Q. & A. with Plamena
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the breed when I brought home my first Bulldog. I believe that the Bulldog breed has the most loving temperament and human-like personality. Truly amazing dogs.
What makes your program special?
Our true to type French Bulldog puppies come from old pedigree lines and multi generations of titled dogs from around the world. We take pride in our ancestors. Our puppies are loved and socialized from their birth until the time they leave our home. They come with a health certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian. Health and genetic clearance is completed on both parents prior to breeding.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
