Hello pet lovers how are you and your fur babies? Today I introduce you fully to my awesome pet friend Watson. I'm a proud owner of an English Bull Dog. Let me start from the begining bringing you to today.
Before he was named Watson he was Colby to the breeders. I'm so thankful we worked with these breeders. They were easy to work with and document there litters, sires, and dams so well. It's pretty cool to see pictures of your fur babies before you meet them for the first time.
You see they walked us through the process and asked us what color we were seeking for. Ultimately this was an early birthday present for my son. So he chose the colors. They showed us which Sire (male) and Dam (female) would give the best results. They were spot on and he was also number one born.
Watson was a litter of 3 and the only male. I recently shared with some that he was 2 years old and I apologize, he's closer to 3 years old since he was born May 8, 2020. Let me show you his mother and father.

Watson got a lot of his body color from his mother. We even got to see her when we picked him up. Her brindle fawn colors look much darker in person. He also has a smaller head and that is credit to his mother as well. Robyn is no longer with the breeders as she lives with a lucky family now.

Bentley is a handsome Bull Dog isn't he? Watson got a lot of his front view features from his father. As far as I know Bentley is still being a sire for the breeders.
I could go back another generation but I have to share some of my own photos and stories. So let's get to it shall we?
So these are some pictures I took of Watson during his first week at our home. He really wasn't comfortable going up and down stairs for a month or so. No big deal he was about 8 lbs for a short while.
When he finally went up and down stairs it's so cute to witness. They kind of jump sprint up the stairs and ours goes down them kind of sideways using his weight for momentum, hehe.
Just like any other breed they like to chew on things. I can contest we had some chairs that seen the wrath of his teeth. They take a little more patience to train compared to other dogs but that is just my opinion.
He didn't see a kennel for the first few months because my son was adamant that he sleep with him. There were some washing of sheets more often because of this. Not Watsons fault but my son not noticing the tail signs.
When we introduced him to the kennel he took to it well. He really treats that area well and doesn't mess it up. Hmm need my son to learn from him, lol.
Watson really does have a friendly personality. I grew up with other dogs but I have never had a dog that gets so many compliments, smiles, and can I pet him? He eats it up by the way he's not shy about that. Loves kids the most and will play with them. He rides well in cars and when I go through the a drive through somewhere he always gathers attention. He always has that look I know I'm cute. He will just walk over me in the car to get closer to an admirer of his. Guys if you want a chick magnet get a bull dog, hehe.
Watson has a way of convincing people to feel for him. I think all Bull Dogs have the look by looking up at you and causing you to melt to their demands. He will sometimes be a little clingy and follow you every where. They are just really loyally dogs to their owner.
If you ever decide to get one expect some vet bills. The are notorious for a lot of ailments such as ear infections, allergies, hip problems, and eye problems. They are the best droolers of all dogs. Back up if you sense a head swag they will surely slime you. Don't think they can't get up to higher places because of their low center of gravity they can jump rather well despite their size. They will find anywhere to sleep and it only takes a second once they close thier eyes to hear them snore.
Yes there may be some ailments but I surely tell you it's so much worth having one. They are a quiet dog they don't bark that much. I think it was 2 months before we heard Watson bark. Ours usually grumbles much more than barks. If they hear certain sounds it will trigger a bark.
I hope you enjoyed my tails of my English Bull Dog. I've wanted to write an article about my dog for quite some time. It was yesterday that I met two proud Bulldog owners @beautifulbullies @bulldog-joy and here I am writing about it. A special shot out to @erikah for bringing us together, thank you as always. If your a Bull Dog owner or know someone that is send them our way. We'd love to share experiences. Take care, be safe and love you all ❤️
