Recognizing the extended growth pattern of the Bulldog, the breeder shall not breed the bitch prior to 18 months of age. Back to back litters are not encouraged. After a bitch is five (5) years old, her owner should seek the opinion of a veterinarian regarding her health for breeding.
All Bulldog bitches being bred shall be sound and have typical structure and conformation and shall be of good temperament.
No breeder shall offer at stud any Bulldog who does not meet the above qualifications.
If the stud dog is unproven or has had breeding problems in the past, such information shall be provided to the owner of the bitch before the bitch is bred.
Owners of stud and bitch shall sign a written agreement, clearly stating the conditions and terms of service. An agreement should also include what type of breeding will take place (natural, AI, chilled semen, frozen semen).
It is the obligation of the breeder to honestly and fairly inform the owner of the stud dog, or bitch, as well as all buyers of pups, all known or suspected medical conditions or health problems.
A breeder shall be available to his buyers for whatever reasonable advice and assistance they may need.
No BCA member shall engage in wholesaling litters or in individual sales or consignments of pups or adults to pet shops, dealers, catalog houses or other commercial establishments, nor shall they be donated or given as prizes in contests, raffles, or fundraising events, no matter how charitable.
The breeder will ask the buyer(s) to advise him if they are ever unable to keep their Bulldog, so the breeder can either take the dog back or give every assistance at placing it in a new home.
