yea the price of puppies is crazyyy..definitely look into rescues. Bulldogs are eh..they definitely are maintenance and they slobber a lot. I always liked the min pins low maintenance they stay small and they are very clean..as long as you don't get a yappy one you are good. LOL I have seen them very chill and quiet I have also seen them crazy and loud like chihuahas. I'm sure you know this but definitely spend time with the pup before you buy it regardless of the breed. Some people just point and buy then later realize this animal is not so great. That's a long term relationship so the chemistry has to be right. Just think of it like if we all married the 1st person we dated there would be a lot more unhappy people out there. Good luck bro!

My girlfriend favorite breed is the British bulldogs. They are amazing, and adorable as pups. ONly thing is she knows we will never get one. She is in college right now for vet tech and she and I both know the back grounds of bull dogs are sadly horrible health wise. CHD, KCS, shoulder luxation, and obviously skin fold dermatitis and horrible respitory problems. Not to mention the price tag straight from a breeder. SInce most females have to be artificially inseminated and have a C section during birth, obviously the price tag is usually 3 grand for a puppy. That's why I'm happy with my free mutt. My rottie/shepherd/pitt mix. He is my baby/daddys boy lol. Pitts are and forever will be my favorite breed of dog. That and chow chows. I grew up my whole life with chows.
what kind of bulldog were you thinking? english? french? british? american? chinese? ect...

The reason prices are so high in regard to Bulldogs is because they are extremely hard to breed. Most female specimens must be artificially inseminated and c sectioned at birth because of the composition of their body combined with their very bad respiratory problems, it's pretty hard to do it the old fashioned way and at birth some females have even died of breathing problems giving natural birth.
Here are some tips, be careful when buying a Bulldog (English Bulldog in particular, American not so much) make sure you have it checked by a vet for genetic respiratory diseases, these diseases are easily contracted in the breed sometimes even passed down accidently in the gene pool. My uncle bred AKC English Bulldogs for 36 years, by far one of the most difficult dogs to breed. Never leave an English Bulldog in hot weather fully exposed the sun for over 30min to an hour the dog could easily pass out, again number one problem with the breed is their breathing.
Sure these pups can sell for 2-3k sometimes but the breeder (a good honest breeder not a backyard breeder) can sped up to 10k for a single litter, sometimes for a litter of a mere one or two pups. They are great dogs though you'll love them, very loyal a bit on the smelly side though if you don't mind the farting lol.

me and my buddy breed them, worst thing we ever did because it cost as much as if i would of bought one and he ended up keeping 4 of them,LOL
I always suggest to adopt but this breed is almost impossible to find at the shelter. The downside to them is the live at max 9 years
