I adopted my Schmidt 6 years ago when he was born into a litter of 3 which is unusual for Frenchies. Out of his litter he was the 2nd largest, but the biggest in my heart. He has been with me since I could hold him in one hand. He has weird Allergies to gluten, potatoes and a whole bunch of other stuff. He has dermatitis so he has spot where his skin has flare ups but it gotten much better since moving to Excelsior Springs. He is in love with big dogs and loves to play with other dogs. My sister has a big German shepherd mix and he obsessed with her. He might be an old frenchman but he still has a whole bunch of pep in his step.
