| Rico, Sandy , Alex and daughter Kristy were horse people before Bulldogs. They raised, trained and showed several breeds of horses and the original Showtime prefix came from the Morgan horse breed. They compete in South Florida, New Hampshire and all of the New England States. Sandy and her family came from the Morgan community with Several Regional and National Wins to their credit. After Sandy sustained a severe back injury, Rico was told if he wanted his wife to continue walking he should dispurse the horse interests and get a new hobby. Showtime Bulldogs became a reality in 1992 when Joyce Anderson of Sandstone Bulldogs, placed two bully puppies. We learned to love the breed very quickly and won the first time in the ring at a local match and were bitten with the show bug. In 1992 our first litter was born from a lovely pet bitch and a Titus son, Millcoats Sandstone Amos, (the pet bitch grandfather was “Goober”) and beginners luck, came our Ch.Showtime Moet, our fist Bredby Champion. We had wonderful luck and managed to finish ten homebred champions and on September 26, 1997 became inducted into the BULLDOG HALL OF FAME. CURRENTLY WE HAVE FINISHED A TOTAL OF 135 DOGS FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. Sandy Ballesteros Showtime Bulldogs |
