Assisi French Bulldogs

Hello and Welcome to Assisi Frenchies!  My name is Lori Hunt, DVM, and I have been involved with frenchies since 1999!  I am a small animal veterinarian and I have been  a member in good standing of the French Bulldog Club of America since 2000.  I served on the Board of Directors from 2010-2014, and also over the years have served as chairs of various committees.  I am also a member of the Theriogenology Society of America (for veterinarians interested in reproduction).

Here at Assisi, my dogs are my family first and foremost and show/performance dogs second!  I breed only health tested dogs.  I am striving to produce quality healthy dogs who conform to the standard and win in the ring!

At Dreamland, we only breed French Bulldogs.  They have been our entire lives for the past 13+ years, breeding for health, temperament and breed type. Parents are health tested using genetic  testing currently available for the breed. I am a member in good standing with The French Bulldog Club of America.

Although we show our dogs, they are first and foremost, our pets and family. Every one of our dogs are raised and live in our home and travel with us whenever we are on the road…they love it!

We are the Brott Family; Karen and Ken, children Adam and Grace. We have been showing and breeding French Bulldogs in Ohio since 2005.

Our love for the French Bulldog started innocently. In fall of 2004, we visited a traveling exhibit about the Titanic. While there, we saw a short video about a young 6 year old girl who played with a brindle french bulldog on board the ship during its historic crossing. We were smitten!

We did our research, starting with books, then Internet and finally, by visiting breeders at local dog shows. Although initially searching for a companion, we ended up with a show prospect. That began our journey with this wonderful breed. We chose our name after “Chateau de Chambord”, the amazing hunting lodge of King Francois the First. Thus, our name merges two areas of French beauty. We don’t have a formal kennel; our dogs share our home with our family.

From 2000 to 2003 I owned a cat and dog gift retail store called E. Claire and Company in West Des Moines, IA.  Customers were encouraged to bring their companion animals to the store.  We took hundreds of pictures over the 4 years we were in business.  A copy of the picture would be displayed in the store and the other sent to the owner with a handwritten note.  The picture on the left is one of my favorite Rottweilers, Ruby.  On the right is the first French Bulldog, Rocky, that I ever got the pleasure to personally meet prior to owning my own Frenchies.

From my early childhood, I knew that I was truly endeared to animals.  My intensity for caring for and loving animals grew from my early childhood days to my adulthood.  I have always felt a passion for caring for animals and protecting them.  Today that passion and intensity continues.  In 1988, my husband David and our two young children, Nick and Eric, acquired our first companion dog, a Miniature Schnauzer, Princess.  Unknowingly, we purchased Princess directly from a commercial kennel.  We were fortunate in that Princess was a healthy puppy.  Shortly after our exposure to this commercial kennel we became involved in the local animal shelter, the Animal Rescue League of Des Moines, Iowa.  During the next several years we rescued our second Miniature Schnauzer, Cassie Lou and a Boston Terrier, Mimi Roberta.  Soon to follow was our second Boston Terrier, Claire, who we adopted directly from the shelter.

Most “normal” people would think that 4 dogs would be enough, but in 2001 we were blessed to have the opportunity to purchase our first French Bulldog, Jack.  One of the requests from his breeder, Marilyn Burdick, Pudgybull, was that we “show” Jack in the conformation ring.   Although we had never had a show dog we were willing to try and such is the beginning of a wonderful story and journey.  Since Jack we have added other French Bulldogs to our family.  Each one has become a beloved member of our family.
