I am the VERY proud parent of two English Bulldogs. Bulldogs by nature have such huge personality and they bring so much happiness to my family that I thought I'd share that with whomever is interested! Whether you're a Bulldog owner yourself, you're considering welcoming a Bulldog into your family or simply an adoring fan like I was for so long, I hope you can find some use, humor and enjoyment from this blog!

Dutchess
Both my husband and I have been fans of the breed for a very long time. We were able to introduce Dutchess into our family in 2009. If we were fans before, we are fanatics now! She's 16 months old now - but still VERY much our baby!
The one thing I always tell people if they are considering an English Bulldog as a pet - research, research, research! The English Bulldog Breed is a complicated one. There is a lot of upkeep and hygiene maintenance that must be kept up with that you don't find with your typical puppies of other breeds. But if you can commit to the responsibility you will NOT regret you choice! There is SO much information out there! Some helpful web sites I use very often are http://www.akc.org, http://www.englishbulldoghealth.com, http://www.trimbulldogs.com, and http://www.puppygal.com.
We searched breeders online for several months before deciding on a puppy to bring home. And the wait was well worth it. It was love at first sight with Dutchess! I will never forget the fist time I picked up that wiggly little bag of wrinkles!
It's hard to believe in February she turned 1 years old. She's a lot bigger now - pushing 60lbs, which is rather large for a female. She's had some of the common Bulldog issues but overall she's a very healthy, playful little cuddle-bug which I couldn't imagine life without!
