| About Us |
Welcome to The Royal Bulldog family. We are a family that is native to Arizona. We
have lived here our entire lives and now our children are being raised here as well. Here
starts how we got involved with English Bulldogs. Many years ago my husband started
telling me he wanted an English Bulldog. I never thought much of it until I decided to
buy him one. As soon as I found out how much they cost, I told him, "are you crazy....I am
not paying that much for a dog". Then I just had to find out what was so special about
these dogs. Without telling him, I secretly went to meet breeders to find out what was so
great about this breed and why they cost what they do. I spent almost a year learning as
much as I could about the breed, talking to breeders, meeting puppies and adult
Bulldogs so I could find out what the big deal was. Much to my surprise I fell in love with
the breed. I did end up buying my husband his English Bulldog and it was love from
that day forward. I learned why Bulldogs are so expensive and they are worth every
single penny! I became very good friends with the breeder I purchased my first Bulldog
from and she taught me so much about the breed. I learned so many of the right things to
do as well as the things not to do as a breeder. I learned how heartbreaking it can be at
times to be a breeder as well as how fulfilling it can be. It is so important to get to know
your breeder and be confident that you can trust them before getting "puppy fever"
and just purchasing any puppy. We all live and learn by making mistakes, it's learning
from the mistakes that makes the difference. I asked a lot of questions, watched,
experienced situations for myself that I never expected. After my first few months of
learning and watching I started taking lots of dog & puppy pictures, building websites,
handling paperwork, assisting in c-section deliveries at the vet, raising English Bulldog
litters, learning the breed standards, learning the difference between show quality and
pet quality, rescuing dogs, helping with lost and stolen Bulldogs, educating people with
the knowledge I did have, but most of all, getting as much education and hands on
experience about this breed as possible. I then contacted Royal Canin, who does more
canine research than any other company in the world to see what they had to offer.
What an amazing company! They sent me all kinds of books and literature specifically
on Bulldogs, breeding, whelping and so on. I have read all of that material plus much
more. Books will never give you all the education and experience needed to raise your
own litter but it gives you a starting point. Hands on experience is required along with
book knowledge and lots of advise. You must find someone to shadow before
attempting breeding a Bulldog for yourself. I ended up spending three more years
learning first hand what it takes to raise Bulldog litters......wow......what a load of work
that is. I never knew nor would I have believed what it takes to raise a litter of Bulldog
pups. I do not recommend to anyone that you try this and you will see why as you read
on.........I can't tell you how many times I have heard from people that they would like to
breed their Bulldog to make some extra money. Every time I hear that I have to be the
bold person that I am and explain what they are getting into. You must have a love of the
breed and want only to better the breed if you plan on breeding any dog. This is no
easy task! English Bulldog's require an AI (artificial insemination) to conceive as they
do not breed naturally due to body structure. There are two ways to do this; AI and
surgical AI both are very costly. If you do not have a stud of your own, it will cost
anywhere from $1000 - $3000 just for the stud fee. Then if you choose a surgical AI,
that is approx. $500 additional. Once you have done all this in the hopes that your
bitch is pregnant you will have the expense of a c-section when it is time for delivery.
Bulldogs cannot deliver naturally due to the size of the pups heads and shoulders as
well as it is to difficult for the bitch to breathe and push due to being a short faced
breed. The cost for a c-section can range from $900 - $2000 and that is with no
complications. The typical size of a Bulldog litter is about 4-6, however it could be as
small as 1 or as big as 10. If you are considering breeding to make some extra money or
to give Bulldogs to your family members, think again! There is so much risk to your dog
and to the breed if you do not have the experience and education behind you. It takes
many years to gain this knowledge and experience, so if you want to buy a Bulldog to
breed, I would expect that you would already have this knowledge and experience under
your belt. This is not something to just give a try. It is very costly to get a Bulldog
pregnant, deliver puppies, raise the litter for at least 8 weeks and do it all responsibly.
You also have to consider your family needs. Bulldog litters cannot just be left with
their mother to feed when they are hungry. Bulldogs tend to roll on their puppies that
results in death. You must sit in the whelping box every two hours around the clock with
the mother and assist her in feeding her babies. After the first week, you advance to
every three hours, then every four and so on. Then at about four weeks of age they can
start eating soft food, but still have to nurse several times per day. You cannot raise a
litter of Bulldogs properly and have a job away from the home. There must be
supervision at all times. This is something to consider before you think about breeding
as it takes all of your time for at least 8 weeks after birth. If you have read this and still
think you would like to breed, please feel free to contact me as I would rather help
educate you to better the breed then leave you to fend for yourself uneducated. Please
think long and hard before you consider breeding your Bulldog. We love our dogs and
this breed and only do what is best for them, not us. There is nothing like a Bulldog
that is why we do our best to bring happy, healthy, beautiful Bulldogs and Valley
Bulldog into your families to live long happy healthy lives. Thank you for taking the time
to read about us and we look forward to meeting you soon.
