Why You Need a Puppy Play Yard

A puppy play yard is a great piece of puppy equipment It’s perfect for anyone who can’t spend their whole day watching a puppy but doesn’t want to leave them in a crate. We use ours for potty training, and to contain a puppy without restricting them to their crates

Finding a Good Vet for a Healthy Bulldog

Every pet owner needs to find a good vet to make sure their pet stays as healthy as possible. For an English Bulldog owner, there is an added layer of complexity. Because Bulldogs commonly have health issues, many vets have the policy to perform surgeries on things like pinched nostrils. Bulldogs also have more problems with anesthesia. In the case that they do need surgery, too much anesthesia can be dangerous. We have spent years breeding Bulldogs who are healthy. That means they are less likely to need surgery for pinched nostrils. That’s why we recommend finding a Bulldog specialist or a vet who sees a lot of them. Someone who is familiar with Bulldogs will know what they should and shouldn’t look like. They are less likely to misdiagnose your dog based on stereotypes and will know how to use the right amount of anesthesia if they do need to perform surgery.

A puppy and child relationship is beautiful and special. We love to see a bulldog who grows up with a close bond to their families. However, if a bulldog has a bad experience with children, it may cause them to be wary of children in the future. It’s especially likely if it happens when they are young, or if it is the only experience they have had with children. That’s why, if you have children, you should prepare and make sure that your puppy can have the best experience in your home.

What is a Dog Breeder’s Job?

In general terms, a dog breeder’s job is to breed dogs. However, we consider our job to be solving problems, both for the adopter and within the breed. All the decisions we make revolve around the final adopter, who that person is, and what they need from us. For us, our ideal final adopter is someone who has always wanted a bulldog. We want to help the people who have always wanted a bulldog, or the people who have lost a bulldog in the past and are ready to adopt again. Our adopter is someone who will love and care for a bulldog for its whole life. So, because we work for the end adopter, we have to look at the strengths and weaknesses of the dogs in our breeding program as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the breed as a whole.

How to Give Your Bulldog Puppy a Bath

Once your new puppy is home, you’re going to need to start giving them baths. It’s not just to keep them clean, it’s also a valuable socialization tool. The more consistent you are with bathtime now, the easier it will be to give your bulldog puppy a bath as they get older.
Before you start, make sure you have everything you need right next to the sink or bathtub where you intend to bathe your dog. It’s not safe to leave a puppy alone in the sink, and no one wants to carry around a wet dog while they search for the shampoo. What you’ll need will depend on your bathtime routine, but the things we use are: A mat to keep your puppy from slipping We use a bathmat cut to the size of our sink, but a towel will work. Shampoo We recommend Perfect Coat. We use it for all our puppies and have not seen any allergic reactions. Ear wash A bath thermometer A cup or sink sprayer Lukewarm water

Potty Training Your Bulldog Puppy

Whether it’s the toddler or puppy running around your house, potty training often receives a groan of exasperation. It can be frustrating and feel like a long process, to potty train your new English Bulldog puppy. With discipline and dedication, a new bulldog puppy should master the potty training process in a few weeks. As English Bulldog breeders focused on the health and wellbeing of our bulldogs, we encourage our adopters to implement potty training methods focusing on the instinctual patterns of your bulldog puppy. Old methods such as verbal and physical abuse aren’t effective or desirable training methods. Instead, focus on what your bulldog puppy can and cannot do at this point in their life.
A ten-week-old bulldog puppy can hold its bladder for about 3-hour intervals. A potty training regiment should be built off of this constraint. Adopters should create a schedule that allows for their new puppy to have outdoor access about every 2.5 to 3 hours early on in its life. As their bulldog puppy grows, so too does their bladder capacity and needed potty intervals. The more consistent and dedicated each adopter is to a potty interval, the more quickly a bulldog puppy will successfully become potty trained.

Feeding Your Bulldog Puppy

fter much research and many phone calls to manufacturers, we decided to go with Diamond Puppy/Adult food. This decision came after many years of using Royal Canin which we were mostly happy with. We felt that we should find a food formulated for our Bulldog moms. Diamond puppy food is specifically designed for pregnant, nursing moms, and puppies. It exceeds the minimum amount of calcium and phosphorus that a pregnant and nursing mom needs. I include that information to help you understand why we have chosen Diamond. While weaning, our moms and puppies are sharing food so naturally, the puppies are also eating Diamond. Although we do love Diamond food we do not require our adopters to continue on with it if they choose not to. There are various reasons that an adopter may choose a different food and one of the main reasons is the availability of Diamond in their area. We do also recommend Royal Canin and Taste of The Wild, which you can usually find near cities and through local pet supply stores. It isn’t ideal to always have to order your dog food online which is why we encourage our adopters to do their research before bringing their puppy home. Our puppy package will include a small package of Diamond puppy food. The food can be mixed with the other brands that we recommend. Mixing the foods together will help ease the transition and be gentler on your puppy’s stomach. Once you are home with our new puppy we recommend doing feedings three times a day. Below is an idea of feeding times but you can adjust it to fit your work/sleep schedule. The amount of food you will be feeding will depend on the age and size of your puppy is when you take him/her home. This is something we will go over when you pick up. First feeding 7 am Second feeding 11 am Third feeding 4 pm We recommend your puppy’s last meal should be by 5 pm at the latest. This will give them lots of opportunities to “clear out their system” before bedtime. Many times when a puppy is struggling with accidents during the night it is because of eating too close to bedtime.

Why The AKC Must Change to Save the Bulldog Breed

Ever feel like the rules are stacked against you? Like you literally cannot win no matter how hard you try? Recently, I took a trip to beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada – the land of fun and fantasy. The buildings, food, and even the shows are dripping with luxurious entertainment. It’s easy to forget that Las Vegas is simply a business model with rules designed to take money out of your wallet. We are drawn to the allure of winning big, but casinos are simply another algorithm for making money. The rules mean that there are many losers and just enough winners to keep everyone playing. Its science really, human emotion and probability. Casino owners are always going to be the big winner because that is what the rules dictate. So what does a bulldog puppy have to do with Las Vegas? Ever consider who creates the rules for bulldog breeding? Who dictates what the bulldog breed should look like? What would a poorly bred bulldog look like? Even a better question, what should an ethically bred English bulldog look like? It’s a complex question. However, we can make a good argument that the breed standards of the American Kennel Club shape the bulldog breed. The AKC is many things: gatekeeper of the purebred dog, generator of canine show culture, and registrar of canine genealogy. The club has been instrumental in the formation of modern purebred breeds. Largely this has been a good thing. Breed standards are important as are a culture that reinforces them. Most modern dog breeds have benefited greatly from the guidance that the American Kennel Club provides. .
