UGLY KID BULLDOGS

 I don't know how much time you've spent with a bulldog, but, it's like having you're own private clown.

If you can start the day without caffeine,

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains, 
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles, 
  
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it, 
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time, 
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment ,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,

If you can relax without liquor,  
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs, 




  .....Then You Are Probably  The Family Dog!

And you thought I was going to get all spiritual..

 

 

A Safe & Healthy Environment

Creating a Safe Home for Your Bulldog

 

In the yard, make sure that poisons and chemicals are out of reach and secured. The same applies for in the house: a common household cleaner or insecticide in the kitchen or bathroom cabinet can be harmful or life threatening to your Bully. If your dog just ingested poison, bring him outside and administer 1 TSP (1/2 TSP for puppies) of salt on the back of his tongue, allow him to vomit, and call your Veterinarian.

Make sure your dog can't escape your yard. Check all fences and gates. If you can find a way for him to go under or over, fix the problem! He doesn't want to run away from you, but when you leave without him, he may want to go with you.

Is your pool or spa fenced? If not, your Bulldog will drown. Very few can swim.  Remember, a puppy can walk right through an Iron pool fence!

 

Building a Dog-Run for Your Bulldog

The follow directions are for a 6' by 12' dog run, Check actual measurements of the panels you purchased.

First, go down to the lumbar yard, and buy (3) pressure treated 2" x 6" x 12'. Cut one board in half. Use 2 1/2" deck screws and build a 6' x 12' frame (it will be 6" tall). Assemble the panels around the frame. Now dig 9 holes 14" round, 12" deep, evenly spaced inside the frame. Fill the holes and frame with WASHED pea-gravel. You will need 0.8 yards of pea-gravel. At the gardening supply store, buy a yard sprayer. Fill it with bleach, (or "ODO-Ban" from Sam's Club), and set it on the highest setting. After picking up waste from the gravel, spray the bleach, the follow that with fresh water (Make sure the dog isn't in the run when cleaning).

Inside, your dog will need fresh water and a dog house. If you get the dog house with a flat roof, not only can he sunbath on top of the dog house, but he can also jump out of the dog-run! However, I have yet to see a dog that can balance on top of an "Igloo" or "Dogloo." He will need a pad, or bed for the Igloo. If you buy an expensive bed for the puppy, she will be sure to shed it. I suggest carpet remnants. Cut 3 or 4 to shape. When they get nasty, throw them out and cut up some more.

OK! now you have a first rate dog run! Is this just for when you're gone? Or will this be a permanent habitat? If this is the new residence for your family dog, don't get a Bulldog! At least not from us. Bulldogs want to be with you. Do not get a "trophy pet" and lock him up, out of site and out of mind. If that's the kind of pet you want, I suggest you get a fish!
