Why do bulldogs cost so much ?
Why so much ..... ???
For People that wonder why in the world do the English bulldogs cost so much money?
Lets break it down. I get so many e-mails with people asking me almost the same thing over and over.
They seem to think most people just sit around and make millions.
First you need a good breeding pair.. Most likely you buy as a puppy.
And you do tons of Research on who and what you get.
You have to wait until breeding age and if they are not good breeding quality
you can kiss that money good bye and do it all over again.. A GOOD breeder WILL NOT breed just any thing !
Puppy you buy for future breeder $3000-$7000
Food and Supplies $2500-+
Vet for shots and check ups. $500+
AKC REG
License and Taxes Vary Depending on state
Time for Breeding***
Progesterone testing $300 -+
( it depends on how many tests you need)
If you are using an outside stud $1000-$2500+ depends on the stud your using
-Genetic testing $200-400-+
-Semen testing $100-+
-Shipping the semen each time $140+
-Now wait is your Bitch pregnant?***
-Special Food for the next 63 days $200-+
-Ultra sound and vet check up $130+
-X-ray Sound and Vet check up $100-+
Did she get pregnant and re-absorbed the babies? Or did not take at all? If so that sucks your out all that money.
Wow we were lucky and have puppies!!***
-C-Section time $600-$2500
-Puppy supplies for 8 weeks $1000.-+.
-DNA Testing for color. $150. + an then health test DNA $150. + an that's just for one pup.
(Can be much more depending on how many puppies)
Good Breeders are with the mom and puppies 24/7 for 2 weeks to make sure all is well.
If we were lucky and got $10 an hour, we could make $3360 but because we love our babies we don't even go there.
Now for the 8 weeks we care for these babies we love and bring into this world its well over 1,344 hours which if we did get paid $10 an hour would be $13,440.
Now you have tons of ads paid for or not it takes time out of your day to answer. If you have people show up you have to make sure you bleach down, which is more money and if they get anything we go back to the vet.
Then you have the No shows that waste your time. Or the ones that come so scared of animals its nuts!
So do we put alot of money out ahead of time ?? Yes!!
Do we put alot of time in our babies? YES!!
We too work way more then a hourly paying job.
So people that love to throw that up in breeders face really need to research.
