Breeder and Puppy Owner Guides

Four guides for new breeders and new owners. Veterinary references, with how we apply them, veterinary review pending, and every medical decision left where it belongs: with your veterinarian.

The library

Read Before You Need It

Each guide is long on purpose. Use them during the litter, not just before it. Start with the one that matches where you are.

01

Birth to eight weeks

Newborn Puppy Care

The first twenty-four hours, warmth by the numbers, feeding and weight, how to read a puppy, the dam after surgery, weaning, and go-home day.

  • Temperature and humidity tables by age, from Merck and VCA
  • A red-flag table: what you see, what it may mean, what to do
  • Weaning week by week, with what not to feed
Read the guide

02

Before the litter

Pregnancy and Whelping

Timing from ovulation, feeding the pregnant dam, the last week, why Bulldogs are delivered by planned C-section, and recovery.

  • Due dates from progesterone, not the calendar
  • Signs labor is near, and the signs that mean call now
  • C-section recovery checklist for the first two weeks
Read the guide

03

Puppy to adult

Bulldog Nutrition

Slow growth for sound joints, how to read a food label, when to switch to adult food, body condition, treats, and what the evidence says about supplements.

  • What an AAFCO statement is and why it matters more than the brand
  • The growth-stage plan and the long-term plan
  • A supplements table: what is shown, what is not
Read the guide

04

Breeding to TANK

How Stud Service Works

What happens from your first message to the breeding, how timing is set, the collection options, what the fee covers, and what we need from you.

  • A step-by-step timeline from inquiry to breeding
  • Progesterone timing explained in plain words
  • What is included, what is not, and what we never promise
