Our philosophy

It may sound a bit arrogant of me to say that we are quite successful in this “business”, but we are! We have bred and still breed top show dogs and we have had many champions, but that is certainly not our priority! We are aware that all Frenchies would rather spend time with their owners rather then travel all the time in an endless attempt to win some award on a dog contest. We have a holistyc aproach to this matter and we believe that a happy dog is a healthy dog!

 

When we are talking about dogs and competition, we do not need our dogs to satisfy our egos and make us feel good. We are very much active in other fields such as animal rescue and raising awareness about animal rights. We also know there is always a part of success not everyone can see and that includes putting a smile on people’s faces and knowing you did a good job.

 

A dog is a creature of habit and he needs consistent daily routine. All my family enjoys playing with our dogs, taking them for a walk, grooming them…, but it is not all that peachy! They have their own physical and emotional needs and being a responsible breeder and owner means satisfying those needs even when you have other obligations. At Fleur de Vanille, dogs come first. We never live them unattended and we even avoid living them with a professional sitter for more than a few hours. That sometimes means not going to a dog show for weeks or even months and don’t make me tell you how many times I have missed a vacation with my family for that! However, I love them, I love this job, so it does not seem like that much of a sacrifice to me.

 

We take our breeding very seriously and having a reliable and experienced veterinarian in this line of work is necessity. We are cooperating only with experts with high recommendations who are available to us 24/7.
