Kalligher Bulldogs News and Highlights

July 2008

Well, not much has gone on in the last year. I had my hip replaced and the dogs haven't gone to shows because of my bad joint. We, of course, still enjoy each others company and have great times together. As I heal we'll get back into the show circuit. We hope to have a couple litters in the Fall, so keep checking back.
