Frog Blog - Notes from a French Bulldog Breeder
http://www.bullmarketfrogs.com/blog
Frog Blog is written by Carol Gravestock, who has been addicted to French Bulldogs since she first saw a rather horrid photo of three leashed and huffing European bred Frenchies in a book about dog breeds of the world.
Obtaining her first French Bulldog in 1989, she quickly embarked on a journey she still refers to as How to learn everything that can possibly go wrong with a French Bulldog in five agonizing lessons. After purchasing dogs with (in no particular chronological order) megaesophagus, severe and crippling hip dysplasia and patellar luxations, stenotic nares, elongated soft palate, and, in a final grace note, chondro dwarfism, your average intelligent person would have given up and moved on to raising something simple, like orchids. Or unicorns.
Not Carol, though.
She stuck it out, found some good dogs from great breeders, and set up shop under the kennel name Bullmarket. She whelped her first litter in 1990, and has been happily immersed in all things French Bulldog ever since.
Carol resides in a small town in southwestern Ontario, and really hates referring to herself in the third person.
