Hi, my name's Danny and this is Samson (as a little pup and now)..... View attachment 15786

I've had him since he was 9 weeks. He'll be 9 months on the 15th. He was so much fun that my wife and I couldn't resist getting his little 1/2 sister "Baby Girl," Lil Miss Gia Mae....

.... They are def a handful together, but worth it. Right now, Gia is with her momma in Jacksonville, FL, but regular visits are made as often as possible so we can all see each other. Just yesterday she went through surgery on her eyes, but is doing great! She's def a happy-go-lucky kinda pup, as is Samson. Samson has had a few issues himself the past month, but nothing too serious. He broke out with a yeast infections on his paws, in his ears, and in the roll of his tail (not quite in the pocket as it's pretty shallow, but he has a more cinna-bun shaped tail). He's doing much better as of lately and clearing up real nice. After reading the site's top ranked foods and a few threads that I've found, I've decided to switch him from TOTW to Nature's Variety (Grain free, Salmon meal) in an attempt to prevent it from being a major ongoing problem as there is no unwanted grains AND no potatoes. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcomed as we figure out the perfect diet for him (he refuses to eat the Nature's Variety without a small dollop of yogurt and/or pumpkin). I must admit though, he has developed pretty good eating habits- because of the treats and grain free food I've almost always fed him, he refuses to eat simple treats like milk-bones and such and will only eat fresh cut veggies that I prepare and freeze in a zip lock bag for him and grain free/limited indgredient treats. He won't even pay any attention to other animals dog bowls when we are visiting friends lol!! Anyway, he's extremely playful and loves all animals and people, especially the ladies and children. He's also very athletic for a bulldog, in my opinion, and has taken a liking to skateboards! He doesn't quite sketboard yet as I'm waiting for our next vet visit (I'd like to have his hind legs and hips checked out as a precaution since he is still growing and seems to have a skinnier back end :/), plus I haven't found him one big enough for his build. He's a BIG 64lbs. of muscle and still growing! His father, Titus, was a monster as well with a big ole head. I believe he was about 72-75lbs. I imagine Samson will either be around the same or bigger! This is Samson's father below....

Well, I'll go ahead and wrap this looooooong intro up. I'm super excited about finding this site and am sure I'll have plenty of questions for all of you in the future!
Properly trained, a man can be a BULLdog's best friend.
