If you own an English Bulldog, you've found one of the largest play/support groups for the breed and their parents (that's you!). We meet to socialize our bullies and discuss health, behavioral and other support issues. Mostly the dogs just play. However, if you are facing some behavioral or health problems, it's most likely that one of our members is going or went through similiar issues you face. As a member, you can draw from the vast experiences of our membership. Each meetup is a little …

Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) bans or restricts dogs based solely on their appearance due to the idea that these dogs are “dangerous”. When a breed ban is enacted, any dog that looks like the targeted breed is removed from the home and likely euthanized.

We pull dogs from Humane Societies and shelters that do not re-home primitive breeds as well. We work with owner surrenders that do not research the breed in detail and are attracted to the looks but do not match the breed’s n …

Cinema cretins unite for the absolute best of the absolute worst. disclaimer: apparently …
