the guy a few houses down from me breeds those dogs and he sells them for like 3500-5000 dollars each. nice but way out of my budget lol.
Yeah they are one of the most expensive breeds. Champion bloodlines are ridiculously expensive, but really with all the potential health risks with the English Bullys it is worth it to have healthy bloodlines. If not, you'll only pay much more in vet bills later on...They have lots of skin problems-- skin fold dermatitis, fungal infections, interdigital cysts, etc, eye problems, nasal problems. It's one of those breeds that you really need to be picky about a breeder with. Essentially they are an ENTIRELY man-made breed. Nothing really evolutionarily beneficial in their current form...lol...thus, lots of potential health probs.
They are my passion though. Always were. My parents bred and showed Great Pyrenees for 20 some years and I remember going to dog shows as a child...one time I saw a pen of English Bully puppies and that was it. I was going to have nothing else..lol
Ogies my first, I could have gotten one sooner but I was ready last year to finally be able to dedicate the time and money to getting a champion sired and showing/breeding him.
