  • Dulcinea French Bulldogs

    I started dog showing back in the 80’s, when I was breeding Boston Terriers.  I was the Secretary for the Suncoast Boston Terrier Club for several years, until I was introduced to the English Bulldog in 1997.  After 7 short months, I placed all 15 of my Boston Terriers, and bought 2 more English Bulldogs.   I named my first Bulldog, Dulcinea Steal My Heart… as she truly did. I subsequently enjoyed being the Vice President of the Tampa Bay Bulldog Club for 8 years, from 1-1-2005 through 12-31-2012.  I am currently a member of the Music City Bulldog Club out of Nashville, TN.  I also enjoyed being Secretary for Division VIII of the Bulldog Club of America for 4 years, from 1-1-2010 through 12-31-2013, and for another 2 years,  1-1-2016 through 12-31-2017.  (The Bulldog Club of America is divided into 8 Divisions, and Division VIII includes Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi & Tennessee.) Since 1997, I have bred and finished 16 AKC English Bulldog Champions and am a member of the Bulldog Club of America’s “Breeders’ Hall of Fame”. In 2009, I got my first French Bulldog and began having those two breeds.  However, due to several issues, including my AGE, I have now moved to solely breeding and showing French Bulldogs.  I will still continue to have some male English Bulldogs for breeding other Bulldoggers’ girls. In January 2010, I joined the French Bull Dog Fanciers of Mid-Florida, and was Secretary for the Club from 2013 through 2018.  I now have three French Bulldog AKC Champions (bred by me).  You can buy a Champion, but you only get credit if you  bred  the Champion. And I am working on my fourth Frenchie Champion… I am an AKC designated “Breeder Of Merit”, which is a huge honor for me.   And I participate in the AKC’s “Bred with H.E.A.R.T.” program (Health, Education, Accountability, Responsibility, and Tradition).
