Bucky, The Old English Bulldog

Bucky is honestly the quickest learning dog I've had. I've had him for a month. He's 13 weeks old.

We've had a few challenges and it's a huge transition having a puppy, but he's almost completely house trained as long as I can take him out every 4-5 hours. He's crate trained.

Our friend who's staying with us realized he learned to sit and lay down within the first two days just by being with our other dogs because when she gave our dogs the commands, he did those two with them.

Since then, he's learned to crawl, roll over, high-five, shake, wave good-bye, heel, drop it, leave it and sits politely to be leashed and waits to be released to eat his food and go in and out of doors.

We still have issues with listening when distractions are present, but he appears really motivated by food and positive attention.

He's an expert cuddler, loves our Boston Terrier and belly rubs from the neighborhood kids, and like any good bulldog, he has a strong independent streak.

He actually really enjoys the scent work training I'm doing with him and I think it satisfies his drive to work. He's starting his puppy class next week.

Bucky is such a lovable little guy and so far I think the OEB breed is a really a great fit for any family who understands bulldogs in general.
