So, I'm a soon-to-be bully momma!! We've purchased our first bully, and we decided to get two of them! We got a boy and a girl. We pick Gus up from the airport tomorrow, and we will get Piper in about a month (she's still too little to come home). We paid for them to be flown with a flight nanny, so they will be held the whole plane ride in their own little room. We're very excited and can't wait to get them. Here's a few pictures that the breeder was awesome enough to take for us a couple days ago before they were separated.

Any suggestions you all may have for new bully parents, we're all ears!! And yes, we have more pictures, and she's kept us up with videos. But after talking to and researching 12 breeders, this is the one we were happiest with. She's a 10 hours drive (one way) away from us. We verified her through AKC, and she has excellent reviews (both on and off her FB page). She's been wonderful and very helpful. So, feel free to load us up with information, tips, tricks, suggestions, or anything else you want to throw in here. Big or small, they're all welcome :) We've done TOOOONS of research. Many say that a bully's personality is priceless and one of a kind...we just can't wait to experience it for ourselves.

Welcome! They are just adorable! And it is so true about them having a one of A kind personality (so you will more than likely have two different personalities) lol
I am a first time Bulldog owner for the last Year myself and absolutely wouldn't know what to do without my Bella. Soooooooooo..........Get ready for lots of laughs. I can't wait to see and hear about your new family's members.
Everyone here at the EB forum will be so helpful with anything you may need answers to or advice on.

So precious! With two EBDs you may want to think about/investigate insurance for them or at least having an account set aside for any medical issues that might come up. We're new to EBDs also and I can't tell you how thankful I am that we purchased insurance. If you register them with the AKC you automatically get 30 days of insurance and then you compare and price other plans before making any commitments. The only other advice I have is read everything you can get your hands on, absorb all the wealth EBN has to offer... and most importantly... ENJOY them!

Welcome! You have come to the right place - there is a lot of info on this forum and many knowledgable bulldog owners to help out when you have questions!

My advice at this stage is to cuddle and interact with the pups much when they are young so that they bond with you. Let them sleep in a basket near your bed so that you can calm them if they cry the first nights after having been separated from their mum and so that you can take them out easily during night. To pottytrain them, set up a schedule (take them out once an hour and right after sleep, eat and play; then every second hour, etc.). I have no experience of two pups but hopefully Gus will be able to help you train Piper when she arrives!

2. If you haven't yet, start deciding on what your gonna feed your babies, you'll find lots of opinions and advice here
