Been looking at picking up our 3rd english bulldog, I would like a male. I have been searching around mainly on facebook and anywhere else were I can find a really nice male. Does anyone know why the sudden craze for all these rare colors? Seems like it's getting a little out of hand :yes: Every breeder now(maybe it's just the ones I am finding) are constantly talking about blue this lilac that tri color quadrirainbow purple glitter color lol and they are marking them up 2x the cost just to get this "rare" color, seems like soon enough everyone is going to have a blue bulldog and the rare colors are going to be white lol

Is there a list out there of reputable breeders? I am looking for a male, would like a full solid color and a big head, not really liking these "mini" versions people are putting up, i want a big fat boy

I want something similar to this guy here, doesn't have to be black but looking for a dog that is predominately one color :)

It is against our forum rules to post breeder names publicly, so members with recommendations will have to provide that information via PM.

The "rare" color craze is driving me insane. They're cute sure, but I barely recognize them as Bulldogs. Also, from the research I've done, some of these rare colors go hand in hand with genetic abnormalities.

So totally agree with this and I've read the same thing too about genetics.

You can also search on Bulldog Club of America site or AKC site and then do your homework and research. Good idea to stay away from the 'rare'.... not a good thing at all

I would rather call them "odd colours"....I was wondering if people want those in other breeds too...I would like to see a brindle poodle....
Also never do they mention that they have DNA tested or done any other tests for for the pups, other than colour.

I was also a little bit amazed to find out that you can even register a dog, other that breed standard, to AKC...Isn't The American Kennel Club an organisation that should some how try to keep the breed standard....can you register mixed also? Since a for example a gray and white bulldog must have some other breed in it.

Because the AKC is a piece of crap organization. But they don't set the standard, the Bulldog Club of America does here.

Also, I read somewhere that by the 5th generation, these mixed breeds are considered purbred and can be registered with AKC. No idea how true it is but that's what I read.

Worst part about all this is the merle gene that can cause a crap load of health issues.

Anyone breeding for color should be fined, penalized, thrown in jail and castrated! OK, maybe that's going too far.
None the less, these scabs on humanity's *** don't care about the betterment of the breed, all they care about is the money.

You're being only a little harsh....

Got it. Our Kennel Club is totally different, quite the opposite, even thinking they're controlling the whole world dog breeding...They would never register anything than the breed standard. Then again they take word of the person doing the registering. I know of a white and black bulldog registered as brindle-white....

Ok well I'm glad Im not the only one, if you know of a good breeder that breed big ole fat boys let me know. As far as the colors go, I don't mind them, I think they look pretty cool(didn't know about the gene stuff just solely speaking of the color) but to charge 2x,3x,4x,5x seems a DUMB, some of their heads and body structures seems really weird though too which makes me think something could be wrong with it

Agreed^^^

Agreed^^^ The BCA website will hopefully have a great show breeder near you.

Agreed^^^ I love the pups, -not their fault, but the breeders are POS!

You're being only a little harsh....

Exactly, this is the ONLY way a tri color or any color can register in AKC. Only if they mark a different color, because NONE of those colors are on AKC papers.


Ok well I'm glad Im not the only one, if you know of a good breeder that breed big ole fat boys let me know.

Good luck! Hope you find the pup of your dreams!
