[MENTION=3859]englishbulldogLA[/MENTION] - welcome to the site, you came to the right place to become educated on bulldogs... so, let me be the first to say bulldogs are not and should NEVER be fat - it is amazingly unhealthy for them.

Please be sure you do your research not only on a breeder but on the breed itself -- they are high maintenance and have many health issues (breathing, allergies, joints, etc) even when considered healthy.

We have several very good breeders on this site and they will be along shortly to provide more info

great Reply I have been doing slot of research on the breed and I don't want my bully to be unhealthy fat but I seen some bulldogs and there tall and skinny with a long muzzle and that's the kind I don't want to have. I pretty much want one that's short and has a good health weight

These were most likely American Bulldogs... they are tall, thin and look some what like Pitbull.

Bulldogs (aka English) are stocky, all chest and muscle with a flat face/nose

researching the breeder will help you determine the build and size of your bully. You can see the parents and bloodline. I would check for local breeders first, it would be very important for you to physically see the parents and the breeding site to determine a good breeder vs a Back Yard Breeder and Puppy Mill.

If you want the "standard" with the big ol head barrel chest etc you will more likely pay more than not. I would start with the bca and their list of breeders. Do not shop by price. If you plan on buying a bully price is not really the issue and if it is then I would suggest saving for a longer period before buying. The initial cost is really nothing compared to what buying a cheap one will cost you in the long run. Good luck on your search. bulldogs are certainly a special breed and worth the wait by far! :)

I totally agree with the above posts. Do your research, first on the breed and if you decide you still want a bully then be sure to research any breeder you may choose. Ask for references,pictures of past and current litters. What are their breeding practices. If they are a reputable breeder they wont mind. If they do? More than likely they have something to hide. Good luck on your decisions.

Olde English Bulldogs are taller and leaner. There are so many English Bulldogs in need of rescue!!! Perhaps you should look into it as well. Most , if not all are expensive bullies that for one reason or another ended up in rescues.

I suggest you check out the Bulldog Club of America's website because they have a breeder referral section where all the breeders have to meet specific requirements to be on the list. These are usually breeders that have alot of experience in breeding bulldogs for both show and companion. The website is www.bca.org and then click the link for breeder referral. All of these breeders are BCA members and very well known throughout the country and some throughout the world.
Do your homework on taking care of these guys and don't buy one over the internet.......don't be fooled by internet websites that are all glamorous and brag about their bullies being TV stars, or etc.
