We whelp all our litters here in our own home. 

It is important to us to go through the entire process with our females. It creates an incredible bond between the two of us.

We feel the females should be in a calm and familiar environment from start to finish. We are their family after all. 

Before Covid we were encouraged and invited into the operating room to help rub pups and wake them up from their c section. 

Our Females, despite what some other breeders choose to do, will always have c-sections due to the size of the puppie's heads and the width of the females’ hips. 

Things can get tricky; pups can get stuck, you can lose a puppy, an entire litter, and even the mom. 

We coparent with our females. 

We’re there every step of the way. We don’t just leave them in a room to whelp by themselves. 

Within the first 30 minutes of getting home we put the puppies on to eat, but usually must hold mom down due to grogginess and safety of the pups. 

Over the next 16 – 24 hours we’ll keep mom separated between feedings and always sit in the box with her while feeding. 

Once we see how she handles the situation, she may or may not be allowed to free feed. There have been litters we can free feed, others we couldn’t. It all depends on how the mom takes the litter. 

Every litter is different and how mom handles each round varies too. 

Each experience is different for her. 

We have cameras set up all over so we can monitor puppies no matter the situation. 

During the first two weeks, we feed every 2 hours around the clock, putting our own comfort and sleep aside. 

Once we hit the 2 weeks mark, we can extend it to 3 hours. 

At 2 weeks we can cut nails.

Around 3.5-4 weeks we can push to 4 hours. 

During this time, we start the weaning process with a homemade puppy mush/mousse. 

Puppy mush is a blend of puppy kibble, goat's milk – raw and unpasteurized, and boiled or filtered water (to adjust consistency). 

We let the Kibble soften with the goat's milk and then puree it in a food processor or blender.

To help with bone and cartilage development, we top their mush with cottage cheese or yogurt  and glucosamine.

Around 5 weeks, depending on their teeth, we'll start a very, very soft soaked kibble, adding a squirt of salmon oil and touch of coconut oil for shiny coats. 

At 6 weeks we’ll start slightly soaking, and ears will be standing! 

If the ears have a hard time we'll use a moleskin patch secured with skin glue adhered to the ears, topped with half of a nasal strip for added support. 

We do not favor taping. It creases the ear and if you're not careful, can cut off circulation completely. This results in a permanently floppy ear.

Thanks to our vet, who passed on information about how to post German Shepard ears to help us with ours! We only needed to use posting once but with great success! 

By 7 or 8 weeks they’ll be on dry food. 

During the entire whelping period we watch for aspiration, eye infections, skin problems, mastitis (mammary infection in mom), breathing issues, and all other abnormalities. 

Once your puppy comes home, around 13-14 weeks of age, you'll notice the ears may fall or curl back, This is because of teething! Don't hesitate to add some glucosamine for dogs, cottage cheese or yogurt to their food during this period. 

Whelping services available on a case by case basis. Pricing starts at $1500/week, Please include 1 box of potty pads and 1 box of baby wipes, as well as a bag of your food for mom at drop off. 

We prefer ai (artificial insemination). 

The ai (artificial insemination) itself is simple and rather fast, no longer than thirty minutes from start to finish. 

• Semen is collected into a bag and drawn up into a syringe with some air to help push the semen through the pipette. 
• The syringe is attached to a pipette that is then inserted into the female.
• The female then stays elevated and stimulated for 10-15 minutes and will be refrained from urinating for at least thirty minutes.

Females start on Bstrong around 6 months of age. Bstrong is a vitamin supplement that supports great reproductive health and health in general, in both puppies and adults. 

Once the females reach 18-24 months of age, they will be ready to breed. 

For the process of artificial insemination, all females begin with progesterone testing at day seven, as its imperative for proper timing of insemination. 

Progesterone testing is a blood test that measures the reproductive hormone levels of the females. 

It can often take four to five tests or even more for the females’ levels to rise to the proper number and up to twenty three days. 

Once the hormone levels reach a certain number, the ai (artificial insemination) is then performed.

We don’t have to use an outside stud and we can do breedings right here in our own home! 

Starting at 6 months of age, males are given “oxystud” which is a multivitamin supplement that supports male reproductive health, and we begin prepping for breeding. 

Once males become of breeding age (seven-twelve months), their semen is then evaluated by a licensed veterinarian. Counts, mobility, and motility are all assessed. 

We have our own microscope to check before each In House breeding to make sure the semen is viable. 

All Shipped Semen will be prepared and boxed by our Licensed Veterinarian. The box will include a Semen Analysis. Fedex 

If you’re interested in using our studs, we offer sided by side in person ai (artificial insemination) or shipped semen (shipped via our Veterinarian through Fedex). 

Due to sexually transmitted diseases even found in dogs, we do not offer natural breedings for the safety of our animals and yours.

Colors are something we’re very passionate about along with good structure.

French bulldogs comes in various shades and colors. 

The most common colors being the standard colors such as fawn, brindle, and pied. 

Other colors are becoming increasingly popular.

With the current trends, often times dogs with exotic colors don't have good structure. They're either too big, extremely lanky, disproportionate, or unhealthy. 

It is important to find dogs with great structure when considering breeding. 

Keep in mind as new genes are introduced the kinks need to be worked out over many  generations. 

That being said don't be afraid of purchasing a dog that doesn't have the EXACT dna youre looking for. 

Brindle, trindle, and pied dogs produce the best structure but the color can be bred out over a generation or 2, producing an incredibly structured dog with the color you desire! 

Understanding what you can create and knowing what the dogs color DNA is before a breeding is VERY important, especially if you have certain goals you wish to reach. 

K locus Dominant Black is the most dominant gene with sub genes like KY (allows the agouti gene to express- also known as no brindle), KB (Dominant black – with no tan points expressing), and KBR (Brindle/Trindle). 

Agouti A Locus has many sub genes like, fawn/sable(ay), tan points(at), and recessive black(a). 

The fawn/sable gene(ay) will almost always dominate over blue (dilute- d) and tan points (at) but is not dominant over Brindle. 

With "Ay" Fawn you can achieve Blue Fawn, Lilac Fawn, Chocolate Fawn, Isabella Fawn: colors expressing within the Fawn.

For our first breeding experience, we co-owned a Blue Fawn Merle Pied female with another breeder. 

One of the puppies produced seemed to be born full Blue. As he grew, the Blue faded into Fawn. 

His DNA is: ay/at (fawn/tan) EM/EM (black mask) d/d (blue dilute), n/co (carries coco), E/E(black), n/s (carrier pied) – Not carrying Brindle. 

So, although he is full Dilute Blue and carrying only one copy of each Tan and Fawn, the Fawn overpowers the Tan. Blue will express but is lessened with the fawn (you can see a tint within the fawn). Also, because he is a Merle you can see some Blue spots, especially in his face. 

With our goals and preferences, that is why we chose Osiris. He does not carry fawn, brindle, or pied (which expresses with two copies). However, due to the versatility of pied, we still adore it. 

Osiris is a carrier for Blue(d), Recessive Black(a), Tan Points(at), Testable Chocolate(b), and Coco 

Isabella DNA is dd bb

For new shade, the DNA would be bb dd coco

– Although Osiris is Merle, he is still registered AKC. 

AKC and ABKC do not (at this time) recognize “fad” or “exotic” colors for show, however they are still able to be registered and can compete for points in other areas like agility.
