    HELP!! Marking! UGH!

    He has had a thorough check up- urine, anal glands, prepuce, etc. All normal. The water bottle may help, it's catching him in the act that is the challenge! But, will try! Thanks!

    Jacksons tail/hip

    Hi all!! We have been MIA for awhile, life just gets in the way! Trying to catch up!!! Jackson is now 2! He is so good, loving and bulldog obedient ( you know what I mean)! His last dilemma was lunging at trucks and cars, to which we got a jowl harness, and although that helped for awhile, he...

    Two puppies a month apart???

    We picked up my son's 8 week old bulldog ( he was away for a week when the pup was ready). We ended up taking his brother home with us!! So, we had 2 8 week old pups for 5 days. It really was not bad! They kept themselves ( and us) entertained, and schedules just mimicked each other! That said...

    Help Needed! 13 week old pup with intermittent raspy breathing

    When we picked Jackson up from the breeder, he too had this raspy "rattle". Not all the time, but loud enough to really notice it! Breeder ( who is VERY reputable) assured me that he was checked thoroughly at her vets the day before, he heard the rasp and could not find anything wrong. Lungs...

    Pros and cons of a 2nd bulldog

    My son's bulldog (Bogey) was 7 when they decided to get another pup ( from the same breeder we got Bogey). Bogey is the sweetest, gentlest dog ever-except with other bulldogs! He showed some aggression with other bulldogs. He also is very toy possessive. These things bothered me a bit, but my...

    Help

    Jackson has a very deep, growly bark- he sounds SO ferocious! When we walk, he will bark like that at other dogs, but if they greet each other, he is absolutely fine. Of course I always ask the other owner if they can meet, and assure them that his bark is just that. He has NEVER shown 1 iota of...

    frustrated and sad

    In all my years of puppy ownership, I have NEVER encountered an "aggressive" 11 week old puppy. There are no bad pups, but we may have bad owners. I mean that respectively. Pups, especially EBD pups are wild, headstrong, nippy, and will be out of control if allowed. It is worse with kids in the...

    What’s your opinion and what do you say about bulldog health issues ?

    Absolutely agree with all above! A reputable breeder is a MUST! No pet stores, puppy mills or backyard breeders allowed!! We have 3 bullies from the same breeder. Bogey is 8. Some allergy issues ( mild) but othrwise very healthy. My son's vet said he has never seen a bully in better shape than...
