About River City Frenchies
River City Mission
At River City Frenchies, our mission is rooted in a genuine love for the French Bulldog. Located in the heart of South Carolina, we are committed to responsibly breeding health-tested French Bulldogs with sound temperaments, correct structure, and true breed type. Above all, we strive to produce healthy, well-rounded companions who will bring love and joy to their families for years to come.
Our Philosophy
We are a small, indoor, hobby breeding operation dedicated to the betterment of the French Bulldog breed.
At River City Frenchies, we are dedicated to preserving and improving the French Bulldog breed by putting health first. Our breeding program is built on a foundation of responsible breeding, focusing on health, structure, temperament, and sound genetics. Through thoughtful health testing and careful selection, we strive to produce French Bulldogs that are not only beautiful representatives of the breed, but are also given the best opportunity for a long, healthy, and happy life.
About Us
We are a family of lifelong dog lovers located in the heart of South Carolina. Dogs have always been an important part of our lives and our family, but in 2021, that lifelong love grew into a passion for breeding French Bulldogs.
What began with falling in love with the breed has become a meaningful part of who we are. We enjoy sharing our home and everyday lives with our dogs, learning everything we can about the breed, and connecting with other families who love dogs as much as we do.
River City Frenchies is built on our genuine love and respect for these special dogs. For us, it is about more than raising puppies—it is about preserving the qualities we love about the French Bulldog and helping families welcome a healthy, loving companion into their lives.
Your New Best Friend
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.” We use Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and emotional resiliency exercises—to help puppies grow into confident, well-adjusted adult dogs.
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.
Health Tested French Bulldogs
Health, Temperament & Structure
At River City Frenchies, everything we do is built on three core pillars: health, temperament, and structural integrity. This includes thorough health evaluations, including genetic panels and official OFA clearances. We deliberately align our program with—and work to surpass—the health testing standards set by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA).
Our focus is the improvement of the breed through responsible, calculated choices. By carefully pairing individuals based on their health records, stable temperaments, correct structure, and overall quality, we work to produce French Bulldogs that are physically sound, highly functional, and great companions.
Function and Breed Type
We believe that a well-bred French Bulldog should be an athletic, capable companion. This means prioritizing free, open breathing, effortless movement, and a balanced frame. Our dogs are selected to showcase correct breed type—meaning strong toplines, heavy bone, tight feet, proper angulation, and that distinct, expressive look that makes the breed so special.
Alongside physical soundness, temperament is a massive priority for us. We raise our dogs to be confident, loving, and intelligent companions that fit seamlessly into the home as true family members.
Transparency and Commitment
Transparency is a cornerstone of our program. The health test results for our breeding dogs are fully public and verifiable at any time through the official Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) database using each dog’s registered name.
At River City Frenchies, we are deeply committed to producing exceptional puppies today while doing our part to protect and preserve the health of this breed for the future.
We believe this is what sets us apart.
