We do not sell puppies Our dogs are not a business
A note to the prospective owner of an American Bulldog puppy: In my opinion, American Bulldogs are not a breed for the novice owner; even though they are dogs which can make excellent family companions they are none the less large, powerful and sometimes stubborn animals. As adults, they may not mix well with other dogs/animals. Prior experience with bullbreeds is very important in my opinion. As with any large dog, basic training and socialisation are essential from an early age and this should be fun for both of you. Adequate space and regular exercise and mental stimulation are also essential for an American Bulldog: have you got the time and energy to adequately fulfill your dog's needs? I would strongly recommend joining a local dog training group. An untrained and ill-managed American Bulldog is likely to get both himself and you into trouble one way or another. Thoroughly research the breed and be honest with yourself and fully consider if you are able to offer a suitable and secure life-long home for an American Bulldog. There are too many bulldogs ending up in Rescue Centres because their owners couldn't cope; many of these are put to sleep because they have not been properly socialised and consequently are poor prospects for rehoming. Finally, today more than ever, bullbreeds need their owners to be responsible citizens and good ambassadors. I would strongly urge you to take out pet insurance cover for your dog: a small monthly payment will provide a welcome cushion against veterinary fees in the event of your dog requiring treatment. The cost of treatment for accidental injury can rapidly spiral: for example, orthopaedic surgery to a broken bone can run to thousands of pounds! Pet insurance also provides very important third-party liability cover. Shop around for the best cover and make sure you read and understand all of the small print.
