‘Jenny’
In May 2012, I bought Jenny, an adult female, aged 3, directly from her breeder. According to him, she was very possessive when it came to toys and later I found out that she didn’t want to be mated, which isn’t very concenient for a breeder of course. I noticed her complete disinterest in male dogs during her season and asked the breeder if he’d tried to breed her before. He admitted that he had, but to me, that wasn’t a problem. I had Jenny spayed, because eventhough it seems to be quite normal to do IVF in French Bulldog breeding, I don’t think I’d do it in a case like this. Obviously, Jenny isn’t made for breeding, so I’m not going to force anything. With us, Jenny can be Jenny. Since she came to live with us, Jenny has become more self confident. She’s very sweet and can jump really high with her muscular body!
People sometimes ask me if I would like to rehome her, because can’t breed her, but this just isn’t a problem for me. After her spaying, she lost her high ranking in our pack, which is much better, especially for herself. She’s our 18 year old son Julian’s love of his life and when he’s not in his appartment in Hoofddorp, she’s with him and she can even sleep in his bed. Julian was a bit upset that I didn’t write much about her on this website, so I decided to write some more and put some pictures with it.
Jenny has a few strange habits. She’s crazy about lights. Every little light flash has to be caught, also the camera flash, so as soon as you try to take a picture of her, she puts her head down, because she knows there will be a ‘light’. In the summer, when we’re sitting outside in the garden, she runs up on the walls if she she sees the reflection of things like a cellphone or watch.
Jenny was extremely possessive for toys and if we had bought a new dog bed, she would immediately claim it. Her breeder told me that she would even do that if you’d give her a new lead, and he was right, she did. Jenny was a little crazy. Slowly, things got better and now she even likes puppies in her own strange way. Puppies really learn very quickly that they shouldn’t mock with auntie Jenny, quite a good lesson for them. In real life they will certainly find out that you simply can’t approach just any dog. No, auntie Jenny really isn’t that crazy.
