Notes: En 1897 il exposa M. Boulot, même type de chien, tête excellente, oreilles bien placées, un peu longues peut-être. Il fut jugé le meilleur chien d'Amérique de cette époque. Boulot avait reçu le diplôme d'honneur à Paris en 1896.
G.N. Phelps, a Boston dog dealer and importer of the tulip eared treasures was left lamenting. His entries (none valued at less than $750 with his Monsieur Boulot being catalogued at $2,000) didn't win any official accolades.

The judge's decisions stuck in the gullet of the landed gentry to whom the Frenchies had become so dear.
