| Not All Bulldogs Are Created Equal! Each Bulldog has its own distinctive personality as well as can have any number of health issues. You should research the breed and breeders before you consider any puppy or adult bulldog. The health issues can be quite expensive if you chose a bulldog from a breeder who does not understand the genetics and continues to pass unhealthy traits in their breeding programs. Please take the time to read on some of the bulldog health issues below to better understand more about the needs and requirements of this breed. HEALTH CARE |
| Why should you choose an AKC registered puppy? There are many dog registries out there. But as someone looking for a quality, purebred puppy, you should be aware they are not all equal. The oldest and most trusted purebred dog registry in the United States is the American Kennel Club, or AKC. AKC is the only registry that has a MANDATORY requirement that all sires (used frequently) have a DNA sample on file with the AKC. With these DNA samples, AKC has genetic proof of the puppy’s purebred lineage. No other registry does this. But, the commercial dog industry (puppy mills, brokers, pet shops, etc.) face a serious problem--they need to provide “papers” and “pedigrees” so they can tell the public their puppies are “registered”. But they are unable to meet AKC’s strict DNA requirements. So, over the years, they’ve created their own “breeder friendly” registries!! These registries, such as APR, ACA, APRI, and UABR have no mandatory DNA testing requirements. Nor do they demand any real proof the dog is a purebred. In fact, most ask only for the “word” of the breeder that the dog is a purebred. Because of these lax standards, these pet registries are often used to register and get fraudulent pedigrees for dogs that have been stolen! In addition, they are also used to register cross-bred dogs as full, purebred English Bulldogs. Here is APR’s (one of the biggest of these registries) statement of requirements to register a dog as a “purebred” from their website: “When an application is received by our office and accepted, we issue a registration certificate. From that moment on the animal is considered a registered animal. On the application the owner has certified that the dog or cat is a purebred representative of the breed. We take his word for it. We have registered thousands of dogs and cats in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico and overseas, just to name a few.” To read their complete application for yourself, go here. For $15, you could literally (and many unethical breeders do) register anything as a purebred English Bulldog. If you want to know for certain you are getting a genuine purebred English Bulldog, make sure you only buy an AKC registered pup. American Kennel Club |
