"Real Bulldogs" versus Show Bulldogs

It's that time of year again...

Believe it or not, the experts are telling folks here in Chicago that it is supposed to warm up sometime over the next few months.  With warm weather comes all those creeping critters who can make life so miserable for our dogges.  
In looking for something to protect my dogge, my friend Jerry Vega introduced me to a product called Trifexis.  You can check it out here: http://trifexis.com/


Here's how they describe it:
Trifexis is a monthly chewable tablet for dogs that kills fleas, prevents heartworm disease and treats and controls adult hookworm, roundworm and whipworm infections. Trifexis combines two trusted active ingredients to provide protection for your dog against these three kinds of dangerous parasites. And Trifexis is beef-flavored, so you can offer it as a treat.


Here's where I would love your input:
1.  Have any of you used Trifexis?  If so, what has been your experience with the product?
2.  Is it necessary to deworm your adult dogge?  If so, how ofter do you do it?
3.  What have you heard about breeding dogges (male and female) while they have this type of drug in their system?


Thanks in advance for your responses and feedback.  
Here's to a happy and healthy summer with our dogges!

Fat & Lazy?

I posted this on Facebook this weekend as a video response to some friends who believe the OEB cannot run or breathe.  You be the judge...

DOGGE OF THE WEEK

Each week, I will highlight some of my personal favorites out there  in the OEB world.  Yeah, I know...this is totally subjective.  But, I think I've got pretty good taste!  With that said, feel free to send me shots of your dogges...who knows what I might like next week.


For our inaugural dogge of the week, I am pleased to present:  

Modern Bullies' Gracie of Joyful Acres

I first met Gracie at the Illinois IOEBA show in October of 2010.  This little girl has it all: pedigree, looks and personality.  A Morpheus daughter...did I mention she took best in show!


Gracie is owned by my friend Yia Lee at Modern Bullies.   You can check his website out at themodernbully.com

Some Gracie Stats

Sire: Joyful Acres' Morpheus

Allow me to introduce myself...

I think this would be a good place to start.

First and foremost, I am a follower of Jesus.  It is my relationship with Him that defines my life.  My work?  I serve as a pastor in Evanston, IL (just north of Chicago).  My first human love: my beautiful and talented wife.  I am not just saying that...she really is beautiful and talented.  Next up, are my three wonderful girls...you will meet all of them along the way.  Finally, I had to buy my boy.  His name is Baxter.  Born on December 8, 2009, my girls and I first met Baxter in the parking lot of hamburger joint just south of the Twin Cities in late March 2010.  We were picking him up from Power House Kennels.  He has been part of our family ever since.  We are hooked.

Welcome to Olde World

Thanks for stopping by Olde World. The goal of this blog is simple: to provide a place where folks can share about their favorite breed: the olde english bulldogge.  I want this to be a fun, informative, noncompetitive forum where people can share what they like best and do best in the OEB world.  Not only will I highlight different dogges and breeders, but I will post questions and information that I hope breeders and enthusiasts will find helpful.  Any ideas for posts will always be welcomed!
