Is My French Bulldog Potty Trained Before Arrival in My Home?

You may wonder, “Is my French Bulldog potty trained before joining me in my home?” The answer is yes and no. We use a litter box filled with recycled newspaper pellets to train our Frenchie pups. The box is placed in their area around 4-5 weeks old and they are encouraged to use it. This method works great and we encourage you to continue using it until they have their full series of shots as puppy diseases like parvo can hide out in the ground. Place the box next to the door so it’s an easy transition for them.

You may have reasons for continuing to use this system.

You may live in an apartment and getting your pup out in time may be a bit of a hassle.
One may be leery of taking the pup outside when they have to go in the middle of the night.
You may have mobility issues and taking your pup outside just isn’t feasible.
You may work long shifts and need a space for them to relieve themselves while you’re away.
When you have in climate weather this may be a back up method for your pup.
You may have a busy schedule.
Or you may just want to because this method would work best for you.

5 Easy Steps We Use-French Bulldog Potty Trained-Litter Box

Find a location. Choose a spot for your litter box. This needs to be away from the where he sleeps and eats. If you plan on keeping you pup in a playpen while away longer than he could hold it, place the litter box as far away from their sleeping area and food & water as possible. You may think about adding two boxes. One in the playpen and one where he has access to outside of the playpen. If you are using this as an interim until your pup receives shots, a good place to place the box is next to the door. This makes an easy transition to taking your pup outside to potty when they are ready to do so.
Create a routine. Place your pup in the litter box and tell them “go potty” after he wakes up in the morning, after eating & drinking, after playing hard, and after getting up from a nap. You may consider setting a timer for every hour and increase the time until he is trained. Be consistent with the command you use. Go pee sounds different than go potty. Chose one.
Give positive reinforcement. When your pup potties or poos in the box give lots of praise using the proper voice inflection.
Celebrate. When your Frenchie pup easily goes in the litter box shower him with praise and love so he knows it’s a positive experience to go in the box.
Be patient. Accidents are likely to happen. When this occurs, clean it up, increase the positive reinforcement, and adjust your timer to take your pup to the box more often.

Items needed to litter box train French Bulldogs

A litter box with a lip to allow easy entry into the box.
Pellets or pee pads for the box.
A scoop to remove waste.

Order Potty training on Amazon:* litter box, Pellets, Scoop

There are several different types of pellets for litter box training. You can even use pee pads. Personally, I really don’t care for pee pads. The pups tear them up, they are a choking hazard, and terrible for the environment. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ll be using recycled newspaper pellets. The wood pellets could potentially be toxic to your pup if they eat them. You have to remember as a pup everything is fun including playing in the pellets and chomping on them. Newspaper is the safest and most eco-friendly option. If you have access to a Tractor Supply Story you can get the best deal on the newspaper pellets for horses. It’s fine it doesn’t say dog as they are the same thing. I’ll tell you a litter secret. Anything that’s packaged for dogs they increase the price even though it’s identical. You can also purchase the pellets at a pet store or online here via Amazon. Order the biggest bag as you will go through it quickly.

Directions on how to use the litter box.

Spread 1-3 inches of pellets evenly over the bottom of the litter box.
Remove soiled litter with a scoop daily. I do this anytime I see poo.
Refill with new litter. I suggest cleaning it weekly with soap and warm water.

Please remember that when a pup comes into your home you will need to establish his potty training habits. Congrats on your new Frenchie pup and good luck on litter training French Bulldogs. I believe you will be happy with the results.

Teach Your French Bulldog to Come

When bringing your Frenchie home make sure to teach your French Bulldog to come. It may be cute to watch your little one run away while you chase him and scoop him in your arms. But what you are teaching him is it’s OK to run away from you. This won’t be cute when he is 20+lbs and a lot faster than you or when there’s a car coming and it’s a life and death matter for him to listen. I suggest you and everyone in the household start as soon as your pup arrives and I’ll give you some pointers. I am by no means a certified dog trainer as of yet. You never know when or if I will do so as I am a learner and love to collect certifications. 🙂 I will give you best practices in my almost 40 years of being born into the dog breeding world.

First, Frenchies are a braceycephalic breed. This means they have a short nose. Everyone talks about the disadvantages of this with their breathing but did you know it’s actually a benefit for them in receiving visual cues from you? Those wide eyes and short noses allow them to see your cues better and do the command you are visually cueing them to do. Every since I learned this, almost 20 years ago, I’ve incorporated visual cues into my communications with my flat nosed friends and it works.

With almost every command, I start with a snap, cue with my finger , and state the command with my voice. The snap alerts him that you are about to give a command which gives him the opportunity to listen to your voice and/or look to your hand for the cue.

Teach your French Bulldog to come

Put a leash and collar on your Frenchie.
Go down to his level. Snap. Point Finger towards yourself. Pull on leash while saying come.
When he gets to you reward him with praise, pets, and if desired a healthy treat.

Once he’s mastered the leash, remove it and practice in a safe enclosed environment.

Treats or No Treats?

I typically do not use treats as I believe my love and praise should be all they need but I totally get why you would want to use a treat. You will need to practice your own reward system that works for you and your pup.

In real life, when you tell your pup to come and he just looks at you like you are crazy you have to do something about it. I go directly to them and pull them back to where they were supposed to come. Then I give praise and love like they did what I said. The dragging shouldn’t be fun but shouldn’t harm them in any way either. I can allow my Frenchies outside with me now, snap my fingers, and tell them to come. They listen which is an important aspect of safety. Make the time to go practice the come command with your Frenchie.

5 Tips-Teach Your Frenchie Biting on Fingers is not OK.

When your little ones arrives you will almost 100% guaranteed need to teach your Frenchie biting on fingers is not an acceptable practice. Puppies are like toddlers. They learn by putting things in their mouth including your fingers. It might seem kind of cute at 4lbs but remember anything that won’t be cute full grown needs to be addressed as a pup. One of the biggest reasons dogs are placed in rescues is due to nipping or biting. Let’s nip this in the bud at an early age and create your own good Frenchie citizen.

#1 Get the whole family on board to train your Frenchie biting on fingers is not ok.

Frenchie pups want to play and your fingers look like a great play toy. Discuss with the whole family how important it is to no engage with teasing/playing with pups via their own fingers. I’ve noticed sometimes kiddos and teenagers think it’s funny.

#2 Don’t put your fingers in their mouth.

I see a post almost every day, “How do I train my Frenchie to not bite my fingers.” Rule #1. Don’t let them put your fingers in their mouth. 🙂

#3 Say no & redirect

Firmly say no and redirect with a toy.

#4 Use the calming hold technique to train your Frenchie biting on fingers isn’t ok

If they are still persistent after the no and redirect, use the calming hold technique. You pick your pup up in a vertical position, place him firmly against one side of your body, place your arm that’s on the same side firmly over the front of his body, wrap your fingers around the base of the pups inside leg. This keeps your fingers out of the way of their mouth and typically calms him down. If the squirming continues use your other arm to hold across the bottom half.

I’m a 3rd generation breeder and this is what I have done since I can remember…probably around 5 years old. It works. I have taught my sons (5 &7 years old currently) to do so as well. They do it and it works for even the kiddos. You hold them like this for a minute or two and can put him back down. If the behavior continues, keep on repeating this until he stops.

#5 Place in a crate or playpen for a time out.

If all else fails place him in his crate or playpen away far away from your fingers. Give him time to play with toys. After 5-10 minutes, bring him back out. He may just need to run out some energy.

Remember bringing a Frenchie pup into your home is a really exciting and fun experience but you will need to be prepared to teach your Frenchie biting on fingers is not OK. Good luck and happy training. We’d love to hear from you on how these tips worked for you.

How to Potty Train Your French Bulldog

So you have a new Frenchie coming to join you! Congrats! It’s an exciting time in your life and you will want to start to potty train your French Bulldog puppy the moment he arrives. You want to start the potty training process early in their life but realize just like human babies every Frenchie pup will potty train at different rates. I really want for you to be successful at this as training issues are one of the most common reasons a dog is turned into a shelter. I do not want that for my Frenchie pups or any Frenchie for that matter. It’s important that from the get go you are consistent and you housetrain them correctly from the beginning.

Keep your Frenchies space small & clean

In the wild, puppies naturally learn to not go the bathroom where they sleep or eat. When the pups are small the Frenchie momma immediately cleans up after her little ones when they pee or poo. Without the scent of pee/poo around the puppies do no associate the area with relieving themselves. How can we take advantage of this?

Crate train your pup. A pup doesn’t usually want to dirty his own space. Keep the space small and increase it as your pup grows and/or shows he’s trustworthy.
Utilize a playpen. If you let your pup roam the whole house, he can easily go to a corner of the house that far away from where he eats and sleeps to relieve himself. Instead of letting your pup roam, place him in his playpen when you’re eyeballs are not directly on him. As he becomes trustworthy in that space increase the size of the space he’s allowed to be in unattended.
If your pup pees or poos in the house, clean it up and deodorize it immediately

Keep Your Frenchie on a Schedule

Your Frenchie pup not only needs to associate not to pee in the house but also that the outdoors is for going to the bathroom. How do you do this? By implementing a schedule

A young pup may need to be taken out once every hour. As he grows, the time between bathroom breaks will increase. Take the cues from your own Frenchie pup. If he pees before the house at the 45 minute mark, then you may need to take him out every 45 minutes. Your Frenchie will likely be able to hold it twice as long during the night time. I have found a 10 week old Frenchie when sleeping with me, can hold it most of the night. If I crate train, then it’s a shorter amount of time.
Take him outside after every feeding, waking up, and after playing.
If you catch your pup in the act, swoop him up, take him outside, and show him where he should go. It’s not suggested to discipline him for making a mistake.

Use Verbal Cues & Praise your Frenchie

When taking your Frenchie outside, cue that it’s time to go potty. Say go potty or go pee. Choose one phrase and stick with it. This is not the time to play or pet him. You ignore him until he does his business and/or continue to cue him to potty. I usually wait until they are about half way through going and then begin praising by saying good boy or girl repeatedly and when they are complete I pet them while continuing the praise. If you choose to use treats, this is the time to give him one. I always say my love and attention should be all they need so I don’t personally give treats but I understand why you would choose to do so.

Why does my Frenchie target the carpet?

You will find your Frenchie pup will target the carpet that they find far away from where he sleeps and eats. Why is this? Because the carpet is soft under their paws and makes them think they are standing on grass. If you can, block of any carpeted area while potty training.

What about puppy pads?

I am not a huge fan of puppy pads. One, they are terrible for the environment. Two, you want to begin training your pup the way you want them to be potty trained as an adult. It’s confusing to change methods. Three, they tend to play with them and tear them apart which is a choking hazard. I understand you may be using them until your pup gets its full series of shots, especially if you live in an apartment complex. My suggestions is to place the potty pad as close to the door as you can or even on the balcony if you have one. This way they associate the door with going to the bathroom and it’s just a few more steps outside to go in the great outdoors. You may even consider a grass pad made for pups.

Again there’s nothing more fun than brining home a new Frenchie pup. Your pup relies on you to be consistent so he can learn good manners so he can become a proper canine citizen and seamlessly mesh into your families life.

Nine Reasons to Adopt a French Bulldog

Are you considering to adopt a French Bulldog? Here’s a little history and some of their best attributes. French Bulldogs first appeared in Paris in the mid-nineteenth century as a result of crossing toy bulldogs from England with Parisian ratters. They had been imported by Americans in the 1800’s but it wasn’t until 1885 that a breeding program was officially set up and eventually the French Bulldog Club of America was created. In the early 20th century they became popular among high society costing up to $3000 and being among families like the Rockefellers and J.P. Morgans. In 2021 French Bulldogs became the 2nd most popular breed. Celebrities who own Frenchies include Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Lady Gaga, Eva Longoria, Hugh Jackman, Reese Witherspoon, Madonna, and many more.

#1 Personality loving and affectionate.

A Frenchies goal in life is literally to love you every second of it. They love to be a big part of your life and will soak up all of the love you give them. Expect lots of Frenchie kisses and lap warmer for their lifetime.

#2 Sturdiness

They might be a smaller size but they are sturdy. They’ve managed to survive and thrive my two young boys.

#3 Great with kids and overall make amazing family members.

Not only are they sturdy for young kiddos but they also are very patient. I can’t tell you how many times one have pulled on the pups ears and they just roll their eyes and move on with life. They love to play and just be with kids. Frenchies teach kids responsibility and help prevent loneliness and depression. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the pets of my childhood as they were what saved me and kept me sane. They are truly the best friends that don’t go away.

#4 Low grooming maintenance

Overall Frenchies have low grooming requirement. Nail trims, monthly to quarterly baths, and some brushing will suffice.

#5 They don’t need a lot of exercise.

Frenchies don’t require long walks or lots of running up and down hills on a regular basis. A short jaunt around the block or the backyard is all they typically need.

#6 Adaptable Companion

Frenchies can do well in almost any atmosphere. They make great country dogs and can also enjoy living in an apartment in the city.

#7 Fun and playful

Have you ever been around someone that just makes you feel good being in their presence? That’s a Frenchie. They are fun and playful and will make each of your days brighter.

#8 Size.

Their size makes it great for taking them places. They can easily hop in the car and be your errand runner and travel buddy. If yours is around 20lbs, they can fly in cabin with you as you travel across the country.

#9 Expressive faces.

There is nothing better than the expressive faces of these little guys. They let you know exactly how they feel about the situation with their little squish face.

In Memory of Frenchies Darcy & Paris-Otherwise known as The Girls.

I feel it necessary to write this in memory of Frenchies Darcy & Paris, my girls. Darcy really was a special girl in my life. She came to me when I lived in Oregon. What a cute little lady she was and willing to please her momma. Potty training was a cinch for her and was accomplished within a few days as she loved praise but disdained being talked to with disappointment. In fact, when I did so she would move her mouth like she was talking back at me but with no noise. It felt like she was my little human baby. I wish I had access to pics but I just can’t seem to find baby Darcy pictures.

I fell in love with Paris the moment I saw her. She was the smallest one in the litter and a little pudge. A football is what she resembled. Her tongue was always sticking out and I’d say her tongue is longer than her body. Now Paris was the opposite in potty training. She was at least 8 months before being fully potty trained. I discovered that she was scared of the dark and we’d be outside for hours after the sun went down trying to pee. I can see her now. Little pudge ball with her hair staniding up on her back with her front little paw lifted and tucked under while making her best little growl bark at the slightest noise (see pic below). When I say slightest it could be the wind blowing the glass. I almost gave up on her. She must have known because all of a sudden she was potty trained. There’s little baby dressed up like a purple monkey for halloween with Darcy as a witch. I still have that witch costume and many more Frenchies have also been lucky enough to wear it.

They went everywhere with me and went through a decade of life that I really didn’t understand where I was going. I went through a divorce at 26 and lived on my own for the first time with my Frenchie girls. I couldn’t imagine living life without them. We’d curl up on the bed and watch out little 15 inch TV and sit and drink wine on the front porch. Everyone loved them that came to visit. I’d dress them up regularly in a time when dressing your dog wasn’t really a thing.

These two were my little loves and provided so much love. I needed them more than they needed me. I was working on my undergrad degree in cell & molecular biology. They were my study buddies. I wasn’t one to have a lot of friends. They were my best friends. They each had a few litters and helped me pay for my undergrad. I loved them!

After graduating, I decided to go through a yoga certification course. I’d never done yoga before but went for it. It was there I learned so much about love from the works of Eknath Easwaran. He said, “Love is in the give and take of everyday relationships.” It’s nothing grandiose and it prepared me for my future. That’s when I met my now husband, DeMarco. After I moved in, I brought Paris to live as I knew he’d have to be warmed up to them. He of course fell in love with Paris. I then brought Darcy over and he eventually fell in love with her too.

They made quite the dynamic duo. Paris was a little lady and Darcy was a tomboy. They enjoyed being the only children and lived quite a pampered life. Our first Valentine’s Day, DeMarco gave me a two stuffed dogs connected by their paws and a heart. One was cream like Paris and the other fawn like Darcy. This was quite the correct representation of them as they’d always sit butt to butt facing opposite directions.

They again became my study buddies as I entered pharmacy school. Midway through we bought a house and moved to Colorado Springs when I was about 6 months pregnant with our son Tytan. They were both there for me through my first experience of motherhood and sat around protecting their little guy. Both were there when little Trenton was born as well. I remember studying for my pharmacy boards watching the Olympics with all four of them spread around me on the floor.

We went on a mini staycation. It was literally the first time we’d been away. Darcy passed. I felt like a bit of my soul was taken that day. Paris was now the loan girl and I could tell she didn’t know what to do with herself. Romeo came to join us a several months later. He’s actually quite a bit like Darcy. In fact, they come from the same lines. We moved to our next house where Paris and Romeo definitely made themselves at home. Jewels joined us there. It was a corner lot and everyone enjoyed stopping to pet the Frenchie clan as they walked by. Maddie joined us as well. Paris did a great job dealing with all of the young pup energy as an old girl. Oh, and she loved food.

This was around the time Paris’ health declined. We could see her getting weaker. A few days before she passed I dropped some chicken on the ground. She dove to get it and won. I think I held onto hope that she would swing back to her normal self if she could dive for chicken. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case and she went on to doggie heaven in her sleep a few nights later. We moved again and they are buried together in our backyard. I plan on planting a tree in their honor.

Thank you Darcy and Paris, my girls, for being there for me through so many changes of life. You gave me love without me even asking for it and you don’t know how much of an impact you had. Forever my girls in my heart.

Romeo The Spoiled French Bulldog

Hi I’m Romeo the spoiled French Bulldog! Hehe! Momma’s nicknames for me include Romster, Romster Roo, and Rom. I came to join my family as an early Christmas present. The boys were excited and as they rushed down the stairs to the box under the Christmas tree. Tytan open it up and out I popped.

Momma was working as a pharmacist and had no plans of breeding. She grew up in the dog breeding world and said she was tired of scooping doggy poo and wanted to do something a bit more prestigious. Momma quickly found out that prestige isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and doggy poo isn’t that bad. She returned back to raising Frenchies and doing other business ventures. I like it because now she works from home and can pay more attention to me.

Here’s some more pics of me: Romeo The Spoiled French Bulldog

Momma says I don’t earn my keep since I am neutered. Daddy says don’t pay attention to her as I’m his favorite big boy! And I am a big boy at a whopping 35-40lbs. Momma chose me specifically for my size as she knew I’d be big enough to survive my two human brothers. Notice how much bigger I am than my sister Paris. She was an old girl when I arrived and has gone onto doggie heaven but she was a good Frenchie sister.

I am a bit more spoiled than the other Frenchies and get to roam the house when I want, lay on any couch, and have the ability to jump on the bed. Momma tells me to get off the bed every night. She’s says I’m too big and take up too much space. Daddy saves me and let’s me sleep on his side of the bed. Thanks Dad! You’re the best!

I get up when momma gets up. You know the statement, “Behind every good woman is a Frenchie that follows her to the bathroom.” I’m that Frenchie! Hehe! During morning coffee we snuggle on the big overstuffed chair by the fireplace. When Trenton & Tytan wake up they usually come join us. It’s a good life.

When the boys eat breakfast, I work as momma’s roomba cathching any scraps they drop. When they’re done and momma’s not paying attention, I jump on the table and lick their plates clean. Momma doesn’t approve.

When people come over everyone loves me. I used to love everyone but for some reason tall white guys scare me a bit.

I started out on kibble but momma now feeds me a raw meat diet, eggs, steamed veggies, a little rice. I’m not as plump as I used to be and momma says that I’m a healthier weight and that will help me live longer.

My favorite past time is snoozing. Snoozing is what I do best. In fact, I have a special talent of holding the couch cushions down. Every once in awhile I get the zoomies. Momma laughs when I do because I’m so big and bulky. I’ve had an amazing life. I’m spoiled and get lots of attention but of course never enough for me. That’s what makes me a Frenchie…I need love and lots of it.

Jewels Lilac Female French Bulldog

Hi I’m Jewels a lilac female French Bulldog. My real name is Juliet but everyone called me Jewels. I came to live with my momma after my fur brother Romeo. Momma thought it was cute to have a Romeo and Juliet even though we’re half brother and sister and he’s neutered so we’re just friends.

I’ve had 3 litters of babies and am now retired. Annie will take over for me in continuing our lines. Momma says she loves our lines as we have a short stocky body and have sweet personalities. Here’s pics of my first litter of pup squeaks.

My Life now!

I am enjoying retired life. Momma lets me and Romeo enjoy roaming the house as we are the most mature and respect her things. It took me awhile to get to this point as I used to be just as destructive as the younger pups chewing on whatever I could get my paws on. My favorite part of the day is waking up snuggling with momma while she drinks her coffee by the fireplace. The least favorite part of the day is my first trip outside to potty. I’m not a morning person and I really don’t like it when it’s cold outside. I do paw at momma when I want attention and pets. Momma says she loves staring into my eyes and tells me I’m beautiful. My human brothers love that I get to come in and sleep with them as they always beg to sleep in mom and dad’s room on the floor. We all pile in a heap and snooze away. Here’s some more pics of me doing stuff but mostly snoozing. Snoozing is my favorite.

I started out on kibble but momma made the change to a diet of raw meats, eggs, lightly steamed veggies, a little rice, and organ meats. She says I have the appropriate waist line now and am healthier than ever. I love her for taking care of me. She also gives me multivitamins, probiotics, and fish oil. She’d like for me to walk more but I just get to overheated too fast so we go on short little walks together when it’s cool enough.

Annie Lilac Fawn Merle French Bulldog

Hi, I’m Annie and lilac fawn merle French Bulldog. Momma says I’m quite the little beauty. She especially loves how my eyes have stayed blue as often blue eyes turn a yellowish green. Momma raised me from a pup. My fur momma is Jewels and my Daddy is Gizzy. I definitely favor them both.

Here’s pics of me when I was born and as I grew.

I have a special story as momma calls me a survivor. She doesn’t like to talk about it but I am the only pup that survived from my litter. We all got really sick and she says it will never happen again on her watch if she can help it. She loves me a lot and slept on the bathroom floor with me for weeks until I was regained my strength. I love her and she loves me.

How I got my name.

Momma had a really terrible summer last year when I was a pup and lost several people she loved. An uncle to suicide, a best couple friends husband, and her Grandma which was her only mom. She has an amazing friend that opened her home up to her and her other friend who had experienced so much loss. The home was located on the beach in Anna Maria Island. Momma spent the majority of her time there healing and reassessing her life. She and daddy say she returned back as a different person. I am named after Anna Maria Island as a reminder to her to take the time to return back to that person when things get off balance.

I love my family. Trenton says I’m his favorite. He may like me too much. 🙂 You can find me chewing on my water buffalo horns, taking longs naps, and playing with my Frenchie friends. Oh, and momma says it’s important to eat healthy and exercise. She always jabbering on and on about how important it is to eat healthy as it effects our epigenetics and will help us live longer. Tytan and Trenton my human brothers hear it all of the time as well. I don’t even know what kibble is. Maybe I had some as a wee pup but momma switched me to a raw diet early on. I eat a variety of meats, steamed veggies, and lots of other healthy stuff. It’s delicious and I’m the first in line waiting for my meals. I LOVE to eat!

Bubbles Lilac Fawn Merle French Bulldog

Hi, I’m Bubbles a lilac fawn merle French Bulldog. Lilac fawn means I’m a champagne color and the merle means I have other pieces of greyish color throughout my coat. The merle is hard to see but when you look close you can definitely tell. I also have light eyes. Momma says I carry cream. She’s pretty excited about this as I could have platinum colored puppies. My nicknames are Bubs and Bubby.

Momma raised me from a pup.

She loved taking pics of me and dressing me up in cute headbands

My fur-momma is Maddie and I also have my sister Lestina that I’ve grown up with. Lessie and I love to play soccer with the metal food bowls. I especially love carrying one around when it’s time to eat. I think momma appreciates my help.

I am the first to jump in my cage and patiently wait for my food to be ready for me. Momma makes my food fresh for me for breakfast and dinner. It’s raw chicken, steamed veggies, eggs, and a variety of other things like liver to keep me healthy. I also take my daily vitamins, probiotics, and fish oil. Oh, and I have been known to eat a few things like socks but momma has kept me alive and I think I’m over that phase of my life. Momma does watch me close and has trained the boys to not leave stuff laying around.

My most favorite past time is chewing on my water buffalo horns. In fact, all of the horns are mine! When I’m not chewing on my horns, you can find me romping around the back yard playing. I love to run as fast as I can with my Frenchie friends.

I also love when it’s time to lay on the couch and watch movies with the human family in the evenings. Overall, I’d say I am a happy Frenchie girl. Just tell momma to give me more buffalo horns. I can never have too many.

Oh, and momma says I should have my first litter of pups by the end of 2022 and Nacho will be my baby daddy.

Lestina The French Bulldog of Colorado-Lilac with Tan Points

Lestina Lilac with Tan Points French Bulldog Female

Hi! I’m Lessie Poo The French Bulldog of Colorado! Anyways, that’s what momma calls me. She says my name is very special as I am named after someone very important to her and Daddy. Two days before I was born the husband of their best couple friends passed away. They were really sad as they both loved Lester so much as he was like a brother to both of them. In fact, they were the only one’s at their wedding and Tina and Lester were there for momma and daddy’s surprise wedding. They shared in many of the big moments of each others lives. Lester had this magical ability to make everyone around him feel loved and important. In fact, they used a huge auditorium for his friends to say their goodbye’s because he was just that kind of person. Without his presence a huge whole was left in this world.

Momma says that when she was pregnant with Tytan and Trenton, Lester would say if it’s a boy the name will be Lester. If it’s a girl it’ll be Lestina. When I was born momma instantly knew I was hers and she named me Lestina. She says it’s quite fitting as I am a social butterfly and insistent on being with her at all times. Look how cute I was.

Lester looked healthy but he had issues with his heart that he was afraid to take the medicine for. Momma says it’s important to do whatever it takes to make sure you’re as healthy as possible to be on this earth for the ones you love. Please don’t wait. Go do what you need to do. Get the support you need to make the changes for a healthier life.

Momma makes sure I eat super healthy by feeding me raw meat and organs, steamed veggies, probiotics, and digestive enzymes. I also like to go on walks when it’s my turn. You should see how athletic I am as I can jump over the fence to be with momma when she leaves me behind. I insist on being with her and follow her everywhere. In my spare time, I enjoy napping on the couch, chewing on my water buffalo horns, and playing soccer with my food bowl.

Momma says I should be a momma by the end of the year. She can’t wait to see my little squeaks. I carry cream as Harvey, my fur daddy, is a platinum lilac. Nacho will be my baby daddy and he’s a platinum lilac so I should have some platinum lilac babies. My momma is Maddie and my sister is Bubbles. Make sure to read about them as well when you’re bored because I’m way more interesting. Hehe! 🙂

I am enjoying my time a spoiled girl, romping around the property, and going with momma to pick the boys up from school. It’s a good life.

Nacho Platinum French Bulldog Stud- Carries Testable Chocolate

I’m Nacho a platinum French Bulldog stud. Momma says I’m a little love bug. She especially loves that because she believes it’s just as important to breed for personality. As you can see, I am 4 panel clear. I’m a platinum carrying testable chocolate. That means I can create Isabella and the new shade if bred to the right girlie. I can officially start breeding now (February 2022) and will be the main stud dog for The French Bulldog of Colorado. I come from the lines of Mr. Attitude which is my grandpa.

Momma flew to California to get me when I was 7 months old. She says it was love at first sight. I was a bit nervous but she held me while she had a glass of wine while waiting for our plane home. I was such a good boy on the flight and slept the whole way.

My human brothers and Frenchie clan were all excited to meet me. I didn’t know what to think.

It took me a few days to figure out the doggie door. I watched the other Frenchies and now I’m a pro. Momma switched me to raw meat, cooked veggies, no hard bone diet (chocking hazard) and I am thriving on it. Yum! Yum! I get my daily vitamins, digestive enzymes, and probiotics as momma says it’s important not only for me but for my future babies. I don’t understand what she’s talking about when she says she’s taking every measure to take care of my epigenetics but I know it’s important to her and it sounds like it makes me healthier. She doesn’t over bathe me. I get to roll around in the dirt that she says is really good for me.

I spend my days protecting the property with my non-so ferocious bark, stealing the buffalo horns from Bubbles, and napping on my nice soft, snuggly blankey. I especially love curling up on the couch for movie nights. I didn’t realize until recently that I was big enough to get up there. Now that I’ve figure it out there’s no stopping me. Hehe!

I recently went on a road trip with momma. I loved it and was such a good boy curled up in my doggie bed. Maddie didn’t necessarily care that I was there and gave me the stink eye when offered doggie treats at drive-thru’s. Often during the trip I laid my head on momma’s shoulder and snoozed. I sure love her and she loves me.
