I see this question on here alot! There is no such thing as a cheap EB!
Consider what it costs to have a litter.
$800 stud fee, probably more with collection costs
$700 artificial insemination, semen shipping handling
$1000 c-section
And all this and then have 2-3 puppies. THAT is why they are so expensive.
And this doesn't include regular puppy care costs as well as problems which can be numerous in this breed.
And then be prepared for large Vet bills, as this breed is notorious for health problems. Not cheap to buy, not cheap to keep either.

The words English Bulldog and Cheap do not go in the same sentence. The least expensive way to get 1 is from a rescue & at best you'll pay $500 But if you can't afford the price, you probaably should get a different breed. The vet bills for E.B.'s are high. They have hip & eye problems & can be quite costly.

Nope. Won't happen. Their yearly vet bill is often more than the price of a puppy. If you can't afford the puppy, you can't afford the medical costs. And that's puuuure honesty.
Here it is:
They'll break your wallet, especially if you can't afford the higher-priced puppies. And I'm only being honest... Here's list of some of the things you may need to watch for, *and treat*, with an English Bulldog. (Besides the birth-related problems that the breeder has to deal with...)
Eye Problems: Entropion/ectropion, cherry eye, Distichiasis, Dry eye, corneal ulcer, conjunctivitis.
Skin/Wrinkle problems: Dermatitis, pyoderma, staph, allergies, acne, demodectic mange, hot spots, Interdigital cysts, tear stains, yeast infections
Heart problems: Murmurs, enlarged heart, valve defects
Mouth/Jaw: Cleft palate, hare lip
Structural problems: Hip dysplasia, luxating patella, hemivertebrae, spina bifida, elbow dysplasia, arthritis and other joint problems
Rear/Tail problems: Tight tail, inverted tail, impacted anal glands
Urinary problems: Urinary tract infections, bladder infections, polapsed urethra, pyometra
Respiratory problems: Stenotic nares, small trachea, hypoplastic trachea, elongated soft palate
Misc: Hyperthyroidism, bloat/gastric torsion, cancer

My brother paid $2,000 for one English Bulldog! And $1800 for his other one (who was the runt) So basically there is no cheap English Bulldog!

Why the obsession with the EBD? They're a status symbol and if you need one cheap, odds are you may not be able to afford all that comes with it (illness, problems, behavior, etc.). Do a dog a favor and go to the pound and get one there. It will be ALOT more grateful than the EBD would ever be.

or ask your local vet for any breeders in your area (if the vet doesn't know of any, go somewhere else, because the breeders must not take care of their dogs)
Good Luck!
I hear they are expensive.

not gonna happen, and besides, why would you want a dog that may only be alive for 6 years?
