I love Frenchies.

Q: Do you give full registration/ breeding show rights?

A: Yes,unless the puppy has a known fault and should not be
bred, in which I would make sure you were aware of that at
the time of purchase, the registration would be limited 
 If there are no apparent faults, then I leave the
responsibility up to the new owner. I do charge $500 more
for full registration. Limited registration has a 
spay/neuter
agreement.
<> There are many responsibilites and  a lot of time
involved  to properly care for your dog and her puppies.
If you are looking for a dog that can be bred,you must be
honest so that we can be sure you get one that can be bred
as well as provide the correct papers.
 
Breeding this breed
is not for amateures. They require many c-sections, most
males must have their sperm manually collected as they do
not breed naturally. Therefore needing artificial insemination.
The females are not good moms and many pups
are hand reared on a bottle (serious sleep deprivation)
These are the reasons that bullies cost so much. We strongly
discourage anyone with dollar signs in their eyes and ideas
about how they will be rich  to think again.


Q: Why do you breed dogs?

A: We adore these dogs. I find great joy in producing healthy
puppies that bring years of joy to people.Each is  given attention
and love. I also think that others should have the priviledge to own
this fantastic breed without having to pay thousands for champion dogs.
I find most people want a pet to love. We can and do produce dogs
that would do just fine in the ring but our main goal is not our
next champion.

I have gotten offers from breeders in Russia, Luthuania and
Czechoslovakia to import and sell their puppies. Some easy
money, huh? If I was in it for the money, I'd take them up on
their lucrative offers. I am no fan of importers. I think it is
horrible. Many of those puppies die. It is a very long and hard 
trip. No amount of money is worth it.


Q: Do you make your living off of dogs?

A: No. My husband  works a good job. We raise dogs for
the joy and love of the breed.  I will say I am the one that
spends the most time with the dogs and does the most work.
Since my husband has a good job I am able to stay home 24/7.


Q: Do you accept deposits to hold a puppy?

A: Yes, A deposit of $500 will hold a puppy. By sending a
deposit you are implying that you are ready, willing and  
able to purchase a pup and all that entails. Be certain
you are before  sending any money.  Deposits are not
refundable unless the puppy dies. If you put down
a deposit before the birth, should there not be enough
puppies, deposit goes towards the next litter born.
Deposits are not refundable unless puppy dies. Pick of
puppy goes by the order in which deposits were received.

Q: Do you accept payments?

A: Yes I payments. I hold the puppy until it is fully paid for
(including any shipping charges). You can start making payments
before the puppy is born (then giving you more time) or once
the pup is born. The pup needs to be paid for within a
reasonable amount of time,  10 weeks of age. Any pup kept
over 10 weeks I charge an "upkeep' fee. Only in case of puppy's
death will payments be refunded. By sending a deposit you are
implying that you are ready, willing and  able to purchase
a pup and all that entails. Be certain you are before  sending
any money.


Q: What forms of payment do you accept?

A: Money transfers, credit cards, checks & Debit cards
via Paypal. U.S.Postal money orders ,   and Bank Wire
Transfers. Personal Checks for deposit only.

Q: Do you have a health guarantee?

A: Some breeders will say they offer a year guarantee, some
 all the way up to a lifetime guarantee. Such things are easy
to say. Follow through is a whole other matter. If it sounds
too good to be true, it probably is. 
The nature of living things
is that life is not perfect. Living things get sick. Perfection
is not a certainty. Humans have yet to master creating
flawless animals as well as humans. 
 I understand  your
concerns because you are buying an expensive animal.
Remember, the high cost is for the BREED of dog. When
you buy a DVD player, or TV and you spend more to get
a name brand you (hopefully) are paying for a better
made product that will last a long time. Here, we are
dealing with living beings and a $1500 frenchie can get sick
and so on just like a $50 dog from the shelter. You are
strongly urged to learn about this unique and unusual
breed before purchasing one. 
I added a page to my site
telling the top things you need to know about frenchies.
To go to that page click here.

Buyer is  responsible to provide adequate shelter, proper
diet, necessary veterinarian care and loving treatment! 
All puppies are up to date on there shots and worming. 
They have a thorough vet examination and receive
a health  certificate within seven days before shipping.
If you are someone that insists that a living  thing
be perfect for all its life, then you may want to consider
getting a cheaper breed of dog.  I understand your wanting
a healthy pup with a guarentee. Hopefully you are purchasing
 the pup to love for the rest of his life. PLEASE read our
 
sales agreement. <>

Q: What is the buyer expected to provide?

A: You are expected to keep the dog in your home or in a properly
 equipped kennel providing air conditioning in the summer and
heat in the winter.  You are expected to provide preventative
(shots,wormings,ect...) vet care for the duration of his life. You
are expected to provide proper diet and clean water. We strongly
urge you to attend a puppy class or obedience.  All dogs should be
taught the do's and dont's of being a companion.  Many dogs are
euthanised each year because the owners failed to teach
it how to be a canine good citizen. If your dog comes with limited
registration you will be expected to spay or neuter. You are expected
to know how and understand the do's and dont's of this breed.

Q: Do you ship pups?

A:  We ship Priority Air only(counter to counter) They are gradually
accustomed to the crate and outside climates before they go. Food,
water, bedding and something  to chew on accompanies them. Most
of the stress is due to leaving their littermates, but they settle into
their new homes quickly. From the stress the puppy might bloat up
some and could have less than firm poop. I also ship using a
door-to-door transport service.. I do NOT ship or sell
internationally.


Q: Will you take a pup back if I am unable to keep it?

A: We will always take one of our dogs back no matter what the age or
the reason. You will not get a refund but we do not want one of our
dogs placed in a shelter or with a rescue group. You are strongly
urged to be certain you are ready and able to commit your time,
love and care for many years to come before you consider purchasing
any pup. We feel as the breeders of your pup, we have a life long
commitment to it.


Q:  Do Frenchies need any special care?

A: Yes. Because of their beautiful flat faces, in hot weather they
must be kept in cool air-conditioned areas. They can die of the
heat in a very short time, also, when it is very cold, because of
their single coat, they must be kept in warm dry conditions. The
French Bulldog is not for everyone. People new to the breed
must
be prepared to have a house dog.


Q: Are your puppies house broken?

A: No. It takes weeks and sometimes months for a pup to be
totally trained. Further more, a pup is not physically capable
of holding it until they are 5-7 months of age. We begin to
instill clean habits but our pups are in no way fully house broken.

Q: Where do your dogs live?

A: As said, this breed cannot handle heat. Las Vegas is very hot in the
spring-summer. So, they live in air-conditioning, indoors
.
 

Q: Can I talk to you on the phone?

A: Yes. 702-205-1594

Q: Why don't you have an application to buy a dog?

A: I have seen the applications some breeders have. They ask about the
applicants home, finances, do you own or rent, all the members of the household,
where would the dog sleep etc. etc. I am adopted myself and I know what
my parents went through to get me. It is my opinion that getting a dog
should not be the same process as getting a human. This does not mean I
could care less where my dogs go. I talk to the possible owners and I go with my gut. Many I meet in person. I realize this is not how every breeder does things.
