Hello............Thanks for  taking a few minutes of your time to visit  Crestagard...Let's begin our visit by getting acquainted.   I have designed a wonderful home for my frenchies, a large room of their own, a separate bathing and grooming area and a large doggie play yard.  Inside this area are  fenced runs, to keep visiting frenchies, puppies and my stud dogs safe and secure..... we live way out in the country, on 10 acres of pristine privacy.    Gary, my husband, is currently working like crazy to complete the  dog areas.  He will continue the inside  dog grooming and laundry areas when the winter weather begins......my husband enjoys the dogs, and loves the shows, but most of all he  dedicates so much to our endeavors.  
  Through my eyes, my  frenchies aren't dogs, ....they are  like furry children, loved and cherished.  My french bulldogs carry some of the top pedigrees in the world........ Each frenchie I own, that is involved in producing offspring is health tested, the results discussed with one of the top brachycephalic breed specialists in America,  Dr. John Wilson,of Washington Michigan, before I proceed. 
When I produce a litter, I  enjoy watching the  puppies grow, evaluating  each baby against  our breed standard.  The breed standard is like a  "road map", it  provides  dedicated breeders  a mental picture of what a correct  show frenchie should look like.    Every day I study my puppies, comparing them to  the breed standard.   At eight weeks I  seriously evaluate the litter, often with another top breeder, at that time  mentally selecting what puppy  may continue on at Crestagard.   A final selection will be made at 12-16 weeks of age.  This puppy  will eventually enter the show ring.  As I mentioned, I am a very small hobby breeder, and only retain one, maybe two puppies a year.  If I find I have a puppy that did not continue matching the standard as I would like, I place that puppy in a companion home.   I never place puppies that leave my home in breeding establishments.    
  My frenchies live in my home, as loved family members. I keep my frenchie family limited, so litters are not frequent, but I do plan some special  litters a year.   Occasionally, I  have beautiful puppies available to approved  companion homes.
  Please give me a call, or email me,  Id  love to talk about my "kids", and even if I have nothing available, I would be happy to help mentor you.  Visit the French Bulldog Club of America and follow the links to read about our breed and the issues that should concern you.  As  with all endeavors, education is the key....talk to as many breeders as you can before adopting a frenchie.........ask questions,  discuss health concerns of this breed....and remember a puppy is a lifetime of love and commitment.          

          Sincerely, Bev McDonald..........Crestagardfrenchies
