Bulldogs from Knapp Creek in their new homes...

We got the pug puppy and the bulldog a week before Christmas. We named the pug Payton and the bulldog Domino. They are the best dogs I've ever been around and they can't get enough of each other...our older pug is not the greatest fan of them, but puts up with them. Domino likes to do laps in the pool and hang out on the raft (I forced the pugs on)! I'm moving back to California soon with Payton and I think she will miss her new friends...may have to visit you again for another!!!

Hi there, we got Tasha about a year and 3 months ago and is the best dog we have ever had. She weighs about 60 lbs. and acts just like a little kid. She loves attention and can do a variety of tricks. She loves to go for rides on the golf cart, four wheeler or truck. Oh yeah she also never misses a road trip. She also likes to spend time just lying around enjoying the beautiful weather.

This is our son's best friend Zeus. The dates are wrong on the photos but Zeus is about 2 years old now and doing great. Our son, Dylan, loves this puppy so much. We are looking to get a Maltese soon. They should be quite a pair:) Thank-you Gerst Family for the addition to our family.

Joe Gerst and Family, It has been over 3yrs since I got my bully Cyrus from you guys. You may remember him as "Little Diamond". He has been the best companion (and probably the smartest) anyone has ever wished for. He gets to go everywhere and is the most friendliest dog to everyone he meets. He really enjoys torturing the cats and playing with my mother's dog when we go over there. He has such a personality it's almost like you are dealing with a little kid sometimes!! He cocks his head to the side when you talk to him and his ears perk up and he gets so excited when you say words that he knows so well. I also want to mention that he does anything you want him to when it comes to getting a treat!! Food is by far his favorite thing (next to his squeaky and going for a ride). At 3 1/2 yrs old and 65lbs he still thinks he is a little puppy and loves to cuddle and lay in your lap on the couch. He loves his home in Monroe, WI and loves playing in the snow in his little sweaters :) Thank you so much for the perfect friend and please share Cyrus with everyone on your web site in paws for pictures!!!!

Dear Joe & Connie,
This is the Cantrell family. We purchased Max from you in February, from the 12/13/04 litter. We are so happy with him. We are considering breeding him. He has made best friends with our 3 and 4 year old boys, he won't do anything unless they tell him too. We moved into a bigger house with a fenced in yard and he loves it. We are really enjoying him. We are even considering another if we do breed him. You guys were great! Thank you so much.

Dear Joe and family,
Lena and Lucy our getting very big as you can see with these pictures. Lena is the brindle and Lucy is the white one with tan spots. As you can see they are quite the pair. Thank you for all your help.

Hey remember this little girl? I am the one from Alexis, Illinois that was the truck driver. She was born on Dec 12th. I think well she is doing very well and she has been in every state in the United States and some of them more then once she loves riding in my truck and made a great truckers friend.

Joe and family,

Here are a few pictures of our beloved kids, Bailey (Bulldog) and Lexie (Basenji). We love our girls very much and would like to thank you again for Bailey. I don't know what I would do without her. She is a fantastic dog and you have been such a support to us even after the sale. Bailey is doing great!!!!!!!! She is now just over nine months old and 45 lbs. of love and joy. Consider us lifelong customers. Please share our pictures in your Paws of Pictures area. Bailey is certainly a beautiful bulldog and we want to share her with all of your past and future customers. We get tons of attention with Bailey and have referred alot of people to your facility and will continue to do so. Thanks again and we wish you and yours the best as always.

This is Molly. We really love her. She is really smart. Gets along with all our other dogs even the cat, although the cat has a different opinion on that. Thanks so much for working with us to get her home to North Dakota. She is a delight to our family.

Hello, we got Max from you last July. He is 9 months old now and doing great. He has really adjusted to our family and loves our Jack Russell "Molly". He also loves to spend time playing in the snow with our 3 young boys. He is full of energy! He makes a great addition to our family.

I just wanted to drop you a quick line and thank you so much for our bulldog. He really finishes our family out. The kids really love him and he love them to. We have had him about a year and we can't imagine our family without him. Our other two bulldogs like him also. They do have their moments. Thanks again!!!!! Hope you enjoy the pictures.

I just wanted to thank you for breeding such wonderful bulldogs. Samson is 60 lbs and 11 months old now. I thought that bulldogs were lazy dogs, but Samson has a much energy as any other dog. His favorite game is tug of war with his daddy. Samson has been a wonderful addition to our little family. He loves our cat Ferris, they are always playing with each other and chasing each other around the house. I have enclosed a couple of pictures you can put on your paws for pictures and thank you for Samson we couldn't ask for a better dog.

Here is an update on our bulldog puppy "duke". He has matured to 65 lbs!! He is the comedian in our family and loves every minute of it! He has been taken on almost every vacation and loves camping with the horses. He is a mommy's boy and actually pouts when he can't go with! I have never seen such personality in a dog! He has no idea that he is not a human, and even has his own computer chair to sit on so he doesn't feel left out!! He is the biggest attention getter from anyone who happens to see him! Thank you ever so much.

Thanks Joe and families for our Lena Loo. She loves her new home and we love her too. Awesome bulldog! Chloe, our lab can't seem to do anything without her. They are two peas in a pod. Lena now weighs around 55 lbs.

Hello Gerst Family,
We cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful bulldog puppy. Clubber is fantastic and we love him so much. He is doing well with obedience and house training. He picked up quickly on potty training and he knows all the basic commands such as sit, down, stay and come. Clubber is a very social puppy and is very popular with our family, friends and neighbors. I've attached 2 pictures of Clubber for your collection and I will keep you posted on his progress.

Thanks again for Emma Rae- as you can see she has settled right in to our household - we love her! She eats alot already - very hungry and we're trying not to over-feed her. She's already gone potty 3x outside and 2x inside. We love her.

Dear Joe and family,
Thought we would drop you a line and show how big Lenny has gotten. He is the cutest bulldog! (we think anyway!) He truly makes us laugh everyday and is so sweet and loving! He loves to snuggle in bed at the end of the night and has a ton of fun torturing our cat Lucy and our other dog Noah! There are definitely times they get fed up! He cant help it though, he just has a lot of energy! Thank you so much for bringing him into our lives and we will definitely be getting another dog from you in the future.

Dear Joe, Connie, and family,
We couldn't resist sending you a picture of the bulldog puppy, Rambo, we purchased from you in August. He is now almost seven months old. He has been fun to watch grow and develop into a well behaved young bulldog. Already he has learned many commands including: sit, down, come, high five, not only with one paw but will also do it with his other paw.
Thank you again for such a great puppy.

Dear Joe, Sending you a recent picture of Ellie. She won our hearts from day one. What a good dog she is too. Very easy to train, and so affectionate. don't believe she has ever napped on the floor. If someone is sitting you can be sure to find her asking to be on your lap. Sits by my feet while working in the kitchen even. We would not have asked for a better dog if we could have ordered her with all the qualities we'd hoped for. We have decided that if all bulldogs are like Ellie they must be the best kept secret of the dog breeds, because we can't imagine why everyone wouldn't want one. Thanks again for our life long friend.

I just wanted to thank you again for all you did in getting our new Bulldog "Boomer" home to us in New Jersey. When I heard that you might not be able to ship him because the airlines do not ship Bulldogs when it's over 75 degrees, my entire family including myself were crushed. We had come to fall in love with that puppy from just the picture on the web and all the great details you provided. When you called me back and told me that you were going to fly him in to New Jersey on your lap I was so happy. You truly didn't need to do that...but you

did and I am eternally grateful for that. Boomer is everything we hoped for and more - beautiful, well-adjusted, healthy and already with a great personality. He is the new shining star of our family! Thank you again for all you did. You truly went above and beyond the typical breeder. Consider us a life-long client!

I bought a bulldog puppy from you last summer. You might remember. You actually flew him and another pup out to us in Newark NJ. He is doing GREAT. Very happy and healthy. I have attached a very recent photo of Boomer for you to see his SIZE!!!
