Welcome To Our Site I have been interested in breeding and showing animals all my life. My first experience with showing was in 1964 when I purchased a show quality English Setter puppy. I showed the dog to his Championship and was bitten by the show bug.
In the 60's I also became interested in Quarter horses and had the luck to be close to some history making breeders who were my mentors in breeding and showing quarter horses. Names like Howard Pitzer, Norman Reynolds and Hank Weiscamp all three of these men ended up being legends in the quarter horse world. They showed me the big picture in a breeding program, as well as to art of breeding to the Standard of a Breed. |

I became interested in CFA Burmese Cats breeding #2 Burmese in the Country with 124 Best Cat In Shows. Bred Quarter Horses for 30 years had AQHA Champion, Superior Halter awards, ROM Performance Winners, World Champions. While I had a Ranch in Kansas, I also bred Gelbvieh Cattle, had the High Selling Female at the Louisville stock show one year as well as top gaining bull at the bull test station.
I purchased a Boxer in the 80's won at the National with him and many group wins, bred Jack Russell Terriers and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels both before AKC recognized them. I always had my eye on French Bulldogs, even back in the 60's but realized they were extremely difficult to breed, and took a great deal of time and effort to produce. So I waited until I was close to retirement.
I purchased my first French Bulldog in 1999. In 2004 I purchased several show puppies in a two year period from the late Dana Harlow of Morgan Manor French Bulldogs and from those show prospects two females were selected for our foundation. I also imported some top European lines. The American French bulldog gene pool is very small, so my breeding program combines both top European and American Lines like Jackpot, Engstrom, and Starhaven American lines, De La Parure, Daulokke, and KingFriend European lines.
We breed for quality not quantity, so the Champions we do produce are to improve the breed not stack up a large number of Champions to prove I have breeding skills many of our dogs in the process of finishing their Championship place in the non sporting group and very few of our bitches are finished by our choice, most have been showed to make sure they have what it takes to be in our breeding program, many getting Best of Opposite Sex from the puppy classes over Champion Specials. Most Males we use for breeding are shown to Championship and we have produced Top Ten Nationally Ranked French Bulldogs, Best of Winners at Breed Specialty Show, Best In Show at French Bulldog Club of America Specialty. I will be slowing down my breeding operation and will not show in the future, but I will share my line with those interested in showing or who want a top quality healthy beautiful dog. I love breeding so much I can not see stopping anytime soon.
My credentials as a breeder are above my experience with this breed is as follows: I qualified for both the breeder's list on the French Bulldog Club's website, I am an AKC Breeder of Merit, IN THIS BREED. I have gotten invitation to attend the top 20 from French Bulldog Club of America, three years in a row on GR(Bronze). Ch. Framke's Kipp. Best In Show Specialty GR. Ch. Framke's Amos won Best of Winners at the Mason Dixon French Bulldog Club of America specificity show as a puppy, Best In Show at French Bulldog Club of America's SPECIALTY show in New Castle, PA. BISS Gr. Ch. Framke's Amos was invited to the 2021 National Top Twenty French Bulldog Club Specialty by the French Bulldog Club of America.
I've decided to retire from showing as I have achieved what I had set out to do in the show ring, but still plan on breeding and making improvements to this breed.
I have bred for Temperament, functional type, good mothering , fertility, flexibility, excellent health and longevity.
In my years of breeding French Bulldogs my belief is that size to fit the lap, health , excellent breathing , and lung capacity and a long life.
Our breeding stock is cleared by DNA testing. all have abnormal bone structure, all have Hemivertebrae, unfortunately no way of correcting . Dwarfism is a deformity of the skeleton and the result of miniaturization of the Bulldog. Less weight on these joints the better, pick a small dog. We offer select show stock and of course pets.
