Our breeding program prioritizes health, temperament, and longevity. Each pairing is selected with these traits in mind. We track outcomes over time and immediately retire any breeding lines that show recurring issues. Our goal is to reduce the prevalence of known genetic disorders while maintaining a consistent and balanced temperament. Royal Frenchels were originally developed in part to meet the needs of patients and service dog programs, which placed a high demand on both physical health and emotional reliability. This intentional foundation continues to inform our breeding process today.

We’re one of the only breeder in the world that we have found who publicly shares health records—and we do so out of respect for those seeking to find a great dog and our customers who over 65%  come back for a 2nd, or 3rd or 4th Royal! Lol!  Our reporting includes all known health concerns submitted by Royal Frenchel families, tracked across more than a decade. While no dataset is ever complete, consistent patterns emerge over time—and those patterns matter. What makes this even more meaningful is that our in-house findings are strongly supported by third-party research. The extensive Farmers Insurance study, which analyzed over 140,000 policies across 246 breeds, revealed results that closely mirror our own: Royal Frenchels experience health issues at a far lower rate than most breeds. When independent data lines up with internal records, it offers the kind of credibility few breeders can claim—and we’re proud to share it with you.
