Happy Frenchie Friday

Happy Frenchie Friday! I’m going to keep this short and sweet as today is my Grandma’s funeral. I always think I can fit everything in but yesterday time got away. Making sure the Frenchies were all comfy cozy before I left was highest priority. Thankfully they are in good hands with my sister Sage. 

The last two weeks with the boys in school the Frenchies and I have enjoyed spending time together. I work out on the deck with my Frenchie helpers all around me.The best co-workers ever!

Our babies are growing. This little guy is cutest. He’s the littlest in the bunch but makes sure he gets his fair share of the food. My favorite time of day is feeding time and watching him waddle/run to the food dish.

Hi! We’re getting rolly polly and our ears will be popping up soon. Don’t worry if they aren’t. Ears typically come up between 5-12 weeks old. You might even see them up one week and down the next. That’s normal. Even as we are older, during teething stages you might see our ears flop and then return back to normal. We continue our love for food!

Happy Frenchie Friday

Happy Frenchie Friday! The Frenchies and I are celebrating that the boys will both start school on Monday and it’ll be just us. 🙂 This summer has been a challenge to say the least and I hope our string of losses has come to an end.

I want to use this week as a tribute to my Grandma Pearl who has been my person and my rock since as long as I can first remember.

Frenchie Friday August 13th, 2021

She was a giver. You may ask what does this have to do with Frenchies. Everything. I was born into the doggie world. My mom and my Grandma both raised different breeds even before I was born. I lived with Grandma and Grandpa for the majority of my early childhood. I think I turned to my Grandma, dogs, and puppies to help overcome what my younger brain could not understand or process. Below is younger Amanda holding a Shar-pei so you can see that I’ve always loved little dogs that sound and look like little piglets. Younger would have loved Frenchies. Oh, and that was my Uncle Fred on the left who passed earlier this summer by taking his own life. Be sure to check-in on your own mental health and those around you. You never know what people are facing. 

Frenchie Friday August 13th, 2021

My grandma taught me how to have a hard work ethic. When I was five I started helping with cleaning, feeding, watering, and medicating the dogs. Fifty pound me learned to carry 40lb bags of dog food by placing them on my back. I saw and helped with my first c-section when I was five years old. They hand the puppies off as they are pulled out and you make sure to suction the fluids and make sure they make sure they make their first squeal. She was a great sales women who sold salad master cookware and taught me how to treat customers. Everyone loved my grandma’s kindness and willing to give anything. She was poor but figured out how to create an income that would make her kids lives better. Thank you Grandma for teaching me everything you could about dogs, puppies, and taking care of people. You are the one who made me who I am today.

What is the difference between congenital and genetic issues in French Bulldogs?

What is the difference between congenital and genetic issues in French Bulldogs? The French Bulldog of Colorado Blog

Many people do not know the difference between congenital and genetic issues in French Bulldogs. I would say even many breeders out there do not even know the difference between the two words. We want to help you understand the difference. Often having a good set of knowledge will help you better manage your mind if you face either issue. 

So what is the difference between the two? Glad you asked. Genetic means it was passed on from the parents. Some things are dominant meaning they only need one copy to display the characteristic. Others are recessive meaning they receive one copy from the mom and one copy from the dad for a total of two copies to display the characteristic. Coat color examples for this are merle coloring. In order to express merle the puppy needs only one copy of the gene to do so. If they are not merle then they do not carry the gene. In order to be blue the pup much carry two copies of the blue gene to express this characteristic. In breeding when concerned with health, you are mostly concerned with the recessive characteristics that could pop up in your Frenchie puppies. There are 5 of the most common things that can be passed down among Frenchie’s. We are currently working on having testing done on each of our Frenchie’s and awaiting the first set of results from our males.

That being said we have found in the 20+ years we’ve had Frenchie’s that there are more congenital issues (although still rare) then genetic. Congenital means they were born with it and it wasn’t passed down from the parents. Think about thalidomide and how women experiencing nausea who took this had babies with missing limbs. Missing limbs were not passed down from the parents but there was a transcription error in the formation of the baby. Most congenital issues are caused by abnormal genetic coding when building the body in utero such as single gene defects and chromosomal abnormalities. Other ways they can inherit congenital characteristics is via environmental teratogens (chemical exposure) and micronutrient deficiencies (think cleft palate). Technically, a genetic issue they puppy would be born with but I want for you to just understand that there is a difference. Congenital defects are not passed down from parents and may be detected at different times in a pups life. It may be seen at birth, as a young pup, as an adult, in older age, or may never be detected. Some congenital issues can be seen in the heart, gi tract, urinary tract, etc… 

Now you know the difference between genetic and congenital characteristics. DNA testing can help with some of the issues a Frenchie could display but that does not mean your Frenchie will not have a congenital issue that pops up later in life. Loving a Frenchie, a kid, a spouse always comes with a little risk. I’ve always viewed it as at least I had the opportunity to love this person, kiddo, or pet and it is a reminder to love each one just a little more each day because these are things out of our control. Here are a few things we do to keep our pups as healthy as possible: 1. We give multivitamins to all of our Frenchie’s to make sure mom isn’t deficient in anything even before she is pregnant. 2. Each Frenchie gets a cup of cooked fresh food daily instead of just giving kibble. 3. Our males have been genetically tested and we are next working on our females to ensure they are properly matched. 4. We proved a 2 year health guarantee on genetics and congenital defects. 5. We use “clean” cleaning products to prevent the momma being exposed to harmful chemicals.

Frenchie Friday August 6th, 2021

Happy Frenchie Friday! I know we missed Frenchie Friday last week.

We’ve had a very unfortunate past 5 weeks with loss of friends and family members. Thankfully we’ve had our Frenchies by our sides to help console us along the way. I do find them quite comforting and enjoy hearing their sweet snorts as they lay at my feet while I work. With all that has been going on we haven’t yet found homes for these three little ones: Casper, Checkers, and Chestnut. 

They are the sweetest and I’m enjoying watching them play together in the yard and having them at my feet while I work too. I think they think they are staying but my husband says no. LOL! 

They’re like the three amigos and go everywhere with each other finding all of the fun Frenchie toys to play with. Since they are a bit older I am working on potty training and leash training with them. 

I wrote a blog this week about how to avoid French Bulldog puppy scams. Make sure to read it if you are in the market for a puppy of any breed. I feel like it’s becoming more and more prevalent and hear story after story of a people being scammed.

How to avoid French Bulldog Puppy Scams. 

How to avoid French Bulldog puppy scams The French Bulldog of Colorado Blog

I can’t tell you the numerous times I’ve been told about French Bulldog puppy scams. There was a complete litter that we placed that each person told me their story of being scammed. As many of you are aware, scamming is abundant in the Frenchie world. Most of you only purchase a puppy a few times in your life and they prey on people who are unsuspecting and who fall in love with a puppy. I realize not all of you will choose us as a breeder but I’m going to give you a few tips to avoid being scammed yourself and to treat real breeders with courtesy and respect. 

Never ever give a deposit for a puppy that cannot be reversed.

Scammers will only have you pay in ways that can’t be reversed such as cashiers checks, money orders, bank transfers, money wires, Venmo, Cash App, etc… I’m going to say this again. NEVER EVER give someone money that can’t be reversed. A professional breeder will have taken the time to set up a secure way for you to pay. We use Stripe which is an online secure portal for credit card transactions. We do not receive your credit card information but use Stripe to process your payment. Also, our deposits are only $300 and the remainder is paid at pickup. 

If the price seems too good to be true it probably is. 

I hear it over and over again that the price for a Frenchie was $800 and the person ended up being scammed. I continue to speak with people about Frenchies who said they were interested in another puppy for $800. I do my due diligence and let people know it is likely a scam. Unfortunately, I never know if most listen to me or not. 

Choose a breeder that’s bred for several years. 

Unprofessionalism abounds in the breeding world. Many people will just try it once, a few times, or even continue breeding without developing themselves professionally.  I hear often that they saw the puppy, gave a deposit, and then were ghosted before the puppy was able to be picked up. My prediction is something happened to the puppy as there is a high mortality rate in Frenchie puppies compared to other breeds. The breeder likely decided to duck and hide instead of talking with the client. We have 20 years experience in breeding Frenchies and 20+ more years with other breeds and are used to handling the hard stuff. We also have a few litters each month as well so if something does happen we are usually able to provide you with another puppy. Remember puppies are not bicycles. They are biological systems that are not always predictable. 

Avoid French Bulldog Puppy Scams: Ask to meet the puppy live via FaceTime or Zoom. 

Many breeders will not do in person meetings for you to meet the puppy as it’s a crazy world out there and you never know what you are exposing your pups to when bringing in strangers. Scammers do steal pics and videos to make websites  seem legitimate. You will even see our puppies pics on their websites. They have been stolen and there’s not much we can do it about it. We recommend that you ask to meet the puppy live virtually via FaceTime or Zoom so you will at least know that the puppy exists. 

Bringing in a Frenchie baby is an exciting time in your life. We just recommend you recognize the warning signs of scammers such as non-reversible payments, too good of a price, not being able to meet the puppy virtually, and even lack of professionalism in communication of breeders.
