I think that some of you are confusing Olde English Bulldogges with the unhealthy English Bulldog. Olde English Bulldogges have no problems breeding or whelping naturally. They are bigger and healthier than the English Bulldogs. Good luck finding a stud for your bulldogge, you might try www.ioeba.com in your search, they have chat rooms and such on there. Also most Oldes are registered with the CKC or IOEBA and owners of AKC english bulldogs will not likely want to breed to a non AKC dog.

Are you aware or the risks associated with breeding this particular breed of dog? They are high, and expensive, that's why the pups cost so much, no one is making a killing doing so, they are paying off the debt they ran up to have the litter in the first place.
I'd do alot of research. Also, I assume you are either unemployed, self-employed, or work from home? As you do realize that you aren't going to get much sleep from the time she goes into labor (provided she can have whelp with out a c-section which is doubtful) until the pups are at least 4 wks of age? Have you thought about what if she rejects the pups or doesn't make milk? Getting up every 2 hrs to bottlefeed isn't all that fun and has to be done all night, and all day. what if she can't/won't cut the umbilical cords? What if she's too vigorous and pulls an umbilical hernia? The what-ifs go on and research is the best answer.
This particular breed has alot of issues with conception, as well as whelping. Have you thought of what it might mean if she dies as a result of this litter? It's extremely possible if you aren't experienced and don't know what to do to help, what signs too look for if she's in trouble.
If you are truly interested in breeding, you need to do lots of research into the process and find someone knowledgable in your breed to guide you.
Never breed before 2 yrs of age.

Bred. Different from the bakery product.
Please have her spayed. Domestic dogs tend to go in to heat about twice a year, but if you don't even know this you REALLY should not be breeding. Also, but letting her have her first season, you've already increased her likelihood of getting mammary cancer when older. Get her spayed before this likelihood increases further, as it does with every season.
There's no way around it - it's just irresponsible to bring more dogs in to the world in the current climate of dog overpopulation. There is absolutely no excuse for you not to spay your dog.

EDIT: Oh and how could I forget - Bulldogs cannot give birth naturally, they have to have caesareans. These cost at least $800. Can you afford that?

why so you can add to the pet over population? too bad we can not force people to get their pets spayed. Breading your dog is not going to do anything for her.
maybe 3 to 4 months for next heat.
Please before you breed take a trip to an animal shleter and see all the animals that do not have home. Then ask to see their freezer to see all the animals that will never have homes because they were there too long and had to be put down.

First off, if you can't spell bred correctly, you should not breed your dog! This is expensive, and if you are looking to make money, you should have your dog taken away!
here, read this!
1. Not all dogs are built to be bred.
Most pets, although lovable, are not of breeding quality because they have genetic defects and other problems that should not be perpetuated. People who breed dogs for a living are very careful about choosing which dogs they will breed together based on physical characteristics and behavior. Some people decide that it would be fun to breed and just start looking for a dog that has the proper equipment and is willing. This can be a huge mistake.
2. There are already too many dogs in the world.
Breeding your pet is a serious endeavor and should not be taken lightly. There are far too many pets that end up in shelters without good homes. If your breed of dog has large litters, what will you do if you are unable to sell the puppies? Do you really want to contribute to the massive problem of pet overpopulation?
3. Dogs that aren’t neutered face serious health risks.
Consider your dog’s own health. Male dogs that are neutered are less likely to be hit by cars, because unaltered males have a very strong urge to roam and find a fertile female. Male dogs will go over or under fences, through doors and windows, and will pull leashes out of unsuspecting hands in quest of a mate.
Additionally, neutering greatly reduces the incidence of prostatic disease and eliminates testicular cancer in males, and cuts down on breast cancer in females. The possibility of uterine infections is also eliminated by spaying.
4. Female dogs used for breeding may have unwelcome visitors.
If you spay your dog, you will not have to chase persistent male dogs out of your yard. Also, you won’t have to worry about cleaning up messy heat cycles.
5. Be prepared to work like a dog when your pet goes into labor.
Many people do not realize just how much work and expense is involved with letting dogs have puppies. Getting the mother through pregnancy is the easy part, but labor is truly laborious for dog and owner alike. Dogs usually decide to have their puppies at the most inconvenient times, like 2:00 in the morning when veterinary hospitals are closed.
If your pet develops a problem during delivery, it means at least the expense of an emergency call. If the complications are life threatening, you must be prepared, especially if you have a breed of dog that has a broad head like a pug, to pay for an emergency C-section. It is very distressing to have to leave home in the middle of the night, worry about your pet, get a large veterinary bill and then try to explain to your boss why you cannot possibly come to work the next day.
6. It can be devastating when the puppies die.
There is always the prospect of the loss of some or all of the puppies. A neonatal mortality rate of 10 to 30 percent is considered normal. And, it’s easy to lose a puppy if you don’t have the experience or knowledge to care for newborns. Because puppies are not able to regulate their own body temperature initially, you may need to supplement their environment with heat.
7. Not all dogs make the best mothers.
If your female doesn’t have enough milk to feed all its puppies, or decides that feeding her offspring is not her cup of tea, it will be your responsibility to provide them with nutrition every three to four hours, round the clock. And how many mouths are there to feed?
Another aspect of puppy care that you can look forward to if your dog wants nothing to do with her brood is the manual stimulation of urination and defecation. Until puppies are three weeks old they will only void if directly stimulated. If mom isn’t doing this, you will need to take a moistened cotton ball and gently rub the urogenital area until the babes begin to urinate and pass stool. Failure to do this can result in some pretty unhappy puppies.
8. Good luck seeing a profit!
Your last responsibility before they go to a new home is to have them dewormed, vaccinated, and examined by a veterinarian. You will want to make sure that you have budgeted a sufficient amount for this purpose. Needless to say, if you decide to breed mixed breed puppies, you have no opportunity to recoup this expense.
Puppies are a lot of fun and it can be very exciting when they are born, but more often than not, owners find themselves in over their heads when they decide to endeavor into breeding.

Wheat or Rye?
Hun, it is spelled bred, not bread (unless you are talking sandwiches). You will have no problem finding a stud to breed with if you follow these steps, OK?:
1) Get all her breed specific health clearances done
2) Have your veterinarian check her out to make sure she is large enough to breed
3) Enroll yourself and your b*tch in handling classes and begin to show her in Conformation until she earns her Championship Title.
4) Locate a mentor and work with them in finding a stud that will compliment your b*tch
5) Save $$! Unfortunately, breeding is quite costly... especially for English bulldogs who 9 times out of 10 require Cesarean Sections ($3000 a pop!)
I wish you luck!

It will probably be six months, but she is still a puppy!!! and bread is what you eat, and bred is what she will get. You need to have her vet checked, and your vet will tell you to wait awhile. Why do you want to breed her? so fast? It would not be physically good for her.
