Buying An English Bulldog Puppy
People by nature are bargain hunters. When searching for an English Bulldog Puppy this is NOT the time to bargain hunt. You are picking a family member not an inanimate object. Bulldogs are not a breed to cut corners on. They are not a breed that is inexpensive to purchase. English Bulldog moms require c-sections to have puppies. English Bulldog puppies require around the clock care for the first 3 weeks of life. If you want a healthy, conformational correct English Bulldog puppy buy from a reputable breeder. Indiscriminate breeding can result in many health issues not to mention Bulldogs that look high on leg, small heads, narrow chests, short heads, lack of jaw upturn, lacking substance etc. Buying from a backyard breeder or puppy mill you have no idea what you are getting. A well bred English Bulldog is a joy to own and a joy to look at. An English Bulldog puppy should be heavy in body, heavy boned, short legs, and a head in proportion to body size. A long time breeder of Bulldogs will know which bloodlines are healthy and which ones have known health problems. It has taken us many years of breeding Bulldogs to get the health, temperament and conformation we want. Our first English Bulldog cost $400.00 in 1979. If you are not willing to spend what it cost to get a quality English Bulldog DO NOT call us price shopping. Our English Bulldogs are from top Bulldogs from around the world. A reputable breeder will not breed English Bulldogs that pass on health or temperament defects. Money motivated breeders will breed and sell any English Bulldog they can regardless of problems.
Bulldog History
In the early
history of the dogs of England, it was said that the ancient British took large,
ferocious, and formidable dogs with them into battle. Early writings have
indicated that the Gauls purchased Bulldogs for use in war and used them, along
with their native dogs, to combat the enemy during battle. Many historians
believe that both the English Mastiff and modern Bulldogs are descendents of
these war dogs of ancient times. However there are differing opinions on the
origin of Bulldogs. While some believe the breed may derive its name
from the bull- like shape of its head, others maintain it came from the ancient
English custom of using English Bulldogs in the sport of Bull-baiting. There appears to
be little doubt, however that an early canine species resembling the Bulldog has
been in existence for centuries.
There are some who consider the Bulldog as a parent dog, while others contend
the Bulldog resulted from a mixture of the large Mastiff and the Pug dog. Some
early references indicate that the oldest English spelling of the name was
probably "Bondogge" or "Boldogge" later the name "Bandogge" was mentioned by
William Shakespeare.
Bull-baiting was extremely popular during the middle ages. At the original Bull-baiting in Tutbury, Staffordshire, the Bull wore a collar and was fastened to a thick rope, three to five yards long. The rope was fastened to a stake in such a manner that the Bull could freely circle the stake to watch his enemy the Bulldog. The Bulldog had a short nose so his teeth could better take hold of a bull .The popularity of the sport created demand for qualified dogs. From the thirteenth to the eighteenth centuries bull baiting was a national sport in England. The many stories of the way English Bulldogs were treated are horrible and sad. As well as bull-baiting, Bulldogs were also used for bear baiting, badger-baiting and ratting. There were also contests betweenEnglish Bulldogs and lions. Some English Bulldogs were also matched against Monkeys. English Bulldogs approached near extinction until laws were passed that outlawed most of the hideous uses for Bulldogs. The Bulldog today are totally different in stature and temperament of the dogs of Bull-baiting times.
