Our journey with Olde English Bulldogges is one of love, dedication, and family. None of this would be possible without the unwavering support of my husband, Matt. Together, we’re raising three wonderful, energetic daughters who share our deep love for animals. They play an important role in caring for our dogs and puppies, and their bond with our furry family members warms my heart every day.

Recently, we made an exciting move from Wisconsin to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where we’re settling into our new home and embracing this fresh chapter of life.

We are an extremely active family and are always on the go. Our dogs are part of our family so most of our activities include them as well. We love to go on camping, fishing, boating, swimming, and on hikes in the summer. In the winter, the dogs like to tag along on ice fishing trips and love to play in the snow.

Our family's obsession with the breed started 13 years ago when we brought home our first Olde English Bulldogge, Bella. Because OEB's are like chips and you can never have just one, we soon brought home another pretty girl and named her Lola. 

Our journey into breeding started in the fall of 2020 when we brought Sokota's Gemstone Agate (Jemma) into our lives. Jemma came from genetically health-tested parents, giving us confidence that she would be the perfect foundation for our breeding program. By 2022, Gemstone Bulldogges celebrated its first litter, focused on health and structure. The pups exceeded all our expectations, and we proudly placed one female and two males into our guardian program to ensure their promising futures.

At the end of 2022, our program grew again with the addition of Mighty Michigan's Victoria's Secret (Vickie). She’s still a young pup with plenty of growing to do, but we’re thrilled about the potential she brings. The possibilities feel limitless as we continue building on the success of Gemstone Bulldogges, and every step forward feels like an exciting new chapter.
