LaRoyal Bulldogs Awarded International Pedigree Dog Breeder & Educator of the Year

​LuxLife Magazine is pleased to announce that LaRoyal Bulldogs has been named International Pedigree Dog Breeder & Educator of the Year – UK in the 2026 Pet Products and Services Awards.

The award recognises individuals and organisations demonstrating exceptional dedication within the pet sector, and LaRoyal Bulldogs stood out for its long-standing commitment to responsible pedigree dog breeding, breed education, and ongoing support for Bulldog owners.

Founded in 1997 in the United Kingdom, LaRoyal Bulldogs was established by Sara Lamont and her mother and represents nearly three decades of careful breeding focused on producing Bulldogs that reflect traditional breed type while prioritising thoughtful breeding decisions and responsible ownership. The work has always remained intentionally small and selective, with each litter carefully planned to strengthen bloodlines and maintain the integrity of the breed.

​A recognised name within the Bulldog community

Over the years LaRoyal Bulldogs has established a respected presence within the pedigree dog world, achieving a number of notable milestones including Crufts Best of Breed and Top Bulldog honours. The breeding work has also produced multiple Challenge Certificate winners and Junior Warrant winners, alongside international conformation judging appointments across Europe and South America.

However, the judging panel noted that LaRoyal’s contribution extends well beyond success in the show ring.
​
All Bulldogs are raised as house dogs within the home environment rather than in kennel facilities. This approach supports early socialisation and helps ensure puppies develop confidence and adaptability before moving to their new families.

​Responsible breeding within a complex breed

The Bulldog is one of the most recognisable dog breeds in the world, but it is also widely considered a complex brachycephalic breed that requires careful breeding decisions and experienced management.

LaRoyal Bulldogs has built a reputation for a thoughtful breeding approach that includes established pedigree bloodlines, health testing, and responsible stud selection. Maintaining traditional coat colours and correct breed type remains an important part of preserving the heritage of the breed.
​
This careful approach reflects a philosophy centred on producing well-reared Bulldogs capable of thriving as companions in modern family homes.

​Education and long-term owner support

In addition to breeding, LaRoyal Bulldogs has distinguished itself through a strong commitment to education and community engagement.

Through initiatives such as the Bulldog Owners Club and The Bulldog Owners Podcast, conversations regularly explore topics including Bulldog health, responsible breeding practices, and the realities of living with brachycephalic breeds. These discussions aim to help both prospective and existing owners better understand the breed and make informed decisions.
​
This focus on education and ongoing support was a key factor in LaRoyal Bulldogs receiving the International Pedigree Dog Breeder & Educator of the Year – UK title.

​Looking to the future

As LaRoyal approaches thirty years since its founding, the focus remains firmly on the future.
Breeding healthy pedigree brachycephalic dogs is likely to become increasingly challenging as political agendas and public scrutiny surrounding brachycephalic breeds continue to intensify. Responsible breeders must therefore continue to adapt, learn, and make careful decisions to safeguard the long-term welfare and future of the breed.
​
With nearly three decades already dedicated to Bulldogs, LaRoyal looks ahead with excitement to what may be achieved over the next thirty years, while remaining committed to careful breeding, honest conversations about health, and continued support for owners who share a passion for this iconic breed.
