Who Are We ?
​
We are the Slaven's ( Mike & Gidget). We have been breeding French Bulldogs since 2018. I've had the honor and privilege of being a Kentucky Licensed Funeral Director for 5 years, a deputy coroner, and owned a Pet Boarding facility. We have true compassion for animals and love them all. I am driven to help and nurture others. Mike is a man of many hats., industrial worker for 20 plus years, and he is also a skilled craftsman. We have a LOVE for this breed and want to make it better by providing healthy babies for loving homes. It is such an honor to preserve the lines of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others.
​
We are a family-based breeding program of AKC French Bulldogs. We are a Registered Licensed Business.
Our dogs are involved in our everyday life, they are not just dogs to us; they are family!
We live next to a beautiful lake that has spectacular sunrises and sunsets, with the loveliest scenery that nature here in Southern Kentucky has to offer, that is how our name came about we live at The "Waters Edge". . .
​
When it comes to breeding we take careful time to match up parents that will complement one another well with build, structure, health, quality and temperament. We only feed the best quality dog food; Life's Abundance (for more information on our dog food we use click on the dog food tab). Our Frenchie's drink purified water. All puppies are well socialized from birth until they go to their new home. They are ready to leave our home at 8 weeks of age. We are very hands on with our puppies and our children play a big role in helping pre-spoil them.
​
We have sales and reservation contracts. Once deposit is placed on an upcoming litter we keep you updated every step of the way, with ultrasounds, x-rays, etc., once puppies arrive we do weekly photo shoots, videos, Facebook lives, etc., this way you can watch your puppy every step of the way until they are 8 weeks old and in your arms.
We have references, please check out our reviews tab, or visit our Facebook page under reviews. We have a wonderful Vet that we work with. All puppies are sold on a spay or neutered contract which is limited AKC (pet home). Our top priority is pet home, however we are open to breeding rights to the right home/ program.
We require our breeding name first on AKC registration.
All puppies are vet checked by our vet, puppy pack with lots of goodies, 30 day free health insurance with Trupanion, first set of vaccinations, de-wormed accordingly, and microchipped. All of our puppies go through Early Neurological Stimulation, early potty & crate training along with other training skills to bring you the best well-rounded new family member possibly. Early neurological stimulation practices offer a range of potential benefits for puppies, including enhanced neurological development, stress resilience, adaptability, and socialization skills. Our puppies come with a one year health guarantee, and a life time of support!
We offer ground transportation, hand delivery options, and we are willing to meet you to help with travel and distance. (for additional fee), we also have flight options and are happy to meet at our nearest airport, (Puppy Nanny options available upon request for an additional cost).

Frenchie’s are expensive and we devote a lot of time, energy, and funds into this amazing rare and fun breed. We do artificial insemination, C-sections, health testing, lots of vitamins for our pregnant momma's and 24/7 care to our new puppies’, the process can be very time-consuming. Raising French Bulldogs it is not an easy task, however it’s always rewarding and we truly love what we do. Our reputation as a trusted, reputable breeder is evident in every puppy that we provide.
​
Please be certain about your decision to purchase a puppy. It is very important that you research and make sure that a French bulldog is the best fit for your family. This is a long term commitment! We have some helpful information under "about the breed", tab.
