Description:
Celia Mae was rescued from a high kill shelter. She was orginally found as a stray and transfered to our rescue. Although her owners came looking for her at the local shelter they were not able to reclaim this sweet baby but did tell us that she was impregnanted by their Beagle.

Foster Update:  She’s a sweetheart!  I know her personality may change a bit as the pups get bigger and weaned, but she’s rather calm and very friendly.

• Leash Manners – Still learning, freezes when the leash goes taut, I would recommend a harness rather than collar/leash.
• Crate/House Training – Was not housebroken when she came to us. This is still a work in progress, although I believe she would do well in a crate considering she does not have accidents in the room where she stays with her babies. I do not let her out unsupervised in the house.
• Socialization – Very friendly with everyone she encounters (all sexes, ages, races)
• Energy Level and Exercise – Moderate – she is walked an average of 8 times a day (due in part to potty-training as well as time away from her babies).
• Daily Structure and Schedule – Up by 6 and out for a walk, breakfast (Blue Buffalo Puppy kibble and canned), play time with other adult dogs in the household, then back in her room with the babies. Throughout the day (approx.. every 2 hours.at most) she is walked with the other 2 dogs, then allowed some play time before going back to her room. Dinner around 5:30 (because she’s nursing I keep food and water in her room all day, but she’s becoming accustomed to the schedule especially considering she seems to think the other dogs get something special) she’s fed BB kibble again mixed with homemade brown rice, chicken and veggies. Walks and play time continue through the evening. Last walk and bedtime are between 10-11.
• Confidence Level –  On her own (babies in another room) she’s very calm and affectionate and has a playful puppy attitude with the other household dogs. This is not the case when her babies are around, although she remains submissive to humans.
• Obedience Training – The only training she has received is what she’s getting from the other household dogs. She’s very smart, strong willed, but smart and I have no doubt that once there aren’t 9 puppies to care for she will be easily trained. She is highly food motivated, which will make it even easier.  
• Behaviors – I won’t say food aggression, but there is a food intensity. She wants to eat her fill from the other 2 dog bowls before moving on to her own. She begs and tries to get in the lap of a human that is eating. She didn’t like to wait her turn when treats were being given but that is resolved. Still working on the potty training.
• Personality Quirks – Extremely affectionate, likes to be close. Has been friendly with every human she has encountered. Gets along with other dogs, primarily male (she hasn’t done well with females – but this may be a new mother thing).
• Ideal Home – I think any home where she will have plenty of attention would be perfect. She doesn’t need a large house, or a large yard, but she does need and crave attention. She doesn’t get upset when you leave but she wants some of your time when you’re there…even if it’s just being on the couch next to her human. This dog could easily live in a shoe box…with some baby talk and a good pet from time to time she would still thrive.

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, early Bulldogs were used in the bloody sport of bull bating. Some of these dogs emigrated with their masters from England to America. Eventually the English Bulldog was bred down in size and his personality was softened, but the American version remained a larger, fiercer dog. The American version has longer legs and more speed and agility than the English show dog. Thanks to the efforts of John D. Johnson of Summerville, Georgia the American Bulldog exists today. After he returned from WW II he was disappointed to find that, like the English Mastiff, they were almost completely extinct. He then decided to gather the best he could find from all across the rural south and bring them back from the brink of extinction. He has been breeding these dogs longer than anyone else in the world and his father bred them before him. He is an old man now (in his 80's) and these dogs have always existed in his family. He is the sole reason why they exist today. If it were not for his efforts they surely would be gone. He has been breeding them non-stop since then. The American Bulldog has also been used as a guard and in hunting bear, wild boar, squirrel and raccoon. They have even been trained to drive cattle and guard stock from predators. Farmers prize these dogs for their stamina, protectiveness, intelligence and working abilities. Some of the American Bulldogs talents are hunting, watchdogging, tracking, weight pulling, and guarding. An American Bulldog should never be confused with uniquely different breeds such as the American Staffordshire Terrier or the American Pit Bull Terrier. The American Bulldog is a brave and determined, but not hostile dog. Alert and self-confident, this breed genuinely loves children. It is known for its acts of heroism towards its master. These dogs have fought wild dogs, bulls and even fire. It is said "fighting off one of these dogs is like fighting an animal that possesses an alligator's head and a python's body." Yet when called off by their handler, they immediately obey. No wonder they are said to have "true grit, true devotion and true love." Because of its strong protective instincts, the American Bulldog should be well-socialized and obedience trained at an early age. Some may be aggressive with other dogs and reserved with strangers. They need to be around people to be truly happy. This breed tends to drool and slobber. They have a life expectancy of up to 16 years.
