Q. & A. with Jim and Sue
Why did you start breeding?
When an accident put Jim in a wheel chair, he could no longer compete with my hunting dogs and so he acquired his first Bulldog Windsor. Now, many years and champions later we am breeding not only quality show dogs but healthy good tempered family pets.
What makes your program special?
Here at Hales Angels one of our top priorities is breeding a well tempered dog. I know my bloodlines and will only breed to females who are well matched to my males in not only confirmation but temperament and health as well. My dogs are also very healthy living into their early to mid teens. While there are inherent health problems in Bulldogs we try to minimize them in ours.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, fawn, white, red and white, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
