We purchased our first Bulldog "Tootsie" in February of 2007.  That was just the beginning for what is now Bradley's Bulldog Barn.  Since that time we have been very Blessed to meet some wonderful Bulldoggers.  We were amazed that so many genuine people shared the same love and compassion for Bulldogs as we do.  After Tootsie came along we expanded a little.  We take great pride in our Bulldogs and they stay right here in the house with us at all times.  They are raised around other animals and children of all ages which we feel helps compliment their personalities.  My number one priority when breeding is to produce a healthy companion that has the confirmation and temperament as written in the AKC standard.  We do not breed often - Upholding and educating the standard is key to the survival of this breed. 

At "The Barn", the door is always open and everyone is welcome.  Tootsie has since crossed The Rainbow Bridge but she set the stage for our Bulldogs and her crew will always greet you with a lick and a snort.  I do not claim to have the finest Bulldogs, or the most perfect but that is what I strive for.   I raise my dogs so that they become a reflection of my dedication to Bulldogs – they are my constant beloved companions above all else.  Our Bulldogs are more than I could have ever dreamed of, I can only hope that folks feel the same when they meet them.  If when you leave our site you have a better understanding of how and why we love this breed then we have reached our goal.  If you leave here with a Bulldog then we are glad to have you as part of our extended family. There are just no words to describe the devotion and dedication we have to Bulldogs, anyone that owns one of our dogs feels the same way.   We remain in constant contact with all our Bulldog owners and ALWAYS are excited to hear about their progress, what they have learned and just how their day went.  This is our life and our passion.  Bulldogs have made us who we are.

 We are very active in rescue and support our breed in all aspects.  I am glad that you have taken this time to get to know us just a little and hope we can help you get to know Bulldogs as we have for their even temperaments, loyal dispositions and hilarious antics that seem to go on non-stop.  We pride ourselves on waiting for the right home for a puppy and not the first to show up wanting one.  I encourage anyone interested in adding a Bulldog to their family to always explore rescue first – while some of the dogs in rescue have an unfortunate past or a history that has not been kind to them, they are in no way less deserving of the unconditional love and devotion they will show you.    They are not “damaged goods”.  At one point they were the puppies you are looking for right now.  DO YOUR RESEARCH – ask questions, look at lots of breeders, explore The Bulldog Club of America website, talk to people and be ready to answer questions.  Ask me about rescue if you are not familiar with one in your area.  Rescues are not for everyone just as puppies are not.  There is plenty of love to go around from both 

Dandie is the first – but not the last of our Bulldogs that we will show.  The camaraderie and good sportsmanship of Bulldoggers worldwide is as much an addiction as the Bulldog breed – get involved in your Bulldog community, advocacy, rescue and all positive aspects of the breed – it is what makes being a Bulldogger such an honor and privilege.    

 I would in no way be where I am today without the knowledge, advice and patience of several, in my opinion, experts in Bulldogs.  This has been a great ride so far and we are more than excited about our future with this breed.  My many many thanks to Dave Richardson in KS, Pam & Bruce Holmes in KS,  the Waltmans in KS, The late Claudine in OK and of course for the one and only Tootsie!  There are tons of others that have lent their gracious support, knowledge, education and advice over the past several years and for that I cannot express my sincere gratitude in just words.
