Longhorn,

Wow, she looks much bigger than my 9 month old pups, but is actually 8 pounds lighter (each of mine weigh about 50). Our vet says that they won't grow any taller or longer, but will fill out a bit. I'm not sure yet if that'll hold true, but I was hoping for more massive dogs (not huge, just more along the lines of what I expect full-grown bulldogs to look like). My wife will be happy if they stay smallish, though, and I still ove 'em all the same.

We got ours from a breeder just outside of Waco. My wife lined it all up, and let's just say that I trusted her research when I shouldn't have. Both have great temperament, but... Except for the male having pneumonia (aspirated vomit while play-fighting with the female), he's been very healthy. The female has had a few bouts of stomach illness probably related to eating plants in the yard (now completely removed), and we just spent $4,000.00 on her for elbow surgery on both front legs for bone sculpting and bone chip removal.

Also, we found out the hard way that both are allergic to wheat (common in bulldogs from what I've read), so we had to change their food (lots of wheat in lots of dog foods). A funny thing about this...On my hunting lease there are cow pastures, so when I return from hunting, there's always cow crap stuck to the bottom of my SUT. Both dogs love to eat cow crap. The cows eat nothing but wheat. So, if I'm not careful, the dogs will sneak a bite of cow crap off my truck and then break out with welts. LOL!

I'd apologize to Boss for hijacking his thread so bad, but knowing how he loves bulldogs, I'm sure he doesn't mind. Right, Boss?
