An aspect of my work here at NW Frenchies that I take pride in is how socialized my French Bulldog puppies are. This is something only small, quality-focused breeding can achieve and is integral in forming positive human associations early in life. Socializing a puppy is important because the new owners certainly want a puppy that can trust and love their human companion from the start! Imagine being an 8 week old puppy, and in one day everything you know if life changes. For 8 weeks your puppy had the comfort and familiarity of siblings, mom, humans, living space, schedule, smells, food and so on. Now in one instant you no longer have anything you have always known, being in an unfamiliar place, held by unfamiliar hands. Its a traumatic experience and can cause a puppy loose her appetite, become sad, have diarrhea, and this stress can even damper the immune system. We do everything possible to facilitate a smoother transition home, and socialization is one of those very important things!

Notice in how many of my photos my puppies are being held, or are with my children. Its because we are constantly playing with, loving on, potty training, cleaning, feeding, bathing, clipping nails, cleaning ears, and administering medications and so on with our Frenchies. They hardly get time away from us! This constant interaction is forming critical neuronal associations in the puppy’s brain and building a foundation of proper behavior and trust to humans. A large facility/mill, or pet store will not be able to provide this kind of love and attention to their puppies (AND their mammas!) that a small, in-home, responsible and compassionate breeder can! Furthermore, a well socialized puppy is easier to train, and will suffer less separation anxiety when coming home to their forever family. So when choosing a breeder, please ask questions; find out where the puppies are raised, how many litters there are at a time, where their mothers are kept, and how many hours a day they are left alone. Please support responsible breeding as it will make a difference not only in your life, but your puppy’s life, and the life of your puppy’s mom.
