Where Families come Together

Whelping Services

The first few weeks of a pups life are critical and it is a 24hr commitment. I know that some people either do not have enough experience or just do not have the time due to work or family commitments. 

​We at Bartelt Breeders have extensive experience in rearing puppies particularly French Bulldogs which are one of the more challenging breeds to rear even when everything runs smoothly.

We offer a home whelping service where you can feel comfortable knowing that your pups and Mum will be loved & cared for in a warm, comfortable and safe home environment. W have a contract for both partys protection, As part of this service, your Mum and Pups will receive the very best care including:

​

  • 24 hour care of both Mum and/or puppies

  • Milk substitute if the mother doesn’t have milk or the puppy is failing to latch

  • Designated warm and clean area in our home, separate from other rooms 

  • Video survailance & security measures in place

  • Hygienic fully wipeable whelping box

  • Daily fresh bedding for Mum & Pups
