ABOUT US

Both Craig and myself have always had dogs when we lived at home with our parents in County Durham.   Once we had moved in together we decided it was the right time for a new addition to the family, of the fur baby kind.

A friend of ours had a bulldog (Brogan) but due to his expanding business, no longer had the time to spend with him, so was looking for a good home for his baby.

As soon as we saw Brogan (at just over 2 years old) we knew he had to come and live with us.  From this day, our love of bulldogs was born and now we are well and truly hooked!!  Brogan is now 8 years old and is still as cheeky as the day he came to live with us!

As everyone knows who loves and owns bulldogs one is never enough and the search began for our new addition to the family.  On hearing from our good friend Joanne of a litter in Darlington, we arranged a visit to Geoff and Majorie at ALLGAS KENNELS and from the moment we saw Grace, we were head over heels in love.  It didn't matter that she was the first and only puppy we had seen, it was love at first sight!!

We then decided to look into showing Grace and visited a few shows to get an idea of how it was done.  Geoff had said that Grace was good enough to show and as you will see from her show results, he was right!!

We found starting out at dog shows was hard work but worth the effort.  We found a ringcraft class in Newton Aycliffe but didn't have a clue how to stand a bulldog or what we had to do.  We were very lucky that Paul and Angela from BULLDURHAM KENNELS we also there with their bulldog babies Rosie and Ruby.  Paul and Angela have helped us immensely with how to stand the dogs correctly and how to enter the shows etc.  We can't thank them enough for their help, guidance, advice and friendship, which they kindly continue to give today.

We decided to apply for an affix and it took months to come up with a list of just 4 names.  We didn't get our first choice but are more than happy with SWEETFEET BULLDOGS.  The name came about when one of our friends always said Grace had sweet feet, which was good enough for us!!

A big thank you to Joanne for helping us find Grace, we wouldn't of found her without you!

A bigger thank you to Geoff and Majorie for letting us buy Grace and also for their help and guidance and their friendship which continues to this day.

All of our dogs live and sleep in our home with us.  Sometimes we are even allowed on the couch!  They are our pets first and foremost, with showing and breeding coming second to that.
