Before You Buy A Puppy Anywhere

 What Is Wrong With Many American Breeders?

                       Listen To The Scams and False Statements On Internet Websites
How to spot a good breeder and how to spot a bad one!  How to spot an INTERNET PUPPY MILL!

To often each week I receive a phone call from someone saying my puppy just went blind or the puppy has this or
that problem.  Each time I get a call like this I know that in most cases it is a known problem the "Breeder" had
to be aware of when they sold them the puppy.  

                                   Most Breeders sell what I call
CULLS.
                    (The LEFTOVERS of what they do not want themselves)
     Do not kid yourself by thinking they are selling you anything that is GREAT
I do not sell culls and only breed genetically.  I am the ONLY Genetic Breeder in the USA.

In the USA it is hard to find a bulldog pedigree that does not contain linage to “Little Ponds” “Titus” “Newcomb”
“Phenix” “Cedarlane” “King Faroook” in the pedigree.  Most of these breeders are experts at
selling you a CULL
and keeping the really good stuff for themselves.

They are each almost as much as an expert at
CLONING another Champion by their close line breeding of dogs
as well.  Most of the line breeding in the USA is
forbidden in nearly every other country of the world.  You should
be asking yourself why?

What do I mean by CLONING and line breeding?   Think of it like this … if your family only bred with cousins,
uncles, aunts, sisters, brothers, grandparents
and yes even mother to son and father to daughter the genetic gene
pool would become very narrow.   Yes you would all resemble each other but your sickness and disease would
increase by tapping into the same genetic pool.

You know as well as I do that when we go to the doctor in most cases we are asked if there is any history of heart
disease in our family.   Nearly every breeder in the USA considers Grandpa to Granddaughter the number ONE
breeding.   

THINK WITH ME.  If Grand Pa had a bad heart that same bad heart more than likely was passed onto the
Granddaughter from the mother ...
Now when Grand Pa has SEX with the Granddaughter the puppies born are at
more than DOUBLE the risk of heart problems.  

Several  people with Masters degrees have called me complimenting me on my genetic conclusions.  Each always
asked me how I managed to come to such understanding with no formal training in Bio Genetics tualkly In real
life e would put Grandpa in
JAIL if he had sex with his Granddaughter.
If Daddy has sex with his daughter and MOM with her son they are going to
JAIL with Grandpa!    

Most American Bulldog Breeders tap into the same gene pool repeatedly with little regard for
HEALTH.  They
breed for two reasons, money, and more money by line breeding another cloned Champion.   Most breed
Grandpa to Granddaughter and that is considered
the number one breeding, Mother to son, and father to
daughter, with NO care for health.  This ignorant mentality is predominate and the carnal logic is IF that makes a
“Champion” then lets do it over and over.   "We can sell the
CULLS to the public what do they know."

     
In a while I will tell you why they are so interested in CLONING champions.

For now let me point out the common LIES you will hear or read on their web sites.  I assure you that after they
read this they will remove the statements.  First beware of cheap "homemade" website complete with barking
dogs, puppy feet and stupid music.  If it looks like it was a website out of a box and put together in a trailer it
probably was.

1.        “We only breed to improve the breed.”  
 LIE

The real truth is that in all of their “breeding to improve the breed” they have not added one day to the life to a
Bulldog or solved any health problems.   In most cases because of their inbreeding by INCEST they have actually
INCREASED the health problems of Bulldog intentionally.

In the last 30 years the life span of a bulldog has dropped dramatically because of ruthless line breeding of money
hungry breeders.  None of the line breeding is necessary.

2.        We only breed once in a while and
“occasionally” have a few puppies for sale to "approved homes" “we are
not in it for the money.”    
LIE

If they are not in it for the money then why not SPAY and NEUTER every puppy and donate ALL of the money
to charity.  Hypocrites!  The "approved homes" CRAP is to judge if you are a serious buyer and to make them
look credible when you talk with them "as if they are concerned about where the dogs go."  
WAKE UP if they are
line breeders do you really think they care about where the dogs go?  

3.        Any web site that talks about the
“numerous” health problems a bulldog or has articles about bulldog
"issues" as a
“guide to help you” RUN from any such site.

The truth is that they are probably trying to
“educate you” on dogs that they breed that have KNOWN health
problems because of their incestual quest for champions and money.  That why when your dog goes blind or
cannot walk they can say, “See I told you so.”  "Thats just how it is with bulldogs they are a tough breed"

I actually purchased two females from one "Champion Breeder" in Houston Texas (The Rocket City) who knew
the puppies had a chance of developing severe mange problems when he sold them to me.  He did take them back
only to resell one to an Idiot who called me and said that was "okay."  How blind can you be?  As blind and
stupid as you want to be.  I am sure he will end up line breeding the infected girl with genetic mange.

   
If you breed dogs with health problems you will get dogs with health problems.
                           Kind of like using
CHEAP parts to begin with.

4.  
THIS IS VERY CRITICAL IN YOUR SEARCH ON THE INTERNET.  Watch out for bulldog brokers who list
page after page of bulldogs.  Often they will have listings with various kennel clubs.  They never show you their
facilities but operate under the mantle of helping you
FIND a puppy.

These websites are just a guy that has hooked up with puppy mills and some of the worst breeders in the world
and created an electronic Internet  Puppy Mill.  BEWARE of long lists of puppies for sale.  Just like a pet store
that brokers puppies you must realize that this is an Electronic puppy broker.  I have bad deal after bad deal call
me about one of these Internet puppy Mills weekly.  If you are that stupid you deserve what you get.

It should be obvious to you that they are hooked up with breeders who farm their dogs through them.  
NEVER
accept any puppy without AKC or FCI registration.  FCI must be guaranteed buy the breeder to be cross
registered with AKC.  (AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE)  

While the AKC has major problems when you see any other type of registration RUN from the place.  That would
include UKC, NKC and APR as both all very loose in requirements and the registration is not worth the paper it is
written on.  Often many low grade breeders start their own registry to make it look official to you.

           
NEVER buy a dog from RUSSIA and watch out for dogs from Africa.         

Frankly if you read much of the stuff on the Internet about Bulldogs it will scare you to death to ever own one.   
Most of the garbage you read is from breeders who produce an inferior animal by an act of their own greed.  I do
not breed dogs with known health problems.

Bulldogs if they are not line bred will have no more problems than any other breed of dog that is common to that
breed.  Every breed has their own little things to look out for and Bulldogs are not any different.  I do not care if a
breeder says his dogs hips are “certified” and the winner at Westminster that means nothing to the next puppy if
they are line breeding.  Anyone can get an X-ray of a bulldog and make the same statement about that dog.  The
problems is if they knowingly line breed like Phenix Bulldogs does, chances are the gene will pop up in a puppy.  

                Here Is A VERY Serious Fact That Few Know

Between 15% and 20% of nearly every bulldog litter born in the USA has had some very strange genetic
Anomalies
happening for over the past 7 years.  It seems that entire litters are being born with their legs
BACKWARDS
.  When this first happened the "Big Shot Champion Cloning Breeders" killed the entire litter.  I
seriously believe that this genetic
Anomalies is a result of close line breeding (Mother-Son, Father Daughter,
Grand Father-Grand Daughter)

Later, the dummies found out that if you waited about 21 days the legs would turn back around.
                                            
                                              
SO GUESS WHAT?

               For The Last Seven Or Eight Years The Market Has Been Flooded
                    With The Fruit Of Puppies Born From This
Strange GENE.   
                           "Just Make The Money The Hell With The Dogs!"

I Personally Cannot Imagine What Must Be Next!  
I do not know about you but I do not want a puppy that was
born with it legs backwards EVEN if they turn around again!  The dummies are actually including this in their
ongoing "public education" so that you will know what to "expect" as a possible future problem.  Look up the
mange breeders in Houston the (Rocket City) and you will find an article about this line bred genetic Anomalies.

 We do not breed dogs with known health problems and breed
only in this order.
                             Health, Personality, and Show Quality.
                 However, most of the time I am A + in all three categories.

When I retired eight years ago I began to experiment with separating the Line Bred dogs as far back as five
generations and spaying or neutering every dog with a health problem.   What began as a genetic experiment
turned into a demand for the fruit from my genetic experiments.  As you might imagine I am not popular with line
breeders.  Ask me if I care.

It took a lot of work but today ALL of my dogs have NO line breeding in their pedigree and most come from
strong highly selective bloodlines.  I have retired over $250,000.00 worth of bulldogs over the last seven years with
the slightest health problem.  I think we are making great progress in really improving the health of our dogs.     

Champions, Champions, Champions, why does everyone claim champion stock?  Why do breeders and show dog
people want to “Champion” a dog?  Most will tell you that they show dogs for the  “FUN” and the competition
and I am sure a handful might but the rest are full of  BALONEY!  
(Just another lie)  

Just because a dog has "a Champion" in its pedigree does not mean you are getting a great dog.   In fact, the
more champions in a pedigree of a bulldog the greater the chance of line breeding.  In Europe where I own 8
Champions we breed only to healthy females with great personalities that are a great genetic match more than an
attempt to create another Champion.  I spend months looking for 3 year old females who can be checked for past
health and re-checked prior to breeding based on one thing HEALTH.

Dog shows and judges are extremely political.  I know of offers made to women from
“if you will sleep with me
tonight”
to kick backs, bribes and “favors” of I will champion your dog or give you some points ... If you will.  
Specialty Bulldog shows are the worst of all being more political and dirty than any presidential election.  Recently
we showed Limited Edition at a show in Long Beach California.  He beat every dog hands down but could not
beat the crooked Judges who are angry at my words and exposure of their evil ways.  I say it is time for the public
to vote and that would help eliminate the back room deals.       

                                So Why Champions?  ...  Here is why.

A Champion male or female if they are marketed well can fetch a price of well over $100,000.00.  A male
Champion can allow the owner to sell semen to thousands of females by artificial insemination bringing in as
much as $10,000.00 to $20,000.00 per month.  This is why you can find so many pedigrees full of "Little Ponds"
“Titus” “Newcomb” “Phenix” “Cedarlane” and “King Faroook.”  They SELL a lot of semen and puppies ... but
then they are only in it to improve the breed.
(Yeah right!)  

Now do you understand why some people want to
CLONE a Champion by tapping into the same genetic pool by
breeding so close in line breeding?  The power of the almighty dollar.  Who cares about real health of the Bulldog
just make me one that looks good.  What do I care if we see them INCREASE in health problems.  Just sell off the
CULLS besides they are cute fat and full of wrinkles what does the public know.   

If you go to enough Bulldog Specialty shows you will see what I mean.  They all look close to one another and are
quite BORING, because most American Bulldog Breeders are masters at
CLONING another champion from a
small gene pool by breeding with methods of
INCEST.  

        
                        WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME
                       WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF A
PUPPY MILL?
                             
                                         LOOK FOR THIS SYMBOL








The largest bulldog puppy mill referral center in the United States is the Bulldog Club of America. (BCA)  Well
there went my membership.  They are experts at promoting the breeding “to improve the breed” and to the “we
only breed to show” crowd as if they are promoting the "bulldog standard."  Why they can put you in contact
with a "reputable breeder" who only sells to "approved homes" just fill out this form and we will have them
contact you about your puppy.
(It is from this crowd that the first puppies were born with their legs backwards)  
Right Judge Jimmy?  But we must remember their motto "of breeding to improve the breed"  Yeah RIGHT!

They must know that many of their members are running puppy mills as they "refer" you to a breeder in
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, and Kentucky.
 RUN FROM A DOG IN
THOSE STATES.
  

They run full page adds in their own book the
BULLDOGGER where they offer “Stud Service Available” from
one
CLONED political “champion” after another.   If the AKC ever investigates those bulldogs that have been
artificially inseminated by these “respectable breeders" they will have to destroy thousands of records and AKC
registrations because on a whole members of the BCA ship semen with
no valid documentation by a veterinarian.  
Nor can there be found any proof that a veterinarian was ever involved in the extraction of the semen.  I think
under any discovery under RULE 26.1 there will be a lot of false papers easily exposed.

Most of these "respectable breeders" extract the semen themselves and then have the "customers" send them the
paperwork where it is turned into the AKC by the breeder as having "witnessed the breeding."  Right Liz?   If the
AKC were to wake up and smell the coffee they would know most of this would have been a physical impossibility
and NO ONE traveled anywhere to be inseminated by the CLONED semen selling line breeders.      

"We are proud members of the BCA"  Yes I was a member.  I found out what was being done to the breed that I
loved so much by select people trying to appear to others that they really cared about the breed while they were
actually intentionally INCREASING the sickness of the bulldog with their Incestual Line Breeding all for a $$$$.

I take every effort to ensure that all puppies at our location are of the best in
health quality, personality, and show
quality.
 If you decide to show I would encourage you to only enter AKC shows and to stay away from the
politically infected Bulldog Specialty shows where the Cloners pit Clone against Clone.  The judges of the shows
all know each other and are normally LINE BREEDERS THEMSELVES so you can only imagine the "favors."

I have personally introduced some exciting new gene pools in all of my dogs and I think it will keep me on the
cutting edge to a healthier bulldog.  To understand what I am saying think back on how the common Heinz 57
mutt normally has a longer healthier life than most pure breeds.  Why?  Because they are not breeding back to
mom and dad and Grand Pa is not out humping the grand daughter.

This type of information and exposure will not make me a popular man with breeders but at 57 but I do not care.  
It is time to tell the truth to the public and for breeders to quit producing such genetic garbage and selling
unwanted
CULLS to the public ...  for the almighty dollar.  I work three times as hard as any breeder who just sits
around and LINE BREEDS
CLONING one dog after another.  My intention is to educate the public and perhaps
prick the conscience of many breeders I know across the nation.   

It is for this reason my website
carries a warning about a $1500.00 dog  from a backyard breeder.
   Jethro and Ellie Mae will sell you anything because they will breed anything!

RUN from a website that is cheap and has a few bulldogs.  They are the worst because they will keep a girl to
breed to DAD as the ignorant mentality is normally
"We sure did good on that last litter didn't we Jethro?"  

Unfortunately, today the breeders you think should be good at breeding healthy bulldogs are as bad or worse than
a
1500.00 backyard breeder in most cases.  Please do not call me and insult yourself with "I just want a pet I do
not want a show dog."  Let me see if I understand you ... you want the quality ...  but do I have something of
little  lesser in  health and quality that is maybe little deformed or perhaps not up to the bulldog standard ... "you
know something CHEAPER."  NO!  
I am not the place for you to shop.

I have spent far more on developing my dogs than you will ever comprehend.  You can look all you want and my
dogs are the best you will see on the Internet.   My dogs are not boring and they have features that took years to
breed into them.  This is why YOU will not find dogs that come close to mine in physical appearance. When you
finally decide to spend your hard earned money for a Bulldog I think you should get more than some genetic
leftover
CULL. I DO NOT SELL CULLS.  

Here is some free advice that will help you
Wal-Mart Shoppers while you search through the maze of bulldogs to
get the "best deal" at the cheapest price....

Never buy a puppy that you do not see all of the parents and grand parents.  Never buy a puppy from anyone that
will ship or sell you an eight-week-old puppy.  We normally do not release a puppy until 12 weeks of age.  Most
health issues in any puppy will normally appear between 8-12 weeks of age and this is when we test them the most.

Ask a breeder if they breed Grandfather to Granddaughter or if they line breed.   Beware of over stated health
guarantees.   
NEVER buy a puppy unless the breeder shows you their facilities and that would not be concrete
pens and or a picture of a dog in a backyard.  
Demand to see where and how a dog is kept and watch out for the
common claim that “
our dogs are home raised” in a family of love ...  That is the trademark statement of a
backyard breeder.
  

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.  I think it should be the best you can find.


Good Luck In Your Quest For A Quality Bulldog

 What Is Wrong With Many American Breeders?

                     Listen To The Scams and False Statements On Internet Websites
How to spot a good breeder and how to spot a bad one!  How to spot an INTERNET PUPPY MILL!

I do not sell culls and only breed genetically.  I am the ONLY Genetic Breeder in the USA.

In the USA it is hard to find a bulldog pedigree that does not contain linage to “Little Ponds” “Titus” “Newcomb”
“Phenix” “Cedarlane” “King Faroook” in the pedigree.  Most of these breeders are experts at
selling you a CULL

They are each almost as much as an expert at

uncles, aunts, sisters, brothers, grandparents
and yes even mother to son and father to daughter the genetic gene
pool would become very narrow.   Yes you would all resemble each other but your sickness and disease would
increase by tapping into the same genetic pool.  

                            THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A MINI BULLDOG.
THAT IS A PERSON BREEDING RUNTS TO ONE ANOTHER.  RUN FROM THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know as well as I do that when we go to the doctor in most cases we are asked if there is any history of heart
disease in our family.   Nearly every breeder in the USA considers Grandpa to Granddaughter the number ONE
breeding.   

THINK WITH ME.  If Grand Pa had a bad heart that same bad heart more than likely was passed onto the
Granddaughter from the mother ...
Now when Grand Pa has SEX with the Granddaughter the puppies born are at
more than DOUBLE the risk of heart problems.  

Several  people with Masters degrees have called me complimenting me on my genetic conclusions.  Each always
asked me how I managed to come to such understanding with no formal training in Bio Genetics?  I responded
each time with the same answer ...

                                It is really very simple ...

If Grandpa has sex with his Granddaughter we are going to throw his ass in jail not put him in a show ring and
give him a champion title.  Likewise if Daddy has sex with his daughter and MOM with her son they are both
going to
JAIL with Grandpa!    

Most American Bulldog Breeders tap into the same gene pool repeatedly with little regard for
HEALTH.  They
breed for two reasons, money, and more money, by line breeding another cloned Champion.   Most breed

want to see what I mean go to a bulldog show and look at the fat boring line bred pigs they call bulldogs.  

        
In a while I will tell you why they are so interested in CLONING champions.

Champion can allow the owner to sell semen to thousands of females by artificial insemination bringing in as
much as $10,000.00 to $20,000.00 per month.  This is why you can find so many pedigrees full of "Little Ponds"
“Titus” “Newcomb” “Phenix” “Cedarlane” and “King Faroook.”  They SELL a lot of semen and puppies ... but
then they are only in it to improve the breed.
(Yeah right!)  

Now do you understand why some people want to
CLONE a Champion by tapping into the same genetic pool by
breeding so close in line breeding?  The power of the almighty dollar.  Who cares about real health of the Bulldog
just make me one that looks good.  What do I care if we see them INCREASE in health problems.  Just sell off the
CULLS besides they are cute fat and full of wrinkles what does the public know.   

If you go to enough Bulldog Specialty shows you will see what I mean.  They all look close to one another and are
quite BORING, because most American Bulldog Breeders are masters at
CLONING another champion from a
small gene pool by breeding with methods of
INCEST.  

      
                              WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME
                            WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF A
PUPPY MILL?
                           
                                              LOOK FOR THIS SYMBOL








The largest bulldog puppy mill referral center in the United States is the Bulldog Club of America. (BCA)  Well
there went my membership.  They are experts at promoting the breeding “to improve the breed” crap and  the “we
only breed to show” crowd as if they are promoting improving the "bulldog standard."  Why they can put you in
contact with a "reputable breeder" who only sells to "approved homes" just fill out this form and we will have
them contact you about your puppy.
(It is from this crowd that the first puppies were born with their legs
backwards
)  Right Judge Jimmy?  But we must remember their motto "of breeding to improve the breed"  Yeah
RIGHT!

 They must know that many of their members are running puppy mills as they "refer" you to a breeder in
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, and Kentucky.
 RUN FROM A DOG IN
THOSE STATES.
 

If the AKC ever investigates those bulldogs that have been artificially inseminated by these “respectable breeders"
they will have to destroy thousands of records and AKC registrations because on a whole members of the BCA
ship semen with
no valid documentation by a veterinarian.  Nor can there be found any proof that a veterinarian
was ever involved in the extraction of the semen.  I think under any discovery under RULE 26.1 there will be a lot
of false papers easily exposed.

 Most of these "respectable breeders" extract the semen themselves and then have the "customers" send them the
paperwork where it is turned into the AKC by the breeder as having "witnessed the breeding."  Right Liz?   If the
AKC were to wake up and smell the coffee they would know most of this would have been a physical impossibility
and NO ONE traveled anywhere to be inseminated by the CLONED semen selling line breeders.      

"We are proud members of the BCA"  Yes I was a member.  I found out what was being done to the breed that I
loved so much by select people trying to appear to others that they really cared about the breed while they were
actually intentionally INCREASING the sickness of the bulldog with their
Incestual Line Breeding all for a $$$$.

I take every effort to ensure that all puppies at our location are of the best in
health quality, personality, and show
quality.
 If you decide to show I would encourage you to only enter AKC shows and to stay away from the
politically infected Bulldog Specialty shows where the Cloners pit Clone against Clone.  The judges of the shows
all know each other and are normally LINE BREEDERS THEMSELVES so you can only imagine the "favors."

I have personally introduced some exciting new gene pools in all of my dogs and I think it will keep me on the
cutting edge to a healthier bulldog.  To understand what I am saying think back on how the common Heinz 57
mutt normally has a longer healthier life than most pure breeds.  Why?  Because they are not breeding back to
mom and dad and Grand Pa is not out humping the grand daughter.

This type of information and exposure will not make me a popular man with breeders but at 58 go ahead ask me if
I care.  It is time to tell the truth to the public and for breeders to quit producing such genetic garbage and selling
unwanted
CULLS to the public ...  for the almighty dollar.  I work three times as hard as any breeder who just sits
around and LINE BREEDS
CLONING one dog after another.  My intention is to educate the public and perhaps
prick the conscience of many breeders I know across the nation.   

It is for this reason my website
carries a warning about a $1500.00 dog  from a backyard breeder.
          Jethro and Ellie Mae will sell you anything because they will breed anything!

RUN from a website that is cheap and has a few bulldogs.  They are the worst because they will keep a girl to
breed to DAD as the ignorant mentality is normally
"We sure did good on that last litter didn't we Jethro?"  

Unfortunately, today the breeders you think should be good at breeding healthy bulldogs are as bad or worse than
a
1500.00 backyard breeder in most cases.  Please do not call me and insult yourself with "I just want a pet I do
not want a show dog."  Let me see if I understand you ... you want the quality ...  but do I have something of
little  lesser in  health and quality that is maybe little deformed or perhaps not up to the bulldog standard ... "you
know something CHEAPER."  NO!  
I am not the place for you to shop.

I have spent far more on developing my dogs than you will ever comprehend.  You can look all you want and my
dogs are the best you will see on the Internet.   My dogs are not boring and they have features that took years to
breed into them.  This is why YOU will not find dogs that come close to mine in physical appearance. When you
finally decide to spend your hard earned money for a Bulldog I think you should get more than some genetic
leftover
CULL. I DO NOT SELL CULLS. You can actually get pick of the litter.  I hate breeding but in order to
really test genetically I must breed and there is always fruit from the breedings.

Here is some free advice that will help you
Wal-Mart Shoppers while you search through the maze of bulldogs to
get the "best deal" at the cheapest price....

Never buy a puppy that you do not see all of the parents and grand parents.  Never buy a puppy from anyone that
will ship or sell you an eight-week-old puppy.  We normally do not release a puppy until 12 weeks of age.  Most
health issues in any puppy will normally appear between 8-12 weeks of age and this is when we test them the most.

Ask a breeder if they breed Grandfather to Granddaughter or if they line breed.   Beware of over stated health
guarantees.   
NEVER buy a puppy unless the breeder shows you their facilities and that would not be concrete
pens and or a picture of a dog in a backyard.  
Demand to see where and how a dog is kept and watch out for the
common claim that “
our dogs are home raised” in a family of love ...  That is the trademark statement of a
backyard breeder.
  

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.  I think it should be the best you can find.


Good Luck In Your Quest For A Quality Bulldog
