Hi y'all. Well i'm new here and also new to being a bulldog mommy. We bought her 3 weeks ago. We named her Alice because my kids said she was as fat as the cat on Alice in Wonderland. She is extremely playful. We bought her when she was 10 weeks. Here are a few questions i have. And thank you in advance for responding
1. Does it matter that she is not an AKC registered pup? I heard their blood line starts decreasing if they are not AKC.
2. Since she is a pup, she tends to bite-fight. How can I help stop that?
3. I am feeding her Royal Canin. She was being fed Little Bites, but we preferred to feed her something made especially for bulldogs. have any of you fed your dog this food?

Those seem to be all the questions i have at the moment. I'm sure the answers are on here but I'm confused and overwhelmed with how much info is on here. lol! Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.

Welcome and here is my opinion...

1. It would only matter if you plan to breed her.
2. make sure you tell her no or shriek loudly and give her something she is allowed to chew on.
3 Royal Canin is not a high rated food. Check out dog food ratings on this site.

Congrats with your new pup, Samantha is AKC register and I have her blood line tree however I don't think it decreases I asked my friend and he said no. I feed her with Nutro Ultra for puppies and she loves it and the ingredients are great for her I will change it to adult dog food when she turns 1 year old. About the bitting once she starts bitting giver her a toy to chew. Sam wanted to bite my had to play and I stop her and gave her a toy to chew. I never had problems her chewing furniture or anything in the house. I'm also new here and having a EB, trust me we have great advice here I always check them out and I had learned a lot how to take care of my EB. Good Luck

:welcome: to EBN. We are glad to have you here. I hope you get lots of help to all your questions. AKC helps assure that your bully is an English Bulldog and not something else mixed in. It doesn't assure you of having a more lovable bully...:luv:
Please post some pix of your new baby when you can... Thanx for joining.... enjoy! :)

Welcome! Can't wait to see pics of your baby! My babies eat Holistic Select Salmon Anchovy since that is what the breeder was feeding them. I tried to switch to Fromm which is highly rated on the list you've been directed to but my little girl broke out in hives so I changed them back to Holistic Select. As for the bite play I always told mine 'No Bite' and re-directed them to a toy. If I did the shriek or yelp they thought I was playing lol

in regards to the biting, never use your hand as a toy.
