About Kristen
We are Kristen and Barrett Martin, and we have been residing in Northern Michigan since 2015. Our home sits on 68 acres of beautiful wooded land in northern Michigan, providing plenty of space for our dogs to run and play. As lifelong animal enthusiasts, both of us have been involved in the horse and dog world since our early childhood, and our passion for these animals remains as strong as ever.
What makes Kristen’s program special
We take a hands-on approach to raising our puppies, as they are born and raised in our homes alongside us. This allows them to have a more well-rounded upbringing, as we expose them to new experiences as they grow. By the time they are ready to go to their new homes, they are confident and well-adjusted puppies. All our French Bulldogs adhere to the breed standard.
We take great pride in raising our puppies in a loving home environment. From the moment they are born, they receive constant care and attention, ensuring they are well-socialized and ready to join their new families. We go above and beyond by even sleeping with our moms and babies for the first four weeks, cherishing every moment. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Scent introduction, Daily handling, Socialized with children, Surface & tactile stimulation, Car rides, Various sounds, Early socialization, Noise desensitization, Human Interactions , Puppy Manners, Potty pads,, Puppy Culture , "No" Biting or Chewing, and Potty Training.
All of our puppies receive the proper vaccinations at six and eight weeks. They also received a full vet check up prior to going home with a certificate from our vet stating that they are in good health happy and ready for their new family.
We send our puppies home with Blanket with mom & littermates’ scent, Registration, Vet records, Food & treats, Toys, Puppy starter kit, and Initial potty training.
