If you get a bulldog (and I say this in COMPLETE seriousness), then you should put at least $2000 in savings to deal with related health issues, in addition to the cost of purchase.

Bulldogs have problems with stenotic nares, over developed soft palates (both of which contribute to breathing difficulties), bad knees, bad hips, bad elbows (which may require orthopedic repair), entropian (eyelids rolled in so that the hair rubs on the surface of the eye), dry eye, and bad skin and ears.

Because of their build and difficulties breathing, they are prone to heat stress – you must be extremely cautious with exercise. If you plan to breed, females (more often than not) require a cesarean section and males usually must be collected by hand since they cannot complete the act themselves.

In the veterinary field, the joke is that bulldogs are for the very rich or the very foolish. Yes, they are cute (especially as puppies) and usually very sweet. But please, please research carefully to find out what you’re getting yourself into. Yes, some people may own a bullie and never have an issue or a problem – but that is truly the exception.

Only $2000 in savings? Yes, maybe for one surgery. I would anticipate spending a LOT more than that on vet bills for any purebred dog because everyone I know who has had purebreds has had major health problems related to their inbreeding. And why spend money on a dog when there are millions in shelters that you can get for free who need good homes? It is my personal belief that mutts are much better dogs in the long run, but I know people will continue to love purebreds regardless so I’ll shut my mouth now. But I agree with syz wholeheartedly.

If your going with a bulldog, listen to what syz has to say. Medical bills can range well above 6000 dollars depending on what your paying for, and trust me when i say that the older your bulldog gets, the more health issues uts gonna face. Sad but true
