Lovely strong dog puppy for sale to the right home. He is by Hillplace Goodwill ,he comes from a very strong self whelping line ( very important even more now due to rule changes been made by the kennel club ) his dam is Hillplace iron Oxide who is the same breeding as Ch Hillplace Iron lady.   Sure this pup will be an asset as a stud dog no one else apart from us has this line. One of our new girls by Hillplace Goodwill out of Hillplace Iron Oxide ( sister to the great Ch Hillplace Iron lady ).   This little baby will be in the ring in the summer   As the year draws to an end, time to reflect... Bulldog holidays has been very busy with so many bulldogs that now use us, many coming back several times a year. Bulldogs coming from as far as Torquay, Norfolk, Yorkshire, Manchester and Oxford. These dogs have been a delight to look after we truly believe we have the best job in the world.   We get very attached to our holiday girls and boys and are so happy to meet up with them from time to time. It is interesting that very few of these dogs are unhealthy most run around like loonies, all but 2 or 3 have the kindest temperaments. The summer was spent with the dog sun loungers and a shallow paddling pool with the girls and boys basking in the sun ( lucky buggers ). We had a few long staying guests and really wanted to keep them forever ! Nearly all of the dogs settle in well we do have one or two that protest but soon settle, there is always plenty going on around here to keep them occupied.   We finished the year with a bang with our dear Iron lady winning BOS at Bulldog of the Year for her 3rd time. We are taking a break from showing for a while, while we breed some of our girls.   Our self whelping line Hillplace Goodwill Hillplace Golly Hillplace Voodoo Hillplace Gretal Hillplace Bang Bang Hillplace Patsy Hillplace Trinity is being crossed with our non self whelping line and vice versa. We must be the only bulldog kennel in England with so many self whelped at stud .. We are very pleased with the health of our dogs and aim to get nearly all self whelping in time. We have babies in the nest now and are very pleased with them, 2 little girls shall be staying and we are very excited to show them when old enough. We hope to have quite a few more litters to choose some more show stock from.   I have a nice lady who wants to remain nameless that helps once a week and she has proved to be very talented at training puppies to stand and has took control of many that I had given up on as un trainable !   We have taken back 4 of our dogs this year. We had Squeeky who was not quite right when she was born many years ago, we had a lovely foster home for her that took very good care of her but a change of circumstances meant she had to come back, we were happy to see her again and she is back to ruling the roost and telling everyone what to do !   Eloise lived with Ralph`s mum and was spoilt rotten but with Ralph`s mum`s ill health and dear Eloise`s health also quite a concern she has come home so she can have treatment when ever needed. Dear Connie Taylor she is a little twerp her owners found her quite a challenge and she was destructive and a change of circumstances saw her return, I was thrilled I always had a soft spot for her ! Connie does not do outside, she is an indoor girl and will scream like a banshee if you try and put her in the paddocks or kennels. But I will say she has never made a mess or touched a thing since she came back, she just likes to jump on show dogs and make me mad. I hope when our son Ryan settles in a suitable home she can move in with him as she adores him.   Smartie came as a complete surprise in what appeared to be a loving home for a few years we then got an email saying she was to been sold to recoup their investment ! Well a long story and a lot of bad things said about her temperament. Smartie came home and was quite delightful and the kindest dog ever, we found her a very knowledgeable home, when they came to meet her she bought her bone and allowed John ( who is a large man ) to take it off her and hold it while she had a chomb this was the dog that disliked men ! Smartie has settled in very well and we are so pleased John & Jo took her for what she is, a lovely little girl , she made me cry when she left it was a pleasure to of helped her out in her time of need. We have met such lovely people in the breed at shows and it is a pleasure to spend the day with them.   We are unbelievably still trying to move to a bigger place , we have the property , the buyer, we are up and so keen and willing can we get the damn mortgage ! Well never say never we are not beaten yet . While we were busy being occupied trying to move our Hillplace flag has been flown by lovely people that bought pups from us.   Mr & Mrs Brett`s Hillplace Benjamin Button who not only keeps them entertained by his mad antics but has proved himself as an impressive show dog winning Best Puppy dog first time out.   Mr & Mrs Dangerfield`s Hillplace Florence, Heidi managed to persuade us to sell her in a moment of madness. This little girl will be a super star, not all judges have seen it yet but if they can`t see it we can`t be held responsible for them !   Mr & Mrs Graham`s Hillplace Millie is out there showing and has a Best Puppy too. Interesting all three of above were self whelped, we are very proud of them and wish them lots of success. Hillplace bulldogs donated £300 in 2010 between Bulldog rescue, Canine supporters and show sponsorship.       BOS BULLDOG OF THE YEAR 2010 Ch Hillplace Iron lady wins BOS BULLDOG OF THE YEAR 2010.   In the last 4 years she has won BOS BULLDOG OF THE YEAR 2008 , 2007 & RBB 2009.
