They were given to me, and in 20 years with bulldogs I just purchased my 2nd dog only because she is of the same blood that I use and will benefit me if she is able to have pups.

Her breeder died unexpectedly, and it was a benefit to me as well as his living family. That is what led me to the decision to purchase the dog and drive over 1200 miles round trip to pick her up. Otherwise I may not have purchased her.

You see Jack, I honestly have never liked looking at bulldogs as a business. I think these dogs suffer enough at the hands of unqualified people who think they are dogmen. I feel very fortunate to have landed in a pile of pretty all around decent folks who's dogs for the most part were top priority.

But I'm no fool and I do see the need for top notch breeders such as yourself who offer well bred, healthy well cared for puppies to an ever growing market. But on the same token, as much as it is a disgrace to offer a quality pup for dollar store prices. It is also a disgrace that same pup at top shelf prices lands (often times) in the hands of a wealthy fool.
