Price of Bulldog with limited registrations
Bulldogs raised for pet purposes only and not allowed for breeding are often offered from around $1600 to $2500. Bulldogs with limited registrations are often sterilized before taken home for owners to control their bearing.
Not all of owners agree to sterilze their pets. Yet in my own opion, Bulldogs in this price range are suitable for being raised in the family. Since it is believed that Bulldog is the dog breed with unpredictable temperament and is easy to become aggressive and to destroy things during the breeding season, sterilization will help them be gentler and more reliable.

If you are not an experienced dog breeder, you should consider breeding a Bulldog puppy by yourself. The reason is that it is very difficult for this dog breed to give birth because of their big skulls. There is a high possibility that births of English Bulldog puppies need to have surgical intervention to ensure both mother’s and child’s lives.

These Bulldog puppies are offered from around $4000 to $10.000 (or much higher than that). They seem to have an absolute level of blood purity. And there is no doubt that they have full registration and good family records.

Annual costs for an English Bulldog
As mentioned above, the annual cost foran English Bulldog is rather high, mainly because of food expenses. Bulldog is a highly active breed, with a well developed muscle system. Bulldog is a kind of high intensity of movementand musculardog breed. Therefore, they eat very well, and prefer kind of full protein food which has higher price than the normal food.
Regarding to only expenses for basic dog food, you have to pay around $600 per year while food expenses of other same – sized dog breed would only be around $400. You should use packaged foods that are processed specially for Bulldog, or for big – sized dog breeds with high intensity of movement.

Bulldogs are also a trusted watch dog breed; they have extremely sensitive senses with high alert’s status.
One of the most favorite characteristics of Bulldog that many owers like is their laziness. This makes them easier to adapt in small apartments in cities since they do not require much spaces for exercising. They rarely destroy things, pull things off or tear shoes if they stay indoors for a long time. However, because of this characteristic, they are easy to get fat. So you should control their diet and have them to exercise in order to improve their health.
However, you should note that some Bulldogs are very aggressive during breeding season. If you worry about that, you should choose English Bulldog puppies in the price range from around $1600 to $2500 (that means these will be suitable for only family pets) as mentioned above. Those puppies are often sterilized before picked to a new home. That makes them gentler and stable in their characteristics.
