During the mid
1980’s I took up a challenge, and this where I have arrived by the end of 1998.
Specifically, I overheard Delmar Shackleford state that he had finished over one hundred Champions. I was in awe, but somewhat skeptical. I started out to prove a point about Delmar’s veracity, but in hind sight we owe him a debt of gratitude for this endeavor.
Having saved AKC Gazettes from the early 1970’s, I started a database on my new Kaypro Computer. When I completed that I had a compulsive need for more information. During a trip to NYC, I stopped at the AKC Library. I mentioned what I was doing and said they had a file of all Bulldog Champions from day one through 1972. The file was on 3x5 cards. They said they could run me copies of the cards on 8x17 sheets of paper at a nominal charge per sheet, I jumped at the chance. 3900 records later I had a complete database of all AKC Bulldog Champions. I have maintained the list which now excedes 6900 Champions.
As I updated computers, I have expanded the various databases in my collection. Some are included on separate pages, but are too cumbersome to be listed. I summarize each below, and explain each on its own venue.
Bulldog Champions: All AKC Bulldog Champions as published in Official AKC Publications. I have included those published in Studbooks before 1889.
All Dogs: A composite of 16000 dogs gathered from various sources. All Champions, their Sire and Dams, all Bulldogs registered by AKC between 1887 and 1899, English ancestors of the earl imported dogs, dogs from our kennel, and where I can find some information linking a dog to a Champion.
