Meet Ralphie — a merle Frenchie puppy with bounce in his step and a strong belief that wherever you are is exactly where he should also be. This happy, playful boy is full of personality and curiosity. He’s dog-friendly, people-loving, and approaches life with the enthusiasm of someone who thinks every day is a party and every person is invited.
Ralphie is smart and already picking up on routines quickly. He’s very food-motivated (training treat suggestions welcomed!) and gets adorably excited at mealtime — spins, hops, and joyful anticipation included. He plays well with other dogs, greets strangers with a wag, and walks with good manners while happily taking in the world around him.
He’s also a talented little athlete — nimble, quick, and fully capable of hopping onto the couch to make sure he stays close to his people. Being near his humans is high on his priority list, so expect a loyal sidekick who wants to be included in whatever you’re doing.
Ralphie does have IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease), which we are managing with a specialized diet and supplements. He’s doing well as we dial in what works best for him, and we’ll share more as we continue to learn his needs. Right now he’s settling in, learning the ropes, and soaking up lots of love while we get to know him better.
He’s still a young pup learning the rules of home life, so continued structure and positive training will help him shine. With consistency, patience, and plenty of love, this boy is going to grow into an amazing companion.
Get ready for a playful shadow, a couch buddy, and a best friend wrapped into one very cute Frenchie package — this is Ralphie.
