What are some common health concerns in bulldogs, and how do you address them in your breeding program?
Skin allergies and breathability are two common concerns in bulldogs. To address skin issues, we help buyers find the right food. Sometimes just simple dietary change can solve the problem. We also perform OFFA tracheal hypoplasia testing on our breeding adults to insure we produce puppies that are less likely to have breathing issues.
Could you describe your health screening and care procedures?
We follow strict health screening and care procedures. To ensure the health and well-being of our bulldogs we consult with our dedicated veterinary team.
What information about bulldog health do you think is most crucial for potential owners to know?
It's crucial for potential owners to understand that a bulldog can lead a healthy and long life. Choosing a Dam and Sire should never be based only on conformation. We believe testing and genetics are equally as important.
