All you will be spending to get each of the puppies will be $1500 which will be for the following:

Does this cost($1500) include breeding rights?

NO, these costs mentioned do not include breeding rights in most cases. I place 95% of our puppies in Pet Homes only. No breeding. Breeding rights will attract an extra $1000.

Why are your Frenhies so inexpensive, is there something wrong with them?

I get this odd question from the occasional northern and western states families where they are accustomed to seeing frenchies advertised for $2000 plus. Actually, the main reason why our frechies are cheap is because we are not out for the money, we are simply out to encourage the breed, we want every frenchie lover to be able to afford one, despite your financial statue.

How do I Get A puppy:

It is very easy to get one of our puppies, all you have to do is to get back to us with answers to the questionnaire below so we can determine if you will be able to take proper care of our puppy. See Questionnaire below:

1. Your Names:

2. How many people are in the family.

3. Who will be the primary caregiver to this puppy/puppies.

4. Are you looking for a pet, a show dog or for breeding?

5. Do you have other pets?

6. Will this be your first experience with a pet?

7. How long will the puppy/puppies be left alone while you are working during the day?

8. Finally where are you located?

They are still available and we pray that they will move into a good home. We will miss them very much. We hope to read from you soon. Thanks so much and do get back to me if you think you can provide a good home.

I agreed to purchasing a puppy from her.

She sent me a contract to look over and sign.

She provided a business account information to have me deposit the funds in, I did that and sent her a copy of the receipt.

The puppy was to fly out of GA on Monday and be delivered to me that afternoon.

Beatrice reached out by email letting me know that the airlines currently are not shipping pets to my state. I did review American Airlines and Southwest and that was correct.

She said that she would have to buy a ticket and carry the puppy on but she would need additional funds for insurance.

So, I deposited the extra funds in to the business account, she promised that once the puppy was delivered that she would return that money.

The next day, she was to fly out to AZ with the puppy and should be in around 650 for me to pick the puppy up from her.

My kids and I went to the airport and texted her that we were there and to let us know where to pick her up at. No response.

We figure that maybe the flight was later, we waited until 840pm and still no Beatrice or the puppy and no text message or email from her.

I am in a loss of $3000.
