Today we’d like to introduce you to Whitney Emmons.
Hi Whitney, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself
I had a vision of producing 100% healthy Frenchies. I take all aspects of my studs and females into account when making a pair. Health, allergies, breathing issues, genetic disorders, structure, and temperament while staying within the “Breed Standard” Lux Frenchies also donates 10 percent of proceeds to animal rescues and shelters. We are also currently branching out and going to be making a clothing brand focused on all our dog moms and dog dads.
I am an Oklahoma Native. I was raised around a ton of animals, so my love for them started early on in life. I have bottle-fed calves, rabbits, pigs, and raccoons. When I got my first Frenchie Velveeta, I fell absolutely in love with the breed. It was not even 7 months later, and I was looking for another. I then added Versace to the family. That is how Lux Crew Started.
The one thing I noticed when looking for my Frenchies was all the scammers and poor-quality dogs. I then set out to breed healthy, show-quality French bulldogs. I do rigorous checks into any dog that I breed. Including genetic health screening, breathing and allergy issues, and the quality of the structure of the dog. I do not chase color, fads, or trends in the French Bulldog world.
I only focus on the health and quality of the dogs. I DO NOT price my dog for the color. I price my dogs for Health, Structure, and Pedigree. I do suggest you look into the French bulldog breed before buying from anyone. I do this for the love of the breed and to produce the highest quality of the breed for it to become part of your family. Getting a French Bulldog is adding another member to your family.
So, they are treated like family with us. This is the process for our program. Once puppies are born via C-section, they stay in an incubator for the first 2 or 3 weeks of their life. They get fed every 2 hours. We are with them around the clock. We do not supplement feed unless absolutely necessary. Each puppy gets weighed 2 times daily to track its development. We send off a blood sample for DNA around 1- 2 weeks of age.
At 2 weeks, we start worming and continue every 2 weeks that they are in our care. After the incubator, the puppies go into a baby crib with a sleeping area and a bathroom area. We DO NOT kennel our dogs they have free range once they hit 6 weeks, they then get the run of the house. We socialize them with our dogs. They all eat together so there is no food aggression when they come to your home.
They get their 1st set of shots at 6 weeks, and again at 8 weeks, they get Bordetella and Micro-chipped, Vet health check, and fecal exam.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
We have been blessed with a smooth road this far. We love what we do and our customers.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
As well as being a breeder. I also create content and some amazing pet photography. I strive to provide top-notch customer service in fact they are not customers they are family.
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
Dedication, patience, and persistence.
