Sorry, no I dont. But Please to alot of research on this breed before jumping in and getting one. They are high maintenance dogs and require alot of attention. I own one and didnt know how much this dog was gonna cost me after the huge cost of buying him. Breathing problems and cherry eye are a big problem and their curly tails get in the way of their #2. Therefore you have to occasionally wipe a dog butt. Just thought I would let you know. Good Luck!!!

Look for a responsible breeder. Start with the American Kennel Club site -- www.akc.org
Also, Petfinder, or looking up English Bulldog Rescue networks and breeders listed on their club sites.
These dogs can have some serious health problems...if you're set on getting one, you can minimize your chances of having these issues by getting one from someone who has done their homework in the breed...not just someone looking to make a few dollars.

I wouldn't know. But I have an English Bulldog. Please do your homework on these breeds since they tend to have many, many problems. Mine is 2 yrs old and has already had surgery to remove cherry eye on both her eyes. Next month she will have surgery to help slow down the process of arthritis. Besides the fact that if we let her rome the house free when no one is home, she will eat the house and tear through everything. I love her to death...I just wish I would have known all the problems before I bought her. Good luck..these are VERY Stubborn and stupid dogs.But very loveable and love to give kisses.

www.petfinder.com allows you to do local searches for pets in shelters. You save money and lives when you adopt. But make sure you get the dog spayed/neutered and it is not good for pets to be surprises. They are family decisions that the whole family must be involved in.
