Shows, Visits & Enquiries
Come See Us
We are in the ring most months and open to the public four times a year. If you would rather meet the dogs before you commit to anything — and you should — this page tells you where and when.
USA
Viewings strictly by appointmentThe more specific you are, the more useful our answer is. Colour, sex, timeline, whether you want to show or just want a good dog — all of it helps.
We do not do walk-ins. Puppies under eight weeks are not shown to visitors — not because we are hiding anything, but because their immune systems are not ready for it. Book an appointment and you will meet the parents on the first visit.
Two things we get asked constantly, so we will save you the message: yes, we ship nationwide by flight nanny only — never cargo. And no, we do not sell breeding rights on pet-quality puppies at any price.
Where our dogs are entered, which rings, and when. Public events are marked — come and meet the breed, ask anything, and watch what a correctly-built Frenchie actually moves like.
If your question is not here, ask it. We would rather answer twenty questions before a deposit than one complaint after one.
Pet-quality puppies from our classic and pied lines start around $6,000. Blue, chocolate and platinum sit between $7,500 and $9,500. Isabella, new shade and merle run $11,000 to $14,000. Fluffy and stacked exotics go higher and are usually reserved before they are born. Prices include the pedigree, panel results, microchip, vaccinations and the two-year health guarantee — no add-ons at pickup.
Flight nanny only — the puppy travels in cabin, in a carrier, with a person whose whole job is that puppy. We do not ship cargo under any circumstances and we will not make an exception. Nanny service runs $650 to $900 depending on distance. Ground transport within a four-hour radius of the Bronx is $300.
Not on a pet-quality puppy, at any price. Full registration is offered on a case-by-case basis to established breeders with a health-testing record we can verify, and it is priced separately. If you are starting out and serious, talk to us — we would rather mentor you properly than sell you papers.
Because the fastest person with a card is not always the right home. We screen first, then take deposits, then assign pick order by deposit date. It is slower and it costs us sales, and it is the single biggest reason no Illmatic dog has ever turned up in a rescue.
The colour itself is not the problem — the breeding behind it usually is. Dilute coats carry a real risk of colour dilution alopecia if a program stacks recessives without screening skin and coat quality, and merle is genuinely dangerous when bred merle-to-merle. We screen for both, we breed single merle only, and we will show you the results before you ask.
The health guarantee covers congenital and hereditary conditions for two years — written, signed, and honoured every time it has been invoked. Beyond that, the take-back clause never expires. If you cannot keep the dog at any age for any reason, it comes back here. No questions and no fee.
You should, and on your first visit you will. The dam is always on site. The sire is on site if he is one of ours; if we used an outside stud, you get his panel results, his photos and his owner's contact details. A breeder who will not let you meet the dam is telling you something.
Twenty-seven years, 178 documented lines and a phone that still gets answered by the person who bred your dog.
