Breeders of Large Bulldogs  

Chunk o muscle.. haha

He sure is photogenic eh?
And just why are so many of his pics, he is on a chair?? huh?
Must think he is human..

Will he always be prone to getting mange for life now?
The recessed testicle shouldn't ever be a problem I wouldn't think.

He does seem to think that the back porch is his personal living area. LOL! Retained testicles are, for some reason, highly prone to cancer, so I'd like to get that out of there as soon as I can afford to. I witnessed a 50 lb dog have a 3 lb retained testicle removed that was becoming cancerous. It was nasty. LOL!

The dropped testicle is fertile so there IS the possibility of him breeding and passing on the genetic flaw. Highly undesirable AND irresponsible!!!

Many pups "grow out of" the tendency to that mange. It's NOT contagious and although everyone has demodectic mites on their skin the issue is one of immunity. Some dogs are unable to fight off the condition, hence the mange spots. It can be very nasty, sores, crusty oozing places, major hair loss, etc. Since it's an immuninity issue I chose to tackle it by trying different foods. He's now on a food that is more "carnivore" oriented, no corn, more protein, etc. His spots have cleared up and I'm just keeping him on this more expensive, ha ha, food. But it's cheaper than the condition itself and a lot less stress, heartache and time on my part. It's not fun to have to treat demodex.

you know as soon as hit send comment i did wonder about what i assumed about the testicle..
so, good to know thanks :)

hee

You'd love them, plunkmadear! They're GREAT dogs....but then...I am biased! heee I just had mine by the head, having a heart to heart coo with him. You can SEE his intelligence as he's still as a mouse listening to me croon to him about how lovely he is. LOL! Big ol baby! pppfftttt.......he me! hee

I wish you would croon to me..

Aww..anytime love...anytime! LOL!

Hello and thanks for the responses. You are right, I think anyone that could own one, should. They are so wonderful! If you would like to see what I am working with right now go to photobucket.com the username is hurricanebaykennels

my new man that I talk so much about is ROCKSTAR. I love him so much! If you look, let me know what you think please. I am so sorry to hear about your baby! I hate when things like that happen to your pets and there is nothing natural you can do to help them. :( As far as dog food... Exceed is great! One of the best I have found. High in protine too! I feed my dogs more raw food than dog food though. Two meals a day but lots of raw and some dog food. Another think you should look for is this stuff called natures balance. It comes in a 4 pound roll and smells like slim jim. lol. It is very good for them and you can either use it as strick treats for learning ' I do' or you can actually substitute a meal with a portion of this because it is so high in protine and all ' I dont'.
