The Lionmark Legacy: Decades of Dedication to Exceptional French Bulldogs
Welcome to Lionmark Frenchies, your premier source for world-class AKC French Bulldogs in Louisville, KY. Our story is built on decades of hands-on experience and a relentless pursuit of excellence, all founded by Kris Johnson. Kris’s journey began in the 1990s with a 20-year focus on Dobermans, where he honed his skills as an owner-handler and achieved the prestigious AKC Doberman Breeder of Merit title in 2014. This rich history and deep-seated expertise are now fully dedicated to the French Bulldog breed.
At our core, we believe that breeding is a profound responsibility, not a shortcut. We’re a home-first, quality-driven program—not a kennel—that is built to elevate the standard of AKC French Bulldogs in the U.S. Every Lionmark Frenchie is nurtured, socialized, and raised in our loving home, receiving around-the-clock care. This meticulous, hands-on approach ensures that every puppy is a well-adjusted, confident, and affectionate companion, ready to thrive in their new home.
Our Commitment: Breeding with Purpose and Heart
As a leading AKC French Bulldog breeder, we are committed to enhancing the breed through a careful and ethical approach.
Champion Bloodlines: We specialize in breeding Frenchies from AKC standard-bred bloodlines, carefully selected for their health, structure, and temperament. Our sires and dams, many with champion titles and show lineage, are DNA tested and health-screened to ensure soundness in every generation. This meticulous process ensures that our dogs are a true reflection of excellence.
Ethical Breeding: We never cut corners. Every pairing is planned, and every pup is given the best start possible. Health is non-negotiable, and transparency is key. We keep families informed every step of the way, from birth to placement, providing lifetime breeder support to ensure a seamless transition and a lifetime of happiness.
The Lionmark Family: Our dogs carry more than just pedigrees—they carry a story. From our cornerstone sire, Kona, to our cherished females like Jewel, Yarra, Chica, and Zella, every dog has a vital role in shaping the next chapter of our legacy. With each litter, we build on what came before, refining health, preserving temperament, and honoring the breed standard.
Choosing a breeder is about trust. When you choose Lionmark, you’re not just getting a puppy—you’re joining a family that puts the breed first. We’re here to help you meet your next best friend, the Lionmark way.
