[MENTION=4321]cornelia[/MENTION] you MUST tell us your secret for keeping this boy so handsome and spry at the age of 13! Besides the fact that you can take dogs anywhere you like there in Germany. I loved that about my visit in 2006!! We took my friends dog to restaurants, everywhere, it was amazing. Thanks so much for sharing about your precious boys life. Awesome post for sure!

Hi Carmin

Well, at first Fero has a basicly healthy condition. His owners, our friends (on one of the pics you see Fero with his mom Sabrina)
visited a lot of breeders and checked out the parents of the puppies thoroughly for their vitality and character.
And so they formed a favourable opinion of Fero' breeder before buying him.

Sabrina and Stefan have a good eye for anything unusual with their Bulldogs and then consult their Special-Bulldog-Vet (Peter).
Example: a few years ago Fero was breathing shallowly and their vet found a minor heart problem early, so Fero got a heart-support medicine for a while until his heart stabilised.
Another example : 2 years ago he appeared to be tiring easily and the vet diagnosed a beginning spleen tumour. It was early enough and so the spleen was removed and Fero was healthy again.
Fero's people take it upon themselves to drive 4 hours to Peter, one of the best bulldog-vets in Germany, so as to not take any risks.
(We are lucky, this vet practices only 10 miles away from us.)


By the way, I can´t understand why vets are soooo expensive in USA. Example: "seanjiujitsu" wrote earlier in this forum, that an OP on the urinary tract costs minimum $3300.
In Germany it costs inclusive medicine and 2 days observation in the clinic about 1100 Euros, circa $1400, i.e. less than half.....

Fero was never alone, he and the other Bulldogs are treated like the family's kids - or perhaps better :-) All sleep in a king-kingsize bed.
Sometimes Sabrina cooks for them, to avoid food being boring. And they walk every day to keep condition and a good mood.

The Rest is grace or luck.

Our Kosmo yesterday in the woods

Yes, dogs are permitted (more welcome as smokers ;-) in restaurants and hotels in Germany. Our Frieda and Kosmo enjoy this :D
