Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
My first-time introduction to the French Bulldog breed was in 1992. This was a rare breed at that time. I watched a little impish creature running in a backyard coursing in circle 8's who stopped to bow at my feet with the famous "playbow". I learned later that this is a typical Frenchie characteristic. This adorable little creature home went home with me. Her life was short. However, that brief encounter with a French Bulldog led to a personal L'Affair du Coeur with the breed of French bulldogs. By 1994, I had become a hobbyist learning to train and show my Fancibuls. The first Fancibul litter was born in November 1994. My keeper, Ch Here Tis' Up 'n Adam's Match, won a 5 pt. major at 6 months 1 week of age over championed bullies with my very awkward attempt at handling him in AKC conformation competition. I was "hooked" by the excitement of showing and caring for Frenchie puppies, attending AKC dog shows, and researching the breed's beginning, perusing pedigrees, and the challenge of giving loving and special care which a French bulldog requires to be healthy and happy, and the complexities of genetics and planned breedings that are successful.
What makes your program special?
Fancibuls have evolved into a bloodline that has champions in many countries of the world and also a family of dogs that has increased one-third in longevity since the first litter of 1994 when parents and grandparents of my first 4 Frenchies lived to be 9 l/2 to 10 1/2 years of age. I have been a member of the French Bull Dog Club of America since 1996. This national breed club has the distinction of being the first among AKC-sanctioned national breed clubs. I have given time to serve as Breeder Referral person; Chair Person for the Breeder's Education Committee; an associate member of the Dallas/Fort Worth French Bulldog Club (a regional club for fanciers); I received Breeder of Distinction Award from the French Bull Dog Club of America; in 2010; and am an AKC Breeder of Merit. I am in compliance with the Code of Ethics of the French Bull Dog Club of America.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
