The French Bulldog of America catalogs for the Annual Specialty are full of wonderful, historical content of champions long forgotten as well as important breed standard verbiage that might surprise some who aren't aware of the original guidelines. The following content is brought to you from archives made possible by the AKC.

Coastal Elite’s Harmonious Haze, daughter of GRCH Lilac Haze Bendrix. Harmony just had her hips x-rayed at the Winter Wonderland Cluster in Perry GA yesterday at an on site OFA clinic hosted by Blue Ridge Veterinary Imaging. The bottom row with a pair of Excellent hips is for demonstration purposes only… and hip rotation can vary.

Just going to say it, but to my (untrained eye), Harmony’s hips look better than her sire, who has an OFA EXCELLENT rating.

X-Rays taken by Dr. Nathan Craddock, who described her hips as “Amazing”.

Sadly, while walking her two non-breed standard Frenchies through the show grounds to access the OFA clinic, Rebecca and her 14 year old daughter were “hazed” by “a gremlin of a small man” in a suit (handler) who loudly told them in a hostile voice “you can’t be here”, referring to her colored dogs. Later, while waiting in line, four women behind her loudly announced “your dogs are a disgrace”. One of the women also announced “I am the President of the French Bulldog Club of America”. As it turns out, this was Kathryn Brown, a former neighbor of Ms. Wickman, who will not acknowledge their former acquaintance. Ms. Brown isn’t the actual President of the actual FBDCA… just the branch of Georgia, where this show is being held. And Ms. Brown and her friends clearly didn’t care that they were openly color shaming and harassing not only an adult but a 14 year old little girl while at an AKC Sanctioned event.

Sound familiar? This happened to me and a co-owner last January while trying to get OFA evaluated for RFG BOAS on Dirty Martini where we had to evacuate the premises due to safety concerns.

But according to the spokesperson of FBDCA just quoted in this month’s issue of Vanity Fair, the FBDCA stays on their own lane.

More like hit and run, if you ask me.

BTW: Ms. Brown used to show ABKC and actually shopped for a black and tan for her daughter to show a few years back. I have the texts. So there you go, Miss Disgrace.

Pip Pip Hooray! Little Man made 2023 Top 10 ABKC French Bulldog tying his breeders, Prie and Tone Rolden for 6th place. Congratulations Team Duval Bullies, with FOUR Top Frenchies and of course, Christine for winning Top Dog, Best of Breed Frenchie today, and Best Jr. Handler (2023 and today). Christine picked Pip for me herself… Girl knows what she’s doing! Huge shoutout as well to Chloe Randall and Bracyn Hicks, who both showed a very UNRULY Pip in their Jr. Handler classes today. He wasn’t easy 😂 but these kids took it in stride and reined him in like Pros.

Feeling very grateful today. Thank you ABKC Family. Here’s to 2024!

If you are trying to solidify a certain trait – like topline – and it is one you can observe in the parents and the linebred ancestors of two related dogs, then you can be more confident that you will attain your goal. - Dr. Jarold Bell

History isn't always clean. Trust, but ALWAYS verify. By the way, you know you're doing something right when the FBDCA Club page gripes about the article written by a completely unbiased stranger who interviewed both sides...

And that, Friends, is why only 1% of this breed is represented by a group of ineffective complainers. If the FBDCA is smart, they'll reorganize, rebrand and IMPROVE, with FOCUS on their alleged mission statement, which is to provide education to the fanciers of this breed, which happens to include a whopping 99% that they're not talking to... except behind an acid keyboard.

Time to get behind that health testing initiative you've been propping up with a limp, FBDCA. The world is watching, and they know your spokesperson failed the pop quiz.

It’s here: Vanity Fair article written by Mary Pilon. Documentary to follow.

Frenchies are beloved for their pint-size adorability, but a human fight is brewing over—yes—what colors they should be.

Getting ready for our booth at ABKC Nationals in a couple of weeks. Hope to see you there!

Raising the standard placing health first. We’re planning to put Benny’s full sibling, Ch. Bug with GrCh. Pip early 2024. Both are fully OFA health tested and have great (normal) results. They are spine tested too with minimal thoracic anomalies well below the breed average. And this litter will be UAS/ADAMTS3 clear by default. Interested? Let me know. It will likely be a small litter and we’re probably going to keep most for ourselves. 😉

We believe in rewarding those who OFA health test their French Bulldogs. Five hundred off the stud service for approved OFA health tested females (hips and/or spine) on any of our CHIC Certified studs (Benny, Dirty, Cooper, Pip, or Grayson). Three live pup guarantee applies.
