Here are a few early pictures of Gargoyle's Black Ogre (a.k.a. Ogre). He's a Renascence Bulldogge (not be confused with a Olde English Bulldogge). They show him between the ages of 1 and 2yrs. You'll notice he's thicker in some of the photos... he was just older and more filled out when those were taken. He continued to fill out even more until he was 3yrs old. 

Ogre is a double bred Gargoyle's Black Omen son. He's large for a Renascence Bulldogge weighing in at just over a 100 lbs ripped and lean with his ribs showing. He out weighed his father Omen by 20+lbs.

I have owned many dogs over the years and Ogre ranks up there as one of my favorites. He had a great temperament and was extremely smart... he was a special dog. JMO. He lives on through his offspring and their descendants. Ogre's grandson Gargoyle's Joker reminds me a lot of him. 

Ogre had tons of potential training wise. Unfortunately our training together was cut short due to a severe back injury I sustained on the job. Had that not happened I'd have all kinds of good training photos with him like I do with Omen, Loki and some of my other earlier dogs who I had more time to train and work with.

R.I.P Buddy... see you on the other side.


*Some people maybe wondering... what's the difference between a Gargoyle Renascence Bulldogge and a Olde English Bulldogge? 

The answer is... the 2 breeds have different foundation breed make ups behind them. At one time I owned and bred some Hermes Bulldogges and did some breedings with Greg Hermes. I also owned a few American Bulldogs out of some of the top ABs at that time. I then decided I wanted to take my breedings in a new direction and thought i had the perfect dogs to begin to do that. I wanted to create a bulldogge breed that better represented what 'I' wanted in a alternative working bulldogge breed. 

That said...
I crossed my Hermes line Bulldogges into some ABs I had down out of Johnson's Rebel Rouser III and some Sure Grip Kennels dogs I owned down from Sure Grip's Freddy Kruger. I added in a little English Bulldog, a nice looking Bull mastiff(!) and a couple nice quality Band Dogs... the Band Dogs were a Pitbull and English Mastiff cross. One of the pitbulls used was a Old Family Red nose and the other Pitbull was a Sorrel line pit. The black and the chocolate colored dogs in my Gargoyle RB line with brindle or with brown points on their legs in dogs like Omen, Ogre and Golem come down from the Sorrel Pitbull used in my Gargoyle RB's foundation makeup... it's why you don't see those makings in non Gargoyle bulldogges.... they don't have Sorrel Pitbull in them. 

My dogs look different from other Bulldogge and OEB breeds because their breed make up is different and because i used functional working ability as my guide to how i wanted them to be physically structured. I wasn't breeding for colorful bully dogs that sell well online... i was breeding for functionally sound athletes with a good working temperament. I used working and training my dogs out at Redstar Kennels as a testing ground for my breeding stock. 

Because of these things... when one of my Renascence Bulldogges is crossed into a OEB dog you don't get a Gargoyle looking dog that will produce Gargoyle RB looking dogs... you have a mixed breed OEB/RB mutt. That doesn't make these mixed breed dogs bad... it just means they aren't Gargoyle line RBs and they aren't and OEBs and they shouldn't be misrepresented that way to those buying them.

My issue isn't people crossing their OEB dogs into RB dogs from my breed... my issue is with people misrepresenting these mixed breed bulldogge crosses as Gargoyle line dogs... they aren't... they also arent pure bred dogs that will reproduce true to type... they are mixed breed RB/OEB bulldogge crosses with 'some' Gargoyle dogs in their background. They don't represent my breed or my bloodline and they shouldn't be carrying my kennel name.

If someone sold you a dog for top dollar that has "some" Gargoyle in its make up misrepresenting it as a Gargoyle line dog... they ripped you off. If it doesn't come from me or someone working directly with me it's not a Gargoyle, it's not a OEB or a RB.... It's a MIXED BREED bulldogge cross. (*sorry)
