English Bulldogs are not an easy breed to raise. English Bulldog puppies are born via C-section and must receive around the clock care for the first three weeks of life. Our English Bulldog puppies are often bottle fed since some mothers have no milk. English Bulldog momma's will often lay on puppies while nursing so have to be watched carefully at all times. If provided with the proper food, medical care, and vaccinations up until 8 weeks old, the breeder invests a lot of time and money in the litter. If you add the cost of stud service, shipping the semen, etc. it gets quite expensive. If you want a healthy well bred puppy, properly socialized, and given vaccines on scheduled intervals then do not try to find the cheapest pup possible. You may end up spending more on vet bills than you paid for the puppy.
You may say, "I only want a pet," or "I don't need papers" or "It doesn't matter where I get an English Bulldog as long as it is in my price range." Many people have made this mistake only to regret it later on. Reputable breeders are breeding for betterment of the breed not to make a profit selling as many pups as possible. Yes, it does matter who the parents are. Where do you think your puppy gets looks, temperament and health? Look at the parents... if you don't like them chances are you won't like the puppy when its grown. Indiscriminate breeding produces health and temperament problems. You think the breeder doesn't matter? Who do you think plans the breeding, cares for the pups, provides food and medical care? |

| If you choose a Bulldog breeder that has one motivation - money - he or she is going to buy the cheapest English Bulldogs they can find to breed, regardless of family history of health or temperament problems or how good they look according to the breed standard. Most don't know or care of the family history behind the dogs they are breeding, nor do they know or understand the breed standard. They are going to cut corners on food and health care, and one of the most important things of all - LOVE. Pups that are ignored and not played with and socialized do not make the best pets not to mention the potential problems if raised in a filthy environment. Breeder experience is invaluable to you after you buy a puppy. Choose your puppy and breeder wisely. |
