    I have to pick a new puppy.

    Well I found out today that the puppy I had picked out is not healthy and Iā€™ve got to pick another. I donā€™t care for any of the other females and I donā€™t want to wait until next year.. I think maybe Iā€™m just meant to have a male.. I have picked out two males. There is one deposit ahead of me so...

    Jackson is GROWING!

    Hello all! Jackson's brother came to visit him yesterday, and I could not believe how big Jackson was compared to Ruger! Jackson was the runt of the litter and was almost 3 lbs lighter than Ruger when we picked them up. Jackson is a chubbo next to Ruger and has matched his height. We brought...

    Nightly Potty Question

    Jackson is now 10 weeks old and just the love of our lives! :DHe has adjusted very well, is thriving on Fromm's Puppy kibble and we can just see him growing! I am home all day with him, and take him out very often for potty breaks. He has even started sitting at the door ( on occasion) when he...

    Are you familiar with this training technique?

    I subscribed on U-tube to Zak Georgeā€™s dog training. He uses the clicker and reward method. It appears that heā€™s very successful. Iā€™ve not owned an English bulldog before but I was thinking of going this route with my new puppy... advice?

    Interviewing veterinarians

    So I have used the same veterinarian for all my critters (which have been numerous) for the past 18 years... The problem - we moved to a different town in 2013 and itā€™s now almost a two hour drive for me. They are excellent with my horses and with my labs ( who are now senior citizens). I will...

    10 month old with terrible skin problem

    For the first 6-7 months he was perfectly healthy and out of nowhere my sweet baby started developing papules/pustules all over his body. These are filled with a little bit of pus but mainly blood and tend to be dark colored. (They pop when he plays with his big brother Zeus who is a boxer) They...

    Puppy feeding questions!

    I can't believe how much I have forgotten about puppies!!:blush2: Breeder told me to feed Jackson 1 to 1-1/2 cups PER meal- 3 meals a day. First night, I put in 11/2 cups and he barely ate half. Next morning, tried 1 cup and he ate only barely 3/4 of it. Lunch seems to be the time he eats the...

    Bogey Part 2!!

    Don't ever think you can go help your son pick out a puppy, and think you are getting away! This is Jackson, one of the 2 pups Todd and Katy could not decide between, thus, enter Ken and I. Jackson is very small, a little timid but oh so very sweet! Ken fell in love with him (me too) but we...

    Bulldogs + Heat

    A buddy of mine just loves our boys. He used to come and see me but now itā€™s the dogs. He said I work with a guy that bought a bulldog puppy. He said he loves taking his puppy on long walks. I said really? Call him I want to talk to him. He said why do you want to talk to him. I said he is a...

    Getting closer

    I took the EBN advice on ice tray yogurt treats for the boys. The first round I found I had too much yogurt in the ice cubes when I gave the blueberries a plunge. Not good. It went everywhere. Round 2. Those suckers are really hard getting out of the ice cubes. The hammer didnā€™t help. When I got...

    9 week old puppy w/yeast infections

    So, Iā€™ve had my puppy for about a week and a half. We started off with a lot of diarrhea issues and I took him to the vet on the 15th with a conclusion of maybe stress diarrhea.

    Hey everybody. Here's a little background first. I got my bulldog whopper when he was 3. He's 5 now. He's a pretty good dog but he is food aggressive if I try to pick up his food bowl or touch him while he's eating and every once in awhile he can be slightly resource aggressive. He has never...
