Ivory & Beau Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Is this a real breed? There is someone apparently breeding them in Perth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tibbie_tabbie Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) There is someone breeding/selling blue and Tri-colour Bulldogs, for $15k. When I asked if registered as don't think colour is in the standard, I never got an answer. They used to breed Dogues I believe so are probably on here. Not sure if same thing....can't seem to load the link. Edited August 14, 2015 by Tibbie_tabbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivory & Beau Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 Never heard of them before! The seller quoted them to have the only two in Australia ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 This pretty much sums it up... http://webs.dogs.net.au/bbcnsw/uploads/documents/Buyers_Beware_with_photos.pdf.pdf These Non Standard Coloured dogs should be no more expensive than a correct coloured Bulldog, as that is what they are, a British Bulldog, no more and no less, being sold for the Dollar to ill informed buyers. Unfortunately the latest breed to be hit with the blue 'fad'. I've also seen 'purple' ones being sold for $15k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheridan Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 These featured on an episode of The Supervet. Young couple from Iran who had moved to the UK had two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salukifan Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Never heard of them before! The seller quoted them to have the only two in Australia ... Then I'd be wanting to see their import papers. It's a USA developed dog but to be best of my knowledge, it's not AKC or UKC recognised. They do have their own breed club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankdog Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 They may be something like the Johnson bulldog. They're supposed to be similar to what original British bulldog were when they were still an athletic fighting dog. I've seen johnsons come up in rescue, not a dog for those who don't want to do a lot of training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juice Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I saw them on supervet too, massive dogs. both had alot of jont issues that needed surgery, botttomless pit i thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pjrt Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I'd heard of them before and to me they just look a heck of a lot like many of the large bull and mastiff mixes in pounds everywhere. I'd want to see some evidence of heritage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandiandwe Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Went to the ABBA site. Was interesred that they publicly list banned breeders and the reasons for the bans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankdog Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Interesting but not a bad policy. I'm a bulldog fan so I think they're pretty good looking. If you cast around the Internet you can find pictures of Bulldogs before they were bred to be what they are now and they're quite similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandiandwe Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 They're not my type of dog at all, but those pictured and described do seem to be closer to the original breed and less exaggerated to my very untrained eye. But yes, an interesting policy, but one which would help people make more educated choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
