At last, we have our long awaited first litter. As you may know our standard here is to breed lovely companion dogs who have many endearing ways about them. Why stop there, my wish list includes dogs of strong body and mind as well. That's a lot of dog, but I wanted one more thing and that is visual excitement and drama. On that point we exceeded our wildest dreams.

Bubbles Sold
We were gifted with what appears to be a rare blue fawn pied. It's haunting color may compel us to choose her in our breeding program. This rare color type is often worth twice as much as most Frenchies. This baby is a tiny girl with a white body and blue fawn circle or spots. Her name due to the round spots is called Bubbles. She has a blue fawn circle around her tail. Read More about Bubbles ... Sold

Next comes Pork Chop, named for his large stature. His head is big and broad, he is square and heavy and may turn out to be a great stud. He sports an unusual color combination. Pork Chop is a tri pied with red, black and white. Down his back are a series of red spots circled by black like eye liner. His face is tri color with a black full mask, red face and white blaze down the forehead. You have to see it to appreciate how gorgeous he is. Pork Chop's head is one third larger than the others.

Giggles Newest Pack Member
His sister is perhaps the most graphically satisfying for photographers. She appears well formed, but petite with a white body black around the eyes and ears and a single large circle on one side. She is growing rapidly, so petite may not always describe her. This black and white confection is currently called Giggles. Read More about Giggles ... Newest Pack Member

I'd like to take a moment to explain to prospective buyers why Frenchies are more expensive than some other breeds. First of all the stud fees are quite costly and litters are small. Artificial insemination is not predictable so the female may have to be brought to the male to attempt a live breeding. That doesn’t always occur. I made four trips for a total of a thousand miles to Cape Cod Frenchies. The first two times didn’t work. We bred her twice two days apart to insure pregnancy. That is another issue, even with a natural breeding it doesn’t always succeed.
If breeding fails the breeder must then wait six months to a year to try again. Butterfly’s breeder, Dori Vronch at Coeur D'or Bulldogs tells me that many Frenchies only have one cycle a year which doesn’t offer many opportunities in the prime years. Due to the size of their heads statistics indicate that by far most Frenchies are born by Caesarian section. C sections are harder on a dogs body than natural birth so wise breeders usually only breed any single dog twice. Cesarean surgery and after care with vaccinations for each puppy is expensive. In addition many breeders install an identification chip in the pup’s shoulders, just under the skin. Butterfly has such a device.
Finally, a hold over from fighting days makes bully breeds significantly more tolerant of pain and sensation. They are also possessive and protective of their babies. This means the mother could crush the babies accidentally or even get nervous and put them under her for protection. This can result in smothering. Consequently they must be attended to twenty four hours a day for the first week or two and vigilance is required for the first eight weeks. Life goes on hold and hours and much attention must be lavished on the babies to insure their survival!
