Welcome to our bully website! We are not a kennel, but we do enjoy our bulldogs! If you have ever been owned by a bulldog, you know what I am talking about. Occasionally, we will have puppies available to good homes, but we only breed when we are looking to produce a quality Bulldog to keep. To sell puppies IS NOT the reason we breed. We are located in Texas, near Dallas. Please take a look around at our gorgeous bullies! Thanks for stopping by!
" If you ever buy a bulldog I do not care what kind of dog you have had in your life you will never own another dog other than a Bulldog for the rest of your life." author unknown
General Appearance -- The perfect Bulldog must be of medium size and smooth coat; with heavy, thickset, low-swung body, massive short-faced head, wide shoulders and sturdy limbs. The general appearance and attitude should suggest great stability, vigor and strength. The disposition should be equitable and kind, resolute and courageous (not vicious or aggressive), and demeanor should be pacific and dignified. These attributes should be countenanced by the expression and behavior. (the BCA offical standard)

The History of the Bulldog:
In the 18th & 19th century, the Bulldog's primary purpose was for use in Bull-baiting. Bulldog breeding was solely for this purpose. They were bred for strength and ferocity. It is impossible to know with certainty the true beginning of this bloodthirsty sport, but some say it began with "William Earl Warren", Lord of Stamford in Britian. The activity of bull-baiting was given a great boost in popularity by the Royals. King Henry VIII, Richard III, Queen Elizabeth I, James I, and Charles I were all interested adherents of the pastime. With Queen Ann's ascension to the throne, bull-baiting & other barbaric "sport" with animals ceased to hold their popularity. And not until 1835 was bull-baiting made illegal by Act of Parliament. With bull-baiting prohibited, the breed went into rapid decline with the possibility of dying out altogether. But there was still enough general interest among some breeders, that they decided to revise the Bulldog and make him into a much more companionable, docile animal. They had to reverse the previous breeding process, and breed only the most gentle and docile. There is much documentation of the efforts put forth by this group, which I have listed below, and to this group we we are eternally grateful for the splendid, gentle, and docile, beautiful Bulldogs of today:
