    Thanks Rosie Joe,

    I contacted him by email and no response. I did phone him and he said he would send a list but haven't heard back.

    Was hoping someone might have some first hand experience or even tell me who to avoid.
    Thanks for your help

    Celtic mist and Red Oak kennels were two of the kennels recommended to us. One is in Monaghan and one is in Wexford, can't remember which. I deleted the email with their contact details but if you google them you will find them. The one in the north currently has pups.

    I don't have any recommendations for a breeder just wanted to advise you to do plenty of research into the breed and which ever breeder you end up going for.

    There's a thread only a few down from yours that talks about the multitude of problems that flat faced breeds have. They've been continually bred in the knowledge that they will have health problems, so much so that people now consider difficulty breathing to be a "normal" Frenchie thing. It's not normal at all. The flat face is a deformity that causes a multitude of health problems and to carry on breeding these deformed dogs seems incredibly irresponsible and selfish to me.

    Please make sure you know what are letting yourself and the pup in for.
