AKC Registered French Bulldogs and Miniature Dachunds In Washington

Here at Frenchie Kisses Kennel we raise our AKC registered French Bulldog and Miniature Dachshund puppies here in our home as the wonderful family members they are. Each French Bulldog or Dachshund puppy is named a special name at birth, that it will be called until it goes to its forever home. Since Frenchie kisses kennel is only breeding two French Bulldog Dams and two Dachund Dams at this time our litters are few and are spoken for very quickly. We only breed once each year so our Dams stay healthy and have very healthy, happy litters. At Frenchie Kisses Kennel each puppy gets individual attention and I try to have the puppies leash trained before they go to their forever home. They are my side kicks when I go about my dailey chores here on the farm and are taught manners as we go about gathering eggs and feeding other animals. They are taught to respect other animals at a young age. My goal is to teach them basic commands before they leave me. No guarantees, it is not an easy task when you have a whole litter disrupting training sessions.

Frenchie Kisses Kennel is located in the hills above The Dalles Oregon in Lyle, Washington on the Columbia River Gorge about 80 mile from Portland, Oregon, USA. We are Companion Dog Breeders and do not breed for show. Very Rarely we place a puppy with a breeder of an established breeding program.We have a small farm that we are gradually adding to and remodeling. Since I am a Website Designer and work at home I am able to spend time outdoors with my animals as well as indoors. Though French Bulldogs and Miniature Dachshunds are suited for indoor living as opposed to outdoors. I do like to bring them out with me when the weather is moderate. At Frenchie Kisses Kennel I keep a close watch on the dogs as we wander about and if they seem a bit tired I simply return them to the luxury of our air conditioned home. French Bulldogs over heat easily because of their over large chest and compacted air way along with their insistance on being active. Their bulk and being Brachycephalic , makes it impossible for them to regulate their temperature efficiently. In addition, Frenchies are top heavy and therefore have a difficult time swimming. We are very cautious when exercising them during hot or humid weather, and at times must insist they take a break. Though they tend to love the water they must not be left alone in water as they may not be able to get out after exhausting themselves trying to swim. French Bulldogs are known as non swimmers . I'm not saying they are dogs of little brain, more like their can do, can't keep up with their want to. They tend to be very strong willed and determined to do things even if their body says no. I love that the dogs want to be with me, very close by when we are walking around on the property.The Dachshunds are not so dedicated so I have to keep a close watch over them. This is Cougar country and I would not want them to wander far. They all tend to get along with all the farm animals and we are working hard to convince them that all animals are our friends, since the Frenchies are so rambunctious it is hard to convince everyone that they are sweet friendly dogs. I have my mind set that all my pets are going to get along and I am hoping my will is stronger than a Bulldog. My goal is to expose every puppy to all the farm animals while still very young.
