Standard colors (fawn, brindle, cream, pied)
$3,500 to $5,000 for a health-tested, contract-backed puppy.
Blue / chocolate / lilac (isabella)
$4,500 to $6,500 depending on lineage.
Fluffy Frenchies
$5,500 to $7,000 for a health-tested fluffy from tested parents.
Merle (single copy, responsibly bred)
$5,000 to $6,500 — never breed merle-to-merle.
What the price actually pays for
DNA + OFA + cardiac + eye testing ($800–$1,500 per pair, per litter). C-section birth (~$1,500–$3,500). 8 weeks of vet care, deworming, first vaccines, microchip. Puppy contract and health guarantee. Breeder time (~200 hours per litter). Lifetime buyer support.
Why "cheap" Frenchies aren’t actually cheap
A $1,500 puppy from an untested pair will typically incur $8,000 to $15,000 in vet costs over its life from preventable conditions. A $5,000 puppy from health-tested parents pays for itself in year one.
