A small, in-home program on Topsail Island. We raise a handful of health-tested AKC Frenchies each year, with sunlight, sound breezes, and a great deal of love underfoot.

The boutique
A little program by the sound
We are a tiny, family-run French Bulldog program, not a large operation. Our dogs live in our home on the island, sleep on the couch, and meet the world before they ever meet a new family. That closeness is the whole point.
We plan one or two litters a year, choosing for health and temperament long before color. Every puppy is socialized by hand, around children, noise, and the rhythm of a real household, so they arrive settled and curious rather than overwhelmed.
When you reserve with us, you get us. We answer the calls, send the photos, and stay in your corner for the whole of your dog’s life.

Loved by our families Every review below is from a Topsail home, in their own words
Health & standard
Bred for soundness, not for novelty
A good Frenchie should breathe easily, move well, and live a long, comfortable life. We screen for that on purpose, and we breed to the AKC standard rather than chasing trends.
01
Full genetic DNA panel
Both parents are health-tested with a complete genetic panel, so we breed away from inherited conditions rather than hoping for the best.
02
Vet exams & vaccinations
Every puppy is seen by our veterinarian, with age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming complete before they go home.
03
Cardiac & patella checks
We include cardiac and patella evaluations as part of responsible screening, with structure chosen for easy, open breathing.
04
Microchip & AKC papers
Each puppy leaves microchipped and AKC registered, with full documentation handed to you in your go-home kit.
On color. We breed the standard French Bulldog colors, fawn, brindle, cream, and pied, and we put health and temperament ahead of anything marketed as rare. A beautiful coat means very little if the dog underneath it cannot breathe or move comfortably.
The dam & sire
Meet the parents
Every claim we make about health starts with these two. Both are fully tested, both live in the house, and both are asleep on the couch most afternoons.
Isla
Dam
Brindle pied · 24 lb
Isla runs the household. Quick, watchful, and endlessly patient with children, she is the reason our puppies come home already fluent in family life.

Banks is the porch philosopher, unbothered by weather, gulls, or the vacuum. Open nostrils, easy breathing, and the steadiest temperament we have ever raised.

BishopAvailable now
Brindle pied · Male · 9 weeks
Bishop is the bold one of his litter, first to the door and first into the water. He sleeps deeply, settles fast, and has the easy, open breathing we breed for. Raised underfoot in the kitchen, he is already used to children, the vacuum, and the comings and goings of a full house.
$3,500 to $5,000 $500 deposit, applied to purchase
DuneReserved
Black brindle · Male · 12 weeks
A water dog through and through, happiest in his life jacket in the shallows. Spoken for, but his story tells you how ours are raised.

Kind words
“
Maple came to us calm, confident, and already used to our two kids. You can tell she was raised inside a real home, not a kennel.
Anna & Reid, Maple’s familyWilmington, NC“
They answered every nervous question I had, before and long after. The health testing was real and documented. I never once felt sold to.
Priya M., Juno’s familyRaleigh, NC“
The weekly photos kept us going while we waited. Otis breathes easily, sleeps through the night, and is the best little shadow.

Questions
Asked often, answered honestly
Every question is a good question. This one is listening.
Our puppies are $3,500 to $5,000, depending on the litter and coat. A $500 deposit holds your place and is applied to the purchase price, never charged on top of it.
Application first, then a conversation, then a deposit sets your place in line. We match by temperament around six to seven weeks, so every family goes home with the puppy that suits them, not just the next one in the queue.
Yes, by appointment here in Surf City once the litter has had its first vaccinations. Before that, we are generous with video calls, so you can watch your puppy grow from day one.
Never as cargo, Frenchies do not fly well. We hand-deliver within a day’s drive of Topsail Island, and for families further out we can arrange an in-cabin flight nanny at cost.
Isla and Banks are both Embark full-panel clear, OFA cardiac normal, and patellas 0/0. Copies of every result go home in your puppy’s folder, and we are happy to walk you through them.
A Topsail Frenchie always has a home with us. If life changes at any point, at any age, your dog comes back here, no questions and no judgment. It is in the contract because we mean it.
