About Us
 |
| The
Goetschius Family: Rear: Sam, Marilyn, Sonya Front: Randy, Sophia |
We
were very patient in obtaining our bulldogs, and it took great persistence
on our part to be able to buy what we wanted. Of course we were very
picky about what we wanted and being show people helped some of the
other breeders put faith in us and our abilities..
We
have been breeding only to select top show Champions to build up our
own show program, and sell what we can not keep. At several weeks we
have a veterinarian do a health exam and evaluate the pups for conformation
and temperaments. At that time, whomever placed their deposits first,
gets to pick their pup out in that order. This way we hope the pups
will be placed in the "right" home (ie: couch-potatoes going
to the sedate homebodies ..... and the more lively pups going to more
lively people who would appreciate their activities, as well as the
show prospects going to the more likely show homes.). This seems much
more fair than selling the pups at just a few days old by color alone.
We
keep extensive records and worm every 2 weeks, give boosters every 3
weeks until they leave here. As with all breeds, the pups go thru an
"Impressionable Period" and we will not ship until they are
safely out of that as it could cause irreparable damage to their personalties.
It is a time when they are very worried about loud noises, sudden movements
and "things". I believe it has something to do with all their
senses becoming very active suddenly. Anyway, different pups go thru
this at varying times in their babyhoods, but almost all are out of
it by 10-12 weeks. Meantime, we socialize the pups here, in our home
with pets and our three children while still trying to keep them from
being overly exposed to diseases.
We
are located north of Joplin, Missouri.
Please feel free
to write, email or call us if you have any questions. We respond to
all inquiries.
Best Regards,
Randy and Marilyn Goetschius (and family)
