Story
Introducing the Bridgerton Pups Born in foster care and already taking society by storm, we are delighted to introduce the Bridgerton litter. Six weeks old, beagle mixed, and blessed with the most glorious floppy ears, rich tan and gold markings, crisp white accents, and fashionable black detailing, these puppies arrived looking like they were dressed for a season debut. Lady Whistledown would absolutely approve. Meet FrancescaFrancesca is the social butterfly of the Bridgerton litter and she has absolutely no interest in playing it cool. She loves everyone, she loves everything, and the moment you reach down to give her pets she lights up like you have made her entire day. Much like her namesake, Francesca has a warmth and openness about her that draws people in immediately. She is the puppy who will have you saying yes before you even realize what happened.

Like her sharp and spirited namesake, there is something about this girl that just makes you want to know her better. She is soft in all the right ways and has that irresistible solid puppy weight that makes her the perfect armful. She may not be writing pamphlets about society just yet but she is absolutely making her presence known.

Lady Whistledown would absolutely approve. Meet Marcus Marcus had a bit of a dramatic start. There was a time when a mere glance in his direction was enough to send him into full theatrical protest. He has since reconsidered his position on human affection and has come around in the most charming way possible. He now welcomes your attention with the quiet confidence of a man who knows his worth. The glow up is real and Marcus is here for it.

That rich, deep chocolatey brown coat is something truly special, the kind of color that stops you mid sentence and makes you say out loud that you cannot believe how gorgeous this puppy is. He is the Duke of the litter in every way, effortlessly striking and impossible to ignore. Simon is going to turn heads wherever he goes and honestly he deserves every bit of the attention.

He is scrappy, playful, and has a particular fondness for getting into mischief with his siblings. He approaches life with the carefree confidence of someone who has never once doubted himself. He is going to need a home with a good sense of humor and ideally some space to run, because Benedict has things to do and places to be and he is not slowing down for anyone.

Lady Whistledown would absolutely approve. Meet Anthony Anthony is the oldest sibling energy of the litter in every sense of the word. He has appointed himself in charge and his siblings are simply living in his world. He plays with authority, moves with confidence, and has absolutely no problem letting the others know where they stand. He is bold, he is brave, and much like his Bridgerton counterpart, he is going to need a home that can match his energy and give him a proper outlet for all that big personality.
