Thu, 19 Feb 2009 10:35:00 -0500

Hi Ashley!

Just wanted to give you an update on Cherise. All I can say is... THANK YOU!! She is absolutely wonderful.

There has been no "adjustment period". Her transition into our home has been flawless. She is perfectly healthy, happy, and just so smart! Cherise has just stolen our hearts and our attention -- we can't take our eyes off of her. She just such a delight to play, snuggle, and be with.

I am so glad we really took the time to find the right puppy from the right place -- Nightingale

Best,
The Vaughan's

p.s. -- I'll send some pictures very soon. We've taken SO many, and we need to get them off of our digital camera (so we can take more!) Bullies. We would not hesitate to recommend you and your puppies to anyone who is looking to adopt. It can be an overwhelming task to do over the Internet. However, you have made it so easy. You are always there to answer any questions that I have and you've been a tremendous source of support and knowledge.

Hobbie Now Rocky Happy Valentines Testimonial!

Sun, 15 Feb 2009 13:14:00 -0500

Testimonial For Rocky's New Parents. They came and picked up Rocky Friday the 13th.

We know Rocky is getting lots of attention and kisses everyday. Thanks so much!

Hey! I just wanted to check in and let you know how Hobbie was doing (ment to yesterday). Hobbie is now known as Rocky! Rocky is doing great! He is adjusting very well and is so cute! He goes in for a check up with my vet tomorrow. He is definetly like a big baby! He loves trying to put his nose in your neck and to give you sugars. As I would say, he is a little cuddle butt! We have always loved them, but it is like so many say, once you have one you want more. My camera has stopped working and is being sent in to be fixed so we had to get another one. I thought that it was saving the pictures until I uploaded them-wrong! I lost about 25 pictures of him because you have to upload them before you turn the camera off, which it automatically does after a minute! Thats ok, though. I have uploaded a few and gotten some video. I am going to send you a few. Rocky loves my son's elmo chair!

Sarah Williams and Family in Alabama!

Should I breed my bulldog?

Mon, 09 Feb 2009 23:52:00 -0500

Should I breed my bulldog?

This is what so many always ask me. I will give you a detailed answer below but, first it has come to my attention that a family in Georgia I sold a male and female to last year have let their female get pregnant less than a year old. THIS IS A HUGE NO NO!!! I am just disgusted as a responsible breeder and owner would not let this happen. It is not only unethical but, life threatening for your beloved female. It is sad and it upsets me to all lengths. Do not breed bulldogs on the second heat and absolutely not the first heat. We wait until our bulldogs are closer to two years old which is 3rd or 4th heat.

This is why I am so strict when it comes to placing my dogs with breeding rights because yes they will agree with you and understand the terms and agreements prior to purchase but, afterwards you lead your own way and it is not always in the best interest of the bulldog.

Now back to the main question Should I breed my bulldog?

SHOULD I BREED MY DOG??

Almost everyone who owns a dog thinks about breeding it at least once. Raising a litter sounds easy and fun -- but having puppies isn’t all its cracked up to be. Breeding dogs involves much more work and responsibility than most people are prepared for. Before you breed your dog, there are some important things to consider:

Will all your puppies find good, permanent homes?

According to the Humane Society of the United States and the government Census Bureau, 2,000 puppies and 450 humans are born every hour in our country. Right from the start, only 1 out of 4 puppies has a chance at a home. Finding a permanent home is even harder - only 1 out of 10 dogs will stay with its original buyer for its whole life. 5 out of 10 will change owners before they’re a year old. The remainder of these dogs will end up in animal shelters, abandoned and unwanted. Even if your dog is an expensive purebred, your puppies are subject to the same statistics. At least 3 million dogs will be killed in animal shelters this year alone because there just aren’t enough homes for all of them There are so many unwanted pets that cities all over the country are considering passing laws that will ban all breeding.

Your responsibilities as a breeder:

As a breeder you’re personally responsible for each and every puppy for the rest of its life. Your responsibility doesn’t end with selling the puppy - it only starts there! It will be up to you to know where those puppies are six months, a year, five years from now and whether or not they’re being taken care of. It will be up to you to keep any unsold puppies or to take back puppies you’ve sold after they’re grown if their owners can’t keep them anymore. Since only 1 out of 10 puppies stays with its original buyer for life, you can expect to have to take back most of your litter sooner or later. The time to prepare for this is now - before you bring puppies into the world, not after. Will you have facilities to house these dogs? Will you have time to care for them? If you’re offering your dog for stud service, you have as much responsibility for the welfare of his puppies as do the owners of the bitches bred to him.

As a breeder,you have the responsibility of controlling the reproductive future of the puppies you sell. It might seem like having just one litter doesn’t add much to the dog population but - if your dog or bitch produces just one litter of four pups who in turn each produce just one litter themselves and so forth, in only 7 years your dog will have 4000 descendants! “Just one litter" has serious consequences! You’ll need to learn how to write and enforce a contract requiring the new owners to spay or neuter their puppies.

You have a responsibility to your puppies and their buyers to produce the healthiest and most mentally sound dogs possible All breeds have genetic health and temperament problems that can be passed on to their puppies. It takes experience and knowledge to learn how to recognize these problems. Many inherited defects are “hidden” - although your dog may not seem to have a problem, it could be genetically programmed to pass trouble along to its pups. Without expensive medical testing and a thorough understanding of genetics and pedigrees, you could easily produce puppies that will be a heartache to their owners and a financial burden to you. Reputable breeders check their adult stock for evidence of hip and elbow dysplasia, eye diseases, thyroid and hormone trouble, skin problems and allergies, bleeding disorders and other problems before even thinking of breeding.

As a breeder, you must be prepared to guarantee your puppies against inherited health problems that may not appear until adulthood. This can mean refunding money or replacing a dog years later. Many states are now passing “puppy lemon laws” that would require a breeder to refund up to three times the purchase price of a defective puppy or pay for its medical bills. Temperament is also subject to guarantees. You could be sued if a dog you produce bites someone! You need to be there to give buyers advice on training, behavioral and medical problems. You’re the “on-line” support for your puppies’ owners for the next 10-15 years!

Having a litter is expensive

Raising a litter involves a considerable investment in time and money - money that you aren’t likely to get back in profit. By the time your bitch is old enough to have puppies, you’ll already have more than $1000 invested in her purchase price, food & upkeep, vaccinations and the medical tests & certification to prove her suitability for breeding. In order to produce quality puppies, you’ll need to use a stud dog that’s as good or better than she is. Good stud dogs require a hefty fee. Most professional breeders won’t be interested in taking a puppy in exchange nor are they interested in breeding to just any bitch.

There’ll be pre-whelping exams and x-rays, post-whelping exams and shots, dewclaw removal and/or tail docking, puppy shots (two sets for each pup before they’re sold), worming medication, extra food for dam & pups, equipment like whelping boxes, heating pads, puppy playpens, crates, etc. Problem pregnancies are common. A cesarian section can cost up to $1200 and possibly more if it iis an emergency situation.

You’ll be taking time off work to help whelp the litter and make sure all is well the first few days. especially if this is your bitch’s first litter. Dogs don’t always know what to do and can accidentally kill their puppies. A problem during whelping can cost your bitch her life if you’re not there to tend her. You can depend on a 25% mortality rate for newborn puppies no matter how well you care for them. Birth defects like cleft palettes are also common. Then there will be advertising costs to help sell your puppies. Depending on your breed and part of the country, it can take up to 4 months to find proper homes for your whole litter. Even breeders of top quality show dogs rarely break even on their expenses.

AKC registration requirements

If you plan to register your litter with the AKC, you need to become familiar with their rules and recordkeeping requirements. You should be aware that they have the right to inspect your premises and breeding records at any time. If your recordkeepng doesn’t meet their standards, they can refuse to register your puppies, impose a fine and suspend you from registration privileges for life.

Before going any further, think hard about your reasons for wanting to breed a litter. Here are some of the most common ones:

“Nature intended for dogs to have puppies.”

Nature doesn’t control our pets’ reproductive careers any more - people do. Nature’s way is very different than ours. Nature never intends for all animals to reproduce. In the wild, nature sees to it that only the strongest, fittest and smartest animals survive long enough to have babies. Nature only allows females to conceive when the food supply and environment is suitable to assure their offspring a good future. We humans allow our animals to reproduce anytime whether if there is a future for them or not.

“We’re doing it for the kids.”

Seeing the miracle of birth isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. It’s messy, bloody and usually happens in the middle of the night. It’s painful for the bitch and her cries may be more than you or the kids can stand. There are videos and books available to show children what birth is like without the responsibility and expense of raising puppies.

“We want another dog just like this one."

Your puppies have at least a 50-50 chance of taking after the other parent instead! Your dog is unique, special. The laws of heredity make it impossible for any two to be exactly alike. Many of the qualities of personality that make your dog so adorable to you are developed, not inherited.

“We want to keep a puppy.”

It’s far cheaper and easier to buy a new puppy than to breed one yourself!

"All our friends want one.”

Almost everyone who saw your dog as a pup will tell you they want one “someday”. That someday is seldom when your puppies are ready for their new homes! You’ll be amazed at how many people suddenly don’t have time for a pup right now or aren’t willing to pay your price. Don’t count on vague promises!

Placing puppies in good homes is easier said than done. Not everyone should own a dog and bad owners aren’t always easy to sort from the good ones. You have to be a good judge of character and willing to spend time getting to know people before you sell them a puppy. Do they have the experience to raise and train your puppy and if not, are you willing to teach them? Is this the BEST possible home for this particular puppy? Do you know how to evaluate puppy potential to match the right dog with the right person? Will you be willing to hang on to each pup untill just the right home comes along?

“She needs to experience sex" ... or ... “it’ll settle him down.”

No, on both counts. Sex in animals is governed by hormones. There is no love, emotion or thinking involved. A bitch only “thinks” about sex when she’s in season. The experience is forgotten once her season is over. Males only think about sex when they’re near a bitch in season. Breeding won’t settle your dog down at all - it will make your male dog worse. He’ll become more territorial and aggressive toward other dogs, may lose his house manners, and will become uncontrollable if there’s a breedable bitch in the neighhorhood. If they’ve never had it, they don’t miss it! “Settling” a dog down male or female. is a matter of maturity and training, not sex!

There’s no truth to the old wives’ tale that bitches need to have a litter before spaying. Veterinarians who still give that advice are behind the times! Research shows that even baby puppies may be spayed or neutered with no ill effects. Spaying a bitch before her first heat cycle eliminates the risk of breast cancer and life-threatening uterine infections. Neutering a male dog won’t make him a wimp! In fact, neutering will make him a better, more trainable pet by allowing him to channel what used to be sexual energy into other, more constructive, areas.

“We want to get back our investment in our dog.”

As I pointed out earlier, you’re not likely to make a profit from raising puppies. In fact, raising a litter will probably cost more than you ever imagined! You probably bought your dog to provide companionship and pleasure. Even you paid as much as $500 for it, that’s only an “investment” of $50 a year if your dog lives for 10 years - less than $1 a week. Isn’t the companionship. pleasure love and loyalty your dog gives you worth that much?

Learning how to breed responsibly

If you sincerely feel that you have exceptionally good reasons for breeding your dog and can live up to the great responsibility involved, your work is just beginningl

Your first step is to call the American Kennel Club for a referral to the national and local clubs for your breed. Join the club to meet and learn from other serious breeders. Subscribe to dog magazines, especially the national magazine for your breed and the AKC GAZETTE. Read everything you can find pertaining not only to your breed, but all breeds. You’ll need an education in all canine subjects, medical concerns, anatomy and structure, behavior, training and even some psychology for working with the owners of your new puppies. Go to dog shows where you can see and touch other examples of your breed and learn what makes them better than average.

One of the most important parts of your education is learning what the “breed standard” means. Each AKC-recognized breed has a written standard of perfection. It describes what that breed should look, move and act like. Serious breeders constantly measure, test and compare against this standard before deciding whether their chosen dog is good enough to breed. They show their dogs in order to compare them with others of high quality. Standards aren’t easily understood in one reading. It takes study and exposure to hundreds of dogs before you can really see why certain characteristics are important and whether or not your dog has them to such a degree that breeding it would improve the overall quality of the entire breed. That’s the real goal of serious dog breeding and the ONLY reason to breed any dog - to produce animals that are exceptional in appearance, health, temperament and trainability.

It can take years to gain this kind of knowledge and along the way, you might learn that the dog you have is a fine pet, but not good breeding stock. If so, you’re in good company. Some of today’s most successful breeders began by finding out the same thing. They discovered that getting a dog of suitable quality meant a serious financial commitment and a lifetime of dedication to do their very best even though there would be no real monetary reward for their effort.

Breeding dogs today is a serious matter. Before going any further, visit your local pound or animal shelter to see what happens to the dogs that were raised by people who thought it would be “fun” to have a litter. “The miracle of death” by euthanasia is just as educational as the “miracle of birth”! If you intend to breed your dog, then you should be fully aware of what the consequences may be.

Will it be worth it? Most of the time, the answer is no. The decision NOT to breed your pet is one of the most intelligent, educated and loving decisions you can make.

Happy Family Testimonial For Nightingale Bullies Form Kovacs Family

Sat, 24 Jan 2009 16:34:00 -0500

Hi Ashley,
Harlow's new name is Bruiser and we are enjoying him very much! Thanks for your help!
Love, The Kovacs Family

Getting to Know Ashley and Justin Anderson Nightingale Bullies

Sat, 24 Jan 2009 15:03:00 -0500

The Anderson's

We wanted to share with you pictures of us. We started a passion for bulldogs back in early 2005.

We purchased our first bulldog from a breeder in Russia and she started our now and forever passion of bulldogs.

We live in Vaiden, Mississippi where we live on 5 beautiful, wooded acres.

Ashley which is me... has been raised around dogs all her life. I was adopted when I was six years old and was an only child and always had a love for dogs. I would bring home every stray I could find and with the help of my family we would nurse them back to health and find loving homes for them.

It takes a lot of love to bring a poor dog who has been mistreated and neglected back to a well socialized, trusted animal.

I am a lover of all animals and making sure they are taken care of and loved is my main priority.

When I was younger I also would work as a volunteer at animal shelter.. My first real job at 15 years old was at a pet shop called Downtown Pets where I worked with a family who mainly sold pet supplies and exotic pets like birds, fish, snakes, and other creepy crawlers. I truly loved my job there as I was around animals all day except the spiders and wasnt too fond of the snakes but, I overcome my fears.

I met my husband Justin in high school as we were sweethearts and he also has a love for animals and we knew that we going to surround our life with animals as we have.

We personally own 9 English Bulldogs named, Dozer, Belle, Mimi, Luna, Nellie, Bella, Mollie, Keegan, and Tucker.

We also work with our International Breeder Friends and Partners helping them find loving homes for their puppies as we know and trust them very well as we have had a continued partnership since early 2005. The puppies that are sold from our website from our co-breeders are from multi champion bloodlines and are usually siblings or from the same ancestry of our own bulldogs as wel love the European and English bloodlines.

Our puppies do not come from puppy mills and are not from inbred parents.

We do not take puppies from their homes at 5-6 weeks old to make a quick sale.

Our puppies usually arrive to their homes between 9-10 weeks old as we feel that they should have 2 sets of vaccinations before traveling and we also start working on house training them and getting them ready to be the best companions they can be.

We care about our puppies that we place and care about our customers and offer life long support for questions about how to take the best care of your puppy.

We dont look just to make a sale but, to make a friend in the process of your purchasing a puppy from us.

We will check in to make sure all is going okay and will ask for updates and pictures.

Our other pets...

We have a sharpei named Mia and two chihuahuas named Girlie and Sweetie.

We have recently started a small breeding program with persians and himalayans as well as we cant get away from the smushed faces.

We love all of our pets and they are all spoiled.

We wanted to put a face to the voice you hear on the other end of the line.
