Like all breeders, we intend to breed to the French Bulldog standard. While interpretations of the standard may vary we will never compromise on health or temperament. Our breeding stock has been X-rayed normal or OFA approved – Hips and Patellas, Eyes & Heart CERF’d and DNA tested for juvenile cataracts. Our stock is bred only to dogs of equal or greater quality, always trying to achieve that “perfect machine”.
Here at Fronteer Frenchies we truly aim for a puppy that can comfortably make the transition from our family to yours. While we breed for show, we do sell a number of pups as “pet quality”.
Pet Quality puppies are sold on a LIMITED registration. These puppies are registered with the American Kennel Club, but can not be used for breeding. This is to protect the quality of the line and integrity of our breeding program.
Welcome to Valpo French Bulldogs. We are Dave and Sue Misch. We live about 1 hour north of Detroit. We love our 10 acre home where our dogs run freely on our property. We are fortunate to have the acreage, where our dogs walk off lead with us to enjoy the smells and sounds of the great outdoors.
We are small hobby breeders. We do not have a kennel. All of our frenchies and danes live in our home with us as part of our family. When we plan a breeding, we focus on health, temperament, and pedigrees. Our goal is to produce the healthiest puppies possible. All puppies are sold on a spay/neuter contract with AKC limited registration. We do not breed often, but occasionally have puppies available to approved homes.
Sue has been a member of the French Bulldog Club of America for 16+ years. She also is active in the show ring. She owner handles her own Frenchies.
A little about me…….it was in 1993 that I lost my last pug, Toots and I was devastated. My constant shadow was gone, my home was very lonely, and I yearned for a furry little somebody to kiss and love. While reading a dog magazine, I came across a picture of a frenchie with his owner. At that moment I knew I wanted one so, I began a frantic search for a frenchie, and within 3 weeks I was the ecstatic owner of my first french bulldog, Louie……For the first year and a half, Louie reigned supreme, learning tricks and entertaining everyone that stopped by. Well, one just wasn’t enough, and eventually I searched for another to join Louie. My second frenchie was Prissy…..a pied girl that I adored………Since then I have had many wonderful frenchies, all like kids, all different and unique. The queen of my heart was Tutti, Queen Supreme….(aka Tori…Ch. Shann’s Toy Story) she went everywhere with me…..slept with me, she was the head Bitch! Tutti was my rock, thru tough times and more, she was there to love and be loved. Her daughter, Sissy, took her rightful place next to her, and so it continued. I was consumed by this special breed of dogs, I love all things about them..
Over the years I began showing my frenchies, Prissy, my little pied girl was the first of them. Although I am not a professional, my frenchies and I have done very well in the show ring. I have shown many of the frenchies I’ve bred to their championships.
This passion of mine has been a gift to me….these little dogs are a great part of my life, both past, present, and God willing, my future. So many wonderful things have happened because of them.
One important thing as you look for a frenchie: do your research before you adopt. Check this breed closely, they do have health issues you need to be aware of., Also, get to know your breeder, make sure you are totally comfortable with them, and ask lots of questions.
I have been involved in dogs since I can remember. I grew up in New York where my father was a New York City Police officer in the narcotic/K-9 division. We raised and trained Rottweilers for the police department many years ago. Feeding, obedience training and attack work was a daily routine growing up. On the opposite side of the spectrum, my family attended Westminster dog shows annually, growing up in New York certainly had its advantages! As a youngster watching adults in glamorous gowns showing impeccably groomed dogs made my heart skip a beat. I can honestly say Westminster Dog Show is where I got my “dog show bug”.
As an adult I pursued as many fields as I could that involved working with animals, especially dogs. I’ve worked as a veterinarian technician for a clinic that not only treated dogs, cats and reptiles but also our local zoo animals. I’ve been employed in the pet food industry and volunteered with our local police department’s K-9 unite for several years. Once I decided to get married and start a family I left the field I loved (due to the fact it also kept me out of the house all hours of the day and night) for the “Corporate World” where I worked for an international corporation’s legal department for over 20 years. Now, I’m happily retired and a grandmother of six incredible grandchildren.
I believe my experience, and education has afforded me the luxury of being above average when it comes to canine health, nutrition, behavior and conformation. For more information regarding French Bulldog’s unique health needs can be found under the HEALTH tab of my web site.
Once there was a little spotted dog named BOOMER. He was the very first French Bulldog to come live with us here at Encore. We were immediately infected with a serious case of French Bulldog Fever and there is no known cure except for FRENCHIES!
Now ENCORE French Bulldogs is home to group winning, multiple specialty winning, fancy schmancy show dogs. But it all began with one little spotted dog…BOOMER. While Boomer is now guiding us from the Other Side, we know he is with us and watching over us.
And so Encore French Bulldogs began.
