They range from $1800 to $5000. The lower cost ones ussually have some kind of mix or people that cut corners. The real expensive one's are special pure breds that are meant for shows.

I like the big paws the dog has. Hopefully will be a monster.

absolutely true. I knew this buying him at a pet store too. We were walking through the mall and stopped in the pet store and I saw him, got info on him and they said he was 7 months old. Pet stores dont keep puppies very long and having read that some pet stores even have dogs put down I "rescued" him lol

this is my boy as a pup

He looks awesome.

My 2nd thing was to get it as a pup so we can train them.

Looks like we'll get this pup end of the week and will be 8 weeks old.

ya def get her acclamated to the shop as soon as u can so she can get used to the noise and people coming in and out..cant wait to see her sometime!

and Mike u got lucky with ur dog buying it from a pet store. I know of many horror stories with dogs having all kinds of diseases, not getting their shots, and dying at young ages. IMO all pet stores should be shut down.

thanks, Def agree on getting him at a young age. Much easier to train, we got our Lab at 4 months and even that was too old for my taste. When they just naturally grow up around your lifestyle they get used to it without issues.

completely agree with you. Only issue he had was his eye, english bullys have a common issue where their inner eyelid comes out, If not treated it can lead to blindness, but if operated on it still has a chance to come back and its by no means a cheap surgery. He is still alive, I had to give him away because i didnt have as much time for him as i wish i did but he went to bully owners in CT that had a female and a huge yard so it seemed like a good thing for him. Im sure they took care of him...

cant wait to see the pup tho Don. Ill have to order something up and have you guys install it as an excuse lol
