rastus_froggy Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 A girl I work with is looking at buying a British Bulldog but has been shocked at the $2800 price tag the breeder was after, is this a normal sort of price or is it a bit high? It was PB with main register papers. I have no real idea what they usually go for and told her I would ask here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Sounds about right, maybe even a bit cheap from what I have heard? Duke was $1600 9 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puggy_puggy Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Yep $2,000 to $3,000 sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmoo Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 My old boss paid $3000 for her bitch a few years ago. So yup that price is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 wow that is a lot... is that because of smaller litters and high incidence of ceasarian birth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbreedlover Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 None of the above Its all to do with inflation and the rise in interest charges on mortgages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disorder Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I always thought they were around $3000+ I hope to own a British one day and when that time comes I will definitely be sourcing out the second hand/used variety. $3000 is stupid imo.

Bullbreedlover Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Anyone who pays more than $2,500.00 for a Bulldog needs help. And even then that is way too much. Any breeder who charges more than $2,500.00 better be offering a completely sound stunning show potential and breeding puppy. And I know that some breeders do alot of health checks. But that is only my opinion. What do I know? Obviously money plays a huge part in some breeders programs Not just with Bulldogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pandii Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I would of thought that pricing them so high would make them attractive to BYB who are after a quick buck As much as I would love to own one, they are out of my price range, I could buy my daughter a cheap secondhand car for christmas with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 That seems an awful lot to pay for a pet! I know the breed is a high cost breed because it needs a c-section usually and has small litters.... but I'm sure with prices like that idiots would think they can breed for profits (and they probably could).

Initially I think she was thinking around the $1000 mark. Maybe she hasn't inquired for a long time. My son paid $1500 over 10 years ago. But you get what you pay for and we still have him with us today. My biggest gripe is that way too many are from BYB's, poorly bred and come with huge health probs. Consequently many an unknowing buyer spends outrageous prices purchasing and within 5 years they are staring at their much loved canine friend in an urn. Tell your friend to keep saving and research the breed carefully. Then if she is still interested, buy from a reputable breeder and she should share many years of happiness with her chosen breed. BB's are a pleasure to live with, they are delightful little clowns and will make you smile every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
