At what age do you sell your French Bulldog puppies?

sell

Based on our experience, we do not like to place any of our Frenchie puppies into their new homes prior to 9-weeks of age (they need the socialization of their litter mates and mom until then). We will occasionally agree to send a more mature puppy to its forever home a little earlier, if it fits well with the client’s timing desires, and the puppy is mature and we believe it will integrate well into his/forever home. Occasionally, we will want to keep a puppy a little longer because, just as in human babies, Frenchie babies mature at different rates. By 9-weeks of age, most are eating like horses (after being off of mom’s milk for three of four weeks), while occasionally others are still very picky eaters, gaining weight slowly, and are a little slower in their development.

We know how hard it can be to wait for your little bundle of joy, but we want to make sure your puppy is well prepared to go to your home before being placed with you. If we have made plans to place your puppy in your home at 9 weeks, but, based on his/her development, we make a recommendation that we keep your puppy for another week or two, please understand that we are only doing so to ensure that your puppy is fully prepared to leave litter mates and mom and to come live in your home forever..
