We are confident in our ability of sending you a Bulldog
puppy well adjusted for your home. From the time our bullies are born, they are handled daily and talked to.
Music of all sorts is played for their pleasure and socialization. Our children also interact with them.
BATHING: Your Bulldog puppy will be used to the water when he or she
comes home, they've experienced at least 2 full baths, and sometimes many sponge baths depending on how well Mother does
her job. Nails are trimmed continuely so as not to harm Mom. In continuing these efforts, bathing should always
be a bonding time rather than a battle.
Your Bulldog
will most likely need his or her nose roll cleaned out weekly with a warm washcloth. If irritation develops, Vagisil
will help clear the sore up. Clean the ears as well at this time.
TOYS: Bulldogs love their toys! Be sure to purchase thick strong rubber toys as well as stuffed
ones. The different textures clean their teeth during playtime. Big basketballs are funny as well, especially
if a little air has been taken out of it.
When toys
are destroyed or worn out, throw them away so as to keep your Bullie from swallowing them.
VACCINATIONS: Before our pups go home at 8 wks. of age, they've received their
1st vaccine - Galaxy DA2PPv. You will need to get a 2nd & 3rd round in this series at monthly intervals.
It is very important to safeguard your puppy until he or she has received the final
round of immunizations. It is best to not go to public places where other dogs have eliminated.
DEWORMING: Panacur/Paomote is given at 6 & again at 8 wks.
VETERINARIAN EXAM: All our Bulldogs receive their 1st puppy visit between 7-8
wks. of age before coming home to you. Our vet does a very thorough exam and let's us know if anything was found
wrong, which we relay unto you. We pride ourselves in being honest with this.
POTTY TRAINING: Our bullies 1st begin eliminating on newspaper and very quickly pick up how
to use a pet door for their duties thereafter. We strongly encourage them.
Upon coming home to their "new" surroundings, they will need a small washable
area (laundry room, kitchen or bathroom). You can crate them at night, but be sure to let them out during the night
shift to potty. Being as consistent as possible will help your puppy to be potty trained quicker.
SWIMMING: NO! Bulldogs are far too heavy in the front, they will go down like
a rock. They are definitely attracted to water, due to the fact they overheat so easily.
OVERHEATING: Not to be taken lightly, Bulldogs do overheat very easily.
Always provide shade and plenty of drinking water. If you do find your Bulldog is suffering from heat, quickly get them
in cold water, whether running the hose over them or filling your tub. It can mean their life!
PUPPY FOOD: We feed ProPac puppy (lamb & rice) starting at 5 1/2 wks. of age.
Your Bulldog will be eating 1 1/2-2 cups per day at 8 wks. of age. It's best to divide their food into 2 seperate
feedings, morning & night. As adults, 3-4 cups should be sufficient.

DENTAL CARE: 80% of
puppies have bad teeth by the age of 3. We recommend such treats as: Greenies, Milkbones & rawhides.
These help eliminate tartar and bad breath. Rawhides need to be supervised. Bulldogs have such jaw pressure and
of course that excess saliva which breaks down rawhides to a size they think they can just swallow it. The chip rawhides
seem the worst for Bulldogs.
HANDLING:
New puppies can be so full of life and excitement. It is best to remember that when picking them up. Be sure to
have a secure grip on them when you hold them so they don't wiggle out of your grasp and fall. NEVER pick them up
by their front legs, always under the belly & behind.
IDENTITY:
We recommend micro-chipping as well as a collar with your name & phone # on it for your new puppy. Many people will
return a pet whose tagged but keep a pet who is not.
