We don't allow anyone to visit the farm in order to avoid infections. 
We can show your puppy on a video call if you would like to do it.

REFERENCES

We have a closed Facebook group with our puppies’ families, where we can ask questions about Frenchies and share experiences about them with each other! Together we can solve everything! 🙂
It is called: Tomkings Frenchie Family, (we like to consider our Frenchies as family because our Frenchies are probably related to each other by a common ancestor. You are allowed to get membership once you obtain a Tom Kings puppy, but we can add you in advance. You can learn a lot about Frenchies there and you can see how satisfied our buyers are!

PUPPIES

We have new litters every month and we show the available puppies first to the people on the waitlist whom we can ship in the sequence the deposit was made. 

If you are interested in a Tomkings puppy, please check the available puppies and the upcoming colors on the website and contact us for more information!

You can see a price range by the upcoming colors. The exact price depends on the gender and color of the puppy and your location, so please contact us if you are interested in a puppy.

We start potty training our puppies as young as possible, so you will have an easy job to make your puppy house trained. Our puppies are using pet doors and can go out to the backyard to do their things outside.
We do our best to raise obedient puppies.

All of the Frenchies’ ears are flopping when they are babies and they stand up gradually as they get stronger! There are puppies whose ears are weaker. Their ears straighten a little later. By the age of 4-6 months, all of the puppies’ ears are standing!

We don’t do DNA tests on our puppies.

If you plan to breed your Frenchie and sell the puppies, it is essential to have export registration. This way, you can prove the pure bloodline of your dog. You can request this document from us even after your puppy has arrived, but no longer than 2 months after the arrival.  Once you've requested the document, we will send it to you within 6 months. This document can be yours for 600 USD if the request was made during the original adopting process, or 800 USD if it is asked after the puppy has arrived.  

In the export registration document, you will see your Frenchie's ancestors for 4 generations. Our FCI registration is accepted in more than a hundred countries and you can transfer it to AKC (American Kennel Club) for about 100 USD. It is a simple process. All you need to do is fill out an application. If you are unsure, feel free to ask for our help.

Along with the export registration, we grant you the breeding rights as well.

If you only want to own a Frenchie and not breeding them, it is not necessary to have an export registration.

We have a new feature, a neat Certificate of TomKings Origin.
It is a classy way to showcase your purebred TomKings French Bulldog, you can put this document in a frame and put on the wall, or on your desk in the office so your fur-baby can be with you all the time.
It can't be used for AKC registration though. It will be sent to you via post in order to make sure it arrives in a mint condition.
It can be yours for 300 USD or you can get the Certificate and the Export registration in a package for 800 USD.

PAYMENT

We have several available payment methods.

First of all, you can quickly and easily pay through Stripe. It is popular because it is very easy to use: we send you the invoice link, you enter your credit card details and click on "Pay" (you can also pay via Venmo, Pay Later, Apple Pay). You, as a customer, don't have to register on Stripe to be able to use their services. It is as trustworthy as PayPal, and it accepts GooglePay, ApplePay, or credit cards.

Paying via PayPal is also possible. It is similar to Stripe: we send you an invoice link, you enter your details and complete the purchase. We get your money just after you have confirmed that your puppy has arrived in your arms safe and sound!

We can also accept money via regular bank wire transfer. In this case, we send you our bank information. It takes about 2-4 days while your transfer arrives at our bank. 

Yes, you can pay with your credit card through Stripe and Paypal.

The Puppy Saving Account is a convenient payment option designed to make getting your Frenchie puppy more manageable. It allows you to reserve a spot on our waitlist by making an initial deposit via PayPal and then make partial payments at regular intervals directly into your PayPal invoice. This enables you to gradually pay for your future puppy, so that when the perfect match becomes available, the puppy will be already paid for.

What are the steps involved in the Puppy Saving Account process?

  1. Reserve your spot: You select your preferred Frenchie color(s) and make an initial deposit of 250 USD to secure your place on the waitlist.
  2. Partial payments: After the deposit, your make partial payments at regular intervals, choosing from the options of 1 week, 2 weeks, or 1 month. These payments are made directly into your PayPal invoice.
  3. Notification of availability: When a puppy matching your preferred color(s) becomes available, our team will notify you promptly.
  4. Finalize adoption: Once notified, you can choose your puppy and proceed with the reservation and adoption process, knowing that the puppy is already fully paid for.

What are the advantages of the Puppy Saving Account?

Reservation Priority: By securing a spot on the waitlist, you have a higher chance of getting your preferred puppy when they become available.
Flexibility: You can make smaller, scheduled payments according to your comfort and financial situation, rather than paying the full amount upfront.
Gradual Payments: Payments can be made at intervals of 1 week, 2 weeks, or 1 month, providing you with control over the payment process.

No, you can pay without registration through Stripe or PayPal.

We don’t offer financing directly, but we have a solution:

Yes, you can get your puppy in Budapest, Hungary. In that case you get 500 USD discount!

Our puppies are our children, we would never risk their health, we deliver them by the experts of pet shipping, and there is always someone with them during the flight. More than 300 of our puppies live all over the world already, we never had a single issue 🙂

Flying in an airplane is just as safe as traveling in a car and possibly less stressful then a long car ride. A lot of people think animals are drugged, put in a box, tossed around with the rest of the baggage or left in hot planes for hours etc.. If this was true then we would never ship our puppies!! After almost 6 years of shipping puppies all over the USA and Canada we have never had one problem besides normal flight delays and that is fairly rare as well.

Your puppy will not be stacked on top of suitcases. Airlines have special places for pets so that they will be protected from cargo and luggage. It is temperature controlled and pressurized just like the cabin. Puppies are never drugged.
They’re shipped in a new airline approved plastic crate in which they can easily look out on the sides and on the front, with food, water and a blanket. During layovers the puppies are taken off the plane and placed in a temperature controlled holding room until they can be put on their connecting flight.

Extra food is taped to the side of the crate in the event of an unexpected layover/delay. Shipping pups takes a lot of time and planning. Pups must be taken to the vet just before shipping to get a shipping health certificate.

Please check out this video.

Our puppies are flying to their loving new families usually when they are 13-16 weeks old depending on the airline, at that age they have all the shots, so you don’t have to pay your vet hundreds of dollars for the shots. We start potty training our puppies as soon as possible for you to have an easier job when you receive your little angel and they are strong enough to leave their mommy safely. Waiting for a few more weeks is worth to know your pup is healthy and got all the shots, so we believe this is the best age. 🙂
