English Bulldog Breeding Services
Whelping

Many first time English Bulldog breeders do not realize it, but whelping and initial puppy care for English Bulldogs is an around the clock job.

First of all, a caesarean section is required to deliver the pups (current stats indicate that 95% of English Bulldog births are via c-section). There are several reasons why c-section is a necessity in Englis Bulldogs:

• the size of the head and shoulders of the puppies makes it difficult for the female to "push" through the entire delivery
• as bullogs are a "short-nosed" breed, they are more prone to overheating during the birthing process
• the high incidence of "water pup" which cannot pass through the birth canal and can possibly block the entire litter from birthing

Secondly, once the pups are born, they require hand help when feeding. This requires 24-hour supervision during feeding. In addition, the bulldog mother may accidentally lie on the puppies without realizing it, resulting in suffocation o the pup.

Because Puppychase Kennels knows that many people are not able to deal with the around 24-7 duty required, we do offer whelping services to local breeders who breed their female to our studs. Please e-mail us at longely32@yahoo.com or call us at 770-787-0155 or 404-569-9235 to find out more.
