My Frenchie and pitbull mastiff mix

[froggz]

Mimzy is the sweetest little frenchie, I currently co-own her along with Cedar Ridge Boxers. She's an absolute little diva. She stays with me any time she's not in her co-owners care, and usually a week a month, at least.

This is Jay. Cedar Ridge also operates a boxer/bully type rescue. Three weeks ago my friend had mentioned that I needed to meet a particular dog after I made the comment I needed a bully breed and admired their ability to think on their feet. It didnt take alot for me to agree to meet and at least foster the dog, but it was love at first sight. He's very obedient for being in a large kennel facility, loves to learn and is amazing with children. I had him micro chipped and have already made his future vet appointments for his next round of shots/wormers. I'm training for canine good citizen, therapy dog international, and temperament testing. Our only hangup is that terrifying umbrella:main_laugh: Any other "scary" object doesn't phase him. I would like to continue his training into agility and scent tracking/search and rescue.

He's mostly a couch potato, but can be a 65lb house tornado when hubby gets him playing. I'm loving the fact he's so conscientious not to knock into any furniture except the couch if he can at all help it, and that near the tables and such he'll stop wagging his tail. Good dog.

They're both adorable! Frenchies are hands down my favorite breed. Good luck with Jay's certifications!

Mimzy is so adorable! I love Jay, he looks like a very reliable and just generally awesome dog to have around. Thanks for sharing.

Jay looks like a doll! You sure he's not a rhodie/pitt cross?...that profile shot of his head just suggests rhodie to me.... **shrug** He's perty

very cute pups...I'm a sucker for pit bulls

I agree with Stina, I seem more rhodesian in him than mastiff of boxer.

French Bulldogs are so cute! You don't see many in my area though.

I really doubt that he's crossed with rhodie simply because they are very rare in my area. I know of one registered rhodie that was picked up in texas about six months ago. There aren't any breeders in my state that are well known. Since he was a pup picked up on the side of a highway there's really no telling exactly what he may be but the area that he was picked up in is full of bull type dogs. I'm sure one of his parents at least wasn't purebred so who know's what exactly he's made up with.

Either way he's got to be the best mannered and well behaved dog I've ever had lol!

How does the co-ownership thing work? Is it for showing purposes?
I've heard of somone co-owning with the puppy's breeder during the showing period in the dog's life, and then the breeder turns the dog over to the second owner after it's carreer. Is that how your deal works also?

The reason I ask is that I already have two dogs, and neither of them are show quality, but I'd really like to get into dog shows. So I've thought about maybe doing something like buying co-ownership in a show quality puppy and adopting it full time after it's show career is over.
