Starting in Spring 2013 I will be expanding the accessibilty of Sugarplum Bulldogs by venturing out in the Sugarplummobile with puppies in tow. Watch the website
for dates and times that we will be in your area...NYC, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco & Los Angeles
Don’t call
me for the teeny-tiny cross-bred mini. I love the English bulldog temperament, physique and expression,
I just personally like it to be about 30-40 lbs. worth. Keeping in mind that most of the bulldogs that the
public is used to seeing are 60+ lbs, I feel that many of the health issues that are endemic to the breed become
less prevalent as the dog's size goes down. I find the smaller sizes are more buoyant and playful
and, though still very heat sensitive, are better able to cope with life in general.
Downsizing an AKC breed takes time. My girls
all come from long lines of 30-45 lb. bulldogs and are expected to be on the low end of that scale or sometimes even smaller. I’m
not trying for 20 pounders…my goal is to have healthy, beautiful babies that consistently mature at 30-40 lbs. and
still have the short, cobby, wrinkled and sweet old- fashioned English bulldog look and personality..any that end up under
30lbs. I consider a bonus!
In addition to my Sugarplum Bulldogs puppy program here in Virginia, I am honored to be in partnership
with a wonderful woman who I consider to be the top breeder of miniature-sized English Bulldogs. Rather
than trying to "re- invent the wheel" here in Virginia, I have opted to co-own her kennel in the mid-west and have her
there managing my breeding & whelping program exclusively...I own or co-own all of the miniature bulldogs
at our AKC "blue ribbon" facilities.
I believe that this business model allows the both of us to carry on with what
we are best at: she and her staff have all the hard work of managing and caring for 40+ adult dogs, along with
the delicate business of whelping and caring for the newborns up until they are fully weaned...and I get to bring a pile
full of my healthy Sugarplum puppies to my farm in Purcellville, Virginia and play with them. All this in
order to provide easy viewing & playing access for Northern Virginia, D.C. and Maryland residents
