Lakeside Frenchies

Lakeside Frenchies breeds French bulldogs and golden retrievers in Norwood, NC, Stanly County and the Uwharrie National Forest near Charlotte. With more than ten years of experience, Paulette Helms registers her dogs with recognized clubs, conducts DNA screenings and hip and heart evaluations, and ensures each puppy receives initial vaccinations before joining its new family. Puppies are socialized from an early age and raised indoors with regular family interaction, then introduced to secure outdoor runs for gentle exercise.

The program operates from a home-based facility on an acre of farmland, where attention to nutrition and early training helps shape confident companions. Golden retrievers from Lakeside Frenchies often excel in therapy settings, reflecting the emphasis on calm temperament and versatility. Paulette also conducts follow-up check ins to support new owners with transitional care and behavior questions. Families appreciate the detailed guidance provided on feeding schedules, basic obedience and ongoing care.
