Life with Bulldog Paws
Meet the breeder
I'm Tonya, the breeder behind Life with Bulldog Paws located in Julian, PA. Our dogs are breed for health and temperament. They come from Champion Bloodlines. Raised in our home with lots of love and socialization with adults, children and other dogs on a daily basis. They have been good working on potty training.
Q. & A. with Tonya
Why did you start breeding?
When my daughter was younger, I thought it would be a good experience for her to grow up with puppies. Now I have a younger son who adores all the puppies and myself as well. They are a lot of work but just looking at those sweet faces and getting puppy love makes it worth it!What makes your program special?
I am not a frequent breeder but when I do I make sure my dogs are healthy and work with reputable people when choosing a sire. I work with a breeder who has been working with bulldogs, breeding, showing and training for almost 30 years. Her dogs are tested, healthy and come from Champion Bloodlines.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are fawn brindle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Bulldog
About Gertie
Gertie is a sweet loving and has some sass at times Bulldog. She is unique in her own Bulldog way and has brought a lot of joy to our lives. She comes from a line of health bulldogs and champions. She has had her DNA testing done and everything has come back normal. She is not a show do but a stay at home mom and loves to watch over and play with her puppies and our other dogs. Sometimes she will go out and give the donkeys her 2 cents when they are braying out back. Most the time she lays by my feet while I'm working from home.
