FRENCH BRED: JACK’S THE LAD

- KIRSTIN PAYNE kisten.payne@news.com.au

JACK might just be the Gold Coast’s biggest stud.

When he isn’t snoozing, enjoying pats or a run on the beach, Jack the french bulldog spends many of his days romancing female frenchies from far and wide.

The Insta-famous stud dog has 10,000-plus followers and a solid reputation as a canine casanova.

Sought after for his rare, Hawaiian Hungarian bloodline, the three-year-old Jack is in big demand.

His owner, personal trainer Stacey Hosking, said he was picky when it came to finding a partner for Jack.

“We select carefully, I like to know they are cared for and have a loving home,” he said. “I get a lot of inquiries on Instagram, but they’re not suitable.”

Stud fees can fetch an owner anywhere from $2000$5000, depending on the line.

Mr Hosking said the pintsized stud attracted attention everywhere the pair went.

“People love him,” he said. “He is a bit of a snob actually, he doesn’t really like blokes, he is more of a ladies’ man.”

Mr Hosking said he had not originally been a fan of the breed, but had been won over by their personalit­y.

“I have never really liked small dogs,” he said.

“But frenchies are chilled characters, like little humans.”

The pair can often be seen gathering a small crowd during outings together at Marina Mirage and Broadbeach.
