Meet the breeder

We strive to love them and nurture them so they are ready for their forever homes. We have raised them for 27 years and know what a blessing they are to every family.

Q. & A. with Tammy
Why did you start breeding?
We got our first bulldog 27 years ago and we of wanted a second one after that. We decided to have a litter out of one of our girls to carry her bloodline on and have her wonderful traits. I loved being a bulldog mom so we have been raising them ever since.What makes your program special?
I believe it’s special because we look at them as family and socialize them for their homes. We are very close with our vet and that helps to ensure they have the best care also.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, red brindle and white, fawn and brindle, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
