Hello everyone,
I have been browsing the forums for weeks now and am amazedat the wealth of information offered by all the experienced bulldog owners outthere. I am days away from bringing homean 8 week old bully that I have named Winston, and due to being a first timebulldog owner, have been trying to gain as much information as I can to makehis homecoming and new experience as smooth and enjoyable as I can.
By reading everyone’s input and suggestions I think I havedecided on trying Fromm puppy as a lot of people seem to have had good luckwith it. That being said, I am going tohave to make the transition (after a couple of weeks home) from the dog food heis currently on. He has been on dry kibblefor almost two weeks now and the breeder has been using Activa puppy and sayshe is doing well on it. Has anyone triedActiva before and should I even try changing if he is doing well with it? I understand bully’s are very susceptible toallergies and don’t want to disrupt anything.
I also plan on having a wire crate for him and beginningcrate training right off the bat in order to further the potty training processalong. Can anyone suggest whether or notto keep the crate inside a playpen vs. keeping the playpen separate? I cannot be home 24/7 so I would like to havehim comfortable inside his kennel but at the same time don’t want to hinderhousebreaking either.
Trying not to write a book here on all the aspects of bullycare but I just wanted to ask these few questions and get some advice onanything a new bully owner may need to know, especially in the beginning.
Just a few more days!
