An Old Pit Bulldog Thinks Of Death by Dianne Jessup

When they ask you if I died well, tell them then the Bulldog's tale. A tale of courage, dogs bred bold, a tale of my kind, centuries old. My blood comes from an ancient age, was valued more than king or sage. Sires and dams of courage rare, who took on all who thought to dare. In my blood flows images of ancient kin, of silent stone circles, of small dark men. I see a savage beast in the flickering light, that those before me stood there to fight. Rough British Bulls go through my sleep, I hold them fast with courage deep. I hold them for my master's blow, with pride I hold them, their noses low. Before that even, we held the boar, from those rough dogs comes my core. We've hunted, guarded, protected and fought, we've doen whatever man has taught. So never think I would forsake these things, when soon my spirit takes to wings. And when they ask you how I died, say as a "BULLDOG" with courage and pride. ~ Dianne Jessup (written for her famous dog Dread)

Our Newest Addition

We are proud to introduce the newest addition to Anderson Bulldogges, Nunley's Moody River. This amazing boy will be coming to us from Nunley Ranch in the near future. He encompasses all of the qualities that we look for in a future stud and we are excited about having him here as a future prospect in our program. Very solid structure, thick, bully and excellent pedigree. We can't wait to have River here with us! Huge thanks to Sharon Nunley of Nunley Ranch for allowing us the opportunity to add this boy to our line up.

Anderson's Lady Antebellum

We will be keeping this beautiful sable girl out of our Anderson's Garden of Eden X Nunley's Blacksnake Coaltrain breeding. We specifically chose Coaltrain as a suitable stud for our girl, Eden, as we felt he would add bone/thickness while keeping the consistent bully good looks we strive for over here at Anderson Bulldogges. We are excited about this baby girl and look forward to watching her grow. We will continue to evaluate her as she matures and have high hopes for her in the future. We have decided that her name will be Anderson's Lady Antebellum and we will call her Annabelle.

 

Why Proper Training Is Important

Why Train Your Dog?

Dogs, by nature, are pack animals with a well-defined social order. As you and your family become your dog’s pack, your new dog will look to you – the leader of the pack – for guidance. Leadership can be established in a firm but friendly manner. Keep in mind that it is unrealistic to expect the dog to abide by the rules of the household without the leader teaching appropriate behavior!
Much like people, every dog is different. Some are hyperactive. Some are laid-back. Some are serious. Others are silly. Some are shy, and yet others have too much confidence. Regardless of these differences, training is necessary for all dogs and beneficial to your entire family.

Training will:

• Help correct nuisance behaviors such as jumping on people, digging, barking, and chewing, while providing mental and physical activities for your dog.
• Deepen the bond between you and your dog, and to increase the enjoyment, companionship and satisfaction of your relationship with your dog.
• Ensure your dog’s safety and happiness.
• Nurture good canine companionship for the benefit of your family, neighborhood and community.
• Allow you to enjoy the fun and excitement of competing in AKC obedience, tracking and agility trials, among other activities. You and your dog can earn certificates and titles while you continue to strengthen your communication and teamwork.

Types of Training Classes

• Puppy Class - A developmental training course for the 3-to-5-month-old puppy. A puppy class emphasizes socialization with people and other puppies. Instructors usually offer information on growth, nutrition, grooming, housebreaking and problem-solving and teach basic household commands.
• Basic Class - A basic training course for dogs 5-to-6 months and older, aimed at training you to train your dog. The basic class emphasizes the essential training commands needed to make a dog a good companion: heel on a loose leash, sit, stand, down, stay in position, and come when called. Instructors also usually provide information on nutrition, grooming and problem-solving. This basic training is important in keeping your dog safe.
• Canine Good Citizen® (CGC) Class - May be a separate class or a part of a beginner class at AKC clubs and other organizations. CGC is a certification program that is designed to reward dogs that have good manners at home and in the community. Your dog will need to know the commands and exercises taught in a basic training class to qualify for a passing score on the CGC test. Dogs that pass the CGC test receive a certificate from the AKC and are recorded in the AKC's Canine Good Citizen Archive.
• Training Classes for Companion Events - A variety of classes that prepare students and their dogs for competition in obedience, agility, tracking and other AKC events. You will be instructed in the levels of competition and titles available, how to teach your dog the required exercises, and the regulations that apply when you are competing.

Excerpts from a Cat's Daily Diary......
Day 983 of my captivity.
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.
They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am.
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.
The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now................

Eden X Coaltrain Babies

We owe a huge thanks to Sharon Nunley for allowing us the opportunity to match our girl, Anderson's Garden of Eden, to her stud, Nunley's Blacksnake Coaltrain. We have 3 beautiful babies from that match up that you can see posted on the puppies page of our website. Coaltrain is an exceptional bulldogge who consistently produces very nice, thick and bully pups. We expected that he would match up nicely with our girl, Eden, and we were right...he didn't dissapoint. The pups are a beautiful blend of both parent's genetics...both Eden and Coaltrain have exceptional pedigrees and they both proved just that by producing a consistent litter of beautiful bully pups. We intend to keep a female as a future prospect here at Anderson Bulldogges. We believe she will offer something really special in the future and we are excited about watching her grow. Check her out at Anderson Puppies. Her litter name is "Fiddle" and she's a beautiful sable color. Now that we have selected our keeper, the fun part begins...choosing the perfect registered name for her.
