Potential Bulldog Owners, please do your homework before purchasing one and educate yourself on the breed before you decide to own one, financially they might not be the right fit for you. First, Mr Bulldog, does not have a huge selection of Bulldogs to sell at one time, so the pet store name is a bit misleading. Each time I have walked in, there are maybe 2 to 4 Bulldogs in the store, the rest are usually smaller breed dogs like Yorkshires and Cockapoos. We purchased 1 of our Bulldogs from here over 2 years ago (See photos I uploaded) and we are very happy with the little fat guy. Great temperament, personality and good around people. He grew up to be a great looking Bulldog with big head, big paws and smelly farts.
I think where this pet store lacks is in the education given to potential Bulldogs owners. Obviously, Pet Stores want to sell dogs, make their money and get them out the door, but you shouldn't do that with Bulldogs. They are naturally born with genetic defects that can effect your Bulldogs health and this store should educate its customers to avoid future problems. I say this because, the day I was purchasing our Bulldog, a lady was in there complaining about the health of her recently purchased Bulldog and its breathing, which is a common problem for Bulldogs, but the Owner was not fully educating her on these issues, had a communication problem with her, end up getting frustrated, had an argument and eventually offered to just take the Bully back. Like I said, It is much more than just having Bulldogs for sale.
If you purchase a Bulldog and they have health problems, you need to see a Bulldog Specialist (Here are two recommended Vets: Dr Kraemer-Grand Pet Care in Santa Ana & Dr Butchko in Riverside-Yelp Them). Trust me most local Vets or Vets at Petco are just general Vets and not fully educated on Bulldog related issues and may misdiagnose your Bully. I have owned 3 Bulldogs, each of the Bulldogs have had a problem that needed corrective surgeries for their health benefits. Here are a list of problems you might run into with a Bulldog: Elongated Soft Palate, Pinched Nares (nostrils), Entropan (where the eyelids grow inside instead of out), digestive problems requiring special diets, skin allergies and Bullys are very sensitive to heat and prone to heat stroke-YOU WILL NEED TO KEEP YOUR BULLY INDOORS WITH AIR CONDITIONING DURING THE SUMMER. The majority of the corrective surgeries cost between $800-1200. So take that into consideration when buying a Bulldog.
Whether it is a private sale or a purchase from a Pet Store, you can expect to pay $1,500 to $2,600 for a Bulldog Puppy. Prices really depend on the Bully's breed line, markings, skin color and general features. I truly think anything more than $2,600 is on the high side and Mr Bulldog can be on the high with some of his Bullys. read more
