I am not a dog owner, but I do appreciate the unique personalities that dogs have. I love watching the Westminster Dog Show every year to see the different breeds and watch them with their owner/trainers as they walk (and run) for the benefit of the judge and the public.

So when I heard about this unique Bulldog collection, I thought it would make for a great subject matter. Most people can either identify with the love of a particular animal or the art of collecting.

I have been known to collect varying objects besides framed art. There is my collection of small houses made from metal, ceramic, and glass. Then you might smile if you were to see my tiny tea cups and saucers: some hand painted, others gilded.

So I hope you enjoy reading about one man's passion or obsession in the collection of Bulldogs.

Here's the latest article from the Art Appreciation site at BellaOnline.com.

Art collecting can be seen as a frivolous pastime of the wealthy. Hobby enthusiasts can also enjoy it. A Massachusetts estate containing Bulldog collectibles will be presented for auction.
