Is your bulldog eating too fast? Bulldogs love to eat and can eat extremely fast. Eating to quickly is not ideal and can cause aspiration pneumonia (inhaling a piece of food or a food particle into the lungs). So the questions is… how do I slow down my bulldog from eating too quickly? First you want to make sure that your bulldog is eating at the correct height, to be honest this isn’t a huge issue with...
Feeding Your Bulldog Puppy After much research and many phone calls to manufacturers we decided to go with Diamond Puppy/Adult food. This decision came after many years of using Royal Canin which we were mostly happy with but felt that we should find a food formulated for our moms. Diamond puppy food is specifically designed for pregnant, nursing moms and puppies. It exceeds the minimum amount of calcium and phosphorus that a pregnant and nursing mom needs. I include...
The Best Toys for Your Bulldog We are often asked about toy selection for our young bulldog puppies. While each bulldog puppy does have unique preferences, a few general recommendations can be made that are typically accurate of most bulldog toy preferences. Appropriate toy selections can be broken down according to the age of the bulldog. Young, English Bulldog puppies prefer to have a wide variety of toys. A shotgun approach to toy purchasing is strategic...
Selecting the Correct English Bulldog Puppy for Your Family At Bruiser Bulldogs we like to take a macro approach to understanding our adoption process and how we view the variables that dictate whether our bulldog and adopter relationships are eventually “good”, “bad” or somewhere in between those extremes. After health, the most important factor within a bulldog puppy and an adopter relationship is personality fit. We believe that every bulldog is a perfect fit for some family, BUT...
Why Sloppy Biosecurity Practices Can Put Your New Puppy At Risk There are always moments in life that you will never forget. Points in time, that are so important that you remember every detail. For many bulldog lovers, one of those moments is when they pick up and bring their new English Bulldog puppy home for the very first time. There truly is nothing like a brand new puppy and the excitement that fills a home with the addition...
Upper respiratory infections Is there anything better than sweet bulldog puppy kisses? How many pleasures top snuggling with a 10 week old bulldog on a sleepy Sunday afternoon? In the world of Bruiser Bulldogs, there is nothing better! Many a bulldog pup has pitter pattered its tiny feet across our hardwood kitchen floor and yet the sound never tires; it’s always new, always welcomed.

Why The AKC Must Change to Save the Bulldog Breed Ever feel like the rules are stacked against you? Like you literally cannot win no matter how hard you try? Recently, I took a trip to beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada – the land of fun and fantasy. The buildings, food and even the shows are dripping of luxurious entertainment. It’s easy to forget that Las Vegas, from the Bellagio to Circus Circus is simply a business model with rules designed...
Bruiser Bulldog Health and What That Means For You There is nothing like tooting your own horn right? Some days it seems like our health “message” feels exactly like that; self-complimentary and aggressive. We repost testimonials that tout the extraordinary health and experiences past adopters have had. Most of the content on our YouTube, Instagram and Facebook is never too many steps away from a nice reminder that we are different in our approach to breeding. Part of...
Recently we agreed to partner with a trusted breeder within our network to use their stud, Hollywood (pictured below) in a series of 4 breedings. Hollywood is everything that I believe in and want in our bloodlines. From a phenotype standpoint, he breathes better than any bulldog I have been around which means he has a huge trach and no palate issues. His snout is extended slightly by about 1/2 inch which gives more room for his palate and reduces...
This photo has been on my mind the last couple days. It’s a photo of one our offspring cleaning house at a ABKC (american bully kennel club) bulldog show. She took on 150 English bulldogs in the ring and won best of breed. What you all need to know is that this would have never happened in an AKC show ring. The ABKC has intentionally developed a bulldog breed standard that requires the dogs to have athletic and healthy features....
