In case you haven’t heard…

🪩🎶 THE DANCE PARTY HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED! 🎶🪩

When your mom is Ciara and your dad is James Brown, there was really only ONE appropriate theme for this crew. 😂💃🏻

We are so excited to officially introduce our 8 little dancing machines:

🤎 Riff
🤎 Groove
🩷 Rhythm
🩷 Tempo
🤎 Disco
🩷 Melody
🤎 Boogie
🤎 Jive

5 handsome boys + 3 beautiful girls who are already completely stealing our hearts. 🥹

Most importantly, every single puppy is doing amazing and thriving. They’re eating, sleeping, growing, and doing exactly what tiny little potatoes are supposed to be doing. ❤️

And Carmen… I genuinely could not have asked for a better mama. From the moment the first puppy arrived, she stepped into motherhood like she was born for it. She is attentive, gentle, loving, and completely devoted to her babies. Watching her with them has made us incredibly proud. 🥹

After all the planning, anticipation, sleepless hours, and excitement… the “Level Up” Ciara × “Get On Up” James Brown dance floor is officially FULL. 🪩🐾

Welcome to the world, little ones.
Now let’s watch these babies GROW. 💜

🚨 PREGNANCY CONFIRMED!!! 🚨

I have been DYING to finally say this…

CARMEN IS PREGNANT!!! 😭💜🐾

Our girl SWK’s CH “Level Up” Ciara of Rise Above and ABKC/BRC Grand Champion “Get On Up” James Brown officially have babies on board — and to say we’re excited about this litter is a MASSIVE understatement.

Because these aren’t just going to be cute puppies…

These babies will be BAD. ASS. 🔥

James Brown brings power, structure and PRESENCE, while Carmen brings the beauty, balance, athleticism and style we love in an Olde English Bulldogge.

✨Putting these two together wasn’t just about making puppies — it was about creating the next generation.✨

We’re hoping for that incredible combination of bone, substance, movement, temperament and undeniable bulldog presence — dogs that can turn heads in the show ring and still be everything an OEB should be at home. 💜

Two exceptional bloodlines. One hell of a pairing. And BABIES ARE OFFICIALLY ON THE WAY. 😭🔥

🐾 Expected September 24th–30th, 2026 🐾

I don’t know if I’m emotionally prepared for tiny Carmen × James Brown babies running around my house…

Actually, that’s a lie.

GIVE ME ALL THE WRINKLY LITTLE MONSTERS. 😂😭💜

Now we wait… and let Carmen cook. 👩‍🍳🐶🔥

✨ The breeding has officially taken place! ✨

We are excited to announce that Soundwave’s Grand Champion “Get On Up” James Brown has been bred to Wonderland’s Edith of Rise Above! 🐾

At this time, this breeding is NOT confirmed. We are now in the waiting game and keeping our fingers crossed for a successful pregnancy. 🤞

This pairing brings together two exceptional Olde English Bulldogges with outstanding structure, temperament, and pedigrees, and we couldn’t be more excited about the potential this litter holds.

Stay tuned for updates! We can’t wait to share the results with all of you.

💜 Pending pregnancy confirmation… exciting things may be on the horizon!

Thank you Scott Hurst for the beautiful banner! 🙌🏻
