We have one perfect boy become available from our most recent litter. Beans is 11 weeks old today and the most absolute perfect puppy.
He is CKC registered, vet checked, has first vaccines, dewormed and microchipped. He comes with a health guarantee and a puppy go home pack along with a trial of Trupanion insurance.
His parents have OFA health testing completed and both parents have done very well In the show ring. This boy could absolutely be shown as well. He’s got a beautiful head and great conformation.
We are selective about where he will land, but if you are interested please reach out.

French Bulldogs are one of the breeds most predisposed to neurological disease due to their chondrodystrophic conformation and selective breeding. A high prevalence of both intracranial and spinal diseases has been reported in this breed, including intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)—with intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH) being one of the most common and clinically significant manifestations.

📄 Study details
• Published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science
• 2025
• 2,101 French Bulldogs included
• Data from multiple Italian veterinary referral centres
• MRI-confirmed IVDH cases

🔍 What is IVDH? (and why it matters)

Intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH) is the pathological displacement of an intervertebral disc into the vertebral canal following rupture of the annulus fibrosus. It is the most prevalent form of IVDD and one of the leading causes of pain and neurological dysfunction in dogs.

IVDH is a progressive degenerative condition, characterised by:
• Metaplasia
• Dehydration
• Calcification of the nucleus pulposus (NP)

Biomechanical strain and trauma accelerate these degenerative changes, ultimately resulting in herniation of disc material.

🦴 Breed relevance
In chondrodystrophic breeds such as French Bulldogs and Dachshunds, IVDH most commonly presents as Hansen type I disease:
• Acute or peracute extrusion of the NP
• Rupture of the annulus fibrosus
• Compression of the vertebral canal and spinal cord

Hansen type II disease (disc protrusion) may also occur, involving:
• Gradual NP displacement
• Progressive bulging of the annulus toward the vertebral canal

🧠 Why neurological signs occur
Spinal cord injury results from:
• Compression
• Contusion
• Hemorrhage
• Laceration

Clinical signs vary with spinal location and severity of injury, ranging from pain to paresis or paralysis.

📌 In French Bulldogs, IVDH is one of the most frequently diagnosed causes of myelopathy.

I love the Crumps mini trainers for Frenchies, and yes to absolute yes for the dremel. There is NO need for your dog to have long nails and NO need to have to go to a groomer. My dogs dont LOVE having their nails done but they know it’s a non negotiable and I don’t let them get away with refusing. BUT that tolerance was started as little puppies and rewarded highly for allowing it to be done. Even if it meant just one nail per sitting. Long nails are painful and the stress of going to a groomer or just having them done in general is unnecessary if you train them. We do nails weekly here, takes just a few mins and they do great.

So as I go to register my litter today; the application asks…. Does the sire and dam meet the ROE requirements?

Below are the ONLY colors and coat markings that are acceptable for CKC registration.

So if you bred a Merle, a lilac, a black and tan, a sable, a blue, a sparkle rainbow, fluffy, you are LYING on your registration and that frenchie is NOT purebred nor should be given registration for that litter. People need to start understanding this. Should you buy from a breeder who is lying right off the bat??? is this someone you should trust ?! Knowing your puppy has falsified papers?

People say it all the time:

“I promise, they’ll have a good home.”
But what that means to me, as a breeder, goes so far beyond what most people think.

A “good home” isn’t just a nice house.
It isn’t square footage or a fenced yard or matching dog bowls.

It’s a feeling.
A standard.
A commitment.
A heart-space where a dog is truly seen, deeply loved, and intentionally cared for.

A good home is someone who understands this isn’t “just a dog.”
This is a piece of my heart.
A life I stayed up with at 2 AM.
A life I prayed over when they were the size of a lemon.
A life whose first breath I celebrated… and whose first latch I protected.

A good home is someone who shows up for that dog, not just the cute moments.

Someone who:
• rearranges their schedule without complaining.
• gets on the floor and comforts them through fear stages.
• trims nails even when the dog wiggles.
• shows patience through the puppy chaos.
• doesn’t quit when it gets inconvenient.

A good home is someone who asks questions, not someone who pretends they already know.

Someone who chooses growth.
Consistency over shortcuts.
Love over frustration.

A good home is someone who sends updates not because they HAVE to, but because they WANT to.

Those messages mean more to me than people realize.
When I see your puppy smiling in your arms.
When I see them with your kids.
When I see them sleeping in their new bed.

My heart exhales.

Because that’s when I know they’re safe.
That’s when I know I made the right choice.

A good home is someone who honors the contract not because it’s a rule, but because it protects the dog.

Someone who understands:
“If life ever falls apart, this puppy comes back to me.”

Not Craigslist.
Not a shelter.
Not a stranger.
Me.

A good home is someone who remembers that behind every puppy is a breeder who cared so deeply it hurt sometimes.

Who cried over the weak ones.
Who weighed them through the night.
Who kept mama comfortable.
Who didn’t travel because babies needed her.
Who poured time, money, emotion, prayer, and intention into every moment of their beginning.

A good home values that.
Respects that.
And cherishes the puppy because of it.

A good home isn’t perfect.
It’s present.
It’s committed.
It’s willing.
It’s loving.

A good home is someone who looks at this dog and thinks:
“You’re not here to make my life cuter, you’re here to be part of my family.”

That’s what I look for.
That’s what matters to me.
Not perfection.
Not aesthetics.
Not status.

But heart.
Real, patient, everyday love.

Because when I send a puppy home, I’m not “selling a dog.”
I’m trusting a stranger with a life I’ve carried in my hands.
A life I’ve already loved deeply.

And a good home is the kind of home where that love continues for the whole lifetime of the dog.
