We found it very, very difficult to get a rescue English Bulldog. There aren't that many out there and those that are didn't fit into our household because most needed to be "only dogs", or couldn't be trusted with children or cats, or they had major health issues. We were on two lists for several months, but never even got a "bite".

I think $2400, even for a pure bred English Bulldog, is too much, much less for a mixed breed! They are hard to breed and our Mack was from a litter of 8 (one died), and it was artificial insemination and a C-Section that brought him into this world. That means more money to purchase one, but still, $2400 for a mix??? I have no idea what my husband paid for Mack, as he was a "gift" for me, at a time when I was really grieving badly over the loss of one of our Golden Retrievers. But, I know, for sure, it wasn't that much, as the breeder initially sold her puppies for $1800 and my husband told me that he did not pay that much.

They are precious dogs, for sure, but I am certain that your friend can find a breeder that he can trust and not pay that much.

Good luck!
