Blog entry updated with show results 2-13-2012. Today may be the Super Bowl for foot­ball fans, but the real action is next week: the West­min­ster Ken­nel Club Dog Show! Start­ing early Mon­day morn­ing, breed cham­pi­ons from the Hound, Toy, Non-Sporting, and Herd­ing Groups go in the ring, com­pet­ing head-to-head for the cov­eted Best of Breed […]

Today Ghost turns two and in the past two weeks, Ghost has raked in the points at local shows. He won a total of four points at the Octo­ber Bel­ton, Texas shows, then this week­end he snabbed his first major in Austin for another 3 points! Quite the birth­day treat, a few days early, for […]

Accord­ing to this 1962 Maid­en­form ad, what it takes to win big in the show ring is a Chan­sonette bra! (Or maybe just the chutz­pah to walk in the ring wear­ing only a sequined skirt and a stole?) This ad is from an iconic series of 50s and 60s Maid­en­form ads, fea­tur­ing women who felt […]

What Lucy started, Cocoa has taken for­ward and knocked out of the ball­park. Today our home-grown girl, Ch. Fleur­delys Choco­late Con­fetti, joins the grow­ing ros­ter of French Bull­dogs listed in the French Bull Dog Club of America’s Reg­istry of Merit. Get­ting into this reg­istry takes years of work, both for the owner and the dog. There’s […]

We need to bring every­one up to speed on show wins lately, which means brag­ging about the youngest in the Ebul­lient! crew: Ghost (Ebul­lient! Daunt­less Spirit) and Mandie-Sue (Ebul­lient! Suma­tra Mand­heling Dark). Each did back-to-back Sat­ur­day and Sun­day wins. Ghost one show week­end, Mandie the next. It’s really weird how they almost mir­rored each other […]

A smidgen of show news: our boy Ghost walked into the ring this past Sat­ur­day at the San Mar­cos shows and walked out with a pur­ple Win­ners rib­bon and a point! Mandie-Sue almost joined him, but had to set­tle for a Reserve rib­bon. So close! Many thanks to judge David Alexan­der for select­ing these two […]

If you’re a dog per­son, you are prob­a­bly look­ing for­ward to THE show next week: West­min­ster! It’s that time of year again, and if you are lucky enough to be in New York, you can expe­ri­ence twice the Frenchie fun with a warm up at the FBDCA Inde­pen­dent French Bull­dog spe­cialty the Sat­ur­day before Westminster. […]

Aren’t Frenchies already spe­cial enough? A spe­cialty dog show is a show where 100 per­cent of your (and […]

Look no fur­ther. Well.…maybe one more click. The French Bull­dog Res­cue Net­work has set up a spe­cial Face­book page where peo­ple are post­ing real-time results, news, and pho­tos of what’s going on in Wis­con­sin this week. Lots of win­ners have already been announced! Fri­day is the BIG day to see who wins the cov­eted BOB […]

All the top Frenchies, nation­ally and inter­na­tion­ally, con­verge once a year to com­pete for the ulti­mate prize: Best in Show Spe­cialty, adding a cov­eted BISS to the front of their name.
