Vote for this dog

March 25, 2012 by SWestfall3

You know that it would take a lot for me to tell  you to go to this website, but go over and click like for this bulldog.

Why am I telling you to do this?

Because the sore-ass losers and conspiracy-minded fools over at Team Jenneh Forever don’t like this dog at all. It’s an intentionally bred tricolor bred, which we all know is an incorrect color in the bulldog!

Will someone please think of the children?!

I don’t care about the particulars of this bulldog or his breeder or his owner.

That’s not the issue.

The issue is these people have declared for themselves some sort of moral high ground from which they think they can attack other people who don’t follow their rules.

One should not forget that these people are protesting health checks for BOB bulldogs in the UK.

That’s right. They think that this bulldog, named Jenny, who lost her BOB win at Crufts due to a health issue, should be awarded the BOB anyway.

I’m sorry, but if you protest for that reason, you hereby forfeit all rights to bitch about what other breeders do.

And that’s why you should go over to the Dark Side and vote for Russ.

My browser feels icky for having gone to that website, but I think I’ll manage.

But even after all the sound and fury over there, it is amazing how silly this all is. It becomes more so when one realizes that this dog isn’t actually a bulldog that is registered with one of the established kennel clubs. It is a bulldog, but it is of a breed called the Olde English bulldogge.   That’s right, this dog has been bred to an entirely different standard and is an entirely different breed of bulldog than the ones shown in the AKC and Kennel Club shows.

It’s outside their registry. It’s none of their business.

Olde English Bulldogges are an attempt to breed a healthier bulldog. They did use bulldog from the kennel clubs to found the breed, but complaining about for them to complain about what color of this dog is about as rational as them complaining about the size of boxers or the prick ears of Boston terriers. Like the Olde English, both of these breeds have their breed in them, but these dogs exist entirely outside their registries and bloodlines.

I’d like to know where they got this authority to attack breeds that aren’t their own.

It’s just baffling.

    My first reaction was “what a handsome dog” because he has a muzzle, and can actually see out of his eyes! Heh. Then I flipped through some of the other candidates for “Bulldog of the Year”, and I’m a little creeped out. It’s great that the owners love their dog, really but who looks at this and thinks it’s normal for a dog?

      The comments under that one are amusing.

        The dog is properly named. She looks looks like Chief Clancy Wiggum.

        Just needs the doughnut.

        “What a nice bulldog! I think Clancy is the prototype of bulldogs!”

        LO effing L!

    I voted. I like the owner’s write-up and the photo is striking. Pretty dog.

      Here’s the write-up about Russ:

      My Bulldog Russ is Bulldog of the Year because when I wake up in the morning he is there with his big goofy bulldog smile. I was robbed at knife point when I was 15 years old and throughout my teenage years it was really hard to lead a normal life. When Russ is around it reassures me everything is going to be Okay. Dogs are therapy and My dog is my life, my passion..he helps me to be me each and everyday. He never judges me & when I’m sad or scared I know I can shove my face in the warmth of his fur and he won’t care. Russ is talked about from coast to coast. They love them some Russ!

      Yeah, this dog definitely needs a vote!

    He got my vote :-).
    So what if his breeders don’t breed for “show”? I wish that more breeders bred to produce rock-solid, high-quality, healthy, long-lived PETS instead of producing a never-ending string of “culls” in their never-ending chase for ribbons.

    He’s quite a handsome Bulldog, imo.


  5. on March 26, 2012 at 12:22 am Russell Constable

    Noted and voted…who could resist with a name like that!

    I hear and obey ;-) .. But it actually looked like a relatively healthy type of bulldog, a reason as good as any that they dislike it, I guess.
