Congratulations, English Bulldog!

The Captain at the ranch, circa 1985

For finally cracking the American Kennel Club's Top 10 list of most popular dogs in the USA after an absence of more than 70 years! My husband, a former Marine, and his family have always had a soft spot for the bully, with snow white Matilda and tan and white Captain. Bulldogs have always been an underground favorite - remember The Captain and Tennille "Love Will Keep Us Together" album back posing with their two bulldogs, Broderick and Elizabeth? The current "Rob and Big" show featuring Meaty? And of course, the USMC's Chesty. With average prices in Houston ranging from $1,600 - $2,200; why not check out The Lone Star Bulldog Rescue site and adopt for one less than 1/3 the going rate?
