How do I know if I'm ready for a second bulldog??

I'm sorry it didn't work out, and that the bulldog was not the one you were expecting.
Like your fiance says, when the time is right for you to get another bully, you will know it and it will happen!

Thanks [MENTION=1904]cali baker[/MENTION]! Until then i'll just oogle over Tate and his cuteness

Aww.. You aren't the Debby Downer! Like your fiance said, the right one will come along when he or she is supposed to. I am sorry you were so disappointed! It is hard when you get your hopes up and it doesn't work out. I am surprised she asked if it was a problem. Just keep your chin up and keep looking around at the rescues. I bet another one will win your heart in no time.

Awww thanks [MENTION=1906]GatorRay[/MENTION], you're so sweet

Just wanted to share with you where I am with all this...

If everything goes as planned, I'm hoping to bring a new little guy or girl bully into my household come October. That gives me almost 5months or so to "prepare"...and Tate will be 9mos old by then. I'll definitely keep you all posted as things go along...

We got our first EB in the of March. I've been begging my wife for over 5 years to get one and she finally said yes. Now she is in love with him and the words came out of her mouth "should we get another one"! Well Bubba is now 18 weeks and as soon as my wife said those words I went looking for Bonnie, we found her and she is currently 6 weeks. I will be picking her up at the end of this month. I hope Bubba and Bonnie get along great. We have 2 indoor cats also male and female, they will not be happy about this addition.

Once you've got the Bully Bug, you've just gotta have another.
I've just got a 3 year old rescue and my existing dog is just coming up to 10 months old (he's a big lad n looks older)

In my opinion, I think it's better and easier to get another when your existing dog is between 6 & 10 months old. That's before the adult hormones kick in, especially if you've already got a male dog,testosterone surge can make them territorial.
Not so much an issue if you've already got a bitch and add a dog, because she will always be the boss.!!

Hope this helps. Best of luck with your search.

How exciting for you! Your Bubba is quite the athelete on that skateboard! and Bonnie's too adorable...what a sweet little girl. Congratulations!

Well, I just got off the phone w/Tate's breeder. She had emailed me today that she had a male puppy available and to call her 'cuz she knew i was thinking about a 2nd bully. Seems that a potential buyer of one of her litter she had back in early March backed out, she gave the deposit back, and she's now looking for a new home for him! He's just over 3mos old now and is cute as a button...so she asked me if i was interested to let her know...

So, now i'm considering taking him. He is Tate's half brother (same dad). I wonder if this is meant to be...but i don't want to jump into anything either. Yikes, what would you do?

If you know you can take of him financially and emotionally, GO FOR IT! Take it as a sign that your breeder called you. If mine did, I'd say, I'll see you on the weekend! (I wonder if she goes on this site. )

Remember, us here require pics before you leave the driveway!
