English Bulldog Pup For Sale - What You Need To Know To Buy The Healthiest Bulldog

I see it all the time, all over the internet and the newspapers….ads that scream “English bulldog pup for sale!” Yet very few of these future English Bulldog owners understand how and where to find the healthiest pet for themselves and their family. As a retired professional dog trainer and breeder, I can tell you first hand that not every English Bulldog breeder is equal, and the lack of proper knowledge and insight can lead to many problems down the road that can not be cured by specialized training. So listen up, the happiness of you and you’re pet just might depend on it.

The first thing that must be noted when looking for any breeder but with English Bulldogs in particular is the personality of the breeder. Any Dog has a tendency to absorb the personalities of their owners and their parents, especially English Bulldogs. English Bulldogs can have a dominate streak, and this can only get worse if their parents where that way as well…meaning a breeder who doesn’t know how to properly train English Bulldogs.

The next thing to note is whether or not you want to have a mixed English bulldog or a pure bred Bulldog. Don’t jump at just any ad titled “English Bulldog pup for sale”, this will only lead to trouble and an incredible waste of time. If you’re looking strictly for a pure breed, then make sure you know ahead of time that the parents of that litter were pure breed to start with. You can then take it a step further and make sure that the little comes from a champion stock, and that they have certified pedigree certificates.

Last but surely not least is to look for any possible health problems that might affect you’re English bulldog in the long run. You can usually (and with great effectiveness) gauge any possible health concerns by looking at their parents, and the parents of their parents. Look for any possible aliments or past health issues that the entire bloodline might have had, and you should be able to get a baring on future concerns for your pet.

Now I can not stress to you enough, that this article is simply a small start when it comes to the research that you should do before you go pick up you’re wonderful English bulldog puppy. English bulldog’s are a breed that needs to not only be trained in a specific way, but require that novice & intermediate buyers get some sort of guide before they go out on their own. I can not stress this enough get a guide! Get a guide! The happiness of you and you’re pet depend on it.

So before you jump on those “English bulldog pups for sale” ads, settle down a bit, do some easy and fun homework and then enjoy a happy life with your pet.

Still want an English Bulldog? Good! Their excellent dogs and make wonderful pets, but are not for someone who does not know what their doing. The most critical part of owning an English Bulldog is the buying process, as a professional trainer and breeder, I can’t stress strongly enough that you know what to look for first. http://www.squidoo.com/englishbulldogpupforsale/
