Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Michael West. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Michael, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Getting that first client is always an exciting milestone. Can you talk to us about how you got your first customer who wasn’t a friend, family, or acquaintance?
We received our first client by walking around different neighbourhoods passing out flyers . The flyers had our information and puppy pictures.. We love to put our feet on the ground and explore different opportunities to build our brand ad meet new people.
Michael, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
French West Frenchies specializes in Exotic and Standard French Bulldogs, offering everything from stunning chocolates, lilacs, blues, platinums, and fluffy carriers to classic, traditional beauties. But beyond color, the brand is known for something far more important: health and ethics.
Every parent dog is fully health- and genetics-tested, and the program operates under full USDA licensure — a status very few breeders nationwide achieve.
From the first day a litter arrives, Michael and Debra are hands-on, ensuring each puppy receives the socialization, structure support, and loving care essential for long-term success.
Clients receive:
• Transparent communication
• Weekly updates, photos, and videos
• Nationwide delivery options
• Financing solutions
• Lifetime breeder support
It’s a concierge-level experience — one you rarely find in the breeding world.
The French Bulldog industry is booming, but with growth comes challenges: scams, untested bloodlines, unhealthy puppies, and breeders who prioritize profit over ethics.
French West Frenchies stands firmly against all of this.
“We created a program families could trust,” Debra says. “People deserve honesty. They deserve accurate information. They deserve a healthy puppy raised the right way.”
Through full transparency, documented health testing, and a true commitment to education, Michael and Debra have built a brand that removes the fear, confusion, and guesswork that many buyers face.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
One moment that truly reflects the resilience and dedication behind French West Frenchies was the day Michael flew from Atlanta to Canada and then straight to Philadelphia—all within the same day. He personally delivered a puppy to a family in Canada, ensuring the process remained smooth and affordable despite the challenges of U.S.–to–Canada currency conversion. Immediately afterward, he caught a flight to Philadelphia to make it in time for his daughter’s gender reveal party, celebrating the upcoming arrival of his granddaughter.
It was a day defined by commitment: commitment to family, commitment to clients, and commitment to doing things the right way even when the schedule is demanding. That balance of responsibility, compassion, and perseverance is a core part of what defines French West Frenchies.
Any thoughts, advice, or strategies you can share for fostering brand loyalty?
Our clients are truly a part of French West Family. We check on p the pups birthdays and request updated pictures periodically.. We also stay engaged on social media sharing in family moments and celebrations.
