Sometimes we get folks that think our puppies are too expensive. Mainly that’s because the market is flooded with bybs (back yard breeders) and puppy mill mixed breed dogs being sold as Frenchies to the unsuspecting public.
If you’re looking for a “cheap” French bulldog puppy then you are in the wrong place. We are not your French Bulldog breeder. However, nor are we the most expensive by a long shot.
We take raising Frenchies as seriously as we take raising our own children. We want families that appreciate the time, money, attention, blood, sweat, tears, sleepless weeks, and devoted love we put into our dogs. These are the families that can appreciate a Frenchie for the truly unique characters they are.
All ATOO French Bulldog Puppies come from GENETICALLY HEALTH TESTED HEALTHY & HAPPY PARENTS. Our breeding dogs live in our family home or a guardian family home as family pets. They enjoy the creature comforts of family, toys, treats, beds, binge watching, belly rubs, etc.
Our Frenchies come home with:
- A health contract & guarantee
- A copy of the bill of sale
- Health checked & cleared by our veterinarian
- Up to date on appropriate vaccinations
- Vaccination records
- A de-worming & coccidia schedule from 2 weeks of age
- AKC microchip & registration info
- Food & Vitamins to get you through the 1st week
- Info packet pertaining to your new frenchie puppy
- Something that smells like their littermates
- LIFETIME breeder support
Let’s take out all other expenses prior to the puppies arriving home after their c*section and let’s just focus on the actual raising of the pups for now.
There are at least 1,344 hrs of 24/7 monitoring until they hit 8 weeks old that we provide often times more depending on when they go home. At our highest Pet Puppy price that only comes out to $3.73 an hour (rounding up). That does not include the feeding, the c-section, the cost of the breeding dogs, their care up until breeding age, their health testings, or the puppy vet visits once the pups are born for checkups, their bedding, the numerous loads of laundry daily, and anything else they will need during their raising up in our home. I’m not sure I know too many people that would take a salary of $3.73 an hour for a job that can be at times, heartbreaking, and create a great deal of sleep-deprived anxiety. And that is before expenses!!!
We are a large family so fortunately, we are able to take shifts. The shifts my children take, they are compensated for. These next 8+ weeks, all sense of normalcy in our lives comes to a screeching halt.
Because for these next 8+ weeks someone must be home with them at all times. No movies, no family outings, no holiday visits with family and friends. Also during this time for the first 6 weeks at least we have NO ONE visit us. I mean no one. Not my siblings, not my friends, not even my Mother. A little extreme? Perhaps, but I’d prefer to err on the side of caution for the health and safety of your new babe.
We take raising your new family members extremely seriously. Raising Frenchies is not something passive or to be taken lightly. We don’t shove dogs in kennels and let them handle it. We provide around the clock attention, care, socialization, the foundation for potty training and clean up until they leave us. Our dogs live in our home. Your new puppy is raised in our front family area. They are surrounded by all 9 of us and all the other dogs, noises, happenings, etc all day every day of their life here.
Every day we swap out bedding at least once but oftentimes several times daily, we swap out puppy pads about every 15-30 mins 😬😨😲Yes that frequently. We do about 3 loads of puppy laundry daily. They are provided the best vet care at any signs of distress. They are kept on a strict worming & vaccination protocol to keep them in tip-top shape.
Your puppy grows up in a home full of life, love, and extra arms ready to snuggle. We do not mass produce our pups, nor do they live in crowded wire cages separate from all human activity.
💚 These are our Tribe standards in raising your new puppy. We appreciate your interest in becoming part of our tribe. 💚
We hope you enjoyed this little photo sneak peek into an evening around here when we have puppies. The babes awaiting their bedding swap and complete sanitation of their puppy area we have set up in our front family area just adjacent to our kitchen we typically hang out.
