Bulldogs World

I started with one for over two years.  I really thought Otie needed a playmate and introduced him to a puppy.  They became good friends.  When I lost Otie, my other bulldog, Apollo, actually mourned right along with me.  Seven months later I had a chance to bring home a bulldog that her owner wanted to rehome (he didn't have time for her).  BINGO!  I love having two, as I know they keep each other company.  I also love the male-female dynamic.  It seems easier than when I had the two males.

Our rescue, Margie is 8-years old and our Quigley is a little more than a year. They (mostly) get along fine. They work together when begging.

Most dogs tolerate having a roommate, some even enjoy having a roommate but they don't need a roommate. Dogs that live with attentive owners do very well living without other dogs.

We have had as many as 7 dogs here at one time, 15 total over 20 years. With the exception of 2, all would have done just fine if they had been the only dog.

So sweet together, and part of the reason we wanted a second baby was to keep Meaty company when we're gone.

The only thing that was hard for me was when Sophie was a puppy, she and Meaty would be PLAYING, but it  LOOKED

and SOUNDED soooo scary & horrible to me, I thought they'd kill eachother....the beauty is, there wasn't even a scratch---

people kept telling me "they are REALLY JUST playing!!!", and it was true!  :)  Other than that brief time, they are sooo

cute together!  Sophie is so motherly to Meaty----she grooms him by licking his ears, and he loves it !!!  :) ...

Just some friendly advice----NOT saying this is true ALL THE TIME----but I read a lot about it being better to

have male/ female because they usually get along better.  Well, we are new foster parents, and we've had 2 different

sweet bulldog girls here----and both have NOT gotten along with sweet Sophie---it's unfortunate!  These girls

get near eachother and a fight starts.....Sophie got a few cuts on her face before we learned to spray them with

water as soon as there's the slightest sign of aggression in either girl... I can also tell you that 90%  of the people

in my Rescue Group have said when they have 2 (or more!) girls together, they NEVER GET ALONG....and these

are people who've been rescuing bulldogs for YEARS....some are great at behavioral training, and have WAY

more patience & experience than I do, and many say they STILL cannot get their girls to get along----such a shame! :(
