Does anyone own or has anyone owned an (English) Bulldog before? It has been a year since we lost our dog and lately we've all (me, hubby, and the kids) have been talking a lot about getting another dog. We were thinking of a Bulldog!
 
No experience with them, but they're SO darn cute, lol! We asked about them at a Pet Expo we went to in the winter and were told that they're expensive ($2500) because they can't breed naturally and have to deliver by c-sec, only having one pup at a time usually.
 
English Bulldogs also require a LOT of work. They often have skin conditions, and need to bathed with special products and then dried very carefully, otherwise the folds of their skin can create huge issues.

We had a pug before and this is exactly what we had to do with her too. She had such major skin issues!
 
Gotcha. Some people don't realize that and then get the dog and get rid of it because it's too much work. Just wanted to make sure you're aware :)

They are expensive though, as Bree said. They don't often end up in shelters, but you might try looking for a breed specific rescue in your area.

Good luck!

Yeah, I had no clue they were that expensive to get one. I've looked at a lot of shelters and, like you said, they really never end up at one. I even looked into Bulldog Rescue Leagues but they were all so far away. Oh well, we'll just keep looking, we aren't in any rush. :)
