A Note About Our Application Process
We no longer maintain a waiting list. What this means is that we no longer retain inquiries from interested purchasers indefinately, since we always suggest that, since we breed so infrequently, you should feel welcome to look at other sources for your potential puppy, rather than waiting on one from us. Our new application process is as follows:
Subscribe to our low volume mailing list. You'll find details on doing so at http://lists.frenchbulldogz.org/listinfo.cgi/absolutbullmarket-frenchbulldogz.org
The mailing list is used to make announcements regarding planned litters, whelped litters, and available puppies. We'll also use it to occasionally announce puppies which other breeders we respect have available. It is very low volume, and you are welcome to unsubscribe at any time - say, for example, if you find a puppy from another breeder.
Once we have announced that we have a puppy available for placement to a good home, we'll then request that anyone interested fill out a placement application, and send us a personal email message to follow up the application. At this time, we'll begin considering applications, in an attempt to find the best possible home for each puppy.
We have adopted this method of puppy placements because it's simply become impossible for us to spend the time needed corresponding with every person who contacts us potentially looking for a puppy. We're worried that our time contrastraints are causing us to miss wonderful homes, because we didn't have a chance to follow up on their application. We also are hesitant to contact people who have submitted applications months or even years beforehand. Since we don't breed dogs for a living, keeping track of all of the applications we receive has become a monumental challenge and strain on our available time. We want to make sure that anyone interested in a puppy from us is aware when we have pups available. We hope this new process will make that more possible.
If you have submitted an application form to us in the past, we will endeavour to keep in touch with you - however, we still strongly urge you to subscribe to our mailing list, so that your application is not overlooked accidentally.
