has anyone ever heared about a ENGLISH BULL RETRIEVER ???? lol
by
so my husband knows this woman who does website maintenance and such for him and she just hit us up braging about her new puppy ... !
her husband apparently always dreamed of owning a english bulldog and she got him this pupp (for christmas) telling him : "this is the closest we can get to a english bulldog"
she told us that the guy selling the pupps said that the bitch was a english bulldog and the stud a labrador !
i onestly cant even imagine how thats supposed to work out !?
weird enough you would think.... but it gets better .... she says the dog parents where both registerd lol and that the litter was 9 puppys......
he was selling the pupps on a wallmart parkinglot !!!! she payed $100 for it after talking him down from $150 .
heres the pic
she says the pupp looks mostly bulldog.... sorry but i dont see it....kinda looks like a jack russel to me.... kinda cute but still !
let me know what you guys think about it..... personally i think the guy selling the gogs was eighther a lier or a retarded person messing with dogs
about a guy selling this dogs but his price was $400 and the dogs looked like pitbulls. This is what ignorance brings people to. I can't believe that after all the things we see about not buying puppies or dogs from people like that there are people still doing it; very sad.
You are right, the puppy looks like a Jack Russell. Let's just hope that he is not sick.
that looks like a pitt bull puppy to me. However, every adorable puppy deserves a home. What a fraud, its not this little guy's fault he's been exploited.
Where I live, its illegal to sell dogs out in parking lots this way.
Hi Pat. Here are a couple of really bad videos, but chalk it up to me not being a movie producer!! Oh well, cell phones aren't just for talking anymore!
This is my mare, Missy, playing. She had just started getting into the groove:-) If you look behind her though, you will see my boys Cider and Doc chasing each other and playing:-)

GREAT NEWS!!!!! All your prayers have been answered yet again. Nadia got "clear" results on her PET scan today. We are SO relieved with this news. although they still need to determine why her AFP (tumor marker) continues to rise, there is NO evidence currently of the recurrance of cancer.
The family is definatley going to enjoy this Christmas and they also have a trip planned from Make a Wish to Disneyworld in Florida that they get to take in January.
Nadia will go back in January too to have another blood test run to see where her numbers are. We are continuing to pray for another miracle and the numbers be back to "normal".
In the meantime.....here are some pics of the "kids". I will have more to follow soon. Some of them are from this summer.
Julie and I just got back from Baltimore filming the commercial. It was scary, but they said that we did ok. I think it will be shown sometime the first of January. They said they would send me a DVD of the whole shoot and then they will send Jeff and I a copy of the commercial. I do not know where the commercial is going to "test" so please if any of you se it, please let me know. Merry Christmas to everyone!!
Bella loves to be brushed. although she sheds next to zero..
I am looking for a soothing type of brush for a bulldog
any suggestions?
just something to brush her...
I use a furminator on Gus and he needs it...lol and the pugs too
the brush that I have no is OLD OLD SCHOOL..hahhaha
might be something new out there to choose from now
I am using some old school type of terrier brush at the moment
but will definetly look at the zoom groom too and see if I can find it
thanks for that suggestion
I actually got an e-mail from a friend of mine today that, I don't think, quite appreciated the humour. He called the card "irreverant" and I don't think he quite meant that in a cute way. He is quite religious and maybe felt I shouldn't make booty jokes about this holy season.
Oh well, most people have gotten a kick out of it. Even my dad's 70-year-old lady friend called tonight to say that she thought it was "funny as all get out!"
She's been sleeping since I got home two hours ago
by
she refused her dinner but I'm hoping she will regain her appetite later tonite. She aspirated during her surgery and I'm supposed to give her a Baytril tonite but she won't even eat a treat. But she hasn't thrown up for almost 8 hours now so I think she will be okay.
Thanks.

poor baby.
it takes time to heal and in no time you will see a huge change in her
bet by tomorrow..she will be much better
will be thinking of her and you too
Sometimes it takes awhile to get over the anesthesia before they start eating
by
I wouldn't worry about that yet. After Helen had her C-section, it looked like she was on acid and after her spay surgery, she really didn't eat much, if anything for a couple days.

Don't worry about her not eating tonight...I am sure
by
that she will wake up ready to eat... If you can't get the Baytril down her in the morning you might want to let the vets office know so maybe they could do an injection.
-Brian
She finally ate a tiny bit but then threw up twice, make that 3 times
by
she still won't eat dog food, either dry or canned. Also won't eat a small piece of chicken. I finally gave her a very small treat. She ate it but then threw up about a minute later. Then did the same thing about an hour later. And I finally got her to go out around 10 pm, but she stopped to drink some water, went out and peed, then came back in and threw up the water. Even tho she's not holding things down, she doesn't otherwise act like she is sick.

it's a good thing that Clovis has a big scar, that means they removed excess to get clean margins in case it's malignant. Poor Ollie had to go back for a second surgery because the vet didn't suspect MCT and he had to take a lot more tissue after the path report came back.
and wow, it was big. I'm amazed dogs are not in a lot of physical pain after surgery like this, or even more routine surgery like neutering and spaying.

I am doing better today, I got out some and did a few things that I had not been able to do. My arm is healing some. It is really weird! Where the worst of the infection was and the wide line up the inside of my arm into my arm pit....not only does it ITCH like crazy (and that part isn't even the initial wound location!), it is BRUISED all the way along that infection route:-( Not a big wide bruise, but a long, winding one about an inch wide and 6 inches long. The muscle is still swollen but not hot and red, but it is also bruising! I have never seen that before in all my life!!
Thanks for thinking about me my friend:-) I appreciate it so much:-) I think I am out of the woods on this one:-)
I grabbed a flyilng Bully girl named Sophie as she was trying
by
To attack my Doberman girl. I got bit in the right arm pretty badly and then it got infected. I went to the ER doc on Tuesday and got a monster shot of antibiotic, then again Wednesday. I dodged having to get one yesterday though!! I am on heavy antibiotics to get rid of a bad bacterial infection.
Thanks for the howdy! I mailed your Christmas card out today....not sure that it will make it in time but I haven't been able to do much writing with my right arm the way it was this week!! Oh well, it's the thought that has to count this time!!
That sounds like a terrible infection! So glad to hear it is getting better. I think the itching is a sign of healing, so while not fun, it is probably a good thing.
Has Sophia finished picking out your special Christmas present yet? She really owes you!
Boy, I didn't realize how quick a person can get an infection going:-(. I will have to really watch if it happens again. Usually I am so careful about keeping wounds clean...especially with my animals always being cut and gouged in some fashion or another! You'd think I would do the same for me:-)
Our bulldog club had their annual Xmas Party/Gift Exchange and I got a pair too! Althought they're super soft and comfy, they pick up ALL the dog hair...only downside.
"We" got a red pair for xmas last year (Bert did, but I wear them!), & bought a green pair (really for Bert this time:p )last month. Those jammies are WARM & COZY!!! Nacho likes to snuggle us in them. Old Navy also came out with xmas bully jammie pants, but they're not as cute or as comfy.
We've had light snow since early afternoon. Dolly was so rambunctious in the house this evening, I decided to take her out & try for a couple of pictures in the dark.
Dolly zoomed all around in the snow---just like a kid having fun with the first snowfall of the season.
We put some lights on our baby Blue Spruce in the front yard. It's a little Christmas tree just the right size for Dolly.
I'z fink it'z a pwetty cute Charwie Brown Cwistmas twee.
Yep! Hey, BDW, I'm baaacccckkkkk. Shoot, you didn't even know I was gone. Well, a couple of you noticed and I appreciate it, really. So, if you're ready to begin, I'm ready to lay it all out for you. Oh, and this week I bought Sailor Jerry for the holidays, not Cap'n Morgan, for all of you keeping track of things like that. Ok, ready? GO!

Looking for a good place to buy sweaters for Bulldogs
by
I've gone to Petco and Pet Smart, and they really only have a decent selection for small to medium dogs. Our bullies have wide chests and thick torsos. The little Macintosh (it's adorable) that I used for Tiffy doesn't fit Maddie cuz she's thicker around the middle, and I don't want her to be uncomfortable in something too tight. She likes to go out in the yard and walk around, and it's been getting into the 30's some mornings. We tried human t-shirts with Tiffy and she HATED them.
she just posted it
it has a pink fleece style one that she got online
that is the same kind that I have for Gus here too
good fit and the bulldogs seem to like them
it has velcro across the top and easy to put on them
I use real sweaters for these bullies here all the time
it snows mega in Ontario..lol and cold
what I did hear..this was the vets suggestion..to get a dog to love the sweater
make sure that they are warm warm..
that is the hint
not a tshirt style..
I just got a few second hand ones that I use all the time
use it more then the fleece one for Gus
put it over the head and then through the paws and away the bully goes..that easy
make sure it is big enough..that it is not a struggle with the dog
they get used to them fast..
she's sleeping now. She has quite a scar but doesn't seem to be in pain. The vet has to send the tissue sample off to a lab for tests. Won't know anything until next week.
Thanks to everyone who sent prayers.

I'm having somewhat of a comical time keeping Flynn away from the scar
by
before Clovis had her surgery, Flynn would often try to lick the spot. Since we got back from the vet, Flynn has tried to lick the sutured area. So I rolled up a piece of newspaper and swatted her butt one time. Since then, Flynn tried twice more to sneak in a lick. All I have to do now is pick up the newspaper and Flynn hauls butt like I've never seen before. Doesn't sound funny the way I just explained it, but it is very comical to watch.

When Clem had a tumor removed from his back leg, the incision was huge, it surprised me. The vet wanted to be sure to remove enough to have clear margins. Poor Clovis
Same thing with Clovis, the vet had to make sure he got clear margins
by
the scar looks about 8 inches long, which surprised me, but the spot itself was a good deal bigger than a quarter.

Mind if I ask how much his surgery cost to remove the spot?
by
I'm still in shock over the bill, especially since it's just a week before Christmas. This is my third cold winter in the row during which my central heating system doesn't work most nights, especially nights when the temp drops below 35 degrees. On Saturday night of last week, I went to Barnes and Noble just to get a couple hours of warmth. It's almost my third winter in the row wherein just as I was getting ready to call in the repair guy, I couldn't because I got hit with a huge bill of one kind or another. The timing has been bizarre each time, three times in a row. Almost as tho some little goblin is determined to make me stay cold each winter. Thank goodness I don't live up north.

it's pretty good at heating the bedroom but my family room is much, much bigger so I'm often chilly. The irony is that last weekend I saw a beautiful electric fireplace at Home Depot that sells for $498 (versus about $8,000 to fix the HVAC). It's just about the right size for keeping my family room warm. I was thinking about buying that but with a $700 vet bill today and $110 vet bill last Friday, that's out the window. And of course the temp is going down to 32 degrees tomorrow night. I may have to head back to Barnes and Noble to get some warmth.

Then I can buy that bubble wrap we talked about and stop getting hurt all the time!!!
And hey, did I mention yet that Sophie hasn't pooped since 1:45am?? I haven't gotten one little plop out of her all day. Lets see what tonight brings:-(. She had BETTER POOP!!!
By the way. I can't even get you to visit me for a day. Who do you know
by
that will want to be around me more often than that!!! Ha ha! I am a walking accident! Well, me and my critters are anyway:-) If it ain't one of them it's me that's bleeding.
My hubby is pretty good about taking good care of me:-) I stay mostly safe and injury free when he is home:-)
If Flynn running from the paper is anything like Bernie running from the baby gate, I can picture it. A little something like the Looney Tunes, when they run in place for a second before getting traction to actually take off?
Lol, perfection description, a very Looney Tunes scene

lol....probably only sweater that will fit him....
by
is mine!
Actually, he is VERY toned right now since Zoey and him insist on re-arranging the living room furniture every night after about 1 hour of chasing the soccer ball around! I had some guy come up to me last night and tell him what great shape he is in.....sometimes I worry cause he does not have an ounce of fat on him and he looks under weight. Vet told me to keep him really light cause of the bad hips and knees.....
I just saw the weather news on NBC's Nightly News. Wow, that's a lot of snow coming to that part of the country.

I loved the book. I liked it better than Marley & Me. And the last chapter is just one of the sweetest things you will ever read.

Since it's Friday, a big HUG to all the foster moms
by
out there who are fostering dogs during this holiday season. We are so enjoying our little house guest. It's a nice sunny day here in Northern Calif. After taking our foster in, I haven't had time to shop or wrap presents, but that's ok...she's more important.
Thank you to everyone who sent us their cards ! I am enjoying this SO much and LOVE seeing all of the Bullies !!! Hoping everyone got Laylas card with Santa !
I know you said she was 55 pounds..she looks strong and muscular..
does not seen to have an ounce of fat on that girl..
very stalky and solid looking
how old is she??
the vet estimates 2.5 years old. as you know she was a rescue so based upon her vert examination it appears she was around 1.5 to 2.0 years old. I have had her since July, so her birthday is 7/7/07 in my book day. I am the lucky one in this deal. She is very solid, and cannot be moved if she doesnt want to, lol. she is buuuull headed when she wants to be. J & T
that will really enhance her ...girly figure then
they make some big changes between 2 and 3 and really expand outwards.
what a change from when you first got her though
she looks great..
Just a random smattering o'pics of Crazy... (pics)
by Julia
As I told some friends yesterday, she just keeps cracking me up with her bizarre antics. She stretches and lies down contentedly after she poops. She's such a whack-a-doo.
for the soul than a good laugh!!! and lots of wet kisses and zoomies and awkward acrobatics!! Harper and Max are just a little older than Grytl and they are hilarious!! Never a dull moment.
OK, so sometimes she cracks me up... but she's VERRRRY barky. I'm totally not used to it! She barks at me if I don't pay 100% of my attention to her at all times. It's very hard to work on...
But her little lips are so dang cute when she does.
I am in the same boat as Lisa. My hours were cut this year to less that 5 hours a day and Raven's vet bills in the last 2 weeks are over $2500. No Xmas cards or gifts this year. But, as Lisa said, THANK YOU to those that still included Betty and I on your list from last year, I love getting them. Here's Betty's pictures from last year:
Merry Christmas everyone!

hugs and prayers to all that are hurting..TGIF!!! stay warm and safe today guys...
So sorry I couldn't do the Christmas card exchange :(
by
Hubby lost his job this year so I couldn't participate. Thank you for the few that have decided to include me anyway, and I hope you all have a blessed Christmas!!!
This has been a tough year, no one would expect you to spend money on cards when you need to take care of your family. Let's look to a new and better year! J & T
Could really use advice for a friend who's bullmastiff has a torn ACL
by
My best friend's Bullmastiff is 10 1/2 yrs old and has torn his ACL. Due to his age and finances, surgery is not an option. She would like to know if there is a "hollistic" approach that she can take in treating him. Is anyone familiar with Arthro-ionX? I appreciate any advice you may have. She truly wants to keep him as comfortable as possible. Thank you!!
I know that some tripawd dogs end up with hip/knee issues due to the extra strain when the front leg is removed. Some have had good success with braces helping the effected joint.
We had the Chicago English Bulldog Meet-Up this past Saturday and had a local TV station there filming. Deuce had a little more air time than Oliver. Deuce is the 2nd bully you will see and he is also the one that gets really close to the camera. He is red brindle and white with a black harness. You can only see Oliver for a second and it is when the one bully is chasing the water dish. Oliver is red and white also with a black harness on. The TV station did a really cute job.
And it is a good thing he is. He is in the pool with the dogs the entire time. There are some bullies that will stay in that pool the entire time! Also, lots of bullies come with their lifejackets on Ours have never tried to get in the pool, they don't seem to have any interest in it....which is fine with me!!
Deuce is the 2nd dog you see, he is the one that walks right up into the camera. He is red brindle and white with a black harness on. Oliver is just on for a split second. Again in the beginning you will see the dog playing with his water dish, Oliver is off to the side. He is red and white also with a black harness on.
Deuce is at 00:18-00:19 and 00:23-00:25.
Oliver is at 00:30, he is the one to the right with the black harness on.
Deborah, I noticed your post about the TDI test...
by
Does that mean you can take your dogs on an airplane? I want to find out how to get that certification because if I ever have to fly my dogs somewhere, I don't want them to go in cargo.
but the S&R dog needs to be on a 'mission' to get a seat on the plane. Don't know if training or seminar travel would be allowed too.
I read this stuff on airlines' websites in the pet policy area when seeking ways to transport a pup from Ohio to Calif.
I have no clue about photoshops how to do them or anythign but I would like to learn! can anyone recommend a good beginners one to get or use? I dont want to pay a fortune because I wont be doing anything extreme but I would to be able to pittle around thanks for the help!
and I like it a lot. It can do way more than I know how to do, but I also went to the bookstore and bought the Photoshop Elements 5.0 For Dummies and it has helped a lot.
I love the program and it wasn't the most expensive, not sure how much it is these days. You can check the prices on the Photoshop website I believe.
I have never used Photoshop Elements because I have the regular Photoshop, but I heard it's really good especially for casual use, plus the price is pretty reasonable. It is supposed to have a lot more functionality than a lot of the other image editing programs.
Watch this video till the end. I started taking it while she could not get comfortable and kept adjusting my Christmas rug all around and then at the very end she decides to PEE on it!!! Mind you, she did NOT have to pee (she just went out an hour before)... she just FELT LIKE IT!!! What a lil brat, huh?!?! LOL! But you can't help but laugh! I just think it's funny that I actually caught it on video!!!
It soaked thru to the rug underneath too... which is dry clean only! What was I thinking buying a dry clean only rug with a bully in the house, right? hahahaha!!! Naughty girl indeed!
A VERY happy "6 month birthday wish" to my sweet baby boy Twister!!!
by
it's so hard to believe my baby is a 1/2 year old today!!
....and yes, I already have his 1st birthday party planned and all supplies bought!! LOL Dollar Tree had the most adorable 1st birthday theme party supplies with a bulldog on it and a single cake candle...just could not resist!
from this....
to this.....
and I cannot wait to see what the next 6 months holds!! Thanks for letting me share!
Very kind of you to ask:-) Arm is a little better:-)
by
And butt is happy about that! Means NO more shots!!!
The swelling has gone down some but more importantly, there is no more red line from the infection site to the upper torso:-) Yea!!! Very bruised but not so sore now:-)
I did indeed need a "hand"!! I am trying to get the last of my Christmas cards written and until last night I couldn't lay my right arm on any surface for more than a few seconds:-(. Today it is much better and I am gonna get busy doing all the stuff I have had to let slip!!
I was worried more about this particular infection going to my heart...I have a Mitral Valve Prolapse and any bacteria can do me lots of damage:-( That is why we so aggressively went after this infection....my Doc was not a happy camper about it all!!!
O/T.....for you horse lovers out there an amazing dressage video!
by Jen in FL
this isn't bulldog related, but so many of us come from horse backgrounds, I thought I'd share....this was posted on yahoo group I belong to - OMG!! it is so breathtaking and amazing, I cried when I watched it...
You will never see another horse like this. He just toped his own world record - the highest score ever given to a dressage horse!!
Beautiful:-) If you liked that stallion, you will love this mare!
by
Here is another world champion dressage horse ridden by one of the best. I love this routine, and this mare is totally into it as is her handler:-) Sorry the video is a little choppy, it has been previewed so many times it is getting degraded. The original was viewed more than 9 million times!!!
My TB mare is a National Federation Of Dressage mare. She is 3rd or 4th level, but I am not even 1st level!!! I trail ride with her and she is the most lovely mare I have ever seen. Her heart and her will are so huge, she endears herself to all she meets:-)
Her front wound is almost all the way healed. Miracle in itself right there! No muscle damage, no big scar. Amazing.
Her hind is a different story. I am still wrapping it every other day. Still fighting proud flesh. No skin growth but what is peeled off with the bandage every time I remove it. Where the vets excised the skin it fused the edge and skin regrowth there will be difficult at best, impossible at worst. I am looking at skin grafts more than likely unless God intervenes and grows that skin back over the wound. I am actually taking a dry off break right now and came in to check my email/BDW for a minute before I go bandage her up again.
In viewing both videos I noticed the grey mare using her tail (for balance?) more than the black stallion did. Does this have any effect on the way the performance is scored?
Another thing I noticed, and I feel strongly that this transfers to any animal that 'works' (horse, dog,cat) - good structure allows the animal to do these extreme maneuvers, where an animal with poor structure would find it difficult or impossible to preform.
Many of the terms used for parts of a dog and descriptions of movement are taken directly from those used for horses.
Several of my friends had a discussion on this with this mare. Normally, we would interpret it as her being aggrivated or struggling, but we agree she is the acception. I just think it's nervous energy with her concentration level. I don't know about dressage scoring, but I don't think she was marked down for it...

Toofie on the left, eyeball on the right.
Absolutely agree. Tail twitching or wringing can be signs of several things....
by
Pain, irritation, attitude. But this girl is mostly just using it for balance and sheer concentration. Her head set is perfect, no pain visible, no irritation visible. She is almost perfect in my opinion!
LOL Ineke!! .....are we a bit partial to the "Dutch"
by
this was actually posted on the Front & Finish yahoo group - the person who posted it was compairing this team work of horse and rider to that of the heeling of the dog and handler team who won the NOI recently
but i can understand how it can put a damper on things! back home in MD they are calling for 6-12 in. over the weekend and snow again on Christmas Eve! thats what I would love for it to snow on Christmas Eve!!!!
she is having surgery this morning to have the spot (mast cell neoplasia) removed from her hip. I am hoping that it is benign. Thanks.

This is his latest girlfriend Hippo. She is a bullmastiff puppy owned by one of the trainers at the boys' day care and will be in her first dog show in the Spring. She loves playing with Stosh and pulling on his bully wrinkles.
and another aw, how I miss a clean white bulldog face! I guess we have traded in that area. Cain is a mess! Ever since we closed up the house for winter, my boy is pink and brown My vet says it is nothing to worry about it is just typical "bulldog stuff" but he is no where as white as Stosh is anymore.......
I want to thank each and everyone of you who sent cards. They were all awesome, and my Husband said that I am a slacker becauswe we didn't do the holiday card pisture with the dogs. NEXT YEAR!!!! But again thanks for them all, they were a very bright spot in my day!!!!
