Foster frenchie has arrived
and he is a real sweetheart. His new name is Dash after a FBRN members friend. (She made a donation to FBRN for me to choose the name. Yes I CAN be bought for a good cause!) It is a Russian last name (Dashkoff) and it fits well since he is a Russian import. (with Russian papers to prove it, I wish I could read them) The imports have a slightly different body type than the regular AKC frenchie. It is more of a Boston Terrier look. Taller and lanky with a longer tail. He is also a non-akc acceptable color. (typical of the imports as they breed for money not conformation) For more info on Russian importers check out the link in the sidebar "The Wrong Puppy".
He is black with a small white spot on his chest. He also has a floppy ear. He does have a cherry eye but the mange is actually not to bad. They had already been treating it so it is almost gone at this point. Once he is neutered and fixed up he is going to be a WONDERFUL pet for a family.
He travels very well and simply curls up to sleep once under way. He loves all people and is great with other dogs. He is already housebroken which makes my job and life so much easier. :-) He is good on leash as well. He does need some basic training and to learn that jumping on people isn't allowed. (those nails are sharp!) He is a great example of the kind of dogs you can get through rescue or your local shelter. He was given up due to allergies in the family.
I'll try to add a pic of him to my website so I can show him off soon. He is a real cutie. Son would still rather have a pug though. How funny is that?
