That's unfortunately the trend with a lot of mixes like that or designer breeds. They're bred more for the cute name and the money, since labradoodles and other doodles and poos will sell for $500-$2000.Thanks for your opinion!! Have you ever heard of beabulls? (Beagle/bulldog mix) supposedly, if you get a pup who is 75% or more bulldog and less beagle, you essentially get a bulldog in terms of looks and overall temperament, but cancel out most of the health problems of bulldogs due to the beagle aspect. I did alot of research on those too...but it's proven hard to find what seems like a reputable breeder, as most I've come across seem more like puppy Mills...
Really? My understanding of crossing 2 breeds you will get some offspring that will be like the english bulldog, some like the beagle and some somewhere in between? And that will go for the offspring of these crosses. Or have I got it wrong?Thanks for your opinion!! Have you ever heard of beabulls?

That sounds like a normal price for that breed. Offering for less....Idk. You just have to look into it. Some breeders have different philosophies about puppy cost. My breed is the border collie. It's pretty normal for a lot of bigger sport breeders to charge up to $2000 for their dogs, all health tested for HD, CEA, etc. But, I've also encountered some working breeders who do all the same health tests that ask under $1000 because they simply don't believe a good dog should cost somebody a fortune.Sure! I'd appreciate that! I've found a couple breeders of beabulls, and while they say they supply a health certificate, the way they go about just shipping off the pups without really inquiring anything about the prospective owner is kind of sketch ...not so much the shipping part - I know everyone has varying opinions....while I don't really want a breeder grilling me up and down, it's good to at least see a little concern for where the pups are going.
I'm leaning more toward an English mastiff so far though! Only thing that stinks is how much they cost!! (Actually, bulldogs and beabulls too).
The breeder I'm currently looking at for mastiffs sells pups for between $2000 to $3000. I've been aware of their cost for awhile having researched, but say you found a breeder offering them for less...is thst a bad sign? Is $2000 a marked up price or overall typical? From what I've read so far it's typical I think ...
And thanks! I didn't know the specific health clearings to ask about. Must have missed that in my extensive research (haha ive been obsessed with researching for so long now!) Only knew it's good to see a health certificate and view the parent dogs. I'll make sure to check out this breeder fully!That sounds like a normal price for that breed. Offering for less....Idk.

So talk to them. Make sure they're doing the health testing. ESPECIALLY hip displaysia. You want OFA graded hips on parents. If they offer you a note from the vet saying the parents are healthy or hips are normal, not good enough! It MUST be either OFA or PennHip. It might help to ask about the eyes too. English Mastiffs are prone to a lot of genetic eye issues like entropion and cherry eye.
The parent breed club website is often a great resource for finding reputable breeders and what health tests you should be seeing done.
idk if my pic showed up or not ...hahathese little (well soon to be big) munchkins were recently born! I hopefully will be adopting one of the sweet little boys in may!
That's because nothing but mills and backyard breeders ever breed a dog like that. They're mutts with a high price tag and completely unpredictable look, health, and temperament. Do not waste your money on a mill bred mutt. If you want a bulldog mix with a longer snout, look in rescues for one. Or like someone else said look into the Olde English Bulldog. Don't be scammed into believing you're purchasing a puppy that's in any way more special than an average mutt, and very possibly still has some bad health issues.Thanks for your opinion!!
