Well Randy, there are tons available but unfortunately the majority have some very major health problems. I hope you have done all the necessary homework on the many genetic problems connected with the breed so you won't end up with a dog which is going to ruin your bank account in the future. Maybe you'd like to tell us what kind of a dog you seek. Are you thinking of showing, or just looking for a nice family pet? Why are you trying to find one in that particular age group? Do you have children - their ages? Responsible breeders will want to know. The breed is not one to take on lightly - even by the very well informed. Like many others, it is high on the list of puppy millers and irresponsible breeders just out to make a $$. BTW you didn't say in what area of the world you live. That would help anyone wishing to get in touch with you. EGD |

The best way to find the above is to go to AKC conformation shows and talk to people with dogs that you like at the show. Also joining or at least calling the local bulldog club in your area. At least those are good starting points. It won't end your search. It will actually just begin your search. Most good breeders have a waiting list. That is more or less rule of thumb. It is not in all cases of good breeders. One thing is that often breeders need to place or rehome a dog that didn't work out in the show ring. They are typically young dogs but not puppies. This is yet another avenue you can investigate. Gwen |

I am currently searching for a female English Bulldog anywhere from 10-12 months old. Preferably from a Champion lineage. Pls reply to Thanks in advanced. If you are looking for a carefully bred dog I recommend adding a lot more requirements than "Champion lineage." Bulldogs (the kind you are calling "English Bulldog) have more than their fair share of health problems. And the heart of that problem is breeders who care more about success in the show ring, or simply breeding and selling, than they do about the health and welfare of the dogs. The ability to obtain a Championship is only one of many important factors in deciding whether a dog is carefully bred, well bred, from a responsible breeder. If you aren't looking for a carefully bred dog then your request is interestingly narrow. It is too young to breed, and you wouldn't be planning on breeding with so little in the way of requirements anyway. And if you aren't planning on breeding what difference does a year or so make on the age? -- Diane Blackman http://dog-play.com/ http://dogplay.com/Shop/ |
