My new little girl, Charley

Sarah is the best! My family members have purchased 6 French Bulldogs from Sarah over the last 10 years. All of them have been beautiful, healthy (our oldest is turning 11) and have had the best temperaments! She responds to every text, phone call or ridiculous question I may have immediately...even years after I have purchased a dog. She is so knowledgeable about the breed...even after moving to Idaho from California...I would never buy a frenchie from anyone else. I trust her so much...and that says it all for me! Thank you so much, Sarah!

When it comes to making a purchase me and my wife take careful consideration on these three factors A)Is the establishment we wish to do business with trustworthy? B) Is what we're looking at something we really want? C)is it affordable? I can honestly say yes to A and C right off the bat but we weren't exactly sure until we we met Charlie (our new Frenchie) The moment he sat on our laps me and my wife looked at each other and knew he was the one. Thank you Sarah for you patience, flexibility and overall knowledge. Without it me and my wife wouldn't be sitting with our little Charlie right now writing this review smiling and knowing we made the right choice Thank you! Matt, Dianna and Charlie Lee :)

As the owner of a great French bulldog who lived to be 16, I was very picky about choosing a breeder for two new puppies. After extensive research, I chose Sarah of Distinctive Bulldogs and could not be more pleased. Her decades of experience of all things Frenchie is immediately apparent, as she is an extremely knowledgeable, sensible and compassionate breeder who takes no shortcuts to produce healthy and happy dogs. Sarah is passionate in her views about Frenchie training and healthcare, and has been readily available for phone advice on topics such as vaccinations, potty training and spaying. She even goes above and beyond: On the day I was supposed to pick up my pups, my car broke down and I was heartbroken. The next morning Sarah drove two hours to deliver my precious frog dogs to my door - - and she's been there for me ever since!

Love this guy

You can stop your search for a reputable FB breeder - this is the breeder you want. Sarah is no novice, and she's certainly not peddling or pushing puppies to recoup costs. She sent us photos and emailed updates about our little guy until he was old enough to come home with us. Furthermore - Sarah has been available to answer any questions we've had since bringing the pup home, and genuinely wants to know how the puppy is doing. If you're serious about adding a FB puppy to your family, you'd be hard pressed to find somewhere better than here. These are healthy, nice-tempered, and ridiculously good-looking puppies. Solid breeder with solid dogs.

Sarah was amazing. You can tell she was very caring for her babies. I am glad I waited and searched around for her. She was very thorough about how she bred, cares, and manages the puppies. Upon meeting the puppies, there was no rush and no pressure. She allowed for me to make a good decision and she's also honest in finding these puppies a home. When we left she even sent us off with a care package and guideline in taking care of our new baby! She never hesitated answering any questions about progression and care as well as any legal info such as shots/immunization/ and Certified. Can't wait to get my next frog dog when the time is right!!

After some thorough research in finding the right Frenchie breeder, I was extremely pleased and lucky to come across Sarah. She was extremely knowledgeable about the breed and you can tell she has a passion for breeding and raising quality pups. This was especially important to me, since I have heard read about terrible stories about irresponsible breeders. My son and I couldn't be more happier with Max! If you're serious about having a Frenchie being a part of your family, give Sarah a call, you'll be making the right choice. Here's a picture of Max!

Besties!

SARAH! The best!! My husband and I have been imagining what our future little Frenchie would look like since before we were engaged. When it came time to look, I called everyone in socal. When I came across Sarah's page, she didn't have any pups available. HOWEVER she had the most informative page about what the properly bred Frenchie would look like which showed that she really cared about our breed. I kept her in mind. When it got closer to buying time- Sarah had fawn pups!!! We went to just to indulge in the puppy love but we really "wanted" a cream... until we met Tyson! We picked him and sent off our deposit the next day. From the moment we met Sarah we trusted her, and knew we wanted to buy from her. We didn't want to leave her house!!! She had pups, her babies Moso and Chula running around, and we got to meet Dad to Tyson- Rio! We hung out for about an hour and a half talking Frenchies. She is real, down to earth, and knows what she is doing. PLUS she has put up with all of my texts and freak outs over normal puppy business for weeks now!!!! Always replies. BUY A DISTINCTIVE FRENCH BULLDOG from Sarah, you can trust her!

Distinctive French Bulldogs is THE BEST. The first time I called Sarah was only to inquire about a Frenchie. She spent 45 minutes on the phone with me answering all of my questions and giving me detailed information on the breed. At the end of the call, she told me to take some to think. She wanted me to decide on if this was the right breed for our family. That is just one example of not only how knowledgeable she is, but also how much she cares about her pups. We have purchased 2 healthy, beautiful, well-tempered frog dogs from Distinctive French Bulldogs/Sarah. Her service goes far beyond the purchase date. In the beginning we called her weekly (probably drove her crazy). She always responded and still follows up on occasion to check in on the boys. We are fortunate to live close enough to take advantage of Sarah's lifetime boarding. Yes, you read that right: she offers lifetime boarding for any of her pups! It's great knowing that they are in a safe, loving environment while we are away. It really makes trips stress-free. We can't speak highly enough about Sarah and how awesome it is to own (not one, but two) Distinctive French Bulldogs.

We are so thankful that we found Distinctive French Bulldogs and our sweet puppy. We love her to pieces and she is so sweet and friendly. Thank you Sarah!

She's wondering what fun thing we're going to do next.

I researched other nearby breeders, but Sarah was the one who was the most responsive. We had an English Bulldog before, but never a Frenchie, so I had questions. She took the time to describe how to care for a Frenchie pup and was very reassuring. We picked out our beautiful girl when she was four weeks old. The time that we had to wait before picking her up passed more quickly because Sarah sent pictures and videos every week. When we finally got to pick up our newest family member, Sarah spent time telling us what to expect and how to take care of her. She also gave us a Puppy Package with treats and toys. We've had our precious pup for four months now, so I'm not feeling as much like a newbie, but I texted Sarah with a question just the other day. She replied quickly. I feel like she genuinely cares for her dogs.

My perfect puppy from Distinctive French Bulldogs.

I know this is a long review - so for those who don't have time to read the whole thing here is the bottom line: I had a great experience with Distinctive French Bulldogs and highly recommend them! I spent months trying to sort through the dozens and dozens of SD area French Bulldog breeders for one who met my requirements. I wanted a someone who was experienced, local, really cared for the dogs and socialized the pups in a home environment. The breed is popular, and there are many businesses who represent themselves as breeders, but are actually brokers selling puppies as commodities. But that wasn't what I wanted. I found Distinctive French Bulldogs listed on the AKC Marketplace, and decided to check them out. I contacted the owner Sarah and found her to be sincere. She never once delivered a sales pitch; on the contrary she emphasized several times not to rush into investing in a puppy unless the time was right for me. She does not "discount" her dogs and I'm more than ok with it because these aren't shoes she is providing; they are living creatures and bringing one into your home should not be undertaken lightly. She was totally upfront about her practices and policies, so I decided to move forward and met with her. Not only where her puppies gorgeous, but she obviously cares a great deal for the breed and all of her dogs. It only took a few minutes for me to know I'd found the right breeder. I picked up my puppy a few weeks later and have been delighted with him. Sarah has made herself available at a moments notice for any questions or concerns I've had. A day or so my pup came home I had "new mom" jitters and worried about he was adjusting. I texted Sarah and she walked me through steps to help him settle in, and at one point even offering to drive an hour to bring one of his litter mates over for a visit! (As it turns out my pup adjusted fine) I want to emphasize at this point the sale was complete, and yet she was still willing to drop everything to make sure both me and my pup were taken care of. I think this shows a lot about how dedicated she is to the wellbeing of her puppies and customers. I took my puppy to Vet for his initial full exam and was told he was nice and healthy. The Vet went over the records that Sarah provided and seemed impressed with the care she had given the pup, saying it was both thorough and cautious.   With all of this I am more pleased than ever that I found Distinctive French Bulldogs and would definitely recommend them to anyone who is SERIOUS about getting a healthy well adjusted puppy.

Not only was he just gorgeous, but he was a loving, gentle and smart dog to raise our three boys with. Our newest addition, Maverick, is just three months old but we can tell he too will be an amazing addition to our family. With big shoes to fill, he has already captured all of our hearts. He is one smart doggie too. He already rings a bell to be let out to go potty, and he responds well to my commands. Carol knows her stuff and as the previous reviewer explains, she does everything right. We met both of Maverick's parents and Carol presented us on pick-up day with a blanket she had made with the scent of each of Maverick's siblings, some toys, shampoo, a collar and a lovely binder with information on both parents. Losing Bentley was traumatic, but Carol helped me immensely by sharing photos of her newest litter on a regular basis. I also like that she is not a puppy mill and focuses on breeding high quality puppies just a few times per year. Trust me, you can't go wrong with Carol!

He is completely amazing: happy, loving, playful and so intuitive. He is also very handsome! Working with Carol was a breeze, from start to finish.

If you're looking for a golden pup then look no further. Worth the wait, if you have to. You won't be sorry!

When I asked to see the mothers of the puppies it was a clutch your pearls situation and she said in all my 15 years nobody has asked to see the mothers. We go into a bedroom or 3 pin and dogs are everywhere and it smells like squalor. You cannot trust she know what dogs she has puppies, old dogs and or who is the lineage as she doesn't know herself. Legit puppy mil and I lost my earnest money for a deposit. She knows how to talk the talk on the phone and by then she's taken your money by Zelle and no recourse. We couldn't even attempt to get an older dog to save from her mill but it was tainted. I don't know how the SPCA hasn't busted her. This is exactly what you shouldn't do if you love this breed. Listen to me please! This is from 2025. She looks as these puppies as dollar signs and was more focusing on telling us her legal problems with housing and house each litter gets her 50$K. She's An absolute nightmare and a serious ethical wrong breeder.

They were so incredibly helpful with our decision to get another vizsla, and the selection of the right pup for us. They take impeccable care of the puppies and are so obviously passionate about everything vizsla. It's infectious! They are doing this out of love and only have a couple of litters a year. Which means, if you want one of their puppies, you have to act fast. It looks like they are taking deposits on the spring litter right now. I know from our experience that the puppies went really quickly and there is a good reason for this. I would recommend this breeder to anyone looking for a vizsla. Look no further. Brody is fabulous...in perfect condition and he has the best temperament. He's great with other dogs and all people, including kids. He is just a hearty, healthy guy who loves life. Seems all of their puppies have these same qualities which says a lot. Also, they run the Socal Vizsla Rescue organization at www.socalvizslarescue.org. Unfortunately (or fortunately) there are a lot more people willing to rescue than there are dogs available, but it is a great organization and it just speaks to the vizsla commitment by these ladies.

RDR takes wonderful care of their doggies and are extremely passionate about the Vizsla breed. RDR has so many suggestions and ideas to help make the transition into dog owners so easy and helpful, always available with a text message for any concerns or questions you may have with your new pup! This isn't some run of the mill puppy factory, this is one of the most caring and loving families I've had the pleasure to meet. We couldn't' be more happier. Thank you RDR!
