Curious about Guardianship?9/9/2024 What is Guardianship? Guardianship of a show-quality French Bulldog is a truly unique and rewarding experience. As responsible preservation breeders, we are offering the opportunity to place show prospects, semi-active breeding contributors, and retired veterans in homes and families at no purchase cost. These French Bulldogs can thrive as cherished members of the family. Instead of purchasing a French Bulldog, potential show prospects or finished Champions are entrusted to guardian homes with the expectation of the same care and love that any happy, healthy French Bulldog would receive. Occasionally, the show prospect will be temporarily back in our care to attend shows to attain their Championship status. Imagine having the breeder's pick of the litter!
We ask that we be able to continue our very important bloodlines. At no cost to the guardian home, we would complete all health clearances, championship titles, and other breeding precursors. What this means to a potential guardian home is that we would have puppies from a female, and use males at stud occasionally. Typically, the guardian home would be without their French Bulldog for a short period while we work to secure the future of this breed. If you are in the Metro Atlanta area and are interested in joining our family and becoming a guardian of one of our well-behaved, adaptable, and comfortable companions, we warmly invite you to contact us! Navigating the Realm of Canine Breeding8/31/2024 As proprietors of stud dogs, the meticulous selection of dam owners who espouse akin breeding principles and objectives stands as a critical facet in upholding the credibility of our breeding program. This necessitates a thorough evaluation of the intentions and methodologies of potential breeding collaborators to ascertain concurrence with preservation objectives as opposed to purely monetary incentives. It entails distinguishing between preservation breeders and individuals involved in alternative breeding approaches. As preservation breeders, our emphasis lies in according precedence to the conformation compatibility, health, and lineage of prospective partners with the aim of preservation, rather than financial gain. Conversely, breeders with disparate objectives adhere to distinct practices and motives, and it is imperative for us to preclude the exploitation of our established breeding lines. Thus, it is paramount for us to judiciously select breeding partners to ensure the existence of shared breeding principles and objectives, all serving to perpetuate the sanctity of our pedigrees.

Sprung, American Kennel Club President and Chief Executive Officer, we received the CHAMPIONSHIP CERTIFICATE of the title recently achieved by Mafi. The American Kennel Club takes pride in our achievement, offers its heartiest congratulations, and recognizes and honors the commitment and dedication underlying this accomplishment. Every title won in an American Kennel Club event reinforces the club's mission to support and promote the sport of purebred dogs. Our family and Mafi are part of that mission.
Our heartfelt thanks to Debra Zook Mattingly for her unwavering support of our program and her exceptional presentation. Congratulations to her and her team, Anna Frandsen and Kenny Mattingly, for their dedication to our sweet boy and the love and care they provided during his campaign.

We couldn't be more proud! What is the Sport of Conformation? The official term for dog shows is conformation — as in, the act of conforming or producing conformity. While a dog show may look like a beauty pageant, it's not. Dogs are not being compared to each other; they're being measured by how closely they conform to the standard of their particular breed. Why? Because the closer a dog’s appearance is to the breed’s standard, the better that dog’s ability will be to produce puppies that meet the standard. It’s also the reason why mixed breeds and spayed or neutered purebreds are ineligible to compete in conformation. As one of the most popular AKC events, conformation events range from large all-breed shows, with over 3,000 dogs entered, to small local specialty club shows that feature only one breed. Mafi got mail!7/22/2024 Mafi got mail! It’s our contribution to the breeders of tomorrow!

We couldn't be more proud! “An individual is not an eye, a hip, or a heart. Each individual carries tens of thousands of genes, and each is part of the breed's gene pool. Breeders must consider all aspects, such as health issues, conformation, temperament, and working ability. Making breeding decisions based on a single testable gene is inappropriate.”- Jerold S Bell, DVM Director, OFA - The Canine Health Information Center What is the CHIC Certification Program? The OFA created the Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) by partnering with participating parent clubs to research and maintain information on the health issues prevalent in specific breeds. They’ve established a recommended protocol for breed-specific health screenings. Dogs tested in accordance with that protocol are recognized with a CHIC number and certification. At OFA, they recognize that the more information stored and accessible in these databases, the better it will be for every breed. And so they encourage all breeders to attain CHIC Certification if their breed participates in the CHIC program. A dog achieves CHIC Certification if it has been screened for every disease recommended by the parent club for that breed and those results are publicly available in the database. See the recommended screenings by breed. Our Etsy Shop!7/13/2024 ![]() We are often asked how we can afford our program and if it is through puppy sales. The truth is, like most preservation breeders, we do not make any money from puppy sales. Instead, much of our financial support comes from my husband's PatriotNostalgia Esty shop. He generously contributes all profits from his Handcrafted Fine Wood Goods French Bulldog Collection to our program. This month, he is offering this beautifully handcrafted catch-all tray for purchase in his shop. It can be personalized with engraving, including logos. Isn't it gorgeous? He also has a wide range of other designs listed on his site, each as unique and beautiful as the next. He has worked with clubs from various breeds to create personalized trophies for their shows and breeders who include them in their pup take-home bags. These are truly PAWFECT gifts and awards!
