Title: Any Bulldog Lovers out there?
Post by: Robmeister on April 08, 2008, 05:07:11 PM
Bulldogs are like Seinfeld....either ya love'm or ya don't understand why people would like them.

Despite their fierce "look," Bulldogs are one of the most loveable, good-natured and affectionate breeds in dogdome.

My wife and I have wanted one since we were married 15 years ago.  They're very expensive and we just haven't been able to afford one.   

Well, our patience paid off.  In honor of my pending birthday and coming across a KILLER deal from a breeder here in Denver....we've fulfilled a long-time desire.

Ladies and Gentlemen.....I give you....."JIMMY"

CLASSIC!  :*)) O0

Sorry Rob, that's just sooo ............YOU.
I personally think BDogs are cool, though I don't think I could own one. A friend of mine had one growing up and that dog had THE WORST gas imaginable. Supposedly it's pretty prevalent in the breed.

That aside, Jimmy is a cool looking dog.

They say dogs "resemble" their owners, huh?  :*))  What's funny is that never even dawned on me!   I've loved bulldogs since I was an emaciated, long-haired rocker (when an Afghan would have fit the bill).

Good catch there !!   :*))

Yeah....flatulence is characteristic of Bullies....

But so far not an issue with "Jimmy", thankfully.

Great dog Rob.  I love bulldogs.  Not only are they the Marine Corps Mascot but the mascot of my university. Have wanted one for years too, but with my work schedule, can't have a dog.  Good Luck Jimmy, know ya got a great home.

I love Bulldogs but have never owned one. A guy in town has two of them.

After my last greyhound had to be put down in february 2007 we decided to go for small dogs since we're on the go a lot. We now have two Shihtzus.... great little dogs...... and I have a Boston Terrier of my own named Cooper. Must be something about those flat faces and gas because Cooper can clear a room with no problem.....

Great looking pooch their RM.

My dad got a pure-blood AKC English Bulldog about 3 years ago. His name is Chunk and he is the apple of his eye. A very gentle dog with a playful nature. He is great with children and loves to have a play around with you.
Title: Re: Any Bulldog Lovers out there?
Post by: Robmeister on April 10, 2008, 08:26:24 AM

...a pure-blood AKC English Bulldog


Yeah, Jimmy came with all his bloodline certificates and what not.  That reminds me, I have to transfer his registration with the AKC.

He would have been $3,000+ had we gotten him at 8 weeks.  Since he is 18 months, the breeder let him go for $1,000.

It's cool because he's already trained up in all respects.  The breeder has already taken him on several dog show tours, so Jimmy ROCKS on the leash, man.

VERY Trained....and VERY House trained

The other day, he parked himself right next to our back door with a dumb look on his face....sat there for about 5 minutes just sorta lookin' at us with that sad bulldog look.   So we thought, well, maybe he wants to go outside.

So we let him out and he went out and immediately PUKED.

It's one thing to hold a pee or a poop........... but a BARF?

My other dogs & cats just puke in the middle of the floor.

Cute.  Bet he's a touch stubborn though.
I've got a 3 year old Bullmastiff that we've had since he was a pup.  60kg of slobbering, farting hearth-rug.
Brilliantly gentle with the boys and a really loving pet.  You'd be really sorry if you tried breaking into my house though.
My wife's after a Basset to keep him company.

He's show trained so when he's on his lead....he complies in all respects.

But, yes, off his lead...he can be stubborn.

60kg of slobbering, farting

No slobber whatsoever for my bully.....farting, while common....has not been a problem either.  They've been known to clear a room.   Now, belching, snoring, snorting, grunting, growning..... :@`

It's an unspoken by-law, any lame attempt at humor while in a state of delirium shall not be held against you. (at least the first one, it's a freebie. after that you're fair game)

Came across the videos I took when we first met "Jimmy" at the breeders house back in March.

Here's the Jim-meister.  If you listen closely you can hear the breeder mention that he's a champion.
