All right I'm here. I'm the one Dee was refering to.

I'll start with WHY? That has got to be one of the most idiotic crosses I've heard of.

And as for your reasons for 'breeding', Oh my god how selfish are you. It's not for the dog on any level it's purely for you! If she was humping SPAY HER *!#%!@! And the 'I want her to have just one litter' comment, WHY? What goods that going to do? You do realise it could pottentially cause more harm than good and you could lose your dog.

As for 'I think she'd make a good mum', please! They're not people. They don't get broody for babies. Look for the perfect partner and want to settle down. They're animals they want to mate to keep the species going. They don't know how many dogs are out there and in most cases don't have a choice in the mating.

Pure greed and selfishness on the owners part!

thankyou tracey i think i will use the welping box like you im still going to invest in the puppy pen mainly to use as a room divider to keep my children out while their really small,but halfing the box makes sense.
The puppies are beauitful you must be so proud of her bless you amber!
Did you mate her with a staffordshire bull terrier? what colour was he?
Were the pups colours 3 white,2 brindleand 2blue and white.
Thats really nice that the owners take time to still keep you updated with how there getting on.
Amber looks huge at 6 weeks.
Could i ask a question was there anything special you gave Amber while she was pregnant?

I am not a selfish person at all as anyone who knows me knows that so i dont what makes you think you have the right to call me that!

I herd of worst crosses and it cant that bad other wise people wouldnt be itrested in having one of the puppies

We always said we would let rio have a litter so she could experince being a mother herself and why shouldnt she.

Since rio being mated with rug she has stoped the mounting thing so doesnt that say somthing.

yes i realise rio or the puppies could get hurt and thats why ive been trying to get as much imformation as possible so i know what to do if that was to happen.

I think rio would be a good mother to her puppies i treat rio as part of the family as thats what i was always told to do. And rio is a really big part of our family.

As for rescue centers do you know how hard it is for people to rehome a rescue dog theres so many rules.

And im not being funny i dont see where people like you get off trying to make other people feel bad for nothing. i came on here to get some advice bout pregnant dogs not to have people having ago at me!!!!

hello all im the owner of rug the shire of this breeding i was asked to come on and just answer a few questions reguarding the comments made by geerarffe

so about this comment

"I'll start with WHY? That has got to be one of the most idiotic crosses I've heard of."

now a bit about my self i have been in the world of animals for longer than i care to think about and have been a breeder of most things kept by ppl mostly reptiles i have also study the history and gentic make up of my fav types of dog for no other reason than to understand wat a dog requires it is better to no the breed and all its relation, my fav dogs being the "bulldog" now i have two fav types and most of my focus was on these to breeds one is the american bulldog and mainly the johnston line i love these dog they are a farming dog and never been used to fighting or any of that crap, secound fav breed is the English bulldog (not the british bulldog ) this two was a sturdy athletic built dog used for farming.

ok with out going to much into it there are many dogs that go in to create one breed lets face it a new breed can be created by producing 6 generations of the same dog so not hard

the english bulldog is a very rear dog as it was made into the small british bulldog so to recreate a breed like the english bulldog you have to breed out and in the founders of that breed and one of these is the staffishire bull terrier and when breed with a british bulldog creates an old tyme bulldogge which rio is, now rug is from a line breed by IC bulldogs and is a by product of the process of recreating the english bulldog by breeding a british to an american you get a simlair size dog to the old english which is around 23" at the shoulder (rugs hight) any way by breeding these to dog to gether it isnt a bad mix at all it is a very much sortafter mix for the above process and many of the pups have been ordered for this purpose as all three mixes are founder parts of nearly all the bulldog types

hope this will help if you have any more questions before comfronting a person like cllmmllm email me direct or give me a call i got noprobs educating ppl who think they can go on a forum and abuse ppl into thinking they done a wrong thing

your probley the coures of more homeless dogs by making the owner feel like they done a really bad thing beside most pure line dogs have health problem hip problem etc both these dogs can run rings around most pure breed staff and british bull dogs and out do either class with looks

im quite excited about picking a puppyto join rug and sugar (my female american bull from johnston line) and also to see rugs pups enter the breeding program that created such a loving dog

Hi cllmmllm

I was very proud of her she made a fantastic mum. There was 2 pure white females, 1 pure white male, 1 brindle, 1 black, 1 blue and 2 were blue and white but unfortunately we lost one of the blue and whites during birth. She was mated with another staffy. I didn't really give Amber anything special during her pregnancy just increased her food a bit which she loved lol

hi tracey,

i think Rio will be a good mum too.

She had such lovely colours in her litter, what colour was dad?

I cant wait to see what colour Rio's puppies will be as her dad was a red and white and her mum black and white, rugs like a tan and white reserve brindle,i will try again to put pictures on i dont know why it wont let me.

Was amber ok when her last pup went to its new home? Rug's owner's are having one of the pups, so Rio will be able to see it all the time as they only live round the corner from me.

Since Rio was mated she went off her food for a bit it got to 4 days and she still hadn't eaten so i brought some puppy meat and mixed it in with her biscuits and she ate the lot so now i have to put it in every meal time otherwise she wont eat (she's not silly is she) did Amber go off her food at all or did she act a little different for a bit? Rio also just sat on my stairs facing the wall for 2 days aswell, but she's back to normal self now bless her x

Hiya, (this is a genuine question - not an attack!!)
Just out of interest really, if mum has British bulldog in her, do you think she will need a c-section to have her pups? I've heard that all bullies need this to give birth?

ok wat ever im not creating a hybrid or cross breeding an unhealthly dog i helping to recreate a dog that was lost down to narrow minded ppl thinking that by breeding a bulldog to fit on your knee and be kept by the incitys towns ppl have in turned created a breed of dog that cant give birth with out c section and cant breath because it better to have scrunched nose and skin deasie that cause mange but this is ok because its paraded on croff. you really dont have a clue im afraid the work being put into this project isnt just a few ppl putting cross breed dog together its a international breeding program to rescuse a breed of dog that land marks english history and went exsintic because of pricks like your self

my male is a bulldog regaurdless of whether its american or british they all orignate from the same lines and the staff and english bull dog orignate form the same lines for bumping your gums about cross breeding but they are all related and origante from the same anccester and the only thing that really dinfine a cross bred and a pure breed is a bit of paper from a kennal club by breeding all the good and non of the bad is the only way we have got the breeds we have now, were just doing the same so how about you go away do some home work maybe use your computer to look and learn instead of slagging ppl off and may be just maybe you will look out from behind them binkers and see that some things arnt just mindless breedings

ref the c sction they should be ok and have a natural birth because both parent were natrual and all american have natrual births too its to do with the size of the head of the puppy because shire and dam both dont have over sized head they should be fine
it is as i said in above a trade breed into the british bulldog because a larger head on a small body is more favoured where as in the true english bulldog the head wasnt as large but still sturdy and power full to allow more agilaty when takling bore and bulls
the head should be the same across and the neck and no larger i belive

Hi cllmmllm

Dad was also a brindle and white but his brindle was very ginger unlike Amber who is very dark brindle. Amber was fine when the last puppy went she did look around in their hiding places (under the coffee table, behind the t.v.) for a couple of days. Amber never went off her food, just before she went into labour she had her dinner as usual. Food is what Amber lives for lol

It's nice that Rug's owners are having a puppy means you will see it grow up. The black one that Amber had was called Jake and went to live about 20 minutes away, but the lady that has him phones me weekly and sends me regular pictures. I have attached one of Jake so you can see him.

ah thanks, i was wondering! Are you likely to get any throwbacks which are more british-bulldog-like though? Coz technically it will be 1/2 british, 1/4 staff and 1/4 american bully..so is likely to have more of their traits?
(i dunno, not a breeder or anything, just pondering! lol)

if leaving dog breeding to the experts is such a goo idea then why is there so many cases of people wining crufts with dogs that have proven genetic defects and still breeding them after the vets have advised not to!! people breeding dogs with there granparents an parents to "improve" the breed take the Cavalier-king-charles-spanel for instance that has been breed by "experts" to create a dog whos brain cant fit in its own head! to keep strenth new blood must be added there for crossbreeding must be done to keep the genetics strong if you breed a half breed with a full breed you get a quater breed an keep going then your back to a full breed with fresh genetics! as for wether breeding is write of wrong if every 1 stoped breeding then dogs get expensive an puppy farms get rich!!!!!!!!!

awwww tracey he's lovely bless him, most the puppies have homes with either family members or very close friends so we will be able to see them grow up which will nice.

As you can see im getting quite a lot of stick for mating Rio, did any one say anything to you.

As Rio's got older her brindle gone a ginger colour too.
