Our Most Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started & Finding Your Frenchie

We tell everyone to beware — French Bulldog scams are everywhere, and scammers even try to scam us as breeders. Here’s how you can feel confident with us:

  • Spend some time on our website. You’ll see we post plenty of pics and videos of our pups, write informative blog posts, and stay active on Instagram and Facebook.
  • We only require a $300 deposit paid through Stripe, which is a secure online payment portal. We do not accept cash, money orders, Venmo, Cash App, or any non-reversible payment method for deposits. The remainder of your payment is due at pick-up.
  • We post regular photos and videos of every puppy as they grow, and we schedule a video call around 8 weeks so you can see your pup’s personality before pick-up.

We have a simple three-tier process so everyone gets a fair shot at their dream Frenchie:

Priority List (Free)

Join for free and you’ll be the first to know when new litters are born. You’ll receive a notification before the general public sees anything. No deposit required. This is just a heads-up so you’re in the loop early.

Nursery Pups (Paid Deposit — Early Access)

Once a litter is born, our nursery page shows the newest pups. By placing a $300 deposit, you secure early access to choose your puppy in the order deposits are received — before that litter is ever listed to the general public. You’ll choose based on who you’re drawn to most from the photos and videos we post as they grow. Then around 8 weeks, we’ll do a video call so you can see their personality up close. If you love them, great! If you feel a stronger connection to another available pup, we can transfer your deposit.

Available Pups (Public)

Puppies that haven’t been claimed by deposit holders are listed publicly on our Available Frenchies page. These pups are ready to go and can be reserved immediately with a $300 deposit.

Visit our Priority List page and sign up — it’s completely free. You’ll get first notification when new litters arrive so you can decide if you’d like to place a deposit for early access to pick.

Deposits can be made directly on a puppy’s individual page on the website. We require a $300 non-refundable deposit to hold your pup. Often I’ll text you the deposit link directly as well.

  • For nursery/upcoming litters: Deposits are taken in the order received. You’ll choose your pup based on who you’re most drawn to from the photos and videos we post as they grow. Around 8 weeks, we’ll do a video call so you can see their personality up close — and you can stick with your pick or transfer your deposit to another available pup. First-pick deposit buttons are usually on the litter page, but sometimes I may need to create a custom link and text it to you.
  • For a specific color or sex: If you’re waiting for a particular color or combination, we accept deposits. I’ll note exactly what you’re looking for and your timeframe. I raise my own pups and also place pups for other trusted breeders — so we’ll likely have what you’re looking for, but always confirm with me first.

After placing a deposit, always text me at 719-308-7444 so I can send you confirmation and next steps.

We post regular photos and videos of every puppy so you can get to know them as they grow. Around 8 weeks old, we schedule a video call so you can see your puppy’s personality up close. We do not offer in-person visits before pick-up, as this protects the puppies from disease exposure (they haven’t completed their full vaccination series) and keeps them safe. We understand if this is a deal breaker, because it’s a deal breaker for us too — their safety comes first.

Pricing & Financing

Pricing varies by color, markings, and availability. Contact Amanda at 719-308-7444 for current pricing on available puppies.

Yes — we understand this is a big purchase and offer several options:

  1. Terrace Pets Financing — Apply directly and they determine eligibility. Payments don’t begin until after you pick up your pup.
  2. PayPal Pay-in-4 or PayPal Credit — Check if you qualify. PayPal Credit offers 6 months of interest-free payments if approved.
  3. Klarna — Often available as a payment option at checkout, allowing you to split your purchase into installments.
  4. Affirm — If you have your own Affirm account, you can create a temporary virtual credit card and use that for payment.

Visit our Financing page for more details.

After your $300 deposit, the remaining balance is due at pick-up — unless you’re using a financing option that has its own payment schedule.

Watching Your Puppy Grow

Yes! I make it a priority to post as many pics and videos as possible so you can watch your pup grow. For pups I raise myself, I can snap photos and videos randomly throughout the day and post updates at least once a week. For pups I place on behalf of other breeders, I post what they provide — I’ll communicate with you about the general schedule for that breeder.

We’ll post the litter page with photos within 48–72 hours of birth. Bookmark this page so you can check back regularly — new pics and videos will be added as the pups grow. You’ll choose who you’re drawn to most based on what you see. Around 8 weeks, we’ll schedule a video call so you can see your pup’s personality up close — and you can stick with your pick or transfer your deposit to another available pup. After you choose, your pup gets their own individual page where you can continue watching them grow. If I forget to text you the new link (it happens!), just send me a quick text and I’ll make sure you’re all set.

What Comes With Your Frenchie

Every French Bulldog puppy from us comes with:

  • First vaccinations and dewormings (up-to-date)
  • Microchip
  • AKC registration papers (for our pups — some co-breeders may not provide papers as they don’t want to encourage breeding)
  • 2-year health guarantee on genetics
  • The Prep for Your French Bulldog Course (required to complete before pick-up)
  • Access to The Frenchie Potty Training Bootcamp and PAWS Method for continued support after you bring your pup home
  • 20% off products at frenchiesnaturally.com

Pick-Up & Transportation

Pick-up is at our home in Colorado Springs, CO at no extra charge.

Yes — we have several options:

  • Flight Nanny: We work with trusted flight nanny companies who can bring your puppy to you. This is at your expense, and I can recommend a few reliable services.
  • Amanda Flies Your Puppy: I personally fly puppies to major international airports via American, Frontier, or Southwest out of Colorado Springs or Denver. Payment is required prior to booking and is non-refundable. Please inquire for current pricing.
  • Ground Transportation within Colorado: We have limited availability to meet you within a few hours of Colorado Springs. Please confirm availability and pricing before placing your deposit.

About Our Breeding Program

There are many great breeders out there who don’t have the time, skill set, or desire to handle the marketing, website management, and customer support side of placing pups. Think about it — not only do they have to be experts in breeding, but then they’d also need to manage a website, check emails, respond to texts and chatbots, and provide ongoing support to new puppy owners. That’s a lot. I happen to have those skill sets and genuinely enjoy providing support to new Frenchie families that many breeders don’t have the bandwidth to offer.

Yes. We genetically test our breeding dogs to ensure puppies cannot inherit the most common genetic diseases found in French Bulldogs. We are a state-licensed and vet-recommended breeder.

After You Bring Your Puppy Home

We don’t disappear after pick-up. You’ll already have completed The Prep for Your French Bulldog Course before bringing your pup home, so you’ll be set up for success from day one. After pick-up, you’ll have access to The Frenchie Potty Training Bootcamp and our PAWS Method for continued guidance and support. You can always text me with questions — I’m here for the life of your pup. We also have Frenchie support groups and community resources to help you along the way.

Our health guarantee covers genetic health conditions for 2 years from the date of pick-up. You can read the full details on our Health Guarantee page.
