The Royal Story
A New Breed of Joy, The Royal Frenchel’s Heart and Heritage
From My Heart: Crafting the Perfect Companion
Hello, I’m Anahata Graceland, fondly called “Rare,” the creator of the Royal Frenchel Bulldog. For 54 years, I’ve been a breeder, raising French Bulldogs and Boxers with love and expertise. But a profound moment inspired me to create something extraordinary—a breed that meets the soulful, modern needs of today’s world in ways we couldn’t have imagined before.



Just as technology has transformed our lives—leaping from the simplicity of ancient tools to the smartphones and AI that empower us today—dogs have evolved alongside us. Thousands of years ago, dogs were larger, tougher, bred for survival tasks like guarding and hunting in a rugged world. As civilizations grew, dogs adapted to new roles: ratters kept homes pest-free, hunters tracked game, and lap dogs warmed hearts. Each era shaped breeds to fit its demands. And Royalty began to create their unique breeds. Now, in our fast-paced, connected age, we crave companions who dispel loneliness, fit seamlessly into our lives, and bring joy without disruption. Dogs that can travel with ease and behave stunningly in daily life situations. Enter the Royal Frenchel—a revolutionary breed designed for today’s hearts and homes.



The spark for Royal Frenchels came when my daughter, Sachi, faced cancer and needed a service dog who could navigate medical environments without the fragility of traditional French Bulldogs. French Bulldogs, with their short snouts and delicate frames, risked injury or overheating in hospitals. I couldn’t bear the thought of a large service dog with hip issues or a short lifespan adding to our burdens. Standing between my living room and kitchen, promising Sachi the perfect companion, I saw a vision: a mental blueprint, like a child’s handwriting practice sheet, detailing a blend of breeds—primarily French Bulldog and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. It was the culmination of a childhood dream, sparked at age five, to “make my own special dog.” Decades of breeding expertise and connections with top breeders across the U.S. and Europe made it possible. Royal Frenchels were born. Our customers say it best: the word they use, again and again, is “perfect.” Royal Frenchels are the ideal companions for today’s world. They don’t just fit into your life—they enhance it. High-powered professionals bring them to work, their calm presence easing stress. Families cherish their gentle, non-chewing, non-barking nature, perfect for busy households. They stay close, rarely running off, because their deepest desire is to be with you. Whether you’re a city dweller or a globetrotter, their four size options (Regular to Super Micro) and soulful adaptability make them the ultimate bystander, offering kind support with every step. As one family put it, “My Royal Frenchel flows with me, making every day happier.”
An immediate hit!
From their debut as exceptional service dogs in Seattle hospitals, where doctors, nurses, and patients fell in love, Royal Frenchels have spread across the U.S., Canada, England, France, and Italy. They’re not just dogs—they’re a movement, meeting needs we didn’t know we had, just as today’s technology does.

Join our global Royal Frenchel Family and discover the perfect companion for your modern life!



My own Royal Frenchel, Mr. White, has been my companion for over 16 years, teaching me the depth of love and loyalty this breed offers. His presence inspired me to create the Mr. White AI Buddy, a remarkable resource to empower dog lovers and families with tools, tips, and community for a joyful life with their pets. 

Lots of Royal love, Anahata Graceland

Anahata’s Family of Royal Frenchels
I have 4 Royals that make up my immediate Royal Family. I’ll introduce them to you.
1
Eddie, my service dog, alerts me to seizures, freeing me from constant medication. His alerts give me time to take meds and stay safe. A loyal companion, he brings calm and joy to my life.
2
Mr. White, our lovable goof, failed seizure alert training by signaling too late but won our hearts. He’s Eddie’s best pal, and their bond fills our home with warmth.
3
Jimmy, a Micro Mini Royal Frenchel, is a true star. His vibrant energy lights up our home, making every moment with him a joyful adventure.
4
Sugar, my 6.8-pound dynamo, is a hilarious Micro Mini Royal Frenchel. Her holiday talking video and daily antics keep me laughing, making her the heart of our family.
The Ideal Canine Companion
Royal Frenchels are fun, highly intuitive, intelligent, loving and playful dogs. They have changed many peoples’ lives for the better, including my own. I am no longer stuck up thinking Frenchie’s are somehow better. When you think about it, why would you get a dog that has so many health issues? Even the best bred Frenchie’s have health issues while a Royal Frenchel will live at least twice as long and hardly ever have to go to the vet.  Also, they are far easier to train! That makes my life easier as a breeder and their personalities are to die for! So, I finally gave it up for my Royals years ago sticking with a dog that is so intuitive, not pushy, but deeply attentive to people and their needs. They don’t bark a lot, chew much or do anything really that makes them difficult dogs. Royal Frenchels became our dream dog come true as they were for those other families that had a Royal Frenchel. Who wouldn’t choose a dog that has great health, a much longer life expectancy and one who is far easier to train and is a pure joy to live with? The answer is easy – get a Royal!
