he is saying the female got out during beginning of heat and he cant guarantee she is purebred
she looks like she might be i just think her nose is a little long but looking at pics on the internet i see there are many different face variations associated with this breed anyone know how to tell for sure?

Sorry to break it to you, but I don't think there is a way to tell 100%. Post a picture of her though, and you can have an opinion. We have a large number of EB's on this board.

at any rate she is a loving dog its just the nose that throse me off and her wrinkles arent very pronounced yet but get more and more every day. iguess what i am asking is does it take a little while for some EB's to get really really wrinjled

One of the EB owners is going to have to help you with this. You might try pming maryserratos or Bearsmom. Those are 2 that I can think of off the top of my head.

thats really who i was hoping would see this ill put up pics tommorrow

 

[maryserratos]

Yes, some EB's get wrinkles a little later than others. Some just don't get wrinkly. Look at the parents, that should give you an idea of how wrinkly your baby will be. I have never seen an purebred EB that had a nose at all. I am not saying they don't exist, I have just never seen one. They are bred to have no muzzle. I would love to see a pic though. I will give you my best opinion of what I think !!! I need LOTS AND LOTS of pics to do it though..LOL :wink:

 

[Chuggas_dad]

ok its not a nose really kind of a short muzzle she is fawn color with white markings

a short fat girl

also do you recommend getting tail clipped at 12 weeks

im kinda unsure because she sure breathes like an EB and im afraid she wont do well with anasthesia(sp?)

Heck no!!! Tails are to be done between days 3-5. I wouldn't even consider that.

I would not do it only for cosmetic reasons. If she has trouble with it then you may need to. I know this because my females tail was not cropped. She does not have a long tail, but it is not a little nubby one either. I was not even concerned with it until she had trouble. I have to have it done, I have been putting it off but I have to do it now. When she poos, she can't lift her tail like most dogs. It sits too tight against the body so the poo gets stuck and begins to irritate the skin.

Like Amocat said, it should be done at 3-5 days. Do not risk putting her under for look. It is not worth it...

Still waiting for pics :wink:

yeah the vet i went to suggested i get it amputated because of tail injury but advised he would have to give her sleep medicines to do it because of tying of a vein. it all sounds risky as hell to me.ive fallen in love with her pure or not
but pics will be up tommorow

 

[bearsmom]

Post pics.

Also, a EB's tail shouldn't be docked. I'm lucky both Bear and Molly have the cute corkscrew tails. Bears is very tight against his butt and Molly's is more out and it likes like she wages it like a tinkerbell. It's sooooo cute.

Also, to answer your appearance questions, you could consult the bread standard written for EB's. You can find alot of information on www.thebca.org

ive never owned a purebred so those measurements mean nothing to a newbie like me.it doesnt really matter i love bulldogs even half bulldogs im more along the lines of curious for medical reasons.im definately not breeding my baby so its really just curiosity
