Need help finding a reputable breeder

[jj989966]

Hey guys. I'm new to the forum. I apologize...I'm sure this question is redundant. I've wanted a bulldog for YEARS! I'm finally at the point where it makes financial sense. After a few days of weeding out scams and jumping through hoops I'm already getting exhausted. Can someone help me out? I live in upstate NY.

Thanks!

Hi! We can't recommend specific breeders here on the forum...but members sure can send you any info they have here on the site by Private Message. In the meantime..we usually suggest you check with Bulldog Clubs Of America. They can and do recommend breeders that meet their requirements. Good Luck and can't wait to meet your new family member!

Ok thanks! I'll check the bulldog club of america. Any pms are welcome!

Are you willing to travel a bit to pick up a pup? We have members that have driven from Ohio and Colorado to Arizona and others that have gone to other states. Just put that info out too..so you aren't limited to upstate New York!

Sure I'll travel if need be. I don't know if I'm ready to go cross country. Preferably somewhere in the north east.

The AKC has a "Find a puppy" option under the Dog Owner's tab of their site where you can select the breed, your zip code and a certain distance to search for breeders. Local vet office's might be a good place to check also to see if they know of any breeders in your area. I would think the AKC and local vet's would be a reputable source to get leads or even find a breeder. Best of luck!

Although on AKC anyone who has a registered litter can advertise, it does not mean they are reputable. Have you read our puppy buying tips?

Thanks for everyone's help on this. I did find a 6 month old bulldog puppy a couple of weeks ago. I introduced Bailey to the forum
