Valley Made Frenchies: more than a kennel
Valley Made Frenchies LLC is not just a breeder—it is a movement. The handler behind the brand, often called Mr. Valley Made, has built a reputation for bringing energy from the yard to the show ring and back to the community. A recent profile on Threads noted that the team is “out here building culture, moving the community, and setting the tone”. They describe Valley Made Frenchies as a standard and a brand that dares to be different, with quality, consistency, and pressure in every interaction. This commitment to authenticity and community-building sets the stage for their flagship event: the Bully Rumble.
Bully Rumble 6.0: an annual fun show and stack‑off
The Bully Rumble has become one of Arizona’s major Frenchie and bully shows. The 2026 edition—Bully Rumble 6.0—is scheduled for 21 November 2026 at Bourgade Catholic High School, 4602 N 31st Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85017. The event poster describes it as a mega fun show and stack‑off, promising a movie‑level show for attendees. Previous editions (such as Bully Rumble 4 in 2024) were hosted by Valley Made Frenchies at the same venue and included sanctioned competitions for American Bully, English Bulldog, French Bulldog and Exotic Bully breeds. Typical admission fees in earlier years were $30 for adults, $10 per dog, with children under 12 free and ring‑side booth fees around $300. The 2026 show continues the tradition but also introduces a new format: the World Bully Registry (WBR) will not sanction the event—a departure announced by Valley Made Frenchies to underscore their independence and focus on community‑driven judging.
In previous years the Bully Rumble has offered breed classes, vendor booths and live entertainment, turning the show into a regional festival. The 6.0 edition hints at even bigger stakes: a layout reveal for participants, early registration for promo spots and stack‑off categories, and a call for the community to “save the date” months in advance. The event is expected to draw kennels from across the Southwest and beyond.
Why Bully Rumble matters
For breeders and owners, the Bully Rumble is both a showcase and a networking hub. The event offers breeders the chance to present dogs in categories ranging from best structure to best temperament and to promote new studs and bloodlines. For attendees, the show provides an up‑close look at top French Bulldogs and American Bullies, access to vendors selling food and pet products, and a fun family atmosphere. The decision to run Bully Rumble 6.0 without WBR sanctioning signals that Valley Made Frenchies is confident in its ability to judge and manage the show based on community standards and quality.
Big Moo: the architect of the new generation
A central figure in the Valley Made ecosystem is Big Moo, a French Bulldog stud co-owned by Kohinoor Kennels and Fire french bullies from Firefrenchbullies SOLO bloodline. Kohinoor Kennels describes him as a 5× award‑winning “Designer Gorilla” stud, emphasizing his legendary lineage and purpose: correcting structure and adding value to every breeding program. Big Moo’s “gorilla DNA” means a short back, wide chest and extreme bone structure. He has been recognised by the community with five awards for excellence in structure and temperament, making him a proven champion for breeders. Kohinoor Kennels also notes that Moo is more than a stud—he is a strategic investment engineered to correct breed imperfections and produce high‑value offspring. The kennel provides a stud service that includes gourmet raw diets, performance supplements and a detailed nutrition e‑book to ensure optimal health and fertility.
Five awards in the ring
Big Moo’s reputation is not just based on breeding. In his first appearance in the show ring at just eight months old, he swept the competition, earning:
- Best Male
- Best Pied
- Best Micro
- Best Seuss
- Best Puppy
The handlers noted that while Moo still needs some stack training, his success demonstrates both his potential and the quality of the Fire French Bullies bloodline. This success brought “hardware back to the 520” (a nod to the Tucson area code) and underscored Kohinoor Kennels’ reputation in the community. The show also provided a break from judging for the handler, who was grateful to be back in the ring and proud to see their young stud excel. They thanked Valley Made Frenchies for organising a high‑quality show and for their hospitality, highlighting the collaborative spirit among kennels.
Fire French Bullies connection
The Fire French Bullies mentorship program, led by Jesus Lopez, offers breeders structured, one‑on‑one guidance in genetics, whelping, marketing and operational management. Testimonials on the program’s site include praise from Ruben P. of Kohinoor Kennels, who said that working with Fire French Bullies “truly elevated the quality of my French Bulldogs”. This mentorship connection explains part of Big Moo’s success: the stud is not only bred with top genetics but is supported by a network of knowledgeable mentors and nutrition experts.
Hoochie Daddy: a new chapter for Valley Made
While Big Moo’s awards highlight past achievements, Valley Made Frenchies continues to innovate. Recent posts on Threads announce a new stud, “Hoochie Daddy,” described as a big‑rope Isabella & Tan merle full‑fluffy male. Valley Made Frenchies promotes this dog as a “program changer” and is offering limited early stud lock‑ins, urging breeders to secure their spot before he is closed to public breeding. The posts emphasise exclusivity (only six or ten slots available) and encourage breeders to “apply pressure” by adding the Valley Made flavour to their programs. This marketing approach reflects Valley Made’s confidence and underscores their role as trendsetters in the Frenchie world.
A community built on collaboration
Valley Made Frenchies, Kohinoor Kennels and Fire French Bullies demonstrate how collaboration elevates the French Bulldog and bully scene in Arizona. Valley Made Frenchies provides the platform through the Bully Rumble, Kohinoor Kennels brings a star stud in Big Moo, and Fire French Bullies offers the mentorship and bloodline expertise that underpin these successes. Threads posts describe the Valley Made team as building culture and setting the tone, while the Big Moo stud page highlights the structural excellence and award‑winning pedigree that breeders seek.
With Bully Rumble 6.0 on the horizon, breeders and spectators have a date to look forward to. The show promises a larger‑than‑life celebration of French Bulldogs and American Bullies, opportunities to see champions like Big Moo, and a chance to witness the debut of the next generation of studs. Save the date—21 November 2026—and experience a community‑driven dog show that blends competition, culture and camaraderie.
