1. google english bulldog breeders. you want a bulldog from a breeder who is reliable
2. Contact the American Kennel Club Web site and check the breeder listings.
3. I know a few people who have litters. But here is a list of breeders emails you can email them and find out. http://thebca.org/breedref.html might want to look into rescue too there are plenty of them in rescue.
4. cheaper to raise a mix they have less health problems and live longer. some reference you can get to read up on. All the scientific studies in this area have found that the average mutt is healthier and will live longer than the average purebred. Here are a few references: 1) B.N. Bonnett, A. Egenvall, P. Olson, .

Their genetic health will be substantially higher." (P338) 3) A. Egenvall, B.N. Bonnett, P. Olson, .

Crossbreeds lived longer than average but several pure breeds lived longer than cross breeds, notably Jack Russell, miniature poodles and whippets" (S. 627 - thus only small and toy breeds, as to be expected) 6) G.J.

Age at death mixed breeds (Q1 Q2 Q3 mixed breeds 8,11,13, purebreds 6, 10, 12) I've yet to find any research that shows otherwise.
