Frenchton newbie!

[Lori J]

Hi everyone!! My name is Lori and my husband and I are interested in adding a Frenchton to our family We haven't had a dog in years and thought this would be a good place to start. We are starting with educating ourselves about Frenchton's and I hope I'm in the right place! We are in Northern Virginia and prefer to meet the breeder. Any suggestions or information about Frenchtons is greatly appreciated!

I have not been on here in a long time but just happened across when I was researching a food change. I have a Frenchton. She is 3/4 Frenchie and 1/4 Boston. I'd always had Boston's previously (still have a male) and wanted to try a mix and researched about the breed. Being mostly Frenchie my vet advised pet insurance right away.

I had a hard time finding breeders but then I'd read somewhere to look on FB and even though I have a no FB rule I created an account just for the purpose of finding a Frenchton and was successful.

We are absolutely over the moon with her as is most anybody that meets her. She has the best mixture of spunk and relax-mode that works for us.

She has some seasonal allergies so she is on Cytopoint injections and medicated baths but otherwise she is healthy.

I believe many on the board have some excellent nutrition advice. I feed Open Farm kibble and mix with recipes that I cook for them from the Farmer's Dog.

I wish you good luck and look forward to reading that you found your Frenchton!

Welcome to FBN... I don't have any experience with owning a Fecnhton, but I know they are a good blend of the two breeds, so enjoy the love and energy. Good luck with your search
