Wow glad this was resurrected as I missed this question...
Archie is actually our 3ird bulldog; our first one (George) and Milo were both rescues.
George was from a puppy mill (stud) and was kenneled all of his 5 years except at breeding time…he was such a mess when the local humane society seized him, they deemed him unsalvageable and scheduled him for euthanization. He was a lot of work to get him back to health, but we had him for just over 5 years and he was one of the gentlest dogs I have ever owned.
Milo also was a rescue; he was poisoned and was not supposed to live. They had to do surgery on his stomach and when we got him he was just 1 year old and still had staples on his belly. Other than a couple little issues over the past 10 years, he has had nothing out of the ordinary.
Archie our newest addition to the family was after much heated discussion between my wife and I. I was leaning towards another rescue but she wanted a pup so she could see one grow up. After one trip to a local breeder I quickly lost any defense in that argument!
I have had a few different breeds of dogs over the years, but I can’t see life without owning a bulldog now, they have such a personality and for a dog that is built like a brick wall, they are very gentle.
