The Bulldog standard, largely unchanged since its adoption in 1896, highlights the breed’s “great stability, vigor, and strength.” These qualities make the Bulldog an ideal, if slightly unexpected, candidate for a variety of performance activities, such as rally, scent work, and even parkour. Dog sports are not only a great way to keep your Bulldog healthy and engaged but also to promote a deeper partnership with your Bulldog.

Demonstrating the breed’s versatility is 2023 Versatile Bulldog Bronze awardee CH-PKD Rosie the English Bulldog RN CGC TKE VHMA VSWE FITG. She was the third Bulldog to become a Champion Parkour Dog through the International Dog Parkour Association. She was also the sixth Bulldog to achieve Trick Dog Elite Performer with the American Kennel Club.

    I love my little puppy; she makes my house a home. She is my very sweetest little friend; I never feel alone. She makes me smile; She makes me laugh; She fills my heart with love . . . Did some person breed her, or did she fall from above?

    I am always looking for ways to educate the public on why it is important to buy from a reputable preservation breeder. I recently had my first litter in about 7 years since my divorce. I have been using photos and videos to educate the friends on my Facebook page who are not "dog show" people. I want to show them what "We" do that is different in raising our puppies. I want them to have something to compare to when they are buying a puppy.

    You know how some parents get that one child that tests them at every turn? Loki is mine. We show conformation and as anyone who has witnessed can testify, lord knows we tried with Loki. Loki just had no interest in keeping all 4 feet on the floor, much less standing still. He yodeled, spun, crawled up my legs, and removed any shred of humility I had left. I took him to countless conformation training classes and two complete sessions of obedience. Even though he did win a couple times, it just wasn’t meant to be--there would be no conformation titles in Loki’s future.
