We price our puppies based on several factors, most importantly color & patterning, conformation, temperament, and, of course, health. In young pups, temperament is the hardest thing to judge at a very early age since about all they do is eat, sleep, and poop. However, our experience and research indicate that the temperament of puppies tends to pattern those of mom and dad (or mom or dad, if mom and dad have significantly different personalities). Since all of our breeding males and females love people, you can rest assured that your Frenchie puppy will also. However, other personality traits, such as whether they are inquisitive or shy, laid back or very energetic, very quiet or more demanding of attention, etc. tend not to be very evident until they are 6 or 7 weeks old (which is why we do not start the FORMAL placement of puppies until the vet checks are done and the video is posted), although we can get some indication prior to that age. We have found that our past clients have loved whichever personality traits their pups have developed (and certain behavior, if it is determined to be undesirable, can certainly be modified with proper training and attention).

Assuming good conformation and health, the most important factors in pricing are color and pattern. As in all aspects of a free market economy, rarity and desirability determine value and price; the more rare and desirable, the higher the price. Generally, the more rare colors and patterns are created by recessive genes. For example, solid coloration is dominant over piedness, the chocolate color is recessive, blue coloration is recessive, pure black (with no brindling) is recessive, and black with tan points is recessive. For a recessive trait to come through, the pup must inherit the recessive gene from both the mother and the father. If the pup inherits the recessive gene from one of the parents but the dominant gene from the other, the pup will express the dominant characteristic but will carry the recessive characteristic (which could be passed on to offspring).

While we believe that all Frenchies are unique and beautiful, we do price our Frenchie puppies based on their relative rareness and desirability. The following is a list of colors from less rare to more rare: brindle, fawn, sable, cream, blue or  chocolate brindle, lilac brindle, blue or chocolate fawn, lilac fawn, blue or chocolate sable, lilac sable, black & tan, blue or chocolate & tan, lilac & tan, pure black, pure blue or chocolate, pure lilac and the pieds in each of these colors. We produce all of these colors, which are all created from naturally occurring genes in the Frenchie gene pool.  We do not produce merles or long hairs, since they are created from introduced genes from other breeds.  For the few pups that we do sell with full AKC registration, in addition to an additional cost for breeding rights, an additional cost is added for pups carrying the rarer recessive genes, i.e., chocolate, blue, recessive black, and tan points.

We do not post our prices on our website, but our prices are very competitive for the quality of Frenchie puppies we produce. Just give us a call or send us a text or an e-mail to get our general pricing information. While we do not want to go broke with this hobby, our most important considerations are improving the French Bulldog breed through carefully selected breedings and by placing our puppies into loving homes like yours.
