Our Girls

Monique

TRALINKA MY FAIR LADIE

SIRE: TRALINKA PRINCE LOUIS VUITTON DAM: BONZABULL MON CHERI AMOUR DOB: 02/08/2021 SPINE: 15         HIP: 2/3           ELBOW: 0/0 DNA: clear 6. 2 copy DVL2. 2 copies bulky. COLOUR: E/E, Em/Em, I/i, B/b, d/d, ky/ky, ay/at, sp/sp, m/m, carries long-hair. COLOUR INTERPRETATION: Blue fawn extreme pied, carries cocoa and long-hair.

Monique is one of those very modern-looking Frenchies that you’d swear wouldn’t be able to run or function, yet she defies the odds and does everything. Short and cobby, with a fat head and broad shoulders, she is everything her body says she shouldn’t be: she’s fast, athletic, a great breather, and whelps litters naturally and without medical intervention. I swear Monique could out-run a kelpie if given half a chance. Never out of breath, never stopping, her body is built like a professional weightlifter, without an ounce of fat on her. She’s very outgoing in nature, focussed on anything that moves, and yet is the biggest sook with people. She refuses to simply do as she’s told, though. She’ll stand there and look at you as if to say, “come get me then”, and as soon as you do, she rolls over and submits, showing her belly. How can anyone be mad at a dog being so damned adorable? Needless to say she gets away with everything!

Piper

TRALINKA PIPER OF CHARM

SIRE: STAGSLODGE THE DUKE DAM: TRALINKA JOSETTE DU PRES DOB: 20/10/2022 SPINE: tba       HIP: tba           ELBOW: tba DNA: tba COLOUR: tba COLOUR INTERPRETATION: Black merle,

While Piper has her father’s colour, she has her mother’s body shape and temperament. She is on the stocky side, with that stiff body type typical of the modern Frenchie. She has a moderate length of muzzle, and doesn’t tend to snuffle or snort to any great extent. Piper is a step in the right direction for what we are attempting to achieve, and her recent litter of puppies with Bruce have proven to be absolutely fantastic in temperament, shape and health. Piper is a quiet and loving girl most of the time. She is dominant in personality, so she’s quite happy to tell you exactly what she wants, but that’s usually just to give her a fuss and attention. If she does get out, she doesn’t go very far, just happily waiting to be picked up and given some cuddles (as if that was the whole reason for her escape in the first place: which it probably was).  

Flo

TRALINKA HEART AND SOUL

SIRE: TRALINKA THE BOUNCING ZEBEDEE DAM: TRALINKA FLEUR DE LYS DOB: 27/10/2021 SPINE: TBA      HIP: TBA          ELBOW: TBA DNA: 2 copy DVL2. Clear 6. 1 copy bulky. COLOUR: E/e, Em/En, I/I, B/b, d/d, ky/ky, ay/ay, S/sp, m/m, 0 copy long-hair. COLOUR INTERPRETATION: Blue fawn, carries cream and cocoa. One copy pied. No long-hair.

Flo is an adorable girl, and almost identical to her father, Zebedee. Literally just a carbon copy, mini-me. Although Flo is a lot more of a plodder compared with her father, so calm and relaxed and gentle. She would much rather sit and cuddle with someone than run around like a lunatic. Sometimes the looks she gives the other Frenchies is hilarious. You can see the thoughts running through her head, “what are those lunatics doing, and why?” Flo is a perfect temperament for what we’re looking for, although she’s more of the traditional Frenchie in shape and facial features. She’s not the best with breathing, although she doesn’t have any serious issues, and her son, Hank, is proving she can certainly throw pups that are vastly improved in the gene pool.

Eva

TRALINKA JUST BLUE IN

SIRE: TRALINKA THE BOUNCING ZEBEDEE DAM: TRALINKA JOSETTE DU PRES DOB: 21/02/2022 SPINE: 13         HIP: 5/5           ELBOW: 0/0 DNA: 2 copy DVL2. Carrier DM. 1 copy bulky COLOUR: E/E, Em/Em, I/i, B/B, d/d, K/k, ay/at, S/S, m/m, 0 copy long-hair. COLOUR INTERPRETATION: Solid blue brindle, carries tan points. No pied, chocolate or long-hair.

Eva is a solid girl, looking very much like her grandma Lola. She is a good medium size for a Frenchie at 11kg, with an outgoing and dominant personality. She knows what she wants, and she’s not afraid to tell you about it and insist that she gets it. She does love to play, and can play a little rough n tumble too. Eva has a much longer muzzle than many French Bulldogs, with lovely open nares, and her breathing reflects that improvement. She has absolutely no issues with her breathing, and her soft palate is in a very good position (not elongated, although that can change with age and pressures). Eva is second generation of free-whelping Frenchies, not requiring a caesarean to give birth. 

Paris

TRALINKA ONE NIGHT IN PARIS

SIRE: STAGSLODGE THE DUKE DAM: TRALINKA SHE WAS A SHOWGIRL DOB: 02/05/2023 SPINE: 3           HIP: 5/5           ELBOW: 1/0 DNA: tba COLOUR: tba COLOUR INTERPRETATION: Black, carrying pied, blue and

Paris is another beautiful example of the type of Frenchie we have been striving to achieve. Even though she has 2 copies of the DVL2 gene, her spine is lovely and long, with a very low score, and she is flexible in body and can wag her stumpy little tail. She has a good length of muzzle and shows no signs of breathing issues. Paris has also recently free whelped her first litter, very amazingly fast and with no issues at all. She is outgoing and adventurous, without being as dominant as her mother: Paris is much more of her father’s daughter at heart. She is equal parts cheeky monkey and good, obedient girl, which does make life interesting when Paris is around.

Alora

TRALINKA PROPHECY OF ALORA DANAN

SIRE; STAGSLODGE THE DUKE             DAM: MOJOBABIES I DREAM OF GIGI DOB: 27/07/2023 SPINE: 5       HIP: 6/6       ELBOW: 0/0 DNA: 2 copy DVL2. COLOUR: COLOUR INTERPRETATION: Black brindle pied,

Alora is an outgoing and playful girl, muscular and energetic, just like her mother. She is from a free-whelping bloodline, and we have every confidence that she will be just like her mother and sister, and happily give birth without any issues. Alora is a great example of what we’ve been striving to achieve in the French Bulldog. Athletic and flexible, she doesn’t suffer from that “stiff” appearance so many Frenchies possess. Her head and shoulders are of good proportion, and her muzzle is long enough to not suffer from breathing issues. She doesn’t snuffle or snort and she runs… a lot. Even though she has the traditional stump-tail, she has a relatively low spine score, and it shows in her flexibility.

Shimmy

TRALINKA GIVE A LITTLE SHIMMY

SIRE: STAGSLODGE THE DUKE DAM: TRALINKA MY FAIR LADIE DOB: 20/01/2024 SPINE: tba       HIP: tba           ELBOW: tba DNA: tba COLOUR: tba COLOUR INTERPRETATION: black and tan merle,

Shimmy, Shimmy, Shimmy! Shimmy by name and shimmy by nature. She is the most adorable of all the Frenchies we’ve ever bred. Whenever she wants attention, she sits down and wiggles around on the ground in this shimmying motion, one paw up in the air for cuteness. It’s the most endearing thing you’ve ever seen… which means Shimmy gets away with absolutely anything and everything because she’s just so darned cute! Just like her mother and grandmother, Shimmy is on the smaller side for a Frenchie, at only 8kg, and is compact and cobby. Also just like her mother and grandmother, she’s fast, athletic, and could outrun a kelpie if given half a chance. With a good length of muzzle, she doesn’t have any issues with breathing. Shimmy does have a less muscular physique than her mother, Monique, softer around the edges and more cuddly. Although the cheeky nature is just the same.

Leileu

TRALINKA THE FIFTH ELEMENT

SIRE: HEALTHPRIORITY BIGGY SMALLS DAM: TRALINKA JUST BLUE IN DOB: 09/01/2024 SPINE: tba       HIP: tba           ELBOW: tba DNA: tba COLOUR: tba COLOUR INTERPRETATION: blue brindle.

Leileu is a medium sized Frenchie, without that bulky look of her mother and grandmother. Being a one copy DVL2 dog, she has a longer tail and greater flexibility than more traditional French bulldogs. Leileu is a gentle girl, outgoing and fun-loving, but not dominant in her character. She’s more interested in doing the right thing, rather than being naughty. She watches people, and is one of those rare Frenchies who is actually obedient. I just love her gentle nature, and her goofy one-ear-up-and-one-ear-down look. It makes her unique (we blame grandma Josette for that one). Leileu is also a third generation free-whelping Frenchie, having recently given birth to her first litter without assistance. She’s a pretty amazing girl.
