I don't think he has been neutered either so I suppose if we did get him we would get that done at the same time. Although I don't think he will take to kindly to us having to get those things done just after getting him. The thing is he looks lovely, he is exactly the type of dog we are after...

Hi guys, I was looking at a dog and noticed that the owner has mentioned that it had one eye corrected when he was younger and now he has cherry eye in the other eye. He is 2 years old but I am not sure if the owner has had the problem eye treated yet. As much as I really like the look of the...

Added to my wish list :)

Dog harness that fits into the safety belt....that is a brilliant idea. Did not know you could get one!!! Is the crate for the car the same as the one yo uwould have in the house? Do you strap it in anywhere?

I'm glad that you have clarified what I thought, frequent stops for very long trips, highly unlikely that we will travel a long distance to anywhere for more than 4 hours, and make sure you have the appropriate supplies. Thanks for the input, greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the info. A few things to think about now. Do they get quite stressed while travelling? I live in Scotland so we only get 1 hot day a year!!!

Hi guys, my wife was talking with someone who has a EBD and they basically said that it wasn't a good idea to travel long distances to go and get one as they have difficulty breathing due to their squishy faces and they could die. I'm calling bull on this one as I haven't read anywhere where it...

The dogs I have seen advertised are all saying they are microchipped. I am going to try the Bulldog Rescue, I bought the Bulldog Bible from them and it is a really informative read and I like the way they are setup. At least I know the dog has been looked after by them, maybe not the previous...

Thanks for the info guys, it is making me think a lot about it. I look through various sites to see what dogs are available and usually they range from £750 up to £2k form 5 months to 4 years. I am only interested in male dogs, not wanting to breed him either and will probably get him neutered...

Hi guys, I am going to look at dog that is 17 months but what questions should I ask the seller? Also do you think it is alright to get a vet to look at the dog before buying it? The seller is saying the dog is for sale due to family reasons so I think it is highly unlikely should there be any...

Thanks for the advice, it is greatly appreciated. I still need to find a dog which isn't easy and I'm quite fussy about what I want.

Thanks for that, just wanted to make sure it was not something that was a no no.

Hi guys, I am looking at getting EBD but not a puppy, looking at ones from 6 months to 3 years old. Do you think it would be fine to rename or is it a bad idea? I am new to EBD scene and just trying to find out as many things as possible first before taking the plunge. Thanks in advance Mikey

Thanks for all the help guys, really appreciated. I will be honest and say I really had no clue at all about EBD care. My next question is what do you do if you need your EBD looked after while you are on holiday especially with all the daily care required?

Thanks for the welcome Kalyn. Thanks 1Chumly, another thing about the crate, should you provide an area where they can go to the toilet? I'm assuming that you leave it open? One of the problems that I find is that you read conflicting information ie regarding bathing. I have read you should...
