I so agree with everyone. My brother-in-law got their English Bulldog puppy for over $2000, he is pet quality with limited registration. There were only two puppies in his litter, both pet quality pups. The dam had to get a c-section, went home and nursed the pups for a week. It became evident that the dam had complications with her uterus, wouldn't nurse the pups and stayed at the vet for 2 weeks (at least, I dont remember exactly). She then had to be spayed, they had to remove the entire uterus. You can imagine how much this must've cost the breeder!! They luckily had another bitch who was able to raise them, but she had 4 pups of her own and Ben and his brother had to be bottlefed. Again, huge cost and huge amounts of time. Then, of course, the two puppies had to be wormed every two weeks, vaccinated, and got checked by a vet every week. Not even counting the health tests that had to be given to the sire and dam, this litter, the c-section, the emergency vet stay, the spay, the bottles/milk, and the time amounted to MUCH MUCH more than the $4000 they recieved from selling the two puppies.

Bulldogs are one of the most unhealthy breeds out there, because they are man-made and their appearance is the result of breeding mutations over many generations. They cannot breed naturally. They are very prone to luxating patellas, hip dysplasia, skin disease/allergies, breathing problems, heat exhaustion, etc. All of this is agrivated when Bulldogs are overfed or underexercised and become obese. Most of the people out there looking for an English Bulldog don't realize this, they want the dog because its "cute" and "lazy", and when the health problems start surfacing the dog is usually returned to the breeder or turned in to rescue. Does your friend know all of this? I think you really should talk to her about breeding if she is still considering it, I don't think it would be rude at all. Just express your concern and mention all of these problems to her. If she needed extra money, the last thing she should've done is bought a Bulldog (or any other dog)!
