Mostly the health problems come when the breed gets overstated what often happens with show dogs.
Bulldogs are known for shorter life spans. A friend just had one pass, who just turned 11.
So far our medical bills have been almost nothing.
Maggie had cherry eye, which was under $50 to fix.
One of her puppies had cherry eye.
One of our males will need tail surgery, it is a little to tightly screwed, causing problems. ($350)
The other male had a face lift, haha his wrinkles were to much on his face, and folded into his eye, scratching the surface. That was under $300 (I think)
all the other vet things we have done are normal for all dogs.
Shots, checkups, micro chipped.

If your going to spend $1,200-$5,000 on a dog, you should be able to provide the best dog food, and care.

Love the dogs like Family!
