Astonpride (Richard and Kennedy Aston) is a 5-star licensed kennel and Kennel Club Assured Breeder known for French Bulldogs and Bullmastiffs. With decades of involvement in show dogs, the Astons have made multiple champions in other breeds (Bullmastiffs and Japanese Spitz) and brought that expertise to their French Bulldog program. Their breeding prioritizes temperament and conformation, and their facilities have been inspected by the local authority and “passed with full marks” for welfare. Astonpride’s Frenchies are bred from health-tested parents, and the kennel follows all recommended health screening (they note all Frenchie litters have parents tested). They are active members of breed clubs and even serve in leadership roles (Richard is a breed club secretary), underscoring their commitment to ethics. Puppies are born and raised in a family setting, well-socialized from an early age.

Mactawbay French Bulldogs is a small hobby show breeder on the south coast of England run by Sam and Mark Watkins-McGowan. They have been involved in showing and breeding dogs for about 15 years and obtained their first French Bulldog in 2014. As dedicated show enthusiasts, Mactawbay’s Frenchies come from some of the finest bloodlines, and they have already produced multiple show champions. Health is a top priority, Mactawbay follows all recommended health testing schemes. All their French Bulldog breeding dogs are tested and DNA-cleared for hereditary cataracts, plus screened for patellar (knee) issues. Puppies are whelped and raised in their home and are occasionally available “to loving pet homes” when they plan a litter. Mactawbay emphasizes that their dogs are family members first, with show competitions as a hobby they enjoy together. Their commitment to quality is evident: they only breed when seeking a new show prospect, ensuring each litter is well thought out and puppies are superbly socialized. The kennel has earned respect in the Frenchie show circuit, even producing the UK’s first French Bulldog to earn an Agility Championship title, a testament to the health and athleticism of their breeding. Mactawbay’s website and gallery proudly showcase their dogs excelling both in the show ring and as beloved pets.
