Temperament
“Maple came into the world on a Tuesday morning without a single dramatic moment — which tells you everything. She is the steady one in the litter. Confident with strangers, unbothered by the vacuum, already learning that the back door means grass. She will suit a home that values quiet mornings and a dog who makes the whole room feel calmer.”

Temperament
“Fig is the one who always has somewhere to be. He discovered zoomies at four weeks and has not slowed down since. He greets every person as though they have been away for years and every toy as though it owes him money. He needs a household with some energy — children, a yard, a family who likes to move.”

Temperament
“Clover is the color of fresh cream and the temperament of a long Sunday. She is affectionate without being clingy, playful without being frantic, and has already learned to sit for her morning kibble. She will be perfectly content as an only dog and equally happy in a full household. She adapts. She trusts. She is ready.”

Why we breed
“We do not breed to fill demand. We breed to improve the line.”
Every breeding decision starts with health scores — OFA hips, PennHIP ratings, full genetic panels. We use the CHIC database and the FBDCA Registry of Merit as our compass. A puppy that goes home healthy and breathes easily is more important to us than one that wins a ribbon.
We whelp in our home. The mother is never left alone in the first two weeks. Puppies are handled from day one. By the time they leave, they have been on grass, carpet, tile, and rubber. They have heard the vacuum, the dishwasher, and a toddler at full volume. They are ready.

Our Process
Eight weeks, deliberately
The first eight weeks are the most influential period in a dog’s life. We do not rush them. Every day has a purpose.
Weeks 1–2
Neonatal — warmth and weight
Puppies cannot regulate their own temperature. They live close to their mother in a quiet, heated whelping room. We weigh every puppy twice daily and note their nursing. Our only job is to keep them warm and not interfere.
Weeks 2–4
Eyes open — world begins
Eyes open around day 12. Ears follow. We begin brief, gentle handling — two minutes per puppy, twice daily. First sounds are introduced: soft music, a recorded heartbeat, quiet conversation.
Weeks 3–5
First grass, first sounds
Weather permitting, puppies feel grass under their feet for the first time. We introduce household sounds at low volume: a running dishwasher, a vacuum in the next room. Each new thing is paired with calm handling.
Weeks 5–6
Moving to the living room
The litter moves from the whelping room to a pen in our main living space. They hear television, footsteps overhead, doors opening. Visitors begin — friends, children, other vaccinated dogs. Surfaces change daily: tile, carpet, grass, rubber mat.
Weeks 6–7
Temperament testing
We complete a modified Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test with each puppy to understand their individual personalities. This shapes our placement recommendations. The confident puppy and the gentle puppy will each thrive — in different homes.
Week 8
Ready and known
First veterinary exam, microchip, initial vaccine, and deworming are complete. Each puppy leaves with a written temperament summary, full health folder, AKC paperwork, and a note about what we noticed. We have watched them for eight weeks. We know who they are.
OFA + PennHIP
Hip evaluation on every breeding dog. PennHIP scores ≤ 0.30 — equivalent to OFA Excellent.
Full Panel
CDDY/IVDD, Degenerative Myelopathy, Hereditary Cataract, Cystinuria, Cone-Rod Dystrophy — all tested.
CHIC Registry
All parents registered with the AKC Canine Health Information Center. Results are public and verifiable.
Owner Stories
The dogs, in their own homes
“We drove four hours and would do it again in a heartbeat. The health folder alone — every test printed, every score explained. We knew exactly who we were bringing home.”
Sarah & Marcus T. — Olive
Nashville, TN
“I've had three Frenchies over the years and this was the first breeder who called to check on us a week after we got home — not to sell us anything, just to ask how she was settling.”
David K. — Biscuit
Atlanta, GA
“We were nervous first-time dog owners. The Puppy Parent Guide they sent answered every question before we even thought to ask it. And the temperament note? They described him perfectly.”
Priya & Raj Mehta — Mochi
Charlotte, NC
“Our empty nest has never felt so full. She snores, she zoomies at 9pm, and she has absolutely taken over the armchair. We cannot imagine the house without her.”
Linda & Tom W. — Hazel
Knoxville, TN
“The PennHIP score on our boy is 0.26. His parents' scores are publicly listed on OFA. This is what responsible breeding looks like. We are grateful.”
James O. — Remy
Birmingham, AL
“She came home already knowing her name, already comfortable with our kids. Eight weeks of socialization is not a marketing phrase here — you can feel it in the dog.”
Camille R. — Juniper
