Renee was so helpful throughout the entire process. She made sure to reach out during Bacon’s first few weeks at home to help answer any questions, and she even provided a detailed list of things to help Bacon stay healthy! Here are a few pictures of Bacon, he’s one happy dog!

You call your business ethical, but you practice unethical selective breeding to produce fashionable colors (e.g., Merle [worst health issues], blue, lilac, tan), blue-eyed dogs, or "fluffy French Bulldogs", yet you don't selectively breed to produce longer snouts which would lessen the suffering that brachycephaly causes. You and your affiliate unethical breeders are intentionally breeding French Bulldogs dogs with known GENETICDEFECTS/ANOMALIESthat the uneducated or perhaps educated, but uncaring public sees as designer physical characteristics worthy of Tik Tok and Instagram. The TRUTH is they have a greater risk of suffering through birth defects, development of later health problems, behavioral issues due to improper breeding, behavioral issues due to animals being taken from their parents and siblings before they have an opportunity to learn how to properly socialize so you can make lots of fast cash (because you aren't "a bank" to quote your website), animal abuse, abandonment, higher numbers in kill shelters leading to euthanization, higher numbers of animals in non-kill shelters, rising costs in pet insurance, rising costs of buying purebred animals due to unethical breeders in competition to make a buck for "designer pets", heartbreak for families who have to put their pet to sleep due to health problems, etc., etc., etc. All because of UNETHICAL BREEDING. You should let your buyers know the truth about health issues that are associated with trendy colors...not just breed specific health issues such as hip dysplasia and breathing difficulties because of their poor smashed in unnatural faces due to decades of worldwide unethical breeding causing brachycephaly. They should be told that French bulldogs grunting isn't really cute, but an actual sign of breathing difficulties akin to wheezing in an asthmatic person. Asthma isn't cute, so the sound of a brachycephalic dog shouldn't be either.Pain and/or discomfort should never be imposed on any animal because a breeder wants to make money on a “rare (designer) color” or look. By the same token, animals shouldn't suffer because a person wants an unusual-looking pup. A good breeder will never risk a dog’s health. It also shouldn't matter what color a dog or his/her eyes are when adopting or buying in the cases with your dogs. A healthy dog with a good personality should be what matters most.What happens when puppies bred for the wrong reasons aren't born with the desired characteristics and can not be sold? What happens when they are born with a chronic health condition? What happens when the cute designer puppies adopted grow up to develop health issues? What happens when puppies are born of parents chosen for designer looks, but not behaviors or when puppies are born solely for looks wind up with behavioral problems? How many of these dogs wind up abandoned, abused, euthanized, or in the shelters? What about the poor mother dogs who have to repeatedly give birth and have their puppies taken. And that's not even counting the ones who need an undisclosed cesarean, which is common in french bulldogs.You also contradict yourself on hip dysplasia on your website. You first state it hasn't happened to you specifically. In the next paragraph, you state that by taking certain measures, you have seen significant improvement in your dogs afflicted with hip dysplasia. Care to clarify that?When you charge upwards of $6,000 for a designer color puppy, you aren't doing it because you love animals - ethics get lost in the zeros for every litter produced. The well-being of the dogs, in turn, is decimated.Shame on you.Please rethink what you are doing and find another way to earn money. It's just plain wrong. If you truly love dogs, you must examine your conscience. Nearly 400,000 dogs were put to death in shelters in 2022. Even if every purebred French Bulldog on earth was born healthy, you and other designer dog breeders are only adding to an exploding dog population. Too many nev

I have my two boys from Ethical Frenchie, Otis (2.5 years) and Theo (8 months). We get complimented by my strangers about how healthy they look all the time.Renee is fantastic, she answered all our questions prior to adoption and didn’t pressure us to settle on a puppy unless it was a right fit. They genuinely care about the well-being of their pups. If you’re thinking of adding a frenchie to your family, I highly recommend going with Ethical Frenchie.

I couldn't be happier finding ethical frenchie one day looking through Google because I didn't want to go through conventional pet store. Unlike those places, when I reached out to inquire about the puppies, Renee got back to me pretty quickly. She was very helpful every step of the process. She provided medical history for my pup and a list of product recommendations. When the day came to finally meet our new baby she came to our apartment and even gave us the the pet carrier he arrived in. She made sure he was okay the first few nights after he transitioned and we have maintained in contact incase of anything.Spike is such a bundle of joy. The most sweetest, toughest frenchie you'll ever meet with beautiful ocean eyes. He's changed our lives in so many ways and I'm glad that we found a reputable and caring breeder like Renne. I will always recommend her and if we decide to give spike a brother or sister we would choose ethical frenchies again.

This review is long overdue. Renee is absolutely amazing!! Her practice is as ethical and amazing as it's billed to be. She's the honest, caring, small family operation breeder you've been scouring the internet to find. We made the decision to adopt one of her amazing puppies last April, and our sweet baby Gus just turned 1 year old last month. He's perfectly healthy and happy and we are so grateful to Renee.I feel the need to provide our in depth experience here for any others like us in the future who are embarking on the daunting task of trying to find an honest/ethical French Bulldog breeder. My wife and I had made the mistake in the past of going through a more affordable French Bulldog breeder option we found through Instagram back in 2018. We unfortunately were sold a terminally ill puppy with an inoperable hereditary heart condition he inherited through poor breeding. We gave him the best life we could for as long as we could but unfortunately suffered through the heartbreak of his passing around his 1 year birthday. We were obviously scarred from this experience and vowed that if we ever decided to get another Frenchie we would never make the mistake of choosing the wrong breeder again.Fast forward to early 2022, we began the daunting search you're likely on now, armed with a ton of knowledge about what scams to avoid and what questions to ask to properly vet our potential breeders. We started our search with Ethical Frenchies through a referral of someone we met walking a beautiful, happy Frenchie puppy in the city. This owner raved about her experience with Ethical Frenchies. We called Renee, told her about our prior experience, and then proceeded to ask her a laundry list of questions about her process. She was ready for all of them and answered them so genuinely. Not only was she not running a puppy-mill, she was just as concerned on doing her due diligence on us as owners to ensure the future welfare of any puppy she sold. We absolutely loved this!We told her we were pretty certain we wanted a male and weren't too picky on color but had a preference for blues if we had the option. We also mentioned we preferred the thicker body type (she called it a "chunker"). We expected to be put on a waitlist with all the post-COVID puppy demand, but, as fate would have it, she said that she actually had a litter with a "chunker" blue male that would be ready for pickup in only 4 weeks!Still scarred from our prior experience, we weren't done vetting yet. We proceeded to read everyone of these Google reviews and reach out to about a dozen of her recent clients via IG. Nearly every single one of them responded immediately with the highest praise for Renee. One of them had actually gone back and bought a second puppy from her! This was the final confirmation we needed. We paid our deposit and were thrilled by the very detailed contract complete with conditional vet signoff from our own vet. Renee provided us all the information on the parents of this puppy with pictures and health records.In walked our Augustus ("Gus") on 4/6/2022. We immediately took him to two different vets that not only gave him a clean bill of health, but both told us he was one of the healthiest French Bulldog puppies they had seen with several noticeable traits of great breeding (wide nostrils, normal pallet, non-inverted tail, etc.).True to the other reviews, Renee has stayed in constant communication with us ever since dropping him off. It started with her amazing welcome PDF of all the essential supplies we'd need and links of where to buy them off Amazon. She answered all of our random questions throughout the early months. She even connected us to another young couple that bought Gus's sister and also lives in the city. We've met up regularly and are going to do a joint 1 year birthday celebration for them next week (I know, we're those millennials).Gus is as happy and healthy as ever. He's a hilarious little drama king. He is so sweet and good with other

My family purchased our Frenchie, Luna, from Ethical Frenchie several months ago. Renee was so helpful and kind. She was able to match me with the perfect puppy. We love Luna so much. When we purchase another Frenchie, it will be through Ethical Frenchie.

We are grateful to Ethical Frenchie for helping us find our Chumley. He is such a cuddly, sweet little boy! Renee and James were so helpful from day one. They gave us a really great packet of information and Renee has been wonderful checking in and answering our questions about feeding and vaccines. She is so patient with us! We feel really lucky to have gotten our puppy from such a great place. You can tell he was under great care. :-)

Early 2020, my boyfriend and I moved into a house that he purchased. He always joked around about getting a French Bulldog, but I did not think it would happen in 2020.We reached out to Ethical Frenchie in June. We immediately received a response and were set up with a phone call/interview. Before the phone call, we were sent reading material about Frenchies and also how to care for this breed.We spent 20+ minutes on the first phone call. We told them about our living situation and our lifestyle and how this was going to be our first dog, as neither of us had dogs or other pets growing up. Ethical Frenchie was great. They were very informative and let us know in-depth abut French Bulldogs and di warn us that this dog needed a lot of attention and care.We were told at the time they were going to get partner puppies soon. When they arrived, we were set up with a video meet and greet (no in persons as this was the heigh of COVID-19). We were able to meet three different puppies and were told about their personalities.After making our choice, the people behind Ethical Frenchie came to our house in Brooklyn and we met in person and were given our 9-week old Eloise (we kept her name) on July 1. Since then, our experience has been great. James and his team are very responsive and even 3.5 months later, we still text them with questions and they check up on how Eloise is doing.Eloise is a happy, mischievous puppy and we are very happy to have her a part of the family. Ethical Frenchie was a great choice because we could tell they were very passionate and knowledgeable about Frenchies. They always have an answer whenever we have queries (like how much to feed her, when she has upset stomach and even symptoms of pyoderma).Photos are attached of Eloise (Instagram: @eloise_thepudgemonster)

We could not have had a better experience than the one we had with Ethical Frenchie. They were recommended to us when we wanted a Frenchie and they were nothing short of fabulous every single step of the way, including after our beloved Georgina got home. Renee is a G-d send, caring deeply about her dogs and wanting them to thrive. She vetted us before committing to us to make sure we suitable which I respect, prepped us thoroughly before Georgina came home on how to care for her and what we’d need, kept us posted on her growth with pics and videos in which we could see how perfectly she was being cared for and thriving, and answered all our million and a half new parent questions, both before Georgina came home and since. As for Georgina - she’s PERFECT!!! Beautiful, healthy, smart, loving,…CLEARLY the product of impeccable breeding and care. We are so indebted to Ethical Frenchie and have already recommended them emphatically to everyone we know. Thank you EF/Renee!!!! ❤️

I got my puppy from Renee around last Christmas and have nothing but positive experiences with her and my puppy. Our girl is very healthy and expressive, and is very active as well. Renee answers any and every concern I have even months after our purchase, she will tell you what’s best for your dog. Worth every penny to have a happy and healthy pup. Everywhere we go we get so many compliments on our puppys temperment and how pretty she is. Highly recommend.

We love Ethical Frenchie. We adopted an adorable male Frenchie puppy from them. Renee is amazing and goes above and beyond. She is very communicative and great to work with. She’s kept in touch as we are adjusting to our new family member. She was super helpful and patient to us first time dog owners. She matched us with the perfect puppy for our family. He is very healthy and a sweet bundle of joy!

Best decision I've ever made! About 4 years ago I started the process of searching for a Frenchie breeder, which can be a grueling, scary, and expensive process. I was lucky to find Ethical Frenchie, Renee was amazing responded back promptly to my inquiry about the most recent litter. The process to purchase and adopt was wonderful, we communicated every step of the way. I was given puppy guidance, tips on handling and care. The dogs were so healthy and beautiful full of energy and good manors! My particular pick of the litter is the light of my life. He has a perfect build, and most importantly no breathing issues, a beautiful coat and a great personality. Even today ethical Frenchie helps me stay in network with his brothers and sisters, not to mention the continuous helpful tips they post to social media. This is your sign to make the leap and go with Ethical Frenchie today. ?

Just shy of a year ago my family surprised with with the most precious French bulldog from ethical frenchie. Renee helped my parents plan the arrival of my puppy so they could surprise me and was there to help me every step along the way when I had a question. Ethical frenchie breeds the most beautiful French bulldogs - someone comes up to me in the streets of NYC everyday and tells me she is the cutest dog they have ever seen, not exaggerating! She also had the sweetest demeanor and is an amazing companion. She just turned a year old and I know in the future I will be contacting ethical frenchie for a sister for her! Pictures of pippa included ❤️
