I'm still ashamed to admit we did not get Brie from a breeder. We saw her in a pet store n fell in love. We had been discussing getting another dog for months and had even decided on an english bully. I had been doing tons of research on their care etc. then we went in for something n she was there. I do think we lucked out with her tho, she is just perfect. All of my dogs have either come from the humane society or breeder.
The four I have now came from breeders-whose places I visited, whose vets I spoke with. My two who most recently passed away came from rescues, who did home inspections.
I got Fred and Ethel from a breeder! I would NEVER by from a pet store.... I found my breeder the night my first bulldog had to be put down, and it's funny she pretty much lives right around the corner... she is great!
Brutus came from a breeder, and Frank the Tank came from a rescue. I am ashamed to say I had no idea so many bully babies are in rescue or we would have gone that route initially. I will only ever rescue from here on out and I will only ever have Bulldogs. I truly love my lab babies but a Bully is such a different animal. It's like they aren't even dogs. Like I really need to explain this to you crazy bully people!!!!
