How Importers Of English Bulldogs Lie And Cheat Their Way To Profit.

Okay, that is a pretty bold statement. While it is not true of every importer, it is quite common. Many importers of English bulldog puppies are buying cheap puppies from overseas and bringing them in to the U.S. where they will triple or quadruple the price they paid for the puppy. They do this after often breaking numerous federal laws in the process. Be warned and do your homework. An English bulldog puppy can be a great addition to your home. Be sure to buy from a reputable breeder of English bulldog puppies. It will save you a tremendous amount of stress. Not to mention potentially thousands of dollars in saved vet bills.
Some importers lie about how old their imported puppies actually are. These lies are told when the puppies arrive into the U.S.A and have to pass through the U.S.A Customs procedures. Before a puppy is sold from an importer to a would be customer, it is mandated by law that such a puppy be given its rabies vaccination. By law an imported puppy should not be sold to a customer until 30 days after being imported into the U.S.A. California law dictates that a puppy should receive its first rabies vaccination at 4 months of age. Based on these realities, an imported puppy should not be sold to a new owner until it is at least 4 to 5 months old, assuming that it received its first vaccination at the youngest age stipulated by U.S.A law. In keeping with the tone of this article, it should be clear by now that many importers do not exactly follow these stipulated time lines when selling their English bulldogs.
So how do importers get around the U.S. customs? Very simple. They lie. They have the breeder put on the health certificate that the bulldog puppy in question is a miniature bulldog (hence its small size) and that it is 4 to 7 months old and has already been rabies vaccinated. I have confronted an importer in Mississippi. This lady has a prominent website and claims to import dozens of bulldogs a year. When I caught her in this lie she flat out told us that if the U.S. customs had a problem with this that they would do something about it. According to this lady, everybody does it. And the U.S. customs does nothing about it. So by default. While it is not lawful, it is permitted.
One should understand that you usually get what you pay for. Do not be enticed by a cheap price on a puppy. A cheap puppy will most likely be underage and it should be understood that a reputable breeder will not sell an underage puppy to an importer or lie about their puppies on health certificates and vaccination cards. If a breeder or importer is willing to lie about such things, how can you be sure that they are not lying about the pedigree of the puppy or other related matters?
For peace of mind and for the sake of your pocketbook, buy a healthy, well-bred English bulldog puppy for sale from a reputable breeder directly. Don't go through a middleman. While there are some honest resellers. Many are in it only for a quick buck. Stick with a long time breeder who has a good reputation and it will serve you well.
