Frenchies On The Hill breeds purebred, AKC-registered French Bulldogs and maintains an information-rich website covering their dogs, health testing, and the buyer journey. Their About section notes that all breeding dogs are AKC registered and genetically health tested, and their Good Dog profile indicates puppies go home with a health guarantee and full or limited AKC registration depending on placement. Their program prioritizes excellence and top quality, and they perform a 4-panel genetic test on all females.

Sapphire Blue Frenchies is a boutique, family-run program just outside Nashville. Litters are raised in-home with intentionally low volume so each puppy receives individual attention. Breeding adults are health- and DNA-tested. They require a phone consultation to ensure good family matches and can arrange a flight nanny for non-local buyers. Puppies go home vet-checked, microchipped, and with at least a one-year health guarantee. Registration is transparent: limited AKC for pet homes; full AKC (breeding rights) only for approved homes for an additional fee.

Frenchie Brigade focuses on health and structure first, with Embark testing and color testing on puppies and a thoughtful owner education approach. They publish pricing and what is included with each puppy, and they maintain a helpful FAQ that answers the big question about papers. Their process states that every puppy includes standard AKC pet registration, with full AKC available in some cases for an additional fee. They also provide a health guarantee, microchip, and veterinary health certificate, and can coordinate in-cabin flight nanny delivery when needed.

The rising popularity of French Bulldogs has unfortunately led to an increase in scams and unethical breeding practices. Here’s how to protect yourself:
French Bulldogs are a premium breed. Offers under $3,000 are often a red flag for scams or poor breeding practices.
Use Google Image Search to check if the puppy photos are genuine or stock images.
Look for genuine reviews from verified buyers, ideally with photos of their Frenchies.
Reputable breeders will gladly show you the puppy and answer any questions you have.
Ethical breeders will give you time to make an informed decision without rushing you.
