Ethical Frenchie

At Ethical Frenchie, we prioritize ethical practices over profits. We raise each puppy by hand in our home, ensuring they receive individualized love and attention. Our commitment to transparency, health testing, and lifetime support sets us apart. We offer the strongest health guarantee in the industry because we back up our breeding practices with results.

Our French Bulldog puppies are priced between $3,500–$6,500 depending on color, gender, and lineage. Blue, Merle, Lilac, and Fluffy Frenchies are typically at the higher end due to the rarity and additional genetic testing required. Standard colors start at the lower end of that range. The cost reflects what it actually takes to breed ethically: artificial insemination, C-section deliveries, extensive health testing ($5,000–$50,000+ per breeding female), small litter sizes (2–4 puppies), and individualized hand-raising. We also offer financing options to make it more accessible. View our available puppies.

We have two family homes — one in New York City and one in Chicago — and raise our puppies in a home environment at both locations. We personally deliver every puppy nationwide — the same person you FaceTime with is the person who hands you your puppy. No middlemen, no third parties. We also offer local pickup for families in the NYC or Chicago metro areas. We serve families in Boston, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Raleigh, and everywhere in between.

French Bulldogs are one of the best breeds for families with children. They’re patient, playful, and naturally affectionate — they love being around people of all ages. Their small but sturdy build means they can handle the energy of kids without being fragile. That said, we always recommend supervising interactions between any dog and very young children, and teaching kids how to handle a puppy gently. Most of our families have children, and the feedback is always the same — their Frenchie becomes the kids’ best friend.

Our process is straightforward:

1. Browse our available puppies and find one that catches your eye
2. Apply — fill out our quick application so we can learn about your family and lifestyle
3. Deposit — once approved, a deposit secures your puppy
4. Updates — we send you photos, videos, and health updates as your puppy grows
5. Delivery or Pickup — when your puppy is ready (typically 10–12 weeks old), we arrange local pickup in NYC or Chicago, or we personally deliver your puppy nationwide

The whole process from application to bringing your puppy home is typically 2–8 weeks depending on availability. We’re available by phone, text, or email throughout.

Yes! French Bulldogs are excellent apartment dogs due to their small size, moderate exercise needs, and adaptable nature. They’re generally quiet, don’t require extensive exercise, and are happy to be close to their human families. Their easy-going temperament makes them perfect urban companions.
