Product Description

With their prominent jowls and furrowed brows, French Bulldogs may look a little like Winston Churchill. But when a Frenchie raises his broad, sweet face for a kiss, you know you've never seen a more appealing sight.

Frenchie lovers will quickly testify to the undying loyalty of this little dog with big bat ears and a most curious expression. With the wisdom of an old soul in his eyes-and his endearing, satisfied snore-this playful and sometimes stubborn little pooch has a big heart and a personality all his own.

A clown always ready for tricks, the French Bulldog laughs with his whole body and is a big part of his human family. Frenchie Kisses captures the spirit of this one-of-a-kind breed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfection, June 11, 2005

By	Daniel (California) - See all my reviews

I'm a bookseller at Barnes & Noble, and this book has made the rounds among the cashiers, hiding out behind the desk! There's something very Zen about these photographs, about the dogs themselves, and the captions are very funny and endearing. Why am I writing a review for Amazon when I work for Barnes & Noble?? Because this is a beautiful and captivating book, a funny book, and if you're not already a dog lover, this book will make you one. This one made it into my personal collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frenchie Kisses, May 1, 2005

By	M.L. Maluy "Gable's mom" (NYC,NY) - See all my reviews

You might think I'm a bit prejudiced being that "My Boy" made the cut and is featured within the pages of this book, but that aside, "Frenchie Kisses" is a wonderful photographic essay of this very interesting and adorable breed. Amanda Jones' pictures perfectly capture the allure, humor and beauty of these little "ugly ducklings." If you're lucky enough to be a Frenchie owner, or just a connosieur of dogs, this book should be in your collection.

As a Frenchie owner, breeder and show person for more than 30 years, I love the breed. The photos in this book are endearing to any Frenchie fancier.
