Alesia
Former Owner • Breeder • Founder (In Loving Memory)

Alesia was a pioneer in the world of Rare Color Bulldogs, passionately breeding in the exquisite shades of Lilac, Blue, and Chocolate since 1972. With over five decades of experience and a deep understanding of canine color genetics, she worked closely with leading geneticists to refine and pass on her knowledge—always learning, always teaching.

Her commitment to preserving the true Bulldog look while advancing rare color lines was unmatched. From day one, her goal was to merge vibrant color genetics with strong, show-quality structure—and she succeeded, leaving behind a lasting legacy of excellence and integrity.

Alesia loved mentoring new breeders, generously sharing her wisdom and guiding countless others with warmth and expertise. Though she passed away a few months ago, her vision and standards remain the cornerstone of our program. We are honored to carry on her work and uphold the legacy she built with so much love and dedication.

Chris
Former Owner • Breeder • Kennel Manager

Chris, the eldest son of the late Alesia, was born into the world of dog breeding and spent much of his life immersed in the care and genetics of Rare Color Bulldogs. For years, he worked behind the scenes at Rare Bulldogs Kennels—supporting operations, managing care, and learning directly from Alesia, whose expertise and vision shaped the foundation of the kennel.

As Alesia began to step back from day-to-day operations, Chris took on a more active role, continuing to uphold the family’s dedication to excellence in breeding and preserving the signature Bulldog look.

Chris and his family share a lifelong love for dogs and are proud to have contributed to the legacy of Rare Bulldogs. Though ownership of the brand has since transitioned, the values and care poured into this kennel by Alesia and her family remain a meaningful part of its story.

 We Are a Family-Built Legacy
Though Rare Bulldogs is now under new ownership, we proudly honor the incredible family behind its roots. This kennel was built with love, sacrifice, and a deep passion for the breed—values that continue to inspire us every day. We'd like to recognize the family members who played a major role in shaping what Rare Bulldogs is today.

Becky
Alesia’s Sister • Lifelong Bulldog Enthusiast

Becky, Alesia’s sister, has been a vital part of the Rare Bulldogs family from the very beginning. Her love for the breed and unwavering support made her an essential figure behind the scenes—whether helping with daily care, providing emotional support, or simply being present through the ups and downs of kennel life.

As a family deeply bonded by a shared passion for canines, Becky helped nurture the foundation Alesia built, offering her time and heart to what became one of the most respected rare color Bulldog programs in the country.

 Memphis
Alesia’s Grandson • Former Website Artist & Designer

Meet Memphis, Alesia’s talented grandson and the original creative behind the Rare Bulldogs website. With a sharp eye for design and a deep love for the family legacy, Memphis brought the brand to life visually—creating a digital space that reflected the passion and personality behind the kennel.

Though he is no longer the active designer, his work helped shape the look and feel of Rare Bulldogs for many years, and his creative touch remains a meaningful part of our visual history.
