This Is Kathy, I'm proudly owned
by my 4 legged friends, it gives me great pleasure talking about this breed and my family of Bullies and to help educate you
on this special breed..
If you have any questions please feel
free to call me or email me..I would be glad to shoot the bull with you !!
Platinum Plus would like to thank everyone
who has viewed my site over the SECOND year....it's been created,
Being a lover of bulldogs all my life and having them
during my life.
Being a breeder of Bullies for almost 8 yrs
most of what you read comes from my own experience,my heart and on going learning.
It's been great creating this site, during
puppy feedings, my spare time and I did it mostly to help educate you, You'll never know enough about this breed and
I truly hope you enjoyed it and come back again !!
Please note not everyone that contacts me about one
of my babies, gets a Platinum Plus Puppy
( no I'm not a snobby breeder) laughs
If for any reason my guard comes up during an email
or phone conversation and I don't have the right feeling, I feel there maybe a trust issue..Please don't be offended.
This isn't about money to me, I'm a breeder that loves
this breed and would like all my babies properly looked after, loved and purchased for the right reasons.
These lil ones, are my pride and Joy and they
are placed in the Best of homes with loving families to be loved, spoiled,cherished, for a life time.
I DO NOT SHOW MY BULLIES
I don't believe Ch. in front of a dogs name
will produce quality healthy puppies
I believe the quality of health does that!!!
I don't believe in the show politics!!
My puppies are sold 98% as pet ..and the owners MAIN
n ONLY concerns are ..
HEALTH,TEMPERAMENT,STANDARD
they couldn't care less if their parents are champions
long as they are purebred and registered.
I breed for the betterment of the breed and Champions
do not mean this.
You can have champion bulldogs producing puppies with
health issues.
Each breeder has their ethics and I have mine..
If you don't like mine..that's your choice!!
But I'm not about to change mine for anyone!!
The quality puppies I have produced...Is why
I'm a breeder !!!!
Please check out my puppy site link is on this page...
I need to start updating that site as well !!

TO BE A BREEDER OR NOT
Over the years I have recieved several emails and phone conversations on
this very matter...
Alot are people who have already purchased a PET bulldogs and they are thinking
of getting into breeding.
LISTEN UP for all the ones thinking about turning your bully (i have
always wanted a bulldog all my life) into a breeding bitch ... I am experienced in the pain and heartache of being a
breeder..Through out my site you have read some of my heartache.. but my heartache and loss is nothing compared to some of
what others have gone through ..In this area i'm going to touch base on a few of them...please if links are provided please
click them to educate yourself than you can deside if your bully you love so much is worth becoming a breeder ...Alot say I
love my bulldogs and I would like one just like him or her..
WRONG there is never another bulldog that will be the same as the one you have..markings
temperament, personalities are all different.
Some will think WOW what i paid for this one we could have a litter and make
money WRONG again
Chances are you will lose money ...
Go through this with me !!!
You have gone through the C section now your home..what do we do ?lets sit down
n have a coffee n relax..NOOOO you have things to do (laughs)
first 2 weeks of a puppies life you feed them well I do anyways every 2 hrs..I
place them with the mom to eat i sit there make sure they are getting milk for the whole 45 mins .. than i have to burp
them stimulate them and make sure they are getting milk etc.
YES thats 24 hrs around the clock .. hmm NO get up!!! you can't sleep your 8
hrs a nite here (laughs) those babies need you they depend on you to thrive..
So now your a walking zombie...after the 2days before your female had them and
now your on day 3 after they were brough home ..huh what did you say ?? your eyes half closed .. making coffee you hear them
whine? are they cold to hot? do they have gas? stomache ache? are they out of the towels ? what one didnt have a bowl movement
..is it him? is he constipated? ok so you go n check yes its him, hes got a stomache ache now what do i do?
aww so as your trying to solve this problem the phone rings ... someone is at
your door ...your female needs to go outside..kids are wanting attention .. what do you make for supper ? WOW .. time
to feed the puppies again ...time flies when its on every 2 hr feeding time ..SLEEP what is that? oh No i had a hair
appointment, dentist, doctors, they are going to have to be rebooked .. you wont have the time to do those things the
first 2 weeks, those babies need YOU 24 hrs a day ...ok grab ur coffee ... relax for abit ... have you ate? when was
the last time you ate? you can't remember ??? (laughs) I'm writing this at 5:15 AM just grabbed my coffee and relaxing before
i feed them again at 7AM ...am I tired YES...Ugh my house..floors need to be done, laundry ...I'll do that on my next
break at more than likely 9:45 AM...If you think I'm trying to make this seem hard I'm not its actually how it is... ok maybe
i'm being a lil on the jokitive side about it .. since i do have experience ...but you don't get to sleep until these babies
are well on their way ...that's no joke very serious on that ..I have worked 12 hours shifts in factories before ..thats easy
... sleeping an hour here n there around the clock trying to maintain a house hold and everything that goes with being a mom
is a total other thing plus looking after these babies n the mom and my other bullies !!!
Social life what's that ? ...Heck if you make it to the local corner store
your doing awesome !!!
I will add on to this as I can.... Breeders if you have any input a phase
a paragraph you think needs to be added please email it it to me ...I'm on day 3 of this litter, so if there are typos
please forgive me i'll proof read it some other time (laughs) Kat
ADDED ON
Ok this is Day 4 for me today at 11AM they are 3 days old YAYYYY ...
Tired hmm NO i actually got 6 hrs sleep since it was friday nite my daughter
Shawna and Jay watched the puppies and fed them ..for 2 feedings.
I feel refreshed, wonderful and ready to go!!!
My plans for today... feed n look after lil ones, give baths to 4 bullies and
clean my house HA!! wish me luck on all this ...The babies for sure, thats a given ..
I should be able to get 2 bullies a bath in between feedings so there goes 6
hrs than ok hmmm Maybe tomorrow on the other things ( laughs)ok i will need a couple hours sleep during the day here ... cause
i'll be the one up all nite again ... talk soon Kathy
from a email
Hi Kathy, This may be a controversial email because I have definite opinions about casual Bulldog
breeding. Many bulldog owners think their dog is so cute, they should breed them. Breeding Bulldogs is a complicated,
expensive, and labor intensive process that I recommend only to experienced breeders. I ran across a case study
of one such pregnancy at Alameda East Veterinary Hospital. Many of you may be familiar with this hospital because it
is featured on Emergency Vets on the Animal Planet. Anyway, I know Dr Kevin Fitzgerald and Dr Messinger, they
were two of Vivy's many vets. And Alameda East is a class A facility. This story illustrated the problems you can
run into when you breed your bulldog. And the importance of having great vet services available to you when you need
them. Read the cast study here: http://www.aevh.com/ShowCaseStudy.asp?CaseStudyId=44 Anyway, I don't want to offend anyone who wants to breed their Bulldog. I just think in most cases it is definitely
not profitable and it's better left to the experts. Your Bulldog Pal, Jan
PLATINUM PLUS ENGLISH BULLDOGS HELP OTHERS
There is no better time to drop off can dog food, cat food, treats
Please get involved Talk to your local shelters and let them know what
you plan on doing talk to the manager at your local grocery stores and ask to set up a box for donations,
and also a box for pet food and toys.
It's so easy to do this, start your own pet drive to help out your
local shelters and also maybe seniors with pets as well, that find it tight this time of year with winter months ..
EVERY LIL BIT HELPS ... Kathy
EVERYONE PLEASE REMEMBER NOT TO LEAVE YOUR BULLIES OUT BY THEMSELVES...THEY

SOME COMMON ASKED
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
When it comes to this breed there is
NO stupid question to ask.
To ask is to learn and educate yourself on the life time committment
your willing to make by purchasing a bulldog puppy.
I have had so many people say "Kathy this may sound stupid" but
is it true !!!
A bulldog is not for everyone?? the answer is an easy one .. No
there not, if you live an active life style and your not home alot. you'd be better off with a dog that can stay outside,
unattended and doesn't look and need total love through out the day.
Do bulldog smell ??? Hmmm I think all dog have an odor (laughs)
Bullies don't smell any worse, than any other dog, they require
baths and brushing and ear cleaning, daily face washes and rope cleaning other than that, thats the high maintance of
a dulldog, not hard now is it ??
Bulldogs basic requirements
LOVE,understanding,compassion,loyality,
commitment,daily face washes,brushing a couple times a week,bathing
every 2 weeks, nails trimmed,good diet, exercise,and your time, regular vet check ups.
Not much difference than any other dog,
Do bulldogs snore,pass gas, belch and drool???
hmm yes to the first 3 lol ... my bullies don't drool only
when they drink they can get some on the floor ..
Is a male pup better than a female pup???
the answer to this question is NO, but it depends on what the person
is looking for in their bully
Females are smaller than males, once the puppies are spayed/neutered
in behavior wise I dont see a difference temperament wise, male will always like to ruff house more than females ..(but are
humans any different)laughs,men play more aggressive sports than females, but they can be teddy bears also..
only time I would suggest a female pup is if they already have
a male dog, their male will accept a female more so than a male.
females live fine together males don't
there is always going to be an alpha role conflict, I dont care
who says anything other wise. At some point in time 2 males will get into it and its not just the bulldog breed its every
breed.
Now the females can live together fine, providing they are not in
heat at the same time, just like people they can get cranky.
When you find your breeder, if for some reason you doubt their ethics,
or have concerns about the care of a puppy.
This breeder is not the one for you .. you have to establish a bond
between each other, an understanding your breeder should always be there for you regardless the age of your Bully ...they
should want to know everything about that pup as it grows up.
To make sure their lines are producing healthy bulldogs that live
a long life time.
i will add to this as i think of the many questions i have
been asked over the years
If you have a question that you have asked me in the past and think
it would be great to add please forward it to me ...thanks Kathy
OH one of the most important things...
once you own a bulldog regardless what you have had in the past...
You'll never want another breed!!!
please click on the above button to see a slide show of
my family and some wonderful memories!!!
I would love to thank everyone of my puppy parents
that keep me updated on the health,happiness,care,wonderful life, of the babies they have gotten from Platinum Plus.
NOT, all have kept their promise to keep me posted, on their bully babies, I
realize they all get busy, with summer plans and such, but the ones that take the time to send pictures and tell me what's
going on.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING THE LOVING CARING PARENTS YOU ARE!!!
