Where can I find an English Bulldog puppy for $500 or less in Texas?

Answer 1

Very unlikely. Bulldogs are a relatively rare breed and they have small litters that often have to be deliverd by an expensive Cesarian section. Beware of people selling these puppies at "reasonable" prices! Even free dogs cost money to take care of. If the dog isn't properly trained, it can chew up your house and your stuff. If it's not housebroken, it can ruin your floors and your furniture. How "free" is a dog that does $1000 in damage to your house? Many "free" dogs turn out to be sick - how "free" is a dog that costs you $800 at the vet because he has Parvo or distemper or heartworm? A good bulldog pup can easily cost $1200 - $1800 or even more.

Contact a reliable Bulldog rescue through the AKC and the Bulldog clubs.

Or find a good breeder by going to www.akc.org or talking to people at dog shows. The best breeders will be members of their breed club, promoting healthy dogs with great temperaments. They should ask you a bunch of questions to make sure their puppy will be getting a good home. If all a "breeder" seems to care about is whether your check will clear, you can be sure he won't care a week later when the pup is dying from distemper or parvo and you want your money back.

Whatever you do, DON'T go to a pet shop, a flea market or buy one sight-unseen off the Internet!!!! You'll pay top dollar for what is usually a poor quality puppy mill dog that is often sick and may have falsified registration papers. And you'll be supporting one of the cruelest industries in the country. The breeding animals are often kept in deplorable conditions - spending their entire lives in small wire-bottomed cages. They probably haven't been vaccinated against contagious diseases or tested for any health or temperament problems or genetic diseases - that costs money and cuts into their profits. A female is often bred every time she comes into heat. When her poor little body can't take it any more, she is often clubbed in the head and tossed into a dumpster or an open ditch. Most puppy mills ship their pups to pet stores at wholesale prices and many pups die before they even get there.

One time I bought a Bulldog from a guy on ebay a really good steal for 500 bucks, but a week later I got in the mail a box with no holes in it, I was very concerned, I opened it and the dogs head was in it along with a video tape, I put the bloody tape in my vcr and the sick guy had video taped cutting the dogs head off while he was alive, he is in jail now though he used his real address and stuff on ebay so they were able to track him down.

Save you rmoney for the church offering. Why not go to the local animal shelter and save the life of a poor dog who has no home and little hope of a future.

Your $500 could be better spent on food, clothing and medicine for the poor and you can still have a dog! Just not an overpriced dog that being exploited.

Win-Win

Answer 5

It is not very likely that you will. They are expensive to breed,and raise. They have a lot of health problems also. Often there are not many puppies in a litter and the almost always have to be born by c-section.
They cost a lot to buy and to own, so if you have limited financial resources, do not get one!!

Rescue is the only way you will get one greater value-effective. K9lvr1219 is an fool, dogs don't have bags... I volunter for doberman rescue and rescue canines ought to have some issues yet they are truly knowledgeable out of them, that's many times something that any conventional dogs proprietor would desire to have knowledgeable for interior the beginning up. and that they are way speedier to bond to you than a pup through fact they comprehend to procure them out of a bad difficulty and dont have all they "pup distractions" to maintain them from adoring you 24/7 With that suggested. Bulldogs are RIDICULOUSLY costly to reproduce. I would desire to comprehend my stepmom bred her instruct female as quickly as and as quickly as in basic terms! She had to be artificially inseminated through fact the breeding didnt take. Then she had to have a C-section, THEN she became a terrible mom and my stepmom had to take an unpaid holiday to nurse the doggies I even got here homestead my first 2 weeks of school to help out through fact she hadnt' gotten any sleep! Its truly in basic terms by way of love of the breed that they have survived.... lol. in case you will get one greater value-effective than that DONT that's an exceedingly undesirable sign, many times a high quality dogs will choose for a minimum of $2000 many times greater. We had 2 doggies die till now they have been weaned and between the fool proprietors (my stepmoms, sisters sister in regulation) that we concept could be a solid homestead walked her interior the middle of the day (we live in dallas and it gets merely as warm right here, however i'm origionally from west texas and prefer the dry warmth to the humidity.... bah incorrect subject). besides my element is, they are costly through fact they are hard to hold into the international or maybe harder to maintain around, bullies have lots of issues as nicely the obtrusive ones like heatstroke and respiration. Even solid showdogs will in all probability get demodectic mange at it slow early of their life (this is an immune sickness, no longer contagious) and are susceptable to staph infections. additionally they get cherry eye and entropion and severe nutrition hypersensitive reactions (in basic terms a number of the failings we've had to handle with our 2 bullies). i'm no longer attempting to bash the breed yet while your no longer keen to pay top rate for a pup then you definitely wont be keen to pay for the better scientific expenses that comprise the breed and that's no longer precise. as nicely, definitely definitely everyone thats greater value-effective has something heavily incorrect with their canines or is a pup miller.
