Fluffy Frenchie Puppies for Sale in New Mexico

New Mexico has a climate all its own, and the nicest thing about it for a Frenchie is what happens after sundown.

Because the state sits so high up, the dry desert air lets the heat fall away fast once the sun goes down. So even when an Albuquerque afternoon reaches the low 90s, the evening turns cool and pleasant, which is the perfect window to walk your dog. During the day, the summer sun is strong and the air is bone-dry, which makes for a simple routine: walk in the early morning or the evening, keep your Frenchie indoors and cool at midday, and set out water often, since dry air pulls moisture from a dog quickly. Down south around Las Cruces the summers run hotter, while the days rarely turn brutal the way they do in the low desert to the west.

Winter depends on where you are, because the land climbs as you go north. Around Las Cruces and the south it stays mild. In Albuquerque you get a light, real winter with a bit of snow. And up in Santa Fe, sitting at seven thousand feet, winter means genuine cold and steady snow, and a warm coat becomes a must for your Frenchie up there. Wherever you are, a short-haired dog appreciates a sweater once the temperature drops.

The reward for planning around the heat is a lot of gorgeous weather the rest of the year. Spring and fall are long and lovely, and an evening walk along the Paseo del Bosque Trail beside the Rio Grande in Albuquerque is a real pleasure for you and your dog alike.
