Resources for Breeders
Everybody can do with help or just a place to get information if they need. The Bulldog Clubs and Taskforce are focussed on building resources to help breeders. We are working on a range of resources including puppy induction packs, template agreements and breed resources.
Please feel free to click on the range of articles and podcasts linked below. Please note the Taskforce does not promote a specific product or approach. We always recommend speaking to your vet before undertaking any actions relating to your dogs health. The links on this website are for information and discussion purposes only and are intended to keep us all up to date.
