JUST SOME OF OUR
FRENCH BULLDOG CLUB OF AMERICA NATIONAL SPECIALTY
WINS THRU THE YEARSFrench Bulldog Breeders of Many Awards/Wins
My first trip to a French Bulldog National Specialty Show was to the windy city of Chicago! in Oct. of 1984.
Where our first home bred French Bulldog Champion Smokey Valley's Adam Atom Ant proved it was worth the
effort by going Winners Dog and being part of the French Bulldog winning Stud Dog class as well. (see pictures below)
Here at Smokey Valley Kennel we were still young breeders of the French Bull Dogs so this kind of
Wins/Awards were just what we needed to kick off our kennel here in Washington State.
We have continued to be the place where frenchie lovers of the French Bull Dogs
come to see, visit and buy lovely Top Quality, dogs, puppies thru the years for both
the Foreign, Domestic and International Exhibitors, Breeders of this great pet, family and companion dog.
Join us in a look back at the many dogs that have done us proud with their big awards wins at important
French Bulldog Shows over the years.
