Becoming an English Bulldog Breeder?

I am interested in becoming an English Bulldog breeder. Im really interested in finding a way to breed out their health problems. Im gona spend a few years researching before i begin breeding but i was wondering if anyone can help me find breeders who are already doing this so i can get advice from them and hopefully get my stock from them so i have a good starting point?

I would also like help in finding out anything i can about dog genetics, even just a website would help. I would like to study dog genetics, i believe it would help a great deal in being able to breed out their health problems.

Thanks.

becoming a breeder?

I wanted to thank all of the wonderful parents and breeders who responded to your message. I believe you may be on the wrong board for this crowd. I have been a proud parent of both puppies and rescues through the years & I still go to my true friend (who is a wonderful parent and breeder) for advise. Please think this over carefully before you do it.

Very true Vicky

Do you own any Bullies as of yet Darren???

I agree with Vicky's post. While health is number one, for a Bulldog to be bred, it should also excel in tempermant and confrimation.

thebca.org is a great place to begin some research.

There are soooo many aspects that go into breeding.

Getting involved with showing is really the best way to educate yourself on the breed. You have acess to information and education that you would not have otherwise. The BCA really promotes health testing.

it's like owning a boat, you keep throwing money away

breeding is very hard and expensive, 9/10 times you are in deeper in debt then making money. Puppies & momma's can die and its heart breaking. You have a puppy with health problems it's $$$$$ and you are responsible for the care of that puppy.

you need to find a breeder who breeds for health, temperment and conformation. Saying that you will not find a breeder who promotes breeding black bulldogs as you put in your previous post. go to www.thebca.org and read the standard when you think you know what they are talking about then read it 20more times and you might have an idea of the standard. Then go to shows bring your standard and read it ringside and talk to breeders.

Well I guess if you're serious then point your web browser to the OFA website http://www.offa.org look up Bulldogs and start to sift through the people that are already doing health testing...looking for your breeding stock. Then be prepared to invest an awful lot of time getting to know said breeder, convincing them you are not in this for the wrong reasons. I have four dogs that I have bred that are listed in the OFA database. I have many more years invested that are not verified through OFA...I am not the only one concerned, nor are you. Once you get a better understanding of genetics and what is a simple recessive versus something that will take generations to breed out...you will perhaps begin to understand this is not a solitary battle, and that until the breed as a whole comes together and shares information we are at a standstill.
