Harleyville French Bulldogs is a family-based breeder located in Waterville, Minnesota. Puppies are whelped and raised inside the home, where they are handled daily by family members, helping them develop strong, people-oriented temperaments. Harleyville emphasizes health and care, ensuring that every puppy leaves vet-checked, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped.
Their breeding program is notable for offering an extended health guarantee of up to five years, which is longer than most breeders provide. All puppies are sold as pets on spay/neuter contracts, reflecting the breeder’s focus on companion homes rather than breeding rights. Harleyville provides a detailed puppy package and lifetime breeder support, giving new owners confidence and guidance as their puppy grows.
The breeder also screens applicants carefully to ensure that each puppy is placed in a loving, responsible home. Pricing ranges from about $3,500 to $4,000, depending on color and quality, and prospective buyers may need to join a waiting list.

Faithful Acres participates in the AKC “Bred with H.E.A.R.T.” program and actively shows their dogs in AKC and International events, demonstrating their commitment to preserving breed integrity.

Each puppy also comes with a detailed kit that includes AKC registration, pedigree, food, toys, and even 30 days of pet health insurance.
