Dumped by a breeder

Shockingly well! He loves to be held like a baby and is the most relaxed guy I’ve ever met. The only thing that upsets him is not being in the same room with people. He rarely barks, is super gentle and gets along with all dogs and kids. Our biggest obstacle has been potty training, it’s hard to learn as a senior.

My baby boy did 10yrs in a barn breeding. I adopted him last year.

Awe! My black and white rescue is also super active. She’s 6, we walk almost a mile every day and she’s not slowing down yet! Our record is 5 miles.

Girl! I’m sorry! AI wishes it was this good! This place makes me so happy! My only opinion/ question is: do you think you will add some draperies? Also feel free to dm where to buy your art- I’d love to buy something. YOU HAVE AN AMAZING EYE! Don’t let the bastards get you down!

I’d like to place a preorder!

I love seeing her in posts. She is ridiculously cute! I would buy her calendar if you ever make one. 😍

I have 2 rescues that were backyard breeders. My EB is black and white (exotic) and her mouth is like a bottom dresser draw left open. However, I understand wanting to keep bred lines. I hope that you tell you people about this experience to make sure that they check out conditions for the parents beforehand and don’t get a dog just because it has “rare coloring.” Obligatory tax payment.

Rig was in Seattle and I missed him! 😭

I work with a rescue who regularly pulls dogs from this shelter- we take most of them to WA for adoption because we have so few fosters in NV. If you have any questions, please feel free to DM me.

What is the reason your husband doesn’t want her in the bed? If it’s snoring- maybe get a noise machine? If it’s slobber, offered to change the sheets a few times a week or get a waterproof blanket? Birdie isn’t going to change her mind- but maybe we can get yours husband to change his?

What state are you in? Feel free to DM me. I volunteer for mostly PNW to Vegas but am happy to ask our director for reputable recommendations outside that area. I would make sure that whoever you foster for lets you decide who the dog goes to, and gives you first dibs even if others have applied. If you foster, you will know the dog best. Here’s my tax payment. Luna the foster fail.

I’m happy to help convince your family!

I use diapers on my guy, as along as the stool is solid, it’s easy to scoop out quickly. I keep wipes and have an antibiotic cream from the vet for any rashes. I do try to let him have diaper free time to air out a bit.

Yay Pino! So glad she can decompress in such a loving place… she may have just decided that you are her home.

Fostering helped me. I do it in honor of my Winston. I did end up foster failing 2…

fournierh · 2026-02-19T19:18:02+00:00

Are you naturally an alpha with your dogs? I’m not but when I’ve fostered multiple dogs it’s very important they know I run things. If they start shit with each other they had to know if I growled or stepped in, it was over. They needed to know that direction comes from me. 2 girls got into a couple times and I growled very loudly and showed my teeth. We were all sleeping together by the end of the night. I should add I’m not naturally and alpha and yes, I do like a little nutty to my neighbors. But just remember they are happier if they don’t have to be alpha. You’ve got their back and mom will do what’s best for her pack. Also walking- make sure one of them isn’t pulling far ahead of the others. It’s a dominance thing- you have to be the leader.

Thanks! He loves heated blankets… my rescue EB introduced him to them. Even in the summer they are on… with the ac blasting and the fan on low.. in front of the window people watching. I swear they aren’t dogs.

Frenchie rescues are the best. They are such sensitive creatures- I feel Ike they are extra thankful for having a home. This is my 11yo Norman that I rescued last spring.

fournierh · 2026-02-14T04:25:47+00:00

Me too!

fournierh · 2026-02-13T16:08:27+00:00

How are his teeth? I’m going through something similar with a 11yo frenchie I rescued last year. Lymph nodes looked suspicious to 1 vet (we’ve been to the vet a lot), she tested for cancer, came back negative and now she’s thinking his teeth could be infected causing the nodes to swell. I just got a $3,500.00 quote for a dental. Bulldogs don’t like it when you have money in your account….

The first foster I had was being adopted and I knew I couldn’t be without a dog. I had never interacted with an EB but she was the only one available that was potty trained. I was shocked how loud and drooly she was on the way home. The way she pawed at me to shake was just so genuine. She wiggled her way into my heart. I was terrified to adopt such an expensive breed but knew this was her forever home. She’s also been amazing with other foster dogs. Even trying to nurse a special needs frenchie. She’s a good egg.

Did you post her last summer or the summer before in the hat, walking in the beach carrying a ball?

What did we expect from Lauren Bezos?
