1. No, you do not need a license to breed and sell english bulldog puppies. But I am going to tell you to not breed puppies if you are going to sell them. Millions of animals are killed in animal shelters throughout the world.
2. I really really wish that was true
3. Not knowing where you live I`ll go by what i know here in the US. As a breeder of Flat Coats I do not need a breeder license. If I exceed 6 dogs though, i need a kennel license In my state. Good Luck and God Bless
4. ummm, yes...you have to get training and you must obtain a license from the AKC . . . and you also must have your champion pedigree bloodline papers on file . . . and be trained and certified in CPR . . . um, did I miss anything people? :) Please don't breed, they are way too sweet to do that to them, I am only saying that because you are clearly not a exhibitor of your dogs, so you can not have any points or champions. Please just love your pet and have her spayed, she will appreciate that so much.
5. No, but you want to have AKC registered parents with champion titles and a clean bill of health as far as genetic diseases are concerned.
6. No, but PLEASE research breeding before doing so.. It is the most difficult breed to breed. So many end up in rescues because inexperienced backyard breeeders think they will make a quick buck. below is from a rescue about a special lil girl named Lola... Special Needs: Lola is a wonderful English Bulldog- as cute as she is and as fun to be around-she has a multitude of health problems. She has already had surgery for her elongated palate- this was necessary because she did not have enough room in the back of her throat and asperated on food. She suffered from a very serious case of pnemonia- we almost lost her and she had to spend a week at the emergency vet in an oxygen crate. She also suffered from everted laryngeal saccules, which is common in brachycephalic breeds because the raspy way they breathe causes turbulent air flow in the trachea. She had to have several glands surgically removed from her throat because it could have collased her windpipe. she was also spayed during this surgery. Lola has been to several board certified orthopedic vets because she has a congenital growth defect in the elbow. One of the growth plates closed too early- causing one bone to stop growing. This bone- the Ulna- is in her elbow socket, the other bone- the Radius- is not. We were planning on having surgery done on this elbow in October, but then she got pnemonia. She was not up to having the surgery while recovering- it was too risky so the plan now is to wait until she is done growing (12- 16 months old) and then do surgery at that time. So, Lola's next surgery will take place sometime between June- September 2009. She also has many other health issues: her hips are not in their sockets, her other front leg will need surgery in the future also, she has luxating patellas, she has chronic breathing problems, she has a weak immune system and is often sick. We have made a committment to Lola and love her so much. The rescue will do everything we can to ensure Lola has a great life. We are so thankful to Lola's angels: Lola Krupa (
