Every puppy on this page was born in our home, raised underfoot, and health-tested through Embark before they ever meet a family. I built Ethical Frenchie in 2017 because I saw too many people burned by scam sites and backyard breeders — and I wanted the process to feel the way it should: transparent, personal, and backed by someone who actually answers the phone.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you offer financing options?

    Yes, we offer French Bulldog payment plans to help make your dream of owning an ethically bred Frenchie more accessible. Contact us to learn about our financing options and payment plan details.

  • What French Bulldog colors do you breed?

    We breed a wide range of French Bulldog colors, each with their own unique personality and look:

    Blue, Merle, Lilac, and Fluffy Frenchies are priced higher due to rarity and additional genetic testing. Regardless of color, health and temperament always come first. Browse our available puppies.

  • Where are you located? Do you deliver nationwide?

    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.

  • Can I visit and meet the puppies before purchasing?

    Yes! We welcome and encourage visits. We want you to feel 100% confident in your decision, and meeting your puppy (and their parents) in person is the best way to do that. We have family homes in both New York City and Chicago — just reach out to schedule a time at whichever location your puppy is at. For families who can’t visit in person, we’re happy to FaceTime or video call so you can see your puppy and ask any questions before committing. Any breeder who won’t let you see the puppies on video is a red flag.

  • How does your adoption process work?

    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.

  • How do you deliver puppies to out-of-state families?

    We personally deliver every puppy — no third parties, no strangers. Your puppy flies in-cabin with us, never in cargo, never alone. The person you FaceTime with during the process is the same person who meets you at the airport and hands you your puppy. The delivery fee covers the flight, a travel carrier, and all necessary health certificates. We’ve delivered puppies to families in every major city across the U.S. — Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and everywhere in between. Learn more about our delivery options.

  • How much does a French Bulldog puppy cost?

    French Bulldog prices vary based on color, genetics, and breeder quality. Our puppies typically range from $3,500 to $12,000+. Standard colors like fawn and cream are on the lower end, while rare colors like lilac, merle, and fluffy French Bulldogs command higher prices due to rarity and additional genetic testing. Every puppy includes Embark DNA testing, AKC registration, microchipping, a 1-year health guarantee, and personal hand-delivery — no hidden fees.

  • What does your 1-year health guarantee cover?

    Our 1-year health guarantee covers genetic and congenital health conditions. If your puppy is diagnosed with a hereditary condition within the first year, we work with you on a resolution that puts the puppy’s wellbeing first. Because every parent is Embark DNA tested for 250+ conditions before breeding, the risk is dramatically lower than industry average. The guarantee is a written contract you receive before any deposit changes hands. We also provide lifetime breeder support — if something comes up at year 3 or year 7, call us and we will help.

  • How do I know you're a reputable French Bulldog breeder?

    Fair question — and the fact that you’re asking means you’re doing your homework. We’ve been family-operated since 2017. Every parent is Embark DNA tested for 250+ health conditions — we share the full panel results with every buyer. We’re AKC registered, have 87+ five-star Google reviews, and we personally hand-deliver every puppy (no third-party transport). You can FaceTime with your puppy before committing, and reach us by phone or text any time. Read our full story or browse Happy Tails from our families.

  • Is the deposit refundable? How do payments work?

    A deposit (typically $500–$1,000 depending on the puppy) secures your reservation and is applied toward the total price. Deposits are non-refundable but transferable — if your circumstances change, we’ll apply your deposit to a future litter. The remaining balance is due before delivery. We accept bank transfers and Zelle, and offer financing options for qualified buyers. The full payment breakdown, health guarantee terms, and delivery details are documented in a written contract you review before any money changes hands.

  • Are French Bulldogs good apartment dogs?

    French Bulldogs are one of the best apartment breeds. They’re compact (typically 20–28 lbs), lower energy compared to other breeds, and don’t need a yard. A 20-minute walk twice a day is usually enough. They’re quiet dogs — Frenchies rarely bark excessively, which your neighbors will appreciate. The main thing to watch is temperature: Frenchies are brachycephalic (flat-faced), so air conditioning in summer is a must. Many of our families live in apartments and have very happy Frenchies.

  • At what age can French Bulldog puppies go to their new homes?

    French Bulldog puppies should not leave their mother before 8 weeks of age minimum. Many reputable breeders, including us, prefer to wait until 10-12 weeks to ensure proper socialization, health development, and readiness for their new homes.
