Our Boys

Bruce

TRALINKA THEY CALL ME BRUCE

SIRE: HEALTHPRIORITY PHOENIX                   DAM: TRALINKA VENUS IN BLUE GENES DOB: 16/06/2023 SPINE: 0           HIP: 4/5           ELBOW: 0/0 DNA: DM Carrier. 2 copy bulky gene. 1 copy DVL2. COLOUR: E/e, Em/En, I/i, B/b, d/d, ay/at, sp/sp, m/m, carrier long hair. COLOUR INTERPRETATION: Blue extreme pied, carries cream, cocoa, tan points, long-hair.

Bruce is possibly one of the calmest Frenchies you will ever meet. He is gentle, submissive, and non-aggressive to the point of letting any of the girls push him around! He loves his cuddles and attention from anyone willing to give it to him. A lot of his pups have inherited his temperament, which is lovely to see. Bruce is a little oversized for a Frenchie, due to having 2 copies of the bulky gene, but most of the pups we’ve had from him grow to be more general in size (10-12kg). So far, he has thrown more than 50% of his pups with one copy DVL2 gene, and all have had a perfect bulldog bite. Bruce has good breathing, and the vast majority of his pups are the same. There are no guarantees this will be the case for every litter, but we hope the trend continues.

Korben

TRALINKA KORBEN DALLAS

SIRE: HEALTHPRIORITY BIGGIE SMALLS                      DAM: TRALINKA JUST BLUE IN DOB: 09/01/2024 SPINE: tba       HIP: tba           ELBOW: tba DNA: 1 copy DVL2. COLOUR: tba COLOUR INTERPRETATION: Solid blue fawn.

Korben is a medium sized blue fawn boy. He is gentle and kind, while also being energetic and playful. I wouldn’t call him “outgoing”, as he’s too gentle for that, but he does love to run around with his friends. His ears are very… personalised, either being up or down depending on his mood and the weather! He usually has one up and one down, but that can change. Korben is just starting his stud career, and so far we’ve been very happy with what he’s produced. Korben is not open to public stud duties, but we are happy to discuss options if people are interested in using him.

Hank

Tralinka Hank the Tank

SIRE: TRALINKA KORBEN DALLAS DAM: TRALINKA HEART AND SOUL DOB: 21/06/2025 SPINE: tba HIP: tba ELBOW: tba DNA: tba COLOUR: tba COLOUR INTERPRETATION: Solid blue fawn.

Hank is only a young boy, but he’s certainly got personality to burn already. Outgoing, loving, affectionate and cheeky, he’s the perfect combination of goofball and snuggle-bunny. Hank isn’t going to be a big Frenchie and will look a lot like his father, Korben, except with a fluffy, fat tail. Hank loves to play and is very forward with people. He likes to voice his opinions too and will quite readily tell you if he’s not getting enough attention, or if he disagrees with you hugging someone else. He definitely doesn’t like that!

Retired Boys

Duke

STAGSLODGE THE DUKE

SIRE: CHHUUNKKEE TEDDY             DAM: MERLOT MISS MONET DOB: 09/07/2021 SPINE: 9       HIP: 8/8        ELBOW: N/A DNA: Clear 6. 2 copy DVL2 and bulky. COLOUR: E/E, i/i, B/b, D/d, K/k, at/a, S/sp. merle. no long hair. COLOUR INTERPRETATION: Black merle, carries tan points and coca.

Duke is a robust, outgoing and very personable sort of Frenchie. He loves going for a run and some good old fashioned rough-n-tumble play. Not much bothers him, and he has great stamina. Duke retired at a rather young age, only due to our move towards single copy DVL2 boys (in our efforts to eliminate the screwtail gene). We have several of his daughters still in the breeding program, and they are also proving to be just as robust as their father.

Zebedee

TRALINKA THE BOUNCING ZEBEDEE

Zebedee is like a little tank, but in no way extreme. At 11kg he’s a perfect size. Short in leg and with a more traditional Frenchie shape it’s not surprising his spine score is higher. But his pups and grand-puppies are continuing to improve the general outline of a healthy Frenchie. Zebedee is a big snuggler, and loves his cuddles. He is now retired, and living the life of a lounge lizard, but in his younger years he was certainly energetic. Desexing and middle age has settled him down quite a bit.

Marcel

SKYLOS MARCELO

SIRE: MYFRIEND HERCULES                     DAM: SKYLOS YOPLAIT DOB: 13/05/2016 SPINE: 13       HIP: 13/14      ELBOW: 0/0 DNA: Clear 5. 2 copy DVL2. COLOUR: E/e, B/B, d/d, Kb/Kbr, ay/ay, S/sp. no long hair. no merle. COLOUR INTERPRETATION: Solid blue fawn, carries cream and pied.

Marcel was one of the first French Bulldogs to enter our breeding program. He is now an old man, grey around the edges and very much a loved member of his family. But his legacy continues in his progeny. With a lovely length of muzzle, and not heavy-set of limb or head, he was a good starting point for what we wanted to achieve with improving Frenchies into the future.
