New Puppy is Home

We have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of our new Olde Victorian Bulldogge puppy for the last few weeks. He arrived Friday and we're thrilled over this 13 pound bundle of energy and cuteness. He's a lot of fun and a lot of work, but he seems extremely healthy, smart and alert so I'm hoping he will be fairly easy to train. It certainly helps to have our two well behaved boxer dogs, Big Suge and Booda to lead by example.

We're still trying to figure out a name for him and welcome suggestions and comments on your favorite.
Our list now includes:
Turbo (his father is Power Stroke aka Torque)
Ozzy
Jasper
Uno
Chucky
Magnus
Rocko

Here are a couple of pictures of him and I've posted a video on YouTube.





Here's a little about the breed and a link to the registry website.

The OVB is an olde bulldogge that is being bred and shown to the victorian era standard A large smooth coated dog with a wide heavily built torso and chest. He is large headed with thick bones that does not impede vigor. Broad muzzle with a short face, but not too short to hinder breathing capabilities. Hindquarters should be slightly higher than the foreparts. The bulldogge should have a symmetrical body and be well muscled. The OVB must be loyal and courageous but must have a stable temperament.
