When you yourself have done your research and are sure a Bulldog is the one for you personally, you've two options: A respected breeder or a rescue.
A respected breeder is your dog fancier who shows their dogs, does health checks for heritable conditions, is just a member of the breed club, and has a real interest in improving the breed. Their dogs should have show titles, health clearances, and be registered with the AKC. Don't be fooled by breeders who just have "nice family dogs," and nothing to back it up, because nice isn't enough. The breeding of your dog impacts its temperament, and so the "niceness" of your pet is also at stake. You will not find good breeders selling to pet shops, and you won't find them advertising in newspaper classifieds or on puppy finder websites. Ethical breeders will even have a pastime in what sort of home their puppies are likely to, so be prepared to not merely ask a lot of questions, but answer them, too. It is not uncommon to be on a waiting list for your next pup, as responsible breeders don't have constant breedings and may only breed once a year. They are apt to have homes already lined up ahead of the puppies are even born. Dogs sold to pet homes (as opposed showing homes) usually feature a spay/neuter contract. With the proper breeder, you could have a connection where you are able to always get guidance and advice on your dog.
Another great option is to find a Bulldog needing a property through a rescue or shelter. You will find Bulldogs of origins, and of ages and types, but they have a very important factor in keeping: they require a forever home french bulldog for sale near me. Whenever you rescue, you don't expect to acquire a "perfect specimen of the breed", although you might end up getting a great dog. Some rescue dogs were given up for health or behavioral reasons, others for personal or family reasons. Many rescued Bulldogs are retired breeding females who have been used up and throw away. Once they had several c-sections and could no further be bred, the backyard breeders or commercial breeders simply dumped them. Don't be set on a puppy, give an older dog a chance. Based on the BCA Rescue Network website "The typical age of rescue Bulldogs is all about four or five, and few Bulldogs are ever surrendered to rescue under the age of three."
