Close Counts in Horseshoes And Tornadoes!

The map shows how close the English bulldogs came to the fierce storm that ravaged Pocahontas which is three miles to the north of Puppy Gal.


If you drive about a mile along Pocahontas Road and take a left on Tomlinson Road for about a mile, you will be at the location of the nearest tornado. 


The bulldogs did wake up while the wind and thunder was making all of its noise.  But,  then decided it was more important to get a nap so the snoring continued.


The A-I of Cherry Cookie and Rhubarb Pie went well this morning.  That makes three females bred in the last thirty days:  
Dixie Pie w/ The Jazzman ... April 5, 7 and 9
Rosamond w/ Elvis II ... April 7, 9 and 10
Cherry Cookie w/ Rhubarb Pie ... May 1, 3 and 5


Gestation is 63 days on average.  I'll be releasing puppies to their new homes when they are eight weeks old.  They will have been vet checked, wormed and all puppy shots will be current.  A non-refundable deposit of $250 will hold a puppy for purchase.  Purchase price will be from $1,600 to $2,000 depending on the puppies conformance.


Warning to Breeders:  The old Nigerian scam is being recycled again!  I just received one by Email.  This is how it works:  A breeder will get an Email saying that in no uncertain terms that they want to buy your puppy.  They will pay shipping.  They will pay through a third party.  (Note Well)  You will receive one or two drafts for hundreds of dollars in excess of the price of the puppy and shipping charges.  You are supposed to deposit the bank drafts (such a Wells Fargo, etc.) and send a check for the difference.  As soon as the check is in their hands, the bank draft is stopped and your check is cashed.  Don't do it!


This scam won't work with me because I don't sell to pushy people -- you bulldog owners are sweet!  I don't ship -- it's too hard on the puppies.  I only let people have my bullies when meeting them face to face!  




The other scam that I'm familiar with is setting up a website with my pictures of bulldog puppies and selling them for five or six hundred dollars.  There are usually misspelled words, poor English, no telephone number, no real address.  If anyone sees this scam, comment on it on this blog.  I'll set up a page for scams.
