Bully of the Month Ends
Starting this month, we say “Farewell” to Bully of the Month. Feedback from members and visitors to the FBDCA website is that they prefer an immediate purchase rather than a month long, auction-style listing.
The Ways and Means Committee will continue to offer great items at the Vintage Corner and FBDCA Boutique. In fact, swing by now to claim a piece of Dresden Porcelain or a rare bit of World War I memorabilia, each with a Frenchie in a supporting role. Click and buy for instant satisfaction of adding either (or both!) items to your collection.
French Bulldogs and the Titanic
Not many breeds can claim passage on the Titanic, but the French Bulldog breed can. Not only did a Frenchie travel in high style, so did a prominent French Bulldog judge. Read about their travels on this 100th anniversary of the ship’s sinking: Frenchies and the Titanic
