Our Retired Girls

Josette

TRALINKA JOSETTE DU PRES

SIRE: LYNTON LOUIS VUITTON DAM: TRALINKA SHE WAS A SHOWGIRL DOB: 09/03/2020 SPINE: 21       HIP:7/9            ELBOW: n/a DNA: Carrier DM. 2 copy DVL2. 2 copy bulky. COLOUR: E/E, Em/Em, B/B, d/d, i/i, KB/Kbr, S/sp, ay/ay, 0 copy long-hair. COLOUR: Blue, carries pied.

Josette is a solid girl, robust and very strong. And those ears! They were definite in their desire to stay down. The curse of the French Bulldog’s bat-like ears: sometimes those ears are just simply too big to stay up. Josette is a dominant personality, just like her mother and daughter. It’s certainly a trait of the bloodline. Josette is a little bit cheeky, and whenever you’re not paying attention, she darts out between your legs and runs off for some fun, pushing open doors with her head if they’re not latched properly. She’s a lark.

 

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. 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, and as soon as you try and make her, 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, but dominant when she needs to be.

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 Zebe, so calm and relaxed and gentle. She would much rather sit and cuddle with someone than run around like a lunatic. 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.
