French Bulldog Walking in Durham
2008-03-18 03:49:00 I spent part of the afternoon walking Sailor and her daughter Ellie in Durham. As always, I brought my camera along, and got some great pictures (in spite of the two feet of mud on the ground). By the end of the afternoon, I was mud up to my knees, the dogs were mud up to ...
French Bulldogs at Crufts 2008
2008-03-14 13:02:00 Crufts is over for another year, and the Best of Breed winner is the simply stunning Ch. Birique Prinzessen JW - better known as “Sassi”. She was awarded this win by respected breeder/judge Dr. Christine Towner, and it is the icing on a career that has been nothing short of stunning. Sassi is the UK’s top ...

2008-02-23 16:07:00 Our friend Pat Pearce, one of the writers for our Ask the Experts column, has suffered a horrible tragedy. Two of her French Bulldogs have escaped from her fenced yard near Chandler, Oklahoma. If you’re in the area, please be on the look out, and please consider cross posting this notice. Here’s Pat’s email, and at the ...
Westminster Re-Cap - French Bulldogs, Patty Hearst and Unfair Hair Cut Adva
2008-02-12 21:54:00 Well, the judging is done, and yet again the Frenchie got overlooked for a frou frou poodle. C’est la vie. Apparently a poofy haircut counts for extra super duper bonus points. Actually, I don’t have a clue how good the poodle really is, since poodles are one of those breeds that all look startlingly similar ...
More Solo Photos & Some Experimental Video
2008-01-23 01:21:00 It amazes me sometimes how many tricks and features my lovely Mac computer has that I remain blissfully unaware of. I only discovered Boot Camp (the utility that allows me to partition my hard drive and run either Windows XP or Vista on the second partition) after watching a Tech show on TV, and I ...
Snowy Day Food Blogging
2008-01-18 16:32:00 The weather here today is horrific — blowing snow obscures everything, it’s minus -7° celcius, and expected to drop to -15° , and I have no intentions of leaving the house if I can possibly help it. Unfortunately, Solo is out of goat’s milk, so I don’t really have much choice. Sucks to ...
Thursday Thirteen - 13 Movies with French Bulldogs in Them
2008-01-17 14:32:00 I missed Thursday Thirteen last week, because of the power outages and the need to write a long-ass update on the puppies. This week, I cheated and lifted part of my movie list from French Bulldog Z. Here’s a list of 13 movies that have French Bulldogs in them. Please note that I’ve chosen movie ...

2008-01-17 07:09:00 Search terms found in my webstats – French Bull dog breaders breading a french bulldog You don’t think they were looking for recipes, do you? This one is even scarier – dog breathes heavy foams at mouth breathing heavy vomiting OK, people? If your dog is breathing heavy, foaming at the mouth and vomiting, searching on Google is not where you ...
Power Outages, Flying Puppies & Mouth Wars
2008-01-11 02:37:00 Like a lot of people in Ontario, we suffered through some crazy windstorms yesterday, resulting in a day of sporadic power outages. From about five in the morning on, our power was on and off throughout the day, causing me some major inconvenience, and not a small amount of worry over keeping my puppies warm. ...
Solo is Feeling Better? and a new video
2008-01-06 20:15:00 Well, Solo is feeling a bit better. Thanks to the advice I received from some list members, I spoke to my veterinarian, and we switched him over to Zithromax on Friday. It seems to have really worked - his check up Saturday morning confirmed his lungs are MUCH less congested, and much ‘drier’ sounding, although ...
If it weren?t for bad luck?
2008-01-03 22:57:00 I woke up this morning at six am to give Solo his morning feeding, and found him in a state of distress. He was listless, wheezing, and had milk coming out of his nose. A quick inspection indicated his chest sounded congested, and his energy level was depressed. This was a 180° change from ...
Thursday Thirteen - 13 Best Reasons to Own a French Bulldog
2008-01-03 17:04:00 I’ve taken a certain amount of grief for a list I created for frenchbulldogz.org, called ‘Top Ten Reasons to NOT Own a French Bulldog‘. The list wasn’t created to be cruel, or for pointless reasons - it was created to help stop people from buying a Frenchie without understanding what they were getting themselves into. That ...
Solo at Ten Days Old
2007-12-30 02:36:00 At ten days, Mae’s solo puppy boy (who, for now, has pretty much just been christened ‘Solo’) seems to be doing wonderfully. He eats like a piglet, wiggles non stop, and is generally a content little guy. I don’t like writing too much about him, since I’m afraid I’ll jinx him… He weighs 15.4 ounces, and is ...
A much better morning
2007-12-23 18:39:00 After a very LONG 24 hours of every two hour feedings, the little boy seems much better this morning. He’s gained almost .4 ounces, he feels ‘fuller’ in my hand, and he’s back to being active and wiggly. I plan to keep on bottle feeding him for a few more days, and I’m encouraging him ...
French Bulldogs = Restaurants (trust me on this)
2007-11-25 17:25:00 Friends ask me all the time if I miss living in Toronto. Like most things in life, my answers are somewhat ambiguous. I don’t miss paying as much for a one bedroom apartment with no yard or parking as I now pay for a 4 bedroom house with a pool on six acres. I don’t miss ...
French Bulldogs in the News
2007-09-25 20:33:00 A few random French Bulldog related news articles, including an update on the ME puppy mill Frenchies, the French Bulldog link to the Thai plane crash, and a disturbing poisoning case in CT. (more…)
The High Price of French Bulldogs - in 1909
2007-09-06 18:21:00 Note: This is a first in my re-introduction of the ‘Historical Frenchies’ series I did for the French Bullytin in the 1990’s. We often hear complaints about how outrageously expensive French Bulldogs are. “$2,500 for a dog!” people cry. “That’s insane - who would pay a price like that?”. Well, plus ça change, plus c’est la même ...

2007-08-27 10:53:00 From Itchmo: http://pressherald.mainetoday.c-om/story.php?id=129268&ac=P-Hnws http://www.wcsh6.com/news/artic-le.aspx?storyid=69286 Police authorities, the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland and the Animal Welfare Society, seized more than 200 dogs from a dog kennel in Buxton, Maine.”This is the largest seizure ever in Maine,” said Susan Britt, director of operations at the Animal Refuge League in Westbrook.
