Why Pennylane Projects

We named this journey after the first racing greyhound we adopted over 20 years ago. We are not hype and we are not competing with anyone. We are here to fill a need in the family Frenchie Market. We are a home breeder that is looking to place our puppies in caring homes. We are here to serve the buyer looking for a family pet and the buyer that wants to breed on a small scale. We are not Color DNA Chasing. (Though our puppies are loaded with high quality DNA.) We are always breeding for quality health, temperament, and structure first.

This adventure is what we have chosen to do in our retirement years. We love Frenchies and we know you will as well. There is a reason the french bulldog breed has become one of the most popular in the world.

We are a full service, family friendly breeder. If you are looking for a breeder you can trust for excellence and feel safe with throughout the puppy buying process then look no further.

French Bulldogs

What you need to know

A French Bulldog from a quality breeder with quality genetic lines is expensive

To bring a French Bulldog litter into the world costs between $4,000 and $9,000. That includes breeding, testing, delivering and whelping.

Each of our breeder females was an $8,000 to $15,000 initial investment

Taking care of each female (vet visits, Food, etc) is $2,000 to $3,000 per year.

We must pay stud fees and French Bulldogs must be artificially inseminated. That is $2,000 to $10,000

An average French Bulldog litter is 2-4 pups

Once the litter is delivered by C Section (No natural birth) The pups must be cared for by us every 2 hours for the first 2 weeks. Then it changes to every 3 hours for the next two weeks.

Then the pups go to the Vet for the health check, shots, deworming, microchipping. During this time they play with other animals and our children so they are socialized and ready to bond with you.

Buying from a reputable, high quality breeder is expensive. There is no such thing as a "Cheap" Frenchie. If you buy "cheap" you will probably spend much more than $10,000 in vet bills because of the poor genetics in the "cheap" Frenchie.

While there are no guarantees when you purchase a living animal, there are better odds of long term health when you invest in a quality French Bulldog.

Whether you are looking for a high quality pet or a foundational breeding dog we have what you need.
