Information on Dogs Pricing

Royal Frenchel's regular size, 22 to 28 lbs. costs $1295 to $1895 for both short hair and silkie coat. Pricing can change weekly during the growth of the puppy as different traits show up. This is true for all ranges of size of Royal Frenchels noted below as well.

Royal Frenchel's small size, 15 to 20 lbs. costs $1495 to $1895 for both the short coat and the silkie coat.

Royal Frenchel's extra small & Tea Cup Royals are available from time to time and range from $2800 to $6400! They are very rare and special dogs raised with the same quality attention as all Royal Frenchels are ... only they’re pint size!

Part of this cost is their rarity, however these little beauties require a great deal of time and attention that is dedicated to care for them from birth to 3 to 4 months old.  To assure their safety and care, they are separated from the rest of the litter and raised individually by one or two people to avoid any injury or mistreatment due to their size. 

These little fellas and gals are also socialized with other dogs that are trained to be respectful pack members who do not harass, play too rough, or bark inappropriately.  The result is a pup who is well adjusted and very well loved during their development, who will ultimately behave more appropriately with other dogs as well.

_______________________________

If you want a well-cared for, healthy dog, it has to have a certain level of care. Our costs for puppies are based on this high quality of care provided. We don't breed a large number of dogs; we breed a select, healthy few. We are not a manufacturere of puppies, but rather we are a high quality breeder, which means that we do a lot more work for every dollar we make. But we love what we do, and here is some of what we do, so that you can feel better about the dollars you spend.

This is a “real live” list of what we do on a regular basis in raising and selling a Royal Frenchel Puppy. Perhaps it will help you better appreciate the fees we charge for pupsand the healthy approach we take to raising them. Information can make a world of difference.
