We have been very lucky in that we selected two healthy dogs that are able to conceive on their own and my female gives birth naturally. Her first litter was born in two hours. We believe that if the dogs cannot conceive and give birth naturally they shouldn't be bred. I know that goes against many traditional Bulldog breeders feelings about maintaining some specifics of the breed, but I feel that it is in the best interest and health of the dogs.<BR/><BR/>www.lovelandbullies.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13306363.post-21076711391486537162008-09-17T23:07:00.000-06:002008-09-17T23:07:00.000-06:00Thanks for the information.

You're absolutely correct when you suggest it should <BR/>be left to the professionals.<BR/><BR/>Great post!<BR/><BR/>- Abbie's MomAbbie's Momhttp://www.bulldogabbie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13306363.post-51143852614441275772007-12-19T08:56:00.000-07:002007-12-19T08:56:00.000-07:00Hey Jan,<BR/><BR/>When we bought our English Bulldog from our breeder who we believe is very reputable we had to sign a no-compete clause that basically said we could not breed with our new English Bulldog. <BR/><BR/>We were totally fine with that! :)<BR/><BR/>I agree that people should not get into breeding English Bulldogs without having high ethical values and an immense knowledge about the breed.<BR/><BR/>Just my 2 cents.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work,<BR/><BR/>Kyle and Trinity<BR/>www.EnglishBulldogBlog.comkbattisnoreply@blogger.com
