English Bulldog Information

English Bulldog Basics

Where Are English Bulldogs From?

The Bulldog breed comes from Britain. When, even further back than bull-baiting, bear-baiting was a sport in Britain and it lost favor, bull-fighting became de rigeur. The British bred Mastiffs with Terriers to create the Bulldog for this new sport (flat faces and strong jaws that wouldn’t let go of their prey).

How Many Types of English Bulldogs Are There?

There are several types of “Bulldogs,” but the dog referred to as a straight generic “Bulldog” refers to the English Bulldog – instantly recognizable by all thanks to his flat snout, upturned chin, wrinkled face, and humorous underbite.

Prone to IssuesGenerally Healthy

What Diseases are English Bulldogs Prone To?

  • Hip and Elbow Dysplasia: Hip and elbow dysplasia are two of the most common skeletal diseases seen in dogs. They are similar diseases in which either the hip or elbow joint has grown abnormally or is misshapen. The abnormal shape prevents the joints and sockets from properly meeting one another, resulting in rubbing and grinding instead of sliding smoothly. Unlike in hip dysplasia, where the main problem is joint instability, the abnormalities seen in elbow dysplasia often result in pieces of bone and/or cartilage breaking loose and irritating the joint tissues. Over time, the rubbing from dysplasia can cause a variety of issues such as pain, lameness and secondary osteoarthritis. Surgery can be done to fix the joint if diagnosed before the onset of arthritis. If you are rescuing a English bulldog, have him checked out by a vet to see if he has or is prone to getting dysplasia so you know what he will be able to handle in terms of activities and exercise.
  • Stenotic Nares: Also called constricted or pinched nostrils, stenotic nares are common in brachycephalic breeds — dogs with extremely short snouts like the English bulldog. Stenotic nares are present at birth and are caused by a defect of the cartilage in the nose. Over time, pinched nostrils can make breathing in increasingly difficult. This is hard on the larynx and could eventually cause it to collapse, making breathing nearly impossible and often leading to death. Symptoms of stenotic nares include a foamy discharge when your dog breathes, noisy breathing, blue gums or fainting. Stenotic nares can be corrected with surgery.
  • Hyperthermia: Elevated body temperature due to failed thermoregulation
  • Elongated Soft Palate: Though the bulldog’s snout is much shorter than other breeds, his soft palates (and tongue) at the back of the mouth are not shortened. A dog of the same size with a normal head shape, would have a soft palate of the correct length, but in the brachycephalic dog, like the bulldog, the overlong soft palate is pushed backwards, partly obstructing the larynx (the opening to the airway). An elongated soft palate also causes issues with airflow and rubs against other tissues, leading to inflammation and swelling of airway tissues. The inflammation with often make the soft palate itself become swollen and thickened over time, further blocking your bulldog’s ability to breathe properly.
  • Others: Patellar luxation (where kneecaps become dislodged), eczema, allergies, and skin disorders. To identify some of these issues, a veterinarian may recommend joint, eye, and diagnostic tests for the dog.

Purchasing vs Adopting an English Bulldog

How Much Does an English Bulldog Cost?

You can adopt a Bulldog at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost to adopt a Bulldog is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying Bulldogs from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on whether or not they’re from show-dog bloodlines, they can cost anywhere from $1,500-$4,000.

Where Can I Find an English Bulldog Breeder?

We recommend you rescue an English Bulldog (or any dog) before you buy a puppy from a breeder. There are millions of homeless dogs across the country, many of which are purebred and who need homes. Adopting an English Bulldog can be life changing — not only for the dog, but also the adopter.

If you’re not convinced and your intention is to buy an English Bulldog from a breeder, it is safest to purchase a puppy from a reputable breeder. When working with a breeder verify that the breeder you’re purchasing from does genetic testing of their animals and be sure to verify the puppy’s health information. Also make sure that the breeder will take back any pets they sell if for any reason the pet cannot stay in their home, and that the breeder will commit to finding those pets a new home if needed.

Please understand that you may have to drive several hundred miles in order to find a reputable, safe, and dependable breeder to purchase your English Bulldog and you’ll be paying $600 more on average. Imagine all the chew toys and dog sweaters you could get if you adopted an English Bulldog instead!
