My wife, Stephanie, found Colleen via the Internet while looking for a reputable and safe breeder of French Bulldogs. What originally drew us to Colleen were a few things; first of all, we were incredibly impressed with her application process, which consisted of 2-3 pages of questions and asked for contacts in which she personally called each contact that we listed. Colleen honestly does care about where her puppies go, their forever home. We were also attracted by the low prices in which Colleen was offering her puppies; when most people were charging $3,000+, Colleen was asking much less. The third thing that attracted us to Colleen was the fact that she did not run what would be considered a "puppy mill" which was important to us. We wanted healthy mothers and a puppy that received more, rather than less, human interaction. Most puppy mills consist of mothers who give birth every heat no matter what the circumstances; this is not very healthy. This also allows Colleen to provide a higher level of interaction with each puppy than one would get in a puppy mill, or with most other breeders. The number 1 thing about Colleen that will keep us referring others to her is the personal relationship that she establishes with each buyer. This is our first Frenchie and we honestly write or talk to Colleen on almost a daily basis. She provides pictures and updates often and is always incredibly responsive to our questions or concerns.
Our next Frenchie will be purchased from Colleen of Frenchie Kisses and anyone who asks for a reputable breeder will be directed to Colleen as well.
Best Regards,

If you're really thinking about getting a Frenchie, I can 100% say Frenchie Kisses is the place to go.
I recently adopted "Pearl" this year and can not say enough positive things about the dog, the breeder and the overall experience. Pearl is/was my first dog since I was a kid and to be honest, I was a little nervous about taking on this responsibility. However, even before the pups were "in the making", Colleen was sharing her network of other Frenchie owners, her amazing dog advice and even the latest news articles and discussions among Frenchie owners & vets. Her openness and wealth of information made it easy to educate myself on the breed and how to become a good puppy owner.
Once I knew I was on the list & potentially getting a puppy, Colleen kept me up to date throughout the entire process. I learned more than I thought possible but it made me feel like I had a puppy long before Pearl was born (in a great way). THEN, once Pearl was born - Colleen would send pictures, updates, videos and any amount of info about Pearl that I asked for -- which really made me feel like this pup was a part of my family from the first day. Pick-up day was also a pleasant experience - Colleen and her husband were willing to drive 4 hours round trip to meet me and bring Pearl to her forever home!
Now that I've had Pearl for a while, I can say she is an excellent and well adjusted dog. She quickly adapted to me as her "mom", to other dogs and playmates, and even arrived potty trained and knowing basic commands (sit). Colleen truly raises her pups to be family members and it shows in Pearl's sunny disposition, comical attitude and goofy curiosity. She's a cuddle bug who can't be close enough to you & I just absolutely love her.
Huge thanks to Colleen for helping make this new addition to my family go so smoothly -- she's the best!
