Built to Move, Bred to Last

King & Luther achieve Silver🥈status and become available for stud

I’m very pleased to share that litter brothers King and Luther have both achieved Silver Bulldog Breed Council status on their first birthday, the highest level attainable at their age.

This achievement confirms them as part of a new generation of fully health-tested LaRoyal Bulldogs, bred with longevity, structure and functional soundness firmly at the forefront. Silver certification is not a formality. It reflects a dog that meets a demanding standard across health, construction and movement, and reaching this level so early is a genuine credit to both dogs and the generations behind them.

King and Luther are also half-siblings to the infamous Lacey, winner of Top Bulldog 2013 and Best of Breed at Crufts, placing them firmly within a proven and consistent line that has already stood the test at the very highest level of the breed. That shared lineage matters. It reinforces predictability, sound planning and breeding forward with knowledge rather than trend.

​What This Means for the Breed

With Silver status confirmed, King and Luther are now available for stud. This decision has not been taken lightly. Stud availability follows proof, not promise.

Both dogs consistently demonstrate traits that are genuinely valuable to the breed:

• Clean heads, free from excessive wrinkles
• Short, compact bodies with excellent balance and correct toplines
• Strong, correct bone without heaviness
• Correct shoulders supporting the wide front, the breed is known for
• Sound, unrestricted movement, free from lameness or restriction

​Our boys are presented in hard condition, carrying no excess fat and no over-wrinkling, allowing their true structure, balance and movement to be seen clearly and honestly.
​
Structural soundness matters. Movement matters. A Bulldog should be able to carry itself correctly and comfortably, and both King and Luther do exactly that.

​A Responsible Step Forward

Stud dogs should contribute positively to future generations, not simply reproduce themselves. King and Luther represent the next chapter of LaRoyal breeding: independently assessed, health-tested, and built to support welfare without sacrificing breed character.

They will only be considered for suitable, health-tested females where the pairing makes sense for the breed as a whole.
​
I’m proud of both boys, not just for the accolade, but for what it represents. Thoughtful breeding, proven outcomes, and Bulldogs that can move freely, live well and strengthen the next generation.
