At Rugerlane, health and adherence to the CKC Bulldog Standard are foundational principles. The kennel emphasizes recommended health testing and purposeful pairings designed to support sound genetics and overall well-being, aiming to give each puppy the best possible start in life and reduce the risk of common health concerns while maintaining true breed characteristics.
Rugerlane actively participates in the conformation ring, with multiple dogs achieving notable wins, including Best in Show and top breed placements, reflecting both quality breeding and thoughtful preparation for competition. Beyond the show ring, the program values showcasing the versatility and spirited nature of Bulldogs through participation in various activities — from Rally and Agility to scent work and herding — challenging outdated assumptions about the breed’s capabilities.
Education is a central part of Rugerlane’s mission. Shannon encourages prospective owners to thoroughly research the Bulldog breed, understand its unique care requirements, and ensure compatibility with their lifestyle before welcoming a dog into their home. With a belief that life is enriched by the affectionate, clown-like personality of Bulldogs, Rugerlane is committed to matching puppies with families who will provide loving, lifelong homes.
Whether producing show-quality champions or well socialized companion-level dogs, Rugerlane Bulldogs exemplifies breeding with integrity, transparency, and a genuine passion for bettering the breed.
