Puppy or Adult you are applying for:​​
Maggie (from the available puppies page)
If no longer available then we would be interested in a puppy from the upcoming Madison x Maytryx litter.
1. Have you done any research on bulldogs prior to deciding to get one? Why do you want a dog of this breed?  
Yes, we have done ton's of research on English Bulldogs but we also have 4 years experience owning one. We both want another english bulldog because they are the perfect type of dog for our lifestyle. They have so much personality and are so full of love and even though they can snore louder than a lawn mower, and they have the smelliest farts, we couldn't imagine our lives withought a wrinkly ball of love in it. 
2. Who will this puppy be for and who will be the primary caregiver? 
This puppy is for us (Sierra and Dale) and we will both be the primary caregivers. 
3. Please indicate what type of dwelling you live in (e.g. single home, townhouse, apartment). Is your yard fenced? If so, please describe the enclosure (height of fence, material / construction, and so on). 
We live in a townhouse and do not have a yard, just a balcony. However there is a large park pretty much right across the street from us that has a walking path around it that people in this neighborhood like to walk their dogs. There are tons of grassy areas for dogs to use the bathroom, play and get some sunlight in the townhome complex as well. We will be resigning out lease here so won't be moving anytime soon, but to have plans to get an actual house with a yard in the future, and any yard that we would have, would of course have a new privacy fence put in. 
4. Do you own or rent your home?  If renting, to you have landlord's permission to own a dog that will likely be 50+ lbs?  What is your landlord's phone number?​​
We rent a town home at The Pines Townhome in Fargo, ND. We rent through Campbell Properties and we have permission to have a dog up to 65lbs. The pet deposit for a dog is already paid as well, and are aware that with a dog, our rent will be $30 more a month. The phone number is (701)639-6175 and their address is:
4924 47th St. S #112
Fargo, ND 58104
​5.  Where will the puppy spend the daytime hours?  Where will the puppy spend the night? 
Daytime: At home or at my (sierra) job.
Nighttime: At home.
6.  Will someone be at home with the puppy during the day?  If not, what arrangements will be made to feed and exercise the puppy?  
If one of us have the day off then the puppy will be at home durring the day. If we are both working, I (sierra) work at a grooming/boarding/daycare facility as a dog groomer and we are allowed to bring our dogs to work with us, so I can bring her to work to hang out with me or play in the daycare rooms.  
7.  Do you have a swimming pool?  If so, is it fenced?
No, we do not have a swimming pool.
8. On average, how many hours will the puppy be left alone everyday?  Where will he/she stay when left alone.
Maybe a couple hours, like if we are out running errands but we are both homebodies so if we aren't at work or running errands are are at home. If for some reason we were both working and I (sierra) for some reason could not bring the puppy to work with me, which would be a rare thing, we have a large kennel downstairs, with a water bottle and a blanket that the puppy would stay in and It would be from around 8-1.
9.  Do you  have children living in the household​​​​​​​​?  If so, what ages are they?
We do not currently have any children.
10.  Is anyone in your household allergic to dogs?
No
11. Have you ever owned a dog?  If so, what breed(s)?  What happened to the dog(s) you previously owned?
Yes, an English Bulldog named Gretchen. We adopted her right before she turned 4 and we just recently had to put her down on April 10th of this year (2018) just 2 months after her 8th birthday. She was totally fine, and seemed normal, then at the begining of april we noticed that she was a little more sleepy than usual and that she would randomly cough. Being that we are both dog groomers and around dogs all day, we both thought kennel cough and took her straight to the vet. They did some xrays and some testing and said that she had a bacterial pheunmonia and gave us some vedication for it. Then after being on that for about a week, Sunday morning she was very tired and not wanting to walk so we decided that we would take her to out vet first thing Monday morning, however she then peed a puddle of blood so we rushed her to the emergency vet that was open on Sunday. She received some blood transfusions and was in the hospital for a few days (we had to pick her up in the morning to take her to our vet and pick her up at night and take her to the emergency vet each day) the vet eventually called me and said that she wasn't getting any better and that she was not herself. He informed me that she had a rare form of blood tissue cancer and that there was nothing they could really do for her since the blood transfusions werent working and she wasn't eating. We made the decision to have her put down so that she wouldn't be in anymore pain. We stayed in the room and held her while it happened. 
Dale has also had a dog when he was younger. It was a healthy chocolate lab that died of old age. Her name was Cocoa. 
12.  Have you ever bred a dog and/ or raised a litter of puppies?
No
13. Have you ever turned in an animal to a shelter or rescue? 
Yes, 2 cats. One was a stray that I found in the bushes in my apartment complex. I was not able to have animals at that time in my life so I took her to the SPCA (back when I was living in CA). Another was a tiny flea infected malnourished kitten that someone left in a box at petsmart when I worked there as a groomer. I already had an alderly cat but wanted to give the kitten a home, so I took the kitten home instead of the SPCA with the intensions of keeping the kitten if she got along with my Cat and that if he didn't I would bring her to the SPCA. I tried it out for about 3 weeks but that kitten did nothing but terrorize my cat so I unfortunately was not able to keep her. I did manage to get rid of her flear and fatten her up a little in the three weeks that I had her though.
14.  Describe any other animals in your household. This includes ALL animals owned by anyone in your household or on your property outdoors, in a barn, kennel, anything (NOT just what you claim as yours and separate others in your household as not yours). (Species?  Size? Age? Sex?  Spayed or neutered?)
Cat: 
   Name: Eddie (neutered, male)
   Age: 14-15. (I adopted him from a shelter and they said that he was approx. 8 or 9 which 
              would make him 14 or 15 right now, however I feel like hes closer to 12.
Bearded Dragon: Name-Desi Age 12. She is in a tank that a dog can't get to.
Betta Fish: Neptune
15.  Have the other animals in your household been around a puppy or dog?  Is so, how did they react? 
We don't let the bearded dragon around cats\dogs for her safety. As for Eddie, he is used to being around dogs. Back home my friend Kayla would bring her lab great dane mix over all the time and my friend Ariel would bring her cattledog puppy over with her son on the weekends. Also back home I groomed a handful of dogs from my home and Eddie was fine with them all. 2 were Tibetan terriers, 2 were poms and 1 was a yorkie. When we brought Gretchen home he was nice but a little standoffish for a week or so but they became great friends. I have tons of pictures of them hanging out together. 
 16.  What do you consider to be the ideal activity level of the dog you hope to own?
Not too active but enjoys a nice walk in the park or around the block in good weather.
17. What do you consider to be the ideal personality of the dog you hope to own?
Goofy, stubborn, grumpy, cuddly at times, loyal, funny, and of course loving.
18.  What gender of dog do you want?  Why? 
Female. Eddie is a male cat so I feel like he would get along better with a female dog. He's been around male dogs and is fine with them, but tends to be less standoffish and more comfortable around female dogs for some reason and I want him to be happy in his home as well.
19.  Are you prepared to make a commitment to this dog for its entire life? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
we are 150% percent prepared and ready.
20. Have you seriously thought out and know you will have time and finances to care for a puppy/dog?
Yes we have. We made sure we got the majority of the $6000 in vet bills from trying to save Gretchen paid off and we also have savings. We are both dog groomers and make commission, so in times where we need extra money, we always have the option to take more dogs to groom. We have 3 emergency credit cards as well so we can always use those if need be. The food Gretchen was on was a hydrolized protein dog food and was $100 a bag so we are already used to paying a lot for food.
21. Do you understand that majority of dogs will need vet care beyond the standard checkups and have problems from time to time that you will be financially responsible for?
Yes we understand.
22. Have you read and understand the contract?
Yes, we understand
23. Do you plan on purchasing a puppy as a pet only or with breeding rights?
Pet only
24. Do you understand limited registration is not to be used for breeding and are required to be spayed or neutered?
Yes we understand
25. Do you understand deposits are nonrefundable and are placed on a particular puppy and applies towards the price of the puppy?  We do not take deposits before a litter is born.  If for any reason you are unable to or decide not to take the puppy you put a deposit on, it can be applied to a future litter.  However, we do not "reward" people for this practice, so you will only be given 3rd pic, of "available puppies".  If not enough puppies are born, you will have to wait longer.  Do you understand?
Yes, we understand.
