Published on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 by admin Is there any at home remedy that you would suggest for the little sores that my English Bulldog Sparky gets around his chin area?  We bath him once a week with mild tearless puppy shampoo and that seems to help temporally.

Published on Sunday, December 20, 2009 by admin The British Bulldog has for many years had the reputation for being an aggressive dog, often making people fear the dog. This goes back to their days of being used for chasing and attacking cows and bulls for their owners. They had the task of grabbing them by the legs and making sure they were brought home.

Published on Sunday, December 20, 2009 by admin The bulldog is probably the one dog that people are mistaken about more than any other.
