About River City Frenchies
River City Mission
At River City Frenchies, our mission is to breed exceptional AKC French Bulldogs that exemplify the highest standard of structure, health, and temperament. We are unwavering in our commitment to the breed standard, ensuring every puppy reflects the quality, care, and dedication we believe French Bulldogs deserve. We never settle for anything less than the best—and neither should you!
Our Philosophy
We are a small, indoor, hobby breeding operation dedicated to the betterment of the French Bulldog breed—not for profit, but out of pure passion.
Every breeding is carefully planned with specific goals in mind. While we consider everyone’s preferences, we reserve the right to choose the best fit for each puppy based on our evaluation. We do not breed to fulfill waitlists but maintain a paid waiting list for serious buyers (contact us for details).
Our puppies are ready to join their new homes between 8-10 weeks of age, as we prioritize their critical socialization period. We raise all our puppies to be well-socialized, adaptable companions. Depending on their progress and development, we may keep puppies longer to better evaluate their structure.
Puppies placed in new homes are strictly intended for pet purposes. Any puppies we consider breeding or show quality will only be sold on guardianship basis.
The prices of our pups are not based on sex, color, or DNA - prices are based upon overall quality and factors such as pedigree and titles of studs/dams.
About AKC Registration:
Because all of our puppies are potential keepers and may remain with us beyond four months of age, we register every puppy under the River City name to ensure consistency and quality.
About Us
We are a close-knit family of four located in the heart of South Carolina’s Midlands. Our two wonderful children are actively involved in helping care for our dogs, making this a true family passion. I am a Registered Nurse, and Chris is a talented tattoo artist with over 17 years of experience and the proud owner of Integrity Ink SC, located in Columbia’s vibrant capital.
Our dogs are never kennel-raised; they live as part of our family, sharing in our daily lives, whether it’s mealtime, playtime, or snuggling up for bedtime. Raised in a warm and social environment with our children, they are given the best possible start in life. We spare no effort or expense in their care and are committed to selecting only the highest-quality studs and females to continually improve the excellence of our program.
Not just a new family member
We dedicate significant time and effort into preparing our puppies for their new homes by focusing on their socialization and essential training. This includes crate training, litter box training, early housebreaking, nail trimming, leash training, and teaching basic commands like “sit” and “come.”
Each of our puppies goes home with their first set of vaccinations and deworming. We also provide one month of free health insurance coverage through Trupanion, which starts immediately with no waiting period or payout limits. To activate the insurance, buyers simply need to call within 24 hours of pick-up—no payment information required.
