WEBSITE UPDATES CONTINUE TO GROW!

Our CIO/Webmaster Courtney Byman continues to impress us with his due diligence in getting all the updates done in a timely manner*. Courtney has worked tirelessly to make our DDB web site the most comprehensive on the world-wide web. Unlike so many other DDB web sites that feature a few photos & a few pages with little relevant information on our beloved breed, Courtney has created a historical overview of our award winning program for all to view.

In addition to completely rewriting all of the code on our site, he has made it much more user friendly with icons such as the paw prints which designate pages that feature photos. A new site map has been made up & published on the site for your usage as well.

Our site now features around 750 photos of our beloved Dogue De Bordeauxs. Our goal of 1000 + photos that will illustrate the progression of our program over the last 12 years of breeding is just around the corner! Check back often as Courtney seems to work on our web site daily, always surprising us with new changes.

We cannot thank Court enough for all the work he has put into our new site. He has put in an excess of 400 + hours as of now, with more time slated to populate all the pages with more photos.

Over 200 new photos alone have been published on the Training Classes & Child Zone pages over the past couple of weeks! Visit these pages to see some of our very proud family working their Von Krenz 'kids' in the show ring as well as all the wonderful photos of our four-legged 'kids' with their children counterparts!

Some of the other updates/changes include; new menu bar (Testimonials, New Clients, Extended Family, Child Zone, Senior Dogues, Rainbow Bridge, Awards & Events, Community Service, Training Classes, Get Together's& Site Map), new "Meet Our Dogues" updates, with 53 NEW pages with 45 plus pages devoted to our Dogue De Bordeauxs and many more photos added throughout the web site

New photos of "Therapy Dogues" are now published!

A new functioning "Guest Book", so please, feel free to sign our "Guest Book", we truly look forward to reading your entries.

* Text & caption updates are not done by our webmaster, so please be patient while one of our other devoted volunteers works on getting those updates done.
