As a proud owner of an English Bulldog I feel compelled to inform people considering buying a bully of some important things to consider before purchasing a bulldog. Since I own one of these delightful dogs I have learned that a potential owner should consider the following before buying. Each potential owner should consider the costs involved, investigate the breeder they are buying the puppy from, and honestly evaluate the bulldogs general personality. These tools will prove quite helpful in deciding whether or not an English Bulldog is right for you.

If you are like most people interested in buying an English Bulldog you probably have been researching how much it costs to own one of these dogs. If you are looking for a great bargain on an English Bulldog you picked the wrong breed. You can't be frugal in picking one of these dogs. They are going to cost you plenty. If you do get one for a great price you need to know that you are potentially gambling with future potential health problems and chronic diseases this breed is known for. Pick a dog with the mindset of adding another member to your family. Generally, you can buy a bully from a respected breeder anywhere between $1,500-$3,000 dollars. Wow, they sure are expensive. Be skeptical of offers that sound to good to be true. Any reasonable person would not sell a valuable perfectly good product for much less then its value. You're not going to find a new Porsche for free nor are you likely to find an English Bulldog for free either. Some people do. However, these folks either know someone who breeds English Bulldogs personally or have adopted them from a reputable agency. If you do respond to something that sounds to good to be true via the internet prepare yourself for possible identity theft, unwanted cookies and spyware being installed on your computer, and a long list of spam in your inbox. Never give out your email address, phone number, or any personal information when responding to these type of ads. Use your common sense before you waste your time on something that is most likely a scam.

When looking for a breeder be aware that there are good English Bulldog breeders and there are bad English Bulldog breeders. A good breeder sells their puppies right out of their home. They know their dogs well and keep them in a safe, clean, healthy environment. These breeders generally can't help but show their love for their puppies when showing them to potential customers. Be aware of how the dogs respond to the breeders. If the dogs are scared and seem uncomfortable with the breeder make a note of it. You don't want a dog that has been potentially mistreated. Make sure that you are able to meet the parents of the puppies and observer there temperament. Compare the parent's temperament. Make sure they are not too shy, nervous, overly hyper, nervous, or aggressive. Again, use your common sense when meeting with the breeders and ask lots of questions. A good breeder will appreciate your questions and should not become elusive in answering your concerns.
