A Fluffy Frenchie Made for Minnesota Life

Minnesota living moves indoors for a good part of the year, and a Fluffy Frenchie is well suited to it. Whether you're in a Minneapolis apartment, a house in the St. Paul suburbs, or a place near one of the state's thousands of lakes, a Frenchie asks for little more than a short walk and a warm spot beside you. They're easygoing and affectionate, content to curl up through a long winter evening and just as happy to ride along to the cabin come summer. For a lot of families, that low-key, close-to-you nature is exactly the point.

What Makes a Fluffy Frenchie Special

The first thing people notice about a Fluffy Frenchie is the coat, longer and softer than a French Bulldog's usual short one. In every other way, it's the same flat-faced, big-eared, sweet-natured French Bulldog people have always loved. That long coat comes from a single gene both parents have to carry, and because so few breeders test for it, real fluffies are hard to find. We test our dogs, so we know which puppies in a litter will be fluffy before they're born.

Getting Your Puppy Home to Minnesota

Minnesota is a good distance northwest of our Ohio farm, but bringing your puppy home is straightforward, and we do it often. You have three ways to go about it.

Flight nanny — the option most Minnesota families pick. A nanny carries your puppy in the cabin the whole way, never in cargo, on a direct flight into Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP). For families up north, Duluth International Airport (DLH) works well too. It's a short, easy trip for the puppy.

Ground delivery — a professional pet transport company can drive your puppy right to your door in a climate-controlled vehicle, anywhere in Minnesota.

Farm pickup — you're always welcome to come meet the parents and take your puppy home yourself. You can drive in, or fly into one of three nearby airports and make a short trip out to the farm: Akron-Canton is about an hour and 20 minutes away, Columbus about an hour and a half, and Pittsburgh about two hours. Just set up a time with us first.

Keeping a Frenchie Warm in a Minnesota Winter

Minnesotans don't hide from winter. They skate on frozen lakes, drill holes in the ice to fish, and pull on a parka for the walk to work like it's nothing. Your Fluffy Frenchie, though, is the one member of the household that belongs indoors when the cold sets in.

Minnesota gets seriously, brutally cold. Deep snow, subzero nights, and wind chills that turn dangerous are all part of a normal winter, more so the farther north you go. A Frenchie is a small, flat-faced dog with a single-layer coat, however fluffy it looks, so that kind of cold reaches them quickly. When the temperature drops below zero, keep outdoor time to quick trips out and right back in. A snug winter coat helps on the milder days, wiping the salt and grit off their paws at the door keeps their feet from getting sore, and a humidifier takes the edge off the dry furnace air that runs all season.

Then summer comes, and Minnesota turns into one of the best places anywhere to have a dog. Warm, green, and ringed with lakes, it's the season for easy morning walks and long evenings outside. A slow lap of the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes or a stroll along the Mississippi River in St. Paul is a fine way to spend a morning together. Just remember that even a Minnesota summer turns muggy at times, and those afternoons are best spent inside with the AC.

FAQs Of Minnesota Families

Q:Are Fluffy Frenchies real French Bulldogs?

A:Yes, 100%. The only difference is the longer, soft coat that comes from one gene both parents carry.

Q:How much do Fluffy Frenchies cost?

A:Fluffies cost more than standard Frenchies because they're rare. Ours range from $2,800 to $6,000, depending on color and looks. Financing is available.

Q:Is my deposit refundable?

A:A $200 deposit holds your puppy. The deposit is non-refundable, because once you reserve a puppy, we take it off the market for other families. If something comes up, we'll work with you to move your deposit to another available puppy.

Q:How does delivery to Minnesota work?

A:Minnesota is a good way from our Ohio farm, so most families go with a flight nanny, who flies with your puppy in the cabin, never in cargo, into Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP), or Duluth International Airport (DLH) up north. A specialized pet transport service can also drive your puppy to your door in a climate-controlled vehicle, or you're welcome to pick up at the farm in person.

Q:Is a Frenchie a good fit for a cold state like Minnesota?

A:Absolutely. A Frenchie is an indoor dog by nature, so a long winter suits it better than you'd guess, since it would rather be inside with you anyway. Plenty of Frenchies live wonderful lives in the coldest parts of the country. You just handle the outdoors sensibly when it's bitter, and the dog takes care of the rest by being a champion napper.

Q:When can my puppy come home?

A:The earliest a puppy can go home is 8 weeks old. That gives them enough time with their mom and littermates to grow strong and start life confident.

Q:What comes with my puppy?

A:Every puppy goes home vet-checked, up to date on shots, dewormed, and microchipped, with health records, a small bag of the food they've been eating, and our written 3-year health guarantee.
