Q. & A. with Ruth
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with the Olde English Bulldogges the day we took our Chester home from the breeder. Six months later, we decided that we MUST breed these beautiful loving animals, so we bought our next Bulldogge, Izza Belle, and our breeding journey began. Izza Belle has produced beautiful puppies. We have recently purchased a new female and kept a male from her latest litter to add to our breeding program. We also own an up and coming blue brindle female who will be breeding near the end of 2023.
What makes your program special?
We strive to run a successful and intentional breeding program. We DNA and extensive xrays to assure our dogs are in good health, with no deformaties to hips, and elbows. We never miss our vaccines or vet visits. We ensure their diet is top notch from the beginning and include nutritional values in our puppy contract.
We work hard to train and socialize our puppies prior to them leaving for their forever homes. We work with passion, heart, integrity, and are SO excited to connect you with one of our cherished pups!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brown brindle and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
Sadie Fine, mom
Olde English Bulldogge
About Sadie Fine
Howell's Country Strong Bulldogges, Sadie Fine. What else can I say about this CHOCOLATE and White beauty!
She is super affectionate, and it shows with her litter. She is a triple carrier genetically. She lives in a guardian home with Titan, the sire, but is staying with us for the entire whelping of her puppies. We sure are glad to have her here on the farm. She is super athletic!!! She loves to run full speed, and she can jump at least 10 feet straight out. She is a workhorse. Super muscular and so strong. Though with all this strength, she is as gentle as can be and very well mannered. She tends to her puppies with such tender love. We could not have asked for a better mommy than her.
