LaBête

Born February 12, 2015. His sire Hollywood was a double Parker — the concentrated American bloodline. His dam Baba was a Wham granddaughter — the European foundation. A decade of deliberate breeding converged in one dog.

First French Bulldog to achieve GCHP2 (Platinum II Grand Champion) status. #1 Non-Sporting Dog in 2018. 1,819 Grand Champion Points. First BIS July 14, 2016. Won Best of Breed at the 2022 FBDCA National Specialty — seven years into his career, after a Chagas diagnosis and a documented stroke. 900 total AKC awards.

Westminster Kennel Club: Best of Breed 2017 · Non-Sporting Group 2 in 2019 under judge Mark Kennedy.

Born September 5, 2013. La Bête's first great champion — the proof before Princeton made it history. Junior World Winner at the 2014 World Dog Show in Helsinki. Canadian and Italian Champion. FBDCA National Specialty winner 2019.

Still competing. Rubi has been shown in AKC veteran classes at the FBDCA National Specialty in 2023 and 2024, winning the Veteran 11+ class at eleven years old. She won veteran classes at Florida specialties as recently as June 2025. The die, it seems, is still being cast.

Born Halloween 2016, from Princeton's first litter as a sire. #2 French Bulldog in 2020 — completing three consecutive generations of ranked La Bête dogs: Maserati (#1 Bitch 2011) → Princeton (#1 2017–2019) → Gentry (#2 2020). Five Best in Specialty wins.

Imported from Lithuania. A daughter of UK CH Wham! von Fivelzight at Kingfriend. #1 Bitch in 2011 and 2014. Her daughter Baba became the dam of Princeton and Miura — making Maserati the matriarch of the most decorated line in La Bête history.
