Happy New Year to All Our visitors All around the World! We wish you a Safe, Happy and Prosperous 2008 :)

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

We look forward to an exciting 2008. Zarah and Bear’s puppies have arrived and are just gorgeous, will post pics soon.

Baldor’s first generation of progeny will be around later in the year. We look forward to mating him with Matilda and possibly Zena. These Aussie Bulldog puppies will be 3rd generation, which we are very proud of, and are confident they will carry the consistency and create an exciting new direction in our breeding program.

2008 will also see a complete revamp of our website. The new site will be a little more Australian, including many new photos, and lots more! This will hopefully happen over the next 2 months, but as we all know you can’t put a time limit on something that requires creativity and an artists perspective.

All the Best Everyone for 2008

Kisses and high fives from all Balerow Aussie Bulldogs :P
