Additional Bulldog Comments

Great first post! Graci sounds rellay fun. We love Shelties, and have had two. Our dogs were named Hogan and Watson after famous golfers. They are such smart dogs, and so easy to train. Try teaching her to catch a frisbee, they seem to all be good at that. Have fun with her!
