Come see where we raise our puppies and our adults.
THE PUPPY PROGRESSION STAGES UNDER OUR CARE
Birth to 3 weeks eat, poop, and cuddle
French Bulldogs are among the most challenging breeds to whelp. The mamas don’t always do everything on their own. We assist them from the beginning until about four weeks. We wake up every 2 hours during that time to help with the babies. We call the no-sleep team—the most challenging phase.
3 weeks to 4.5 weeks add more room to move around + start potty training
We made it! After three long weeks, we start to see personalities and movement. Finally, their eyes are open. Finally, we are ready to potty train, which is usually a big deal for all of us.
4.5 to 10 weeks
Do you like cleaning and playing with puppies? This stage is fun and cute. Our job consists of washing, cleaning, and more cleaning—also, LOTS of socializing and cuddling. We are showing them what’s right and what is not. At the end of this stage, it is the most rewarding since we get to hand them over to their forever family.

The well-being of our moms and puppies is very important to us. We always make sure to provide a clean and comfortable environment.
We take pride in being transparent and showing our dogs' living conditions. Our Frenchies are part of our family!
We don't just care where our dogs go to their forever home; we want to ensure that we provide good living conditions, care, and love. While they're still part of our breeding program, all of them are our pets first. We strongly emphasize the importance for them to live stress-free. This setting also allows us to get to know each and pair them correctly based on temperament, structure, and the overall dog. TMF rule is to keep only the number of dogs we can handle in this setting.
The Potty Area. Our favorite.
The Frenchie Favorite. The play area.
“As you can see, French Bulldogs are a massive part of our life. We, including our children, are devoted to providing families with the best Frenchies. Please keep that in mind when inquiring about one of our puppies. We don’t take shortcuts or get discounts from veterinarians, dog supply stores, or utility bills. ”
