very simple question. Look to the WABA
I know where you are coming from.
American Bulldog world is so full of BS that it takes forever to go through all the kennel blindness (thinking their stuff is the best).
Price is all over the place and I would hold little value in it. Expect to pay 700 to 1200 for a good pup. That basically covers vet care, advertising for good homes, and all the extra expenses. A REAL breeder never gets his money back. It is a passion. Not a vocation.
Look more for breeders that have PROVEN their stuff. Not on the internet.......in show (if you want a good looking dog) and in work (if you want an intelligent, athletic, workable).
Here is where I would start EVERY TIME when I look for an american bulldog. EVERY TIME.

When I was looking for a real bulldog, I looked at the females that have a BST, BST II or WST II.
At the time, the ONLY one was Harddog's Petey (female). I asked around and Gary Johnson (owner/trainer of Petey) called me up. I was lucky. He had pups off of her. Only 3 were born. The father Max was also a BST and sch1.
Ice the pup (now grown) also has a BST. Can you see the trend? Good dogs create good dogs.
Now, how many dogs are bred this way?????? Yet I paid only 700 dollars.
That is what Working American Bulldog Association is for. Testing, working, evaluating BREED SUITABILITY TEST (BST). This list of all the good dogs HELPED ENOURMOUSLY.
The germans use this for their shepards. Why not us bulldoggers?
Hey. I hope I was of help.
Another case in point. Q my Chucky's daddy. BST and PSA 1.
Good breeders don't deal/breed crap. They breed best to the best and hope to IMPROVE the breed for themselves.
I am a HUGE advocate of WABA. It is OUR breed worthy registry.
Also, look at the judges in the WABA website. Most are very reputable breeders.
If you cannot get the phone numbers........let me know. I can get them to you.
Good luck in your search.
