Kallibulls Bulldogs
Hi,
our names are Michelle and John Kalligher. We live with our
bulldogs alongside the Minnesota River Valley. We got our first
bulldog, Wrinkles, in 1996. There was no question that Wrinkles
stole our hearts.
In 2004 John convinced Michelle that showing and breeding Bulldogs
would be a great activity. After all, we loved the breed and so did
our kids and grandkids. So, John traveled to Long Island, New York
and acquired Ch. Cherokee Happy Jack from well known breeder, Cody
Sickle of Cherokee Bulldogs. In addition, we picked up our first
girl, Ethelred's Jolly Jill from breeder and friend, Ellen
Rich.
Jack was out of Ch. Legacy Only Calvin Klein. "Calvin" is the
second most show wins of all Bulldogs, in U.S. history. Jill is out
of Ethelred and DiToros lines and also has an excellent pedigree.
After getting Jack and Jill home, John started to work on showing
Jack. We started showing him at about 9 months. At first we used a
handler. After we got familiar with how to show, John traveled and
handled Jack himself. Jack finished his championship at 18
months.
Since Wrinkles, we've owned 7 bulldogs. We can attest to the fact
that Bulldogs are an absolutely wonderful breed. They're good with
family and children. They're cute, loyal, and never mean to
houseguests, although some guests are intimidated by the size of
their head and jaw. However, looks can be deceiving, that ferocious
look hides the fact that Bulldogs are just big teddy bears. They
love to play and cuddle. Their biggest joy seems to be laying on
the couch with their family, which we enjoy equally. Oh, and don't
forget their face. That permanent smile exudes a certain joy that
all Bulldog owners feel.
We'd love to have you come and see our Bulldogs. John loves nothing
better than talking about them. If you're just starting to think
about Bulldogs, call us and we can fill you in on the breed.
Bulldogs aren't for everyone, but every one of our owners are fully
taken with the breed. s
