We had the good fortune of connecting with Natasha Estrada and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Natasha, why did you pursue a creative career?
I chose this because I have ALWAYS had a huge passion and love for English Bulldogs. Breeding them is really a hobby , that has turned into a full time job. I love all my pups and dogs and they all live indoors and get tons of love and attention daily. I hand raise my babies along side momma to be sure no unnecessary accidents happen to my puppies. Doing this allows me to be my own boss, which I also love! Plus I get the benefit of meeting new people and attending shows!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am here today because I have not given up.. No matter how tought things seem, I will always remain dedicated to doing what I do , and doing it the BEST I can. It’s definitely been a very hard long road. I started 5 years ago, following, watching and getting mentored by some of the very best top known breeders around the world. I wanted to know how to do this before doing it. When starting I knew, it was not for just anyone and that this is not your typical breed dog to just have puppies in their own and raise on their own. I am proud of myself for a successful 2 litters back to back, and having many issues and working hard thru them all, and lost no babies. Anyone who knows that breeding these dogs is tough and a lot of work, and alot do not research before trying this. I didn’t want to start and not know anything and kill puppies unintentionally because I did not research what I wanted to pursue myself in. I have learned a long the way to keep your kindness, do not give up,and the stars are your limit.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Well, I live in Yuma AZ and it’s so hot here, not much to do. I would totally take them to San Diego and go enjoy the beach scene, check out all the cool shops along the boardwalk and eat some good foods and drinks.

My mother , for all her unconditional love and encouragement and always making me seek the best in myself. The sky is the limit
