Welcome to our website. We are the Shelnutts out of Franklin,Georgia. We purchased our first bulldog in 2000 and have been loving the breed since that point. We breed purely for the enjoyment of raising this breed of dog. We normally have one litter per year and put all the love and attention that we have into that litter. If you've studied up on the breed, which I highly recommend that you do before purchasing a pup, you have found that they are not an easy or cheap breed of dog to raise. A lot of time and money is spent on keeping them healthy and happy. It is a must that these dogs be keep in a nice neutral environment ( around 70 degrees) at all times, which means they must be inside dogs. They DO NOT tolerate extreme temperatures!!! They need daily attention to their skin because the folds and wrinkles on their faces are breeding grounds for yeast. They tend to have eye problems as well as breathing problems. Most of them are extremely loud snorers and they have serious GAS. Other than these issues, they are a joy to raise. Their personalities are why we enjoy them so much. They range anywhere from couch potato to raging bulls. The energy level only remains high for a few minutes on those raging bulls though. Then they're ready to passout for a few hours of sleep. They don't require a lot of exercise and make good apartment companions. They do require a lot of obedience training from a very young age to make them the best pet they can be for your family. They tend to be rude sometimes and have to be reminded of their manners.
'm not trying to put you off on the breed because like I said, they are the best breed of dog in my family's opinion. However, I like to put the facts on the table so when you take the animal home, these things aren't found out the hard way.
Enjoy our website and if you have any questions about our animals or bulldogs in general, please feel free to call or email.
Exciting News... We have recently been given to opportunity to raise a litter of French Bulldogs.
We purchased our Frenchie in February 2007 from Andrea Giles of Tennessee. Cotton is a wonderful animal who we have enjoyed getting to know. Raising a Frenchie is very much like raising an English Bulldog. The demand for intense skin care is the same as well as their tolerance for extreme temperatures. The only exception is that they're much more compact in size thus making bath time much easier. If you have any questions about a Frenchie or English, do not hestitate to call. If we don't know the answer, we'll find it out for you. Thanks, Ben and Lou Shelnutt |
