Have you ever SEEN a speckled Frenchie? If not, you are in for a treat. Daisy Anne is a rare bespeckled jewel, and she’s as spotty as a speckled egg! As if that weren’t enough, she sports classic facial markings that just scream BULLDOG! and has the permanent grin of a Cheshire Cat. Where’s that application? Sign me up!

There’s more to Daisy Anne than her spots and her grin, of course, and though approximately 100% of everybody who meets her wants to take her home, it’s important to know all about a frog before taking the leap. Frenchie girls are more than just pretty faces, you know.

Daisy Anne is a Frenchie Girl through and through, and in the spectrum of Frenchie Girl behavior, she tends toward the very Frenchiest. By that we mean she can be a little nervous and headstrong and she needs a strong leader, lest she slide down the slippery slope toward Lindsay Lohanville. She didn’t get along well with the dogs in her former home and her people realized they had neither the time nor temperament to bring out her best behavior. If you have a firm and patient way with dogs, you could have spots in your future.

Daisy Anne is as healthy as a pinto pony and loves to gallop around like one, too. She has lots of zoomy energy and one of the keys to her success will be plenty of regular exercise and play. Despite her zoominess (or maybe because of it) she gets along like gangbusters with children of all ages, and is actually very gentle with them. As long as you have the bandwidth to successfully handle kids AND frogs, Daisy Anne could fit right in. And she’s not all wild rumpus girl either– when playtime is over she settles in next to you to hug and kiss, and cuddle and coo.

“No cats allowed” reads the sign over Daisy Anne’s door, and she’s somewhat nervous around other dogs, taking some time to get acquainted and relax. If she is to live with another dog it’s important that she have a strong pack leader, and that the other dog be confident and easygoing. She seems to prefer smaller dogs to large ones and has learned to coexist with the two French bulldogs in her foster home (one bossy, one mellow.)

Daisy Anne is crate trained, knows how to “sit” and walks nicely on a lead. She is housebroken except for a few marking instances in places where some other dog had the same idea. She displays some food aggression and resource guarding from other dogs. (Nylabones she will guard, stuffies she won’t.) Daisy Anne still needs to work on her confidence and live with a family that understands the basics of good pack leadership.

Daisy Anne would be a great addition to a family or a single person household. If she goes to a family, all family members must be on board with a regime of exercise and gentle discipline for Daisy to succeed. She has no health concerns and would be great with a first time Frenchie owner, but not a novice dog owner. Daisy Anne is a lot of dog in a small package. She would love a stay at home person, of course, but a working family would work, too, as long as she gets exercised daily and is given a mid-day potty break. In foster care she enjoys accompanying her foster mom to the office.

Daisy will bark at the fence and should not be left unsupervised in a yard. No invisible fences, please. Daisy would be fine in an apartment or a house and could be a city mouse or a country mouse.

Here’s what her foster mom has to say: “Daisy Anne has been a pleasure to foster. She is sweet, affectionate, playful and has the sweetest little grin. She will make someone a wonderful companion.”

If you have been longing for a spectacular spotted Frenchie with a million dollar grin and have the chops to keep up with her, apply for Daisy Anne straight away. Plan to bring your egg basket to the Pacific Northwest, as that’s where Daisy Anne makes her nest. Speckled eggs don’t ship!
