Bulldogs with attitude!

I get lots of email every day and I do try to reply within the same day. I decided to add a FAQ page so that it may help you with any questions you have.

 

1) Do you have any cheap bulldogs for sale? Well I know that most people think bulldogs are way too expensive. They are expensive for many reasons. The first and foremost is that they are a very expensive dog to keep and breed. Most bulldogs are artificially inseminated and most need C sections to deliver the pups. So before you have even one pup you can have a couple thousand in the litter. The general upkeep of a bulldog is time consuming. You mustbe diligent about checking their skin every day for sore spots or potential allergies. You have to keep them free of fleas and other parasites. You must clean the folds around their face and keep them dry.

 

After the pups are born you are nursemaid and chief bottle washer 24/7. Pups must be fed every 2 hours and cannot be left alone with mom. Mom could accidently roll on them and squish them.

 

So all that to say if you cannot afford an averaged price bulldog you probably cannot afford to maintain one with the cost of premium food and vet attention when necessary.

 

Now we do have on occasion an older pup that has not been places as fast as his litter mates. We do drop the price accordingly so the little critter can get to him/her forever home. 

 

2) I work full time and so does my spouse but we want a bulldog. Bulldogs are like most animals, they want to be with their masters. They love people and think they are people themselves. A bulldog does not want to be home alone 10 hours a day crated or caged off-would you? Bulldogs do well in families where one of the members are home most of the day or the person may work from home. Much like a human baby would need to be treated. I am not familiar with the long term effects of doggie day care. Are know there are facilities like this out there and perhaps your dog would do well as long as they have lots of stimulation. I would worry about the exposure to stranger dogs in regards to germs and parisites.

 

3) Is shipping harmful for a bulldog? As long as the weather is not too warm and the flight does not have many layovers. I have had great experiences shipping and receiving animals from other states. It is a nice way to get bloodlines from other areas. Careful planning and preparation will ensure a safe and easy journy for a puppy. I ship pups based on each pups personality and how well I think they can handle the trip. I do not ship before 8 weeks and sometimes wait until 10 depending on the pup.

 

4) How do we get considered to be adoptive parents for one of your pups?  Well, people usually email me with an initial inquiry. I respond and we usually email back and forth. If they get past the "how much is the pup" stage and agree with the prices I set, then we discuss how the prospecitve family is educated in bulldog-ease. I know this sounds like money is the most improtant thing but once the person knows the pups is not dirt cheap they usually move on.  I find that the people who have done their homework and want a quality pup know what they are getting into. They will be the families that will be able to invest the time and money in making a quality home for the new pup. I also refer people to bulldog rescue if they are earnest and I feel they can meet the challenge of bulldog maintinence.

 

Once we have gone over bulldog care, medical costs and home setting we can both decide if the bulldog is right for you. I do not do home studies. I have found that if someone has made it this far in the process they are offering a good home for a bully.

 

5) I want a bulldog but I live in an apartment. Bulldogs do very well as apartment dwellers as long as the new owner is ready for the cleanup duty. I do strongly caution anyone with a new baby bulldog to keep them away from dog parks and other areas where sick animals may have been. New babies do not have all their immunity and can pick up parvo or distemper in grass or areas sick animals have been.

 

6) What do puppies eat? Bulldog pups are started out at our house on puppy food but I do switch them over to a half adult and half pup mix at about 8 or so weeks. At about 4 months I switch to a full adult diet. The reason being is that bulldogs grow so fast that a high protein diet as in puppy food can accelerate the growth process and the pups bones can grow too fast causing skelatal problems later. I always say to check with your vet for the final say. If they recommend somthing different then follow the vets advise. That is why it is very important to use a vet that see many bulldogs in thier practice. They will know what is best for baby bullies.
