Wanting to buy an english bulldog! does anyone know where I could get one?

You should always first look at your local pound and humane societies. Baring that you REALLY need to find a local breeder and talk with them. Make sure they are not a puppy mill and produce the finest quality animals.

This is the only way to not proliferate poor breeding and people who are just in it to make a buck. Some place to find local breeders are dog magazines like Dog Fancy. Scroll to the back and you'll find an advertising section.

Now this does not guarantee you'll get a great breeder. Over time however these people get vetted and you tend to only get responsible people listed.

I feel it is important to consider both breeders and rescue. I am including more information on both. Depending on whether you are flexible as to the age of the dog that you get, I would strongly recommend considering a rescue organization.

Here is a link to a list of English Bulldog specific rescue organizations. They each link to their own individual sites in different geographical areas. engbulldogs.com/english_bulldog_rescue.htm Here is another listing of available Bulldogs to rescue: rescuebulldogs.org/display.pl I would also recommend looking at Petfinder: petfinder.com These are rescue dogs that are registered by various organizations and listed by breed.

You can specifically select English Bulldog and set your zip code to get a listing sorted with the closest dogs first. Please note that these are not necessarily purebreds but there are many great dogs out there. If you are more interested purchasing a dog from a breeder, I would recommend starting with the Bulldog Club of America's website.

They have a breeder referral area on their website to help direct people to reputable breeders. Here's a link to that page: thebca.org/breedref.html I personally used the breeder referral from the American Miniature Schnauzer Club to find a breeder to get my own dog who's now almost two. It was an amazing experience and was an incredibly reputable, thorough and wonderful breeder.

This is why I am recommending similar search techniques.

I strongly recommend buying from a breeder recommended by a Kennel club. I bought my pug from a top breeder in our area and even though the cost was higher you are looking at a healthier dog. Especially with breeds like pugs and bulldogs where there are known health issues, you will spend more now but save money on vet bills in the long term.

Go see a dog show in your area before buying a pure breed and make sure this is the breed for you.

Amen, pazaq. This link will get you started.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
