I just got word that a friends dog has passed on. He was old and lived a good life. We knew it was only a matter of time before he passed on but to me it was still unexpected. I just got off the phone with his owner, when it rang and I answered I wasn't expecting the news I got. Everyone who has seen the "offspring size" thread he is the sire to the female I'm planning on breeding the male to. He is greatly missed and will never be forgotten. He had all the qualities of a true Bulldog It is both unfortunate & good in a way that he was only bred a couple times. He produced good dogs both times. The 1st litter however is older and past their prime. The last litter is only a little over 2 years and its very fortunate this last litter was done late in his life. The dogs from this litter are doing nicely and he will always be in them and live on through their offspring, his grand children. This was already going to be an awaited breeding on the part of the male, now that her sire is gone it means even more to me. These pups will be extra special and have a special place in our hearts. I'm sure one day an action a pup will reminds us of grand dad
It is great that he is at rest and had a very wonderful, full, and good life and that he lived out his life span. However, there is still a void now that he no longer breaths.

He was 12 years old. He was acting like a young dog when I was up there last month, but it was his time.

Its great he had a 2nd litter, litter number 2 was better than the 1st IMO.
