As I wrote in the post about Why Bulldogs are so expensive, people have asked why ours are expensive. I wanted to shed some light on why we take pride in raising our babies and why ours are so different from other breeders. I have bought other babies from other breeders and I am NOT bashing them. But I will tell you how ours are dramatically different.
1. POTTY TRAINING: When our babies start transitioning at about 4 weeks from nursing to traditional baby mush, they are taken outside to go potty. Everytime they wake up, they go potty from then on. After they eat, they go potty. They are TRAINED to go outside. By the time they leave here, they are crate trained, cry to go potty and are extremely easy to potty train at home. I have yet to meet another breeder who does this. Some say they are "paper trained" but that's a bunch of hooey.
2. SOCIALIZATION: They are well socialized not only with our other bullies, but our children who have always had bulldogs. They are held, cuddled, snuggled with, kissed, played with on a regular basis. They spend MORE time in someone's lap, bed or our couch then they do in their play pen!!!!! THEY ARE PEOPLE DOGS!!! SO many of my breeder friends, leave them in their cages/pools. They are fed and their bedding is changed but other than that, they are NOT socialized.........other than their kennel mates.......
3. TRAINING: They are trained on BASIC commands: Leash training, sit, shake, gentle (to not snap at little ones), and training them NOT to be food or bowl aggressive.
4. NO BAIT SWITCHING: Our puppies are ONE price..........No bait switching for limited vs full registration
5. MICROCHIPPED: I am constantly floored and shocked at as expensive as these babies are, that many, if not MOST puppies are NOT microchipped. NOT us. Ours ARE microchipped.
6. BULLDOG VET: We LOVE our vet. He has always owned bulldogs. He & His dad went to UGA. He RAISES bulldogs. He studied as a protege under the ONLY vet at UGA that's allowed to treat the mascot and specializes in bulldogs. So any of our babies or bulldog issues go to him!
7. INTERVIEW: Believe it or not, NOT just anyone who lays down the cash can buy our pups. Every single person who buys a pup, goes through an interview process and has to meet certain criteria. Questions have to be answered. These babies are ours and raised like family. If we feel someone is not a good fit, then we move on. Even if that means, we have to have them a little while longer. I haven't met ANY other breeders who do this!
8. NEW PUPPY PACKS: When our babies leave our home, we want them to transition as easy as possible. So we give a gift bag of different important items as they transition with their new family. You can read about our New Puppy Packs HERE.
