Breeding British Bulldogs..
Hi!
I was just hoping for a bit of advice on breeding British Bulldogs!... My friend has a British Bulldog Bitch who is about 8 months old, and has decided he wants to breed from her but has never bread dogs before, so I'm personally a bit concerned as I cant imagine it's at all easy. The bitch has her papers and registered with the KC etc and he was hoping to take her to stud when she's old enough. Is there any particular health checks etc that he will need proof of in order to breed from her? If he does decide to breed from her at least I will be able to at least pass some good advice over from experienced breeders! |

Re: Breeding British Bulldogs..
I would recommend that she was heart tested - some bitches do self whelp - but not always it can depend on their lines, most being booked in a couple of days before their due dates for c-sections, sometimes you can loose the bitches under the general anaesthetic and also loose the whole litter too (I've known people loose their bitch & entire litter of puppies).
It's best that she wasn't bred from until she is at least two/three years old - although I wouldn't recommend breeding from her at all, especially if he's new to the breed and has never bred Bulldogs before, it really is best left to the experts as they can be a VERY tricky breed to whelp, sometimes lots of complications ![]() |

Re: Breeding British Bulldogs..
My friend breeds Bulldogs and belive me it's not an easy breed as far as whelping is concerned.
Her bitch is from self - whelping lines , but she had so many(12) she was simply incabable of doing it her self. As the vet said , her abdomen was so stretched with the litter it had no room to contract back in, so she ended up with a c-section anyway. 2 pups faded sadly but the remaining 10 are very healthy, and in great homes. I urge your friend to think long and hard before entering into breeding BD's |

Re: Breeding British Bulldogs..
Yeh thats awfull.. Well if my friend does go ahead with it I will be giving him a piece of my mind as I think he's totally stupid even thinking about breeding from Molly..
I forgot to mention, Molly has had growths removed recently from both eyes.. this would be a hereditery (cant spell) thing wouldnt it? |
