I've been to Don's house and went through his yard with him. He's got some nice dogs for sure.
I checked him out after reading your post. He does have some nice looking dogs. But like to many other bulldog breeders, He's a little to proud of his dogs when it comes to price. I've said it before, I don't expect a free dog. Nobody owes me any favors,and I'm nobody special.But 1,000 to 1,500 for a catch dog seems a bit high.The people I've gotten dogs from in the past I thought were fair. They got me started in bulldogs and I'm thankful for them. They breed a more standard hybrid type dog. They have been helpful in finding a more old school bulldog for breeding to my female or getting a pup from. I figure I'd ask some hog dog people to see if they knew any bulldog men that sold bulldogs at catch dog prices.
