What To Look For In Champion English Bulldog Puppies For Sale

By Jose Bell


If you want to show dogs you are looking for a puppy that is much more than just a house pet. To find what you're looking for, you must deal only with recognized breeders offering pups from litters registered with the AKC. These breeders have met the rigorous rules and regulations that govern the American Kennel Club. Choosing the pick of a litter out of the champion English bulldog puppies for sale is a very specific process.

If you're going into the show world in a serious way, you have to know all about the lineage of the puppy you select. The more prestigious the heritage a litter has, the more expensive the puppies from it will be. Any puppy you choose has to have the accepted bulldog temperament. That means lacking aggression and shyness. You want a pup with a dignified and friendly demeanor and one that is calm rather than nervous or uneasy. An easy way to determine a puppy's temperament is by examining the expression on its face.

Fully mature male bulldogs weigh fifty pounds while the females come in slightly less at forty pounds. When you are deciding whether to buy a male or a female, you should consider that the general consensus is that females will not have the characteristics to make them perfect bulldog specimens. Males can attain this perfection. This doesn't mean you should avoid a female. Judges adjust their expectations for females.

Champions have symmetrical features. If you want a show dog, you don't want a puppy with one feature more noticeable than others. For judges, this makes a dog poorly proportioned. Your puppy's eyes must be away from the ears, down low, and wide apart. Champions don't have sunken or bulging eyes. Judges look at the color of the dog's iris. It has to be dark. If you have a puppy with green or blue eyes, you don't have a championship show dog.

The puppy's ears must be thin and small. There is a shape called rose ear that judges most like to see. You should never crop the ears. The skull must be large. When measuring the circumference of the skull you are looking for a number that is the same as the height of the dog at the shoulders.

When the puppy is facing you, his head should be broad, high, and square. His forehead must be flat instead of domed or rounded. Bulldogs' cheeks must protrude to the side and be full and rounded.

You want a pup that has a thick neck that is both short and strong. His body should be full at the side with ribs that are well rounded. Classic bulldogs are broad, short legged, and low to the ground. They have broad chests. Bulldog standards include broad shoulders that narrow as it goes toward the loins.

Your puppy can have a screwed or straight tail. They are both acceptable. Curved or curly tails are not acceptable. The puppy's skin should be loose and soft in appearance. His head and face should be full of wrinklies. A rolling gait is the kind of walk you want to see in any puppy you choose.
