My buddy paid almost a grand for this pup.

And that seems to be sort of on the cheap side of what I've seen for pups.
Mature dogs, ex-studs/bitches, etc... yeah, I can see where that might drop the price a little.

They are all born by C-section due to their head size so puppies are very expensive. I would love to get a bulldog but the health problems worry me. I think I may opt for an Olde English Bulldogge or Victorian Bulldogge if I do get one. They can be hard to find though.

Pretty much the norm from my experience. We paid $1800 for our Bully and that was a deal because his tail wasn't show worthy.

They are very close to each other and so sweet. I am suprised at how well they have adjusted to our family. They love to go outside and strech out and give the biggest sloppy kisses when you give them a good scratching. *sigh* I'm in love.

Sad post initially but good that they met you...cool of you to take them in and show them some love.

Many breeders require fixing your dog in contract. Mine didn't but its common. They don't want the compitetion or for you to ruin the bloodline.

Cane Corso's run at that price easily. I got ours locally for half that price.
