Canine Cryopreservation: Preserving Frenchie Genetics for the Future

Welcome to another exciting episode of the Bully Girl Magazine Podcast! Today, we’re thrilled to welcome back Rebecca Escobar, co-owner of Frenchieverse LLC and one of New Mexico’s top French Bulldog breeders. With her boundless energy and expertise, Rebecca has become a mentor, educator, and advocate for responsible breeding practices. From whelping in cars to pioneering cryopreservation techniques, Rebecca’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

The Frenchieverse Story

Rebecca’s passion for French Bulldogs began years ago and has since evolved into a multifaceted operation, encompassing breeding, whelping services, and education through Master Breeder Academy. Frenchieverse LLC focuses on producing healthy, well-socialized puppies while offering lifelong mentorship to their owners. “I always say I’m their first and forever guardian,” Rebecca shares.

The Art of Whelping

For Rebecca, whelping is a full-time labor of love. With 11 puppies from two litters currently under her care, she knows the importance of cleanliness, nutrition, and tender loving care.

“Keeping a clean environment is crucial,” Rebecca emphasizes. “And moms need excellent nutrition to recover from C-sections and nurse their puppies effectively.” Her approach involves constant vigilance, detailed care routines, and early socialization to ensure each puppy thrives.

Cryopreservation: The Future of Breeding

One of the most fascinating aspects of Rebecca’s work is her role in teaching cryopreservation at Master Breeder Academy. This cutting-edge technique allows breeders to freeze semen for up to 30 years, preserving valuable bloodlines for future generations. “It’s a game-changer,” Rebecca says, “especially for maintaining genetic diversity in the breed.”

Puppy Yoga: A Unique Wellness Initiative

Rebecca’s commitment to wellness extends beyond the Frenchieverse puppies. She’s brought her love for yoga into the mix, hosting “puppy yoga” sessions that combine relaxation with the joy of interacting with playful pups. “Dogs are medicine for the soul,” Rebecca says, and her classes have been a hit with participants.

The Importance of Mentorship

Rebecca mentors over 70 individuals, from first-time pet owners to experienced breeders. Her motto, “Educate, don’t hate,” reflects her belief in fostering a supportive community.

“Even if it’s a small question like ‘My dog had a weird poop,’ I’m here to help,” she laughs. Rebecca’s guidance ensures her Frenchie families feel confident and supported throughout their journey.

Training for Special Needs

One of Rebecca’s recent projects involves training a Frenchie puppy for a family whose daughter is on the autism spectrum. By acclimating the puppy to sensory stimuli, Rebecca is ensuring a smooth transition into its new home. “It’s all about going the extra mile,” she says, “and making every puppy a perfect fit for its family.”

Challenges and Triumphs

Breeding French Bulldogs isn’t without its challenges. From late-night whelping sessions to unexpected car births, Rebecca has seen it all. “One of our puppies was born in the backseat of our car!” she recalls. Yet, these moments only fuel her passion and dedication to the breed.

Upcoming Projects

Rebecca has plenty on the horizon. In addition to her whelping classes and mentorship programs, she’s preparing for a new litter with her prized sire, Zeus. She’s also expanding Canineverse, offering mobile health and wellness services to clients in their own homes.

Advice for Aspiring Breeders

For those considering breeding, Rebecca emphasizes the importance of education and preparedness. “Take courses, find a mentor, and always be ready for the unexpected,” she advises. Her guidance is invaluable for anyone looking to enter the world of Frenchie breeding.

Rebecca’s Bond with Her Puppies

Rebecca’s connection with her puppies doesn’t end when they leave for their new homes. She loves receiving updates and photos from her fur families, and many return for a second (or third) puppy. “Frenchies are like potato chips—you can’t have just one!” she jokes.

Conclusion

Rebecca Escobar’s dedication to French Bulldogs goes far beyond breeding. Through her work with Frenchieverse, Canineverse, and Master Breeder Academy, she’s setting a standard of excellence and compassion in the industry. Whether you’re a Frenchie enthusiast or an aspiring breeder, Rebecca’s story is an inspiration.
