Breeding English Bulldogs

[KYS]

Welcome to Pet Talk..

Giselle and bckrazy pretty much posted what you need to do
if you are seriously thinking about breeding and breeding the right way.

1: I would suggest going to the AKC web site and looking up the "official
breed club". Than start corresponding with that breed club.
You also can join and start attending a local breed club in your area before
you even own the breed.

2:Usually their are one or two "good" breed pacific e-mail forums where
many rescue, show breeders and pet people have joined.
This is also a good way to introduce yourself to others and sit back
and learn.

3: start attending local dog shows and when the handler/owner is not busy
they usually do not mind answering questions about their dogs etc.

4: Take your time and do your research. Learn who the reputable
breeders are. It is helpful if you try to learn about genetics and
make sure the breeder you choose has knowledge and honest
about the genetics their dogs lines regarding health issues/faults etc.
(if it sounds to good to be true usually it is)

5: Make sure the breeder you choose is a good mentor who will help
you for the life of the dog with all questions. A good mentor
will help you with showing, health screening and any other questions you might have pertaining to your dogs. A good mentor is very valuable and will usually make a life time friend.

6: Gets your dogs titled and during this time do the required health tests you need to do on your breeding pair. IF your dogs do
not pass the required healthy tests, than do not breed your dogs titled
or not.

Good luck

Thank you Vela. I have now changed my mind a little. If you honestly have reasearched and you think you can afford the dogs then breed. But if you know nothing about breeding, English Bulldogs,ect. that would be a bad idea. Good Luck! But a word of advice: If you want opinions/suggestions then please do not be offended by people's posts.

First of all, this thread is old. Second, anybody that has no knowledge of breeding should not be breeding. Few people here are against reputable breeders that have the knowledge. And that site you posted seems to have no authority in the breed.

This thread is indeed old, did you join just to complain? Shows your intelligence right there, which makes anything else you post after that seem almost irrelevant. Nobody on here is a purebreed Nazi, we just don't beleive in people who have a lack of basic breeding knowledge going ahead and breeding dogs they know next to nothing about as far as health and characteristics, and adding to the pet population problem. Your link is basically pointless in regards to the many dogs out there put to death every single day because people continue to breed dogs when they have no business doing so. If all you have to say is negative, please don't bother to post here, if you would like to be constructive and try to give information, please refrain from being so antagonistic right off the bat, because that won't win you any friends here. Have a nice day.
