I am a French Bulldog enthusiast in Northern California, specializing in the rare colors of Blue and Chocolate. I am also working on the extremely unusual Champagne color. I have handpicked my dogs to make sure that they come from top International and American Champion lines and I have done extensive research on each of their pedigrees to insure this.
I have loved and owned French Bulldogs for 35 years now. My late husband purchased our first one, a beautiful brindle female in the mid 1970's from Janis Hampton. Janis was one of the early top French Bulldog breeders, and a highly respected dog show Judge and she had the top winning French Bulldogs of that time. My husband finished our girl's Championship fairly easily which at that time was considered hard to do as there were not that many Frenchies in the rings.

Two years ago a breeder sent me a picture of a beautiful blue French bulldog puppy and I fell in love with this unusual and rare color and decided that I would like to specialize in this color. I then came across the Chocolate Frenchie which is an even rarer color. Blue and Chocolate French Bulldogs are not able to be shown in AKC conformation events, because when the breed standard was written over one hundred years ago, the breeders at that time decided that the only acceptable color nose was black. The nose leather is a slate blue color on a blue dog. Blue is a dilute color of the black and occurs naturally when two dogs carrying the recessive blue gene "dd" are bred together. The nose leather on a Chocolate is a self-colored chocolate and is an actual absence of the black nose color, the Eumelanin is expressed instead as chocolate and occurs when two dogs carrying the chocolate gene "bb" are bred together. The blue and the chocolate colors are extremely beautiful and for the blue would include, blue brindle, blue fawn, blue pied and blue fawn pied. The Chocolate could be also be any combination of these colors, chocolate brindle, chocolate pied etc...
