The Breed Council is made up of representatives of 17 Member Breed Clubs
The Bulldog Breed Council Website gives the following advice to potential purchasers
and hopes using this site will enable you to become involved in the Breed Clubs
giving you access to advice wherever you are situated in the country .
First of all before you buy a puppy research the breed thoroughly
there are lots of books published about owning bulldogs
and there is a wealth of information on many individuals websites.
Be sure that the character and the lifestyle you lead match up to a bulldog,
whose breed characteristics are a companion dog that thrives on human company,
sleeping a lot is how most people view the dog but in reality a young bulldog
is every bit as active and boisterous as any breed of puppy,
if left alone for long periods they can be destructive out of boredom !!!
Having decided on a Bulldog be aware of the many cross bred bulldogs being advertised
you need a BULLDOG Kennel Club Registered .... any dog with a prefix like old Tyme or Victorian,
or Regency and selling for a very much cheaper price should be avoided as if you want the
'Churchill type' you just want a Bulldog

The following suggestions may help you find your bulldog puppy by using this site
Try looking up the 'member clubs' you should be able to find your nearest one to where you are living ,telephone the Secretary listed who may be able to help you locate a puppy from a club member.
If none are known at the time you should be able to find out, where the venue's are for the Breed Club shows .This is where you should be able to see the dogs and ask amongst the breeders if any puppies are available. By talking to the exhibitors you should be able to make contact with a breeder ,most reputable breeders never advertise as they may have a waiting list.
Avoid buying from publications such as the free weekly papers ,you may end up with a cross bred puppy .Remember cross-bred dogs may have their own Club Registrations but these are NOT the Kennel Club.
Pet Plan insurance and the Kennel Club publish lists of puppies recently registered with them.
When you have located a breeder ,always see the puppy with the mother, spend time talking with the breeder to be certain this breed is for you .Always take the puppy to your OWN Vet within 7 days for an independent opinion of his health .
Join your local breed club even if you have no interest in showing as this will get you access to many experienced breed specialists who can help you if any problems occur including recommending local 'bulldog ' friendly Veterinary practices .
