What you need to Know about a French Bulldog before owning one Some very general and reliable information.

Our puppies come from health screened, correct in conformation parents who have wonderful temperaments to pass onto the next generation. You will find that most of the puppies that are for sale on our site are older than the average pets available on the internet. We do not place any puppies before the age of twelve weeks. More likely our puppies become available between the ages of 4 - 6 months. The reason for this is that we keep our puppies longer in hopes to be able to pick out which ones will be our next champions and which ones will become companions. We believe they adjust better to their new homes when they have been able to be socialized with their littermates, Sire, Dam and our other adult Frenchies. All of our puppies are socialized, started potty training, are good about nails, ear cleanings, baths, crate trained, leash trained, etc. Our puppies are exposed to as much as possible before going to their new homes. They are not just crated and left there.  We then get to know each puppy’s personality so that we know what kind of home the puppy would best be suited for. Not all Frenchies have the same temperament or activity level. We do not believe in the "click and pick" method. Here at Stonehill we screen all potential buyers. We strive to place the right puppies with the right families.

Our puppies will also have had all of their vaccines.  This is a great savings to you as you will not have any additional expenses, and you will also be able to take your new puppy to new places.

All puppies are on a spay or neuter contract. Ethical and reputable breeders sell their puppies this way.

Ethical and reputable breeders also charge anywhere from 2500.00 and up for their puppies.

Ethical and reputable breeders show in conformation, have sound temperaments. We strive for health, temperament, conformation. Unethical breeders do none of that. You are certainly able to find a much cheaper French Bulldog online. There are thousands of them but the again you could pay up to 7,000.00 in medical bills by the time your "cheaper" French bulldog is 3 yrs old. All because you bought one from an unethical breeder that doesn't health screen or guarantee any of their dogs.

French Bulldogs are a dwarf breed; they can and do have health issues. Check with a vet that specializes in French Bulldogs to see how much spinal, elongated surgeries cost before purchasing your new French Bulldog.
