Our Mission: Health Above All Else

It doesn't matter how beautiful the shell is if the inside is rotten. 

There are few things more heart breaking than having to lose a cherished pet to a genetic disease, especially if it could have been prevented. 

That is why Crowd Pleazer Frenchies has made it a top priority to test beyond the minimum. We've stepped up our game and encourage other breeders of ALL colors to join us.  We want to know what's in our dog's DNA in addition to PHYSICAL health screens (OFA) to ensure that any stud we breed has the health and structure that should be passed along, not just color.  

We health test AND screen our studs and program females over 182+ genetic diseases, not just the top three or four, which are important for any stud or female you want to breed.  But we don't stop there. We went the extra mile and sought to get Orthapedic Foundaion for Animals (OFA) certifications for our foundation stud the day he turned 2 years old.  And we didn't stop with the heart or the hips.  We also tested the elbows, trachea, patellas and SPINEwhich is not very common among the Frenchie community.  Why? Because Benny's that good. And MOST importantly, because it's the RIGHT THING TO DO.  

And we do that for EVERY in-house stud and all of our program females.

When you choose a stud for your future litter, ask yourself how much do you really know about that dog? Has he been tested for anything besides color? When someone posts that their stud is DNA Health Panel Clear, is that statement alone enough for you? How are his hips, elbows and knees? Has he had his heart tested? And what exactly IS GOING ON in that spine? Because a lot of functional movement (and lack thereof) can be traced to an impingement of the spine and shoulder girdle. If you don't know the answer, you should ask BEFORE you go forward.

No fire emoji or social media post can replace the lack of health or structure.  Anyone who tells you differently is simply marketing an idea.  Sometimes the Kool-Aide is sour: test it before you chug.

 We started out small with Benny, our lilac fawn pied stud just wanting a quality Frenchie.  He was adorable and while we knew he was breeding quality, that wasn't our main goal.  We picked him to be our "Forever Frenchie". He HAD to be a good citizen.  Cute as he may have been, his job was to be a family member first!  We don't rely upon this dog to pay our bills.  We have day jobs.  This is for fun.  

Benny's  breeders had initially decided to keep him for their own program. They were on the fence.  After several weeks they decided to meet with us. It was love at first sight and by the end of the weekend, Benny was riding first class with the JetBlue flight crew home with us on the condition we would not neuter him until his Breeders could evaluate him as he matured. We didn't think much of it... we were just thrilled to have this special grey-eyed boy home with us.

A year later, his Breeders messaged us after seeing some of Benny's social media posts. They asked for videos and we chatted. We agreed to keep him uncut for another six months, at which time we agreed to keep him a stud ONLY if he passed a vet exam for health. We take health seriously and have gone the extra mile to pursue OFA certification (see below).

After that passed, we agreed to test him only for DNA health panel.  We didn't want to know about color tests.  Why? Because none of those mattered if he was unfit genetically.  Health was more important.  When that cleared (and after his breeders got super excited with the results), we decided to jump into the fun world of French Bulldog DNA Color panels.... (dramatic pause)... and what a whirlwind it's been.
