I'm Marie B., the breeder behind Marie Burris located in Edmund, SC. I'm new to Frenchies, I have two mentors in the breed. I come from Shar-pei, Frenchies are much different. I have much to learn.
Q. & A. with Marie
Why did you start breeding?
I have always been interested in them. They have the face and wrinkles like the Shar-pei, but in a smaller body and they have a clown-like attitude toward life. I started talking to a breeder from Georgia that was willing to mentor me. I explained to her that I don't take breeding lightly and I will be needing guidance in this breed. I eventually received a male pup from her.
What makes your program special?
I think of myself as a slow breeder. I don't rush to put a breeding pair together. There is a lot of thought, health testing, and pedigree analysis to take into consideration. My mentors at this point are helping in this process as well. I consider the biggest challenge to be finding the correct home for each pup. The personalities must match. Families need to be dedicated to their new addition.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
