Terrific! A+! 5 Stars! 10/10!
We had a terrific experience from start to finish with Tom Kings and couldn’t be more grateful to have found them and been blessed with our new puppy! From the moment I sent in an inquiry about potentially adopting a Frenchie, all the members of the TK team were VERY communicative, explained everything thoroughly, answered all of my questions throughout the whole process, and ensured that we felt well informed, comfortable and secure in adopting our puppy and investing a not insignificant amount of money into their “product”. This was an EXTREMELY welcomed change of pace from the bottomless pit of scammers and puppy-mill breeders who have no ethics or morals, let alone any regard for the health and safety of the dogs. We are truly SO thankful to have found Tom Kings Kennel!!
We did have one slight hiccup about a month before we were set to receive our Frenchie here in the states in that unfortunately she had broken her leg during playtime with her siblings. However, within 24 hours of the incident, they had gotten her to the vet/surgeon, had the injury operated on to set and fix the bone, contacted us with all the details including pictures, before and after x-rays, a full report from the attending vet, a discharge plan and healing timeline, and a full detailed plan for her care and considerations for when we received her in the US. Obviously we were very sorry to hear about her accident and in all honesty somewhat worried about her prognosis and how it might affect her overall and long term health along with any associated additional costs. They were extremely understanding of our position and extra patient while we took time to consider the implications of her injury and to consult our personal vet on their opinion of how to best move forward and things to consider. We later spoke with the TK team to explain our thoughts and concerns about the situation and discussed how to best address things like potential additional expenses we might incur as a result of her injury (that we wouldn’t have if not for the accident). They were very receptive and understanding and quickly worked to come up with a solution that everyone could be happy with to ensure we felt confident and comfortable moving forward. We could NOT have asked for a better experience during the remainder of the waiting time, the healing process and ultimately our pickup from JFK.
From start to finish it was extremely apparent that everyone in the TK team puts an incredible amount of time, effort, energy, care and attention in not only the dogs themselves but the customer experience as well that is nothing short of impressive. I can’t say enough good things about the company and team as a whole and would recommend them to anyone and everyone I know who is in the market and looking to adopt a quality, purebred Frenchie puppy!

Dear Xavier,
We’re beyond happy that your experience with TomKings felt transparent, caring, and trustworthy! We know how overwhelming and emotional the search for a furry family member can be, especially in a world full of scams. It’s an honor to be a source of comfort and confidence in such a big decision!
We also appreciate how openly you shared your full journey, including the unexpected moments. Life with puppies, even before they arrive, can sometimes bring surprises. We’re grateful for the trust and communication that allowed us to work through everything together with care and mutual understanding. We always strive to approach every situation with transparency and heart, and it’s wonderful to know that this came through for you.
Your kind words about the dedication of our team and the love we pour into both our puppies and their families mean the world to us. We feel so lucky to have amazing families like yours in the TomKings community!
Wishing you and your sweet little girl a lifetime full of joy, cuddles, and Frenchie silliness!
Warm regards,
Lilla

Trustworthy and caring staff
I was never a fan of frenchies and was definitely NEVER going to have one in our family. Fast forward a bit, and two frenchies later, I can’t stay off the Tomkings website staring at all the adorable squishy pup and junior faces.
I was leery of buying an frenchie online because I was afraid to fall in love and be crushed by scammers. It seemed too good to be true. The price was comparable to buying a frenchie in the US, which only added to my reservations. My husband, even less optimistic than me, had consistent phone calls with the Tomkings staff and they never made him feel silly for any of his concerns or questions. The videos on how the pups travel in flight made me feel like our frenchie would be taken care of, and arrive to us healthy. Our experience adopting from Tomkings was comforting and I know it’s just a matter of time before we meet our next Tomkings fur baby.
Even after adopting from them, they are always happy to answer any questions and I just couldn’t be more in love with frenchies or more thankful that we adopted through Tomkings.

Dear Megan,
Thank you so much for your beautiful review! It truly warmed our hearts! We love hearing stories like yours, where someone goes from 'never having a Frenchie' to being completely in love with not just one, but two!! These little squishy faces have a way of changing minds and stealing hearts!
We know that welcoming a new furry family member is a big decision. That’s exactly why being fully transparent and supportive throughout the entire journey is so important to us. It means the world that you and your husband felt heard, informed, and comfortable every step of the way.
And if one day you feel there’s room in your heart for another little pup, just let us know! We’d be honored to be part of your growing Frenchie family again!
Warm regards,
Lilla

Our Perfect Experience with TomKings
We had been following TomKings on Instagram for a long time and had always wanted a second French Bulldog. We finally decided to take the plunge, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. We loved everything about TomKings. They were incredibly helpful and attentive throughout the entire process. We would 100% recommend them and will absolutely be getting our next puppy from them!

4 Time Buyer from TKK!
I’ve purchased 4 Frenchie’s from TKK over the past few years. Like many folks I was initially concerned about purchasing a pet from outside the US with all the scams we all hear about. After my first experience I was convinced I wouldn’t purchase from any other breeder due to Quality, Customer Service and they have the best looking Frenchie’s I’ve ever seen. And this is constantly confirmed whenever I have the boys out in public! One of the things I valued most was the frequency of communication which included emails, photos & videos right up until the date my little guys arrived! Having purchased before and after the 6 month old requirement I do like the change given it’s in the best interest of the puppies. But buying an older pup does come with some challenges but the benefits, in my opinion, outweigh the challenges namely the pups are healthier and don’t cry all night. I also noticed that someone mentioned “testicles not dropping” and “potting training.” Frenchie’s are a very confident and stubborn breed and I’m sure this plays a role in the ability to train them. Once our boys get settled into their new environment we then have them formally trained and this seems to work for all of us! I have also found that they are paper trained and even while playing inside the house they will go over and relieve themselves on the paper! Regarding the testicles, I was notified right away and we monitored the issue as the delivery date was approaching. After being given the option of choosing another pup, I couldn’t imagine not getting the one I originally selected, we made the decision to neuter the pup for health reason which TKK paid to have done! Lastly, on 2 of the 4 boys, we had the nasal and tonsils surgery done to improve their breathing and it’s been a game changer so I’d strongly recommend having your vet evaluate your pup for this procedure! But to be balanced, I’m not a fan of having to coordinate the delivery of my pup with other parents. This caused some delays and creates the uncomfortable situation of having to collect money from other parents for custom fees! That said, I couldn’t be happier with TKK and my boys and would highly recommend them as a breeder based on my wonderful experience!

Dear Clarence,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience as a four-time TomKings parent! It truly means the world to us! We’re incredibly grateful for your continued trust and loyalty, and honored that you’ve chosen our Family again.
Your thoughts on training and behavior are especially meaningful. It’s a top priority for us that our puppies arrive well-adjusted, confident, and ready to bond with their new Families. Hearing how well your boys have adapted and responded to training is not only rewarding for us, but also encouraging for future TomKings parents. Your point about balancing structure and patience with this strong-willed breed is so true and so valuable.
Thank you for pointing out both the joys and the occasional challenges! It helps us grow and make our families even happier!
Thanks again for your continued trust and kind words. Please give all your boys a cuddle from the entire TomKings team!
Warm regards,
Lilla

I'm writing to express our profound…
I'm writing to express our profound gratitude for the exceptional experience we had purchasing Theros from you. From the initial contact to the finalization of the sale, every member of your team was incredibly helpful and professional, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. We were consistently impressed by your attentiveness, responsiveness, and genuine care in ensuring a smooth transition for Theros into our family.
Now, as we're preparing to welcome a second dog into our lives, we've been in touch with Vivian, and her assistance has been invaluable. Her dedication to understanding our needs and finding the perfect match for our family is truly commendable. She's gone above and beyond to ensure that our next puppy will be a wonderful addition to our home.
Finding TomKings has been a blessing. We are incredibly grateful for the quality of your puppies and the exceptional level of customer service you provide. We highly recommend your services to anyone looking to add a cherished companion to their family. Thank you again for everything.
