| About Our Family Hi, my name is April Hort and I would like to welcome you to our website. My husband Todd and I live in the panhandle of Nebraska, with our three wonderful boys and our beautiful bulldogs Jade and E.B. If you are a bulldog owner you should appreciate the humor of this web page and our love of the breed and if you are interested in owning a bulldog, I hope that you can take my experiences, and learn as much as you can to make an informed decision if bulldogs are the right breed for you. The first time my husband said that this was his dream dog, I started doing research on them, after about a week online, I knew that I wanted a puppy and after about a month reading everything that I could about them, I knew I was hooked. There was no doubt in my mind that we would have our bulldog and that she would change our lives. Boy was I right! We got Jade in 2007 and she is wonderful. Nothing that you can read about this breed can prepare you for them! I mean that in the best possible way. When they say they are stubborn, man are they stubborn! We can call Jade and she can walk up to us turn around and take off running. Her personality is awesome. She is loving and onry all at once! Loyalty is a great word to describe them. Jade will follow me everywhere I go. If I am on the computer she is at my feet. If I run downstairs to get a pen she is right there with me. Then right back at my feet when I sit down again! I had read that bulldogs will eat anything, and thought okay easy enough to handle. Then when she got home I realized quickly that it was no exaggeration. She will pick up a pen,pencil,toy or glass Christmas balls off the tree. Anything! She was worse than a baby. Though she did out grow most of her chewing after she got done teething! Also, I found that the information I read about bulldogs is a great generalization. For example, I read that they were generally a lazy breed, slow getting around,difficulty in getting upstairs or on couch's, yea right! If you are getting a bulldog anticipating that from the start,think again. They are just like any other puppy, they run around, up and down two flights of stairs, chase our cat, Pete, everywhere, even onto the couch. Puppies are very energetic! Jade is over two now and has slowed down significantly but E.B. is still a handful! After careful consideration we have decided to breed our Jade. She is a beautiful example of the breed with a wonderful temperament and exceptional bloodlines. She is Champion sired and has several Champions in her fathers 5 generation pedigree. Not to pass on her bloodlines would be a great tragedy to the breed, in our opinion . So in 2008 we bred her with a gorgeous Champion "Bayou City Rocky" and kept E.B. We hope that you can experience the love we share for them, with a puppy of your own! Thanks Todd & April Hort |
