My Brother's English Bulldog

Aw I love bulldogs! They're so cute. Contemplated getting one of them but apparently they have alot of health problems. They're bloody expensive too, between £1100 and £1600 for a pup! Your brothers is very cute

She doesn't have any health problems but she did cost about 2k

Someone I know spent £5000 on one here! I was shocked to say the least!!

They are soooo expensive but worth every penny I'm sure. They're gorgeous.

my uncle tells me they are hard to get because they have been xbreed to much and now we dont have many pure breeds left?????

my kids call them Rolly dogs hehehehe.. they are cute... hope it is insured !! 2K.. booody hell

terrible what the breeders have done to the bulldog over the years,lets hope the staffy is not going the same route ehh..

What a beauty!

There's a pup round here that looks very similar in colouring to your brother's dog. He cost £1650! He has champion parents & 3 champion grandparents. They castrated him last week, so looks like he's not going to keep the line going!

He's a real cutie, lovely temperament, very friendly. But I saw a dog snap at him the other day & he gave a really good account of himself, despite his young age (5 8 months old!).

i know someone who paid 2k for a bitch , she died 2 months ago aged almost 3 of a heart attack

She is so cute I think some breeders are so greedy there is no justification to charge so much for any dog

aww what a face !!

I know someone over here too that paid a fortune for their bull dog., and it died at a young age too !

lovely dogs, but i could not have one, they can hardly breathe

how can anyone call that a beauty?? bred in deformity ,cant breath,have terrible eye problems,skin etc etc etc ,this is why so called breeders exaggerate these features.poor things ..

Fantastic breed. I recently lost my almost 10 year old. She lived in three different countries and six different houses. Great with other dogs and people but the health problems can be concerning. Very nice pic.

no matter what anyone says i think they are the one of the most gorgeous looking dogs - after staffs of course. gorgeous pic

I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The good thing is that breeders are finally trying to tackle the health problems, but it will take a long time & a lot of arguments! They're not all totally unhealthy, although none of them are super-fit. If you keep them slim & exercised properly they can actually be quite lively, strong & healthy, believe it or not.

A freind of mine had one called eric and he was nearly 12 when he passed away a very good age but she paid the earth to keep him healthy he was on medication for everything

have to agree with you there and the dog in the pic is under shot, just another problem with this breed.

But they are supposed to be undershot! That's the standard!

their only allowed to be slightly under shot, and when their mouth is closed you shouldn't be able to see the six small teeth in the front of their mouth.

shane where your avatar gone to?

I know that, but undershot is undershot! There will always be various degrees of it. Like in staffs and Bull Terriers where an undershot jaw is undesirable, there will be those that have a 'reverse scissor' bite, those that are slightly undershot and those that are very undershot. It's a very difficult thing to breed for, and you'll always get varying degrees.

Looking at the pic I can only see two incisors, and even then that could be because the dog's mouth is slightly open.

Anyway, Blue put the pic on here for us to have a look at, not to pull to pieces!

nice thanks for clarifying that.

hey steve whose shane i think you have your wires crossed sherlock

im a sucker for a bulldog how can anybody not love that face   

Aww missed this how gorgeous   

A friend had one and he was a pretty boy just like the girl in the picture. Almost same coloring too and boy could he snore. Tip snore too but not as much as Odis did.
