Hello

[rachelynn]

Hello all. I'm Rachel and will be Duke's new mommy We are living in Kansas for now. I'm completely new to the EB community but trying to learn as much as I can before bringing Duke home. He will be home closer to the end of February. I've wanted an EB for about 15 years now and I'm finally getting him! I have a human child and a hubby in the Army.
Thanks for welcoming me onto the board!

Welcome to the forums, Rachel! Here you can learn about everything bulldog- be sure to check out the article on bringing home a new puppy, although I'm pretty sure you already have.

Bulldogs are so awesome. I bet the anticipation for bringing little Duke home is high! Did the breeder provide you with any pictures yet?

The next three or four weeks will be looooong! Ha! We named Bauer several weeks before we were able to pick him up but they started calling him by his name we had picked.

to EBN........ read read read and ask questions. Bully puppies can be a challenge but everyone here on EBN is willing to offer you advice and direction to make it a pleasant experience. The rewards are wonderful tho; these crazy animals are almost beyond description. I get up every day, look at HRH , and smile. Oh, and dont forget the camera... we looooove pix!! LOL

Welcome Rachel! Congratulations on getting Duke! We love to get pictures!

 

[rachelynn]

Thank you all I'm sure to be full of questions as I have never owned an EB and like to be fully informed on everything. I have one picture of him for now but once he gets home there will be loads of pictures!

Welcome to the community. I'm new here myself but the people here are great. Even though I've had a bulldog before I'm amazed at what I didn't know. My advice (that I'm taking myself) is read, read, read. There is so much information here....I wish I would have found about EBN when I had my first bully.

I also wanted to thank you and your husband for your service. Yes...thank YOU too. My wife and I both retired from the Army last year. I served 24 years and my wife 28, and we understand the amount of sacrifice and effort it takes the military spouse to carry things on while not trying, but BEING mommy AND daddy of the household. We're proud of both of you.......HOOOOAAAAHHHH!!!!

Welcome! Fasten your seat belt its a bumpy ride! Having a puppy is a lot of work but so worth it! I bought everything on the list on the puppy page here and bought good food so I had the supplies but its just like with a skin baby you really don't know tell you get home with the puppy how its going to be! I get my new girl on Valentines day and I have Lola who is almost 9 months, I know whats ahead of me and so excited about! I bet you can't wait to bring your little guy home! This site is full of wonderful information and full of caring people that are always whiling to help!
