How To Purchase A Puppy And What To Expect

We try to make everything as easy as possible when purchasing a puppy. To many people, buying a puppy off the internet is a bit unnerving, we understand this completely and we welcome you to ask any questions. Hopefully this page will answer some of those questions for you and make a you feel more at ease with the transaction.


How to purchase.  We require a $500.00 nonrefundable deposit to hold any puppy. In the event that you can not complete the purchase of the puppy your deposit will be held and you may apply it to a future puppy, you will have 1 year to utilize the deposit after which time your deposit will be forfeited.

The $500.00 deposit can be sent by postal mail but we can only wait 5 days for the payment to arrive, after which time the puppy will be re-listed. To avoid this we suggest making the deposit by way PayPal, this will ensure that your puppy is securely held. The balance due must be paid by either a cashiers check or money order, we only accept personal checks if they are sent 21 days in advance. The final payment must arrive and be cleared before we will release the puppy, this usually takes about 7-10 days. You may make the final payment by PayPal but you will need to add an additional 3% to cover their fees. If you choose to use PayPal we will send you an email invoice, we do not ask for the extra 3% on the deposit.

Please note: We will not tolerate charge-backs! Any charge-backs will be prosecuted to the fullest and will be turned over to a collection agency, after which it will be reported to all credit reporting agencies as an unpaid debt that will remain on your record until paid in full. If you pay with a credit card belonging to someone else than the cardholders name will appear on all the puppy's paperwork along with the actual purchaser's name.

All about shipping. The cost for shipping the puppy is a flat rate of $300.00. We have shipped many puppies by way of airplane and by way of ground transport. We reserve the right to transport the puppy by the method of our choosing, we make the final decision on how the puppy will travel. If we can fly the puppy to you we will as that is our first choice, but this method is becoming harder because of tighter airline regulations, many airlines will not fly a snub nose breed and many destinations are just too hot. When this happens we turn to ground transport. We make all the arrangements and let you know how and when the puppy will arrive. If we use ground transport you will get the driver's phone number and the driver will have your phone number so that communication is made easy. When using ground transportation it might be necessary for you to drive a short distance to meet the the driver and it could be late at night.
Will we hold a puppy? Yes, we will hold a puppy for you with a $500.00 deposit until the regular scheduled time (usually 8 weeks) for the puppy to meet you. If you need the puppy held past it's 8 week birthday we will ask you to pay at least half of the puppy's sale price in advance, this assures us that you are truly going to adopt this puppy, while we are holding your puppy it will be marked as ADOPTED and will not be offered to anyone else. The balance due and the shipping will be due before the puppy can leave our care.

We recommend that all puppy customers purchase petkey services. This is a Lifetime Service (for the puppy) that allows the most advanced microchip tracking system available, the service also gives you access to dog trainers, behaviorists and a complete video library of educational and training videos that can and will make the training of your puppy so much easier. The service includes a microchip that will be implanted and recorded in the new owners name the day puppy leaves our facility. The cost of the service from Must Be Frenchies is $49.95, if purchased separately it would cost $268.98. This is a bargain and only available from approved breeders.

What do I feed the puppy?       

We feed NutriSource Small Breed Puppy to all our puppies. NutriSource contains real chicken with no by-products, it is corn, wheat and soy free. It contains DHA and chelated minerals and quite frankly the puppies LOVE this food, it has a very tiny kibble, it smells and looks delicious and the puppies always gobble it down. We suggest that you start your new puppy out on at least 1 bag of this feed before making changes to their diet, this will help avoid stomach upset in an already stressful situation.  Our puppies are raised in small groups so they have feed available all the time, this may not work for your situation so we suggest that you feed your puppy 4 times a day to start, then as the puppy ages you can drop 1 feeding at a time until the puppy is 1 year old, at 1 year of age you can reduce your dogs feeding to once daily.
