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 Sadie, a gorgeous chocolate female and mother to our current litter. Winston is our solid blue male from IZza Belle's litter to and available for stud..

  • 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.
