We fully recognize that a puppy's sire is extremely important; in fact, the sire seems to dominate any discussions about a particular puppy, whether a legitimate focus or not. We all would concede the fact that a puppy is only one-half sire; the other half is the dam, and often very little is said about a puppy's mother. To us, that seems to be a critical omission. (Experienced breeders whose opinions we respect state that if you are looking to purchase a female to breed as an adult, take a close look at her mother; this will serve you well. As a general rule, as the mother goes [licking her pups and cleaning up after them; producing lots of good milk; staying with them the needed time; producing litter sizes that approximate her own mother's, etc.], so goes the daughter!). Because we are so very proud of our girls, who are definitely a 'cut above,' please allow the following introductions.
Our Bulldog Children's Sugar
(DNA Tested)
(DNA Tested)
Gianna is now 5 years old and is a remarkable female. She is the daughter of a magnificent stud, Giovanni, now deceased. The pride we feel in owning Gianna is inestimable. Words do not exist that would adequately describe her; they simply do not. I could shorten this for you by saying the following: "She is perfection, in every way." We would not change one thing about this precious, precious girl. Her first litter with Petromonoff Valiant was outstanding! Please see "Past Pups" and "Grown Pups 2" pages. (Gianna is CKC Registered)
Our Bulldog Children's Dazey
(DNA Tested)
Dazey came to us when she was about five months old; she needed a home, and we more than welcomed her. After a search, we located her breeder, Linda of Blissful Bulldogs,www.blissfulbulldogs.com, who upon learning of Dazey's plight, was extremely distressed. Without Linda's generous help, we would not know anything about Dazey's earliest weeks of life and how deeply she was loved. We are so grateful for everything Linda has done to help us; she is a breeder who genuinely cares about her babies, even when they are no longer small. Dazey is the daughter of Blissful Bulldog's Lily Langtree of Hannah, daughter of their Mighty Mojo! Dazey has a grandmother who came from Brazil; perhaps that is a part of the reason for Dazey's strength and stamina. Linda's AKC bulldogs run the fences with their cattle and donkeys, so not ALL American AKC English bulldogs have breathing/heart problems that make tolerating excessive heat and cold difficult. ("Cold" is not something we have to be that concerned about here in South Texas!) A prospective buyer must be very cautious, however, and know that 'usually' AKC English bulldogs cannot tolerate more demanding climatic conditions. A broken heart over the early loss of a beloved canine family member can take a long time to heal. Dazey's sire is Salt and Pepper Shaker II (Shaker). (Dazey is AKC registered)

CH Nobozz Smirnoff Ice, owned and shown by Luca, Sirmione (Garda Lake), Italy, is now a Multi-Champion! PLEASE visit Luca's website, www.oldengland.it. Ice is someone you should see and read about!! What a father for a baby! You can have an "Ice" baby coming to you from . . . 'hotter than hell' Texas! This really IS an opportunity you should not let pass by.
Jellybean and Lollipop are AKC-registered Shih Tzus who are twelve and ten years old, respectively. They have given us many years of unconditional love and devotion. Now, a bulldog may not want to sit in your lap, generally; but a Shih Tzu will sit on you twenty-four hours a day. (This dog was bred to lie in the sleeves of emperors in China, hiding there to protect their owners from adversaries.) Mindy, an AKC-registered miniature French poodle, is thirteen years old; silver is now blending in among all her silky black hairs. The silver may not be just evidence of age, but equally could be a crown earned for great patience with the interlopers who have invaded her once serene environment. Mindy and I have 'alone time' every night when the bullies are bedded down.

Little Man Shotput has an extremely important job around our home: he takes good care of his flock. At almost 100 pounds, he is our guard dog; he is the son of Taz and a very large (112 pound) American bulldog named TK. Getting Little Man was our first experience with a low-down scammer. I chose this little guy because of the pictures of his parents on a breeder's website; the picture of Little Man's 'mother' was an English bulldog, and I believed I was getting an English bulldog when I bought him. I did not learn the truth until much, much later. No, I would not have bought this boy had I known the truth. THAT is why they told the lie. SHAME, SHAME ON THEM!!! "This" is NOT Little Man's fault!! We love him COMPLETELY!!! He is our precious boy. He handles his job with great pride and absolutely loves every single one of his girls.

THE EXCELLENT MALES (STUD SERVICES)
CHOSEN FOR OUR FEMALES
OUR OTHER CHILDREN, SO WELL LOVED
PLEASE NOTE!!! The adult FEMALE who appears in the following section is our SECOND LINE; Gianna is registered by the Continental Kennel Club. She IS classified as a bulldog. The greatest percentage of her bloodline IS English bulldog; BUT in order to produce a bulldog that could stand greater climatic differences (VERY important here in the South) and that, in general, would have a stronger overall health factor, her individual line was crossed with a second breed. (In Gianna's case, MMI Genomics tested and classified Gianna as the following: Primary Breed: English Bulldog; Secondary is Boxer. There is NO other breed appearing in Gianna's DNA Breed Test.) These dogs have NO difficulty keeping up with you, each step of the way! If you want a wonderful pet for your family, one that has an extra health factor and is 'still' a bulldog, then Gianna, when bred to the 'right' male (and I will be happy to explain that to you in a personal communication), will provide a puppy that you can expect to play outside with your children and have no danger of sudden respiratory death. In our opinion, and we ARE entitled to that, the very same as everyone else, there IS a definite place in this world for this beautiful, healthy, bulldog.
PLEASE NOTE!! The first two adult females on this page, Our Bulldog Children's Dazey, and Our Bulldog Children's Penelope, are our AKC registered purebred English bulldogs. The puppies resulting from these breedings will ALWAYS be ONLY AKC registered purebred English bulldog puppies! It is our belief that there is a place in this immense world for BOTH the purebred English bulldog and ALSO for the bulldog bred with greater health factors in mind, ESPECIALLY here in South Texas, (our CKC line); there IS a need and a place for both!! Because this is OUR belief (does NOT have to be yours!!), we have two separate lines. And they will FOREVER be kept separate!! (Further explanation precedes the introduction of the females in our second line, just a bit farther down this page.)

It is with fathomless sorrow that we must 'announce' the passing of our BELOVED Fonyody Vitez Pitypang. Our hearts are broken, and they will never mend. Upon rare occasion, there comes into one's life a dog that is so precious that words cannot describe her meaning to us, her value to us as our child. Our Pitypang was THE perfect bulldog; she was our love, our most cherished possession. Our weather here in South Texas has been incredibly humid; humidity, combined with heat, is treacherous to purebred bulldogs. In a mid-summer hot/humid month, even a few minutes outside, even late in the evening hours, can be exceedingly dangerous. No one can ever take her place; she was loved every single minute of every day, and she knew it. Pitypang did not 'know' the shortness of her life; she only knew the fullness of it, and it was filled to the brim with adoration. We will carry her love, her spirit, with us every single day for the rest of our lives. If the Lord truly wants us to be happy in heaven, He will welcome us at the gate, and Pitypang will be standing there waiting for us. Our blessed, precious little girl: we love you so much!!!
IN MEMORY OF OUR BELOVED CHILDREN
Sweet Precious Lucia . . . . I couldn't bear to put you here, until now. I just could not. I want to FOREVER remember you . . . in bluebonnets. Now, you wait for me, Little Girl . . . I will be with you again!! Oh, Lucia . . . we love you so much. The pain is almost unbearable.

Petromonoff Valiant (Big Boy)
(DNA Tested)
Petromonoff Valiant (Big Boy) is truly a magnificent purebred English bulldog; he is as sweet inside as he is beautiful outside. I now know why the puppies he has sired have the temperaments they do: we KNEW their mothers because they are our girls; and we now know that their father was 'the best.' We thank Debbie Brown so very much for making it possible for us to have this boy, and we will love him and care for him as though he were a person, for the rest of his life.

Penelope is the daughter of our precious Fonyody Vitez Pitypang, deceased, and CH Nobozz Smirnoff Ice, multi-champion owned by Luca in Sirmione, Italy. Penelope left our home when she was two months old to live with Cindy and Earl; but because of personal circumstances, her wonderful parents allowed her to return to us when Penelope was just shy of her second birthday. The joy we feel is unmeasureable, and our undying gratitude to Cindy and Earl is inestimable. A little part of our beloved Pitypang is back with us. We truly count Penelope's return as one of the greatest blessings of our lifetimes. We will have this little girl for the remainder of her life, and we will cherish her every single day. Pictures of her parents appear below; we look forward to Penelope's children and to our wonderful Pitypang's grandchildren: they should be . . . spectacular. Watch for them!!! (Penelope is AKC registered.)
