Breeding heAlthy & functional dogs
Our Philosophy
French Bulldogs. Little clowns with big hearts and a tendency to have you wrapped around their paw in no time. Every Frenchie I have ever met has had a huge personality. They are very loyal and want to be part of everything their family does. My goal is to breed dogs that are capable of such; Frenchies that can breath well, go on hikes and play with others. Yes, they are a brachycephalic breed but this should not be an excuse for the suffering that's going on in the breed. Some people breed for an extreme look; and suddenly health only comes second. When one looks at old pictures and what the breed standard used to be like, one should question why we have changed them to the worse. My goal is to bring more health back into the breed. My dogs undergo various health tests prior to being bred. They include DNA screening as well as evaluations on Patella, Spine, Trachea, Heart, Eyes and Hips. They are Boas evaluated and have no breathing difficulties due to their healthy structure.
Our Frenchie gang has earned countless performance titles and we are actively participating in a variety of sports from Scent detection,Ratting, Agility, Sprinter and Chase Ability to Trick Dog.
Puppies are holistically raised and have their spines prelimed (xray) before going to their new home. All my dogs are fresh fed & minimally vaccinated. The puppies are weaned on to fresh (aka raw) food once old enough. As babies they listen to classical music and I diffuse (dog safe!) Essential Oils. They are well socialized with people of all ages, other dogs and are exposed to different scenarios once old enough; car rides, shopping trips, every day noises such as vacuums, hair dryer, TV, music etc.
My puppies are raised with the Puppy Culture Enrichment Program. And I pride myself in raising well rounded, confident dogs.

The sniffer dog: Akiva
A royal arrival of Autumn S ATD SDC SD-A SDO SD-GA VN IBAH
When talking about Akiva the first thing that comes to my mind is her passion for Scent detection sport. She loves Agility and other sports as well but it's very clear what her gem is. It's amazing to watch her work and she has filled my eyes with tears of pride on several occasions.
Akiva is the first French Bulldog i
Maple's mini me: Clover
Cloverfield's Paradox of Autumn SX VA SDO SD-S ATD
I had always hoped for a mini Maple puppy and Clover is exactly that. Not only does she look almost identical to her mom, they also share a lot of personality traits.
She does have her dads drive to work and is so much fun. I started her on scent at 8 weeks old and she was doing entire room searches at 6 months of age. On her
The future: Ally
Going the distance of Autumn NS SDIN
Ally is out of a very special breeding between Agility Grand Champion Dozer and our very own Clover. Two very sporty dogs came together and blessed us with some promising sport talent. Our keeper from the litter was Ally. Her brother and sister now live in the US (Arizona and Alabama) in performance homes. Can't wait to follow their journey.

My heart dog who passed shortly before his 4th Birthday. He is the reason breeding healthy dogs is my main priority. Because his breeder, like so many others, didnt care. He was the perfect example of the suffering that's going on in the breed and the aspects that are in desperate need of change.
At 8 months old he was diagnosed with severe bilateral Hip Dysplasia. By the next s

This girl is simply amazing. Not only is she absolutely stunning in appearance, she is also very smart with a stable temperament. She loves scent detection just like her mom and the judge during her first scent trial commented: 'she is amazing and will absolutely fly through the titles.'

The puppies get to spend lots of time outdoors (weather permiting of course).
Lots of outside time
Lots of outside time
It's great exposure to sounds of planes, sirens, motorcycles, kids playing etc
On more than one occasion I had mom nurse them outside while the neighbour was pressure washing or having a BBQ party. Perfect conditioning opportunities.
Lots of outside time
Walking and running over different surfaces is also extremely stimulating and beneficial. They get to explore grass, uneven surfaces, rocks, sticks and so on.
