how many times does a female english bulldog go into heat?

These are all questions your breed mentor can answer for you. Oh wait, you don't have one, do you? You're just a BYB that wants to make money instead of bettering the breed you're working with.

Do the world and yourself a favor and get your dogs fixed.

They go into heat about 2 a year, they also require c-sections and many need to be artificially inseminated. You have to have them genetically tested before breeding and should never breed before they are both 2. To do so responsible you need to also prove they are of breeding quality by earning there championships. You do not want to be a BYB do you? You will need to have a breed mentor, this is especially important as the Bulldogs are very hard to breed and have a high mortality rate. I cannot understand why someone would risk the life of there pet but at lest do it right.

the word is BREED.

And she'll go into 1-2 heats a year until you do the right thing and have her spayed and get your male neutered as well.

What exactly is so special about your dog that she needs to be bred? no show titles? No genetic clearances? Champions in her bloodline mean NOTHING. The majority of purebreds and even a few mutts can claim that. Doesn't mean they should be allowed to breed.

I suggest if you are SERIOUS about being a responsible about breeding a breed that is KNOWN for having issues with natural breeding I suggest you find a REPUTABLE breeder to mentor you and get into showing your dogs. Of course that's if they are even registered and have the potential to be worthy to breed.

First when they are old enough

do you know how to collect you're male?

Are you showing them to prove that they are breeding quality?

Will you have the appropriate genetic health tests lined up for them?

Do you have enough money for a c-section lined up?

WILL you have that c-section lined up?

Do you have a breeding mentor?

Do you have enough money for emergencies or for post and PRE natal vet checks?

DO you have some 20,000 dollars lined up for this breeding? cause thats what you are going to need.

If its no to any of those they are not BREEDing quality and should be altered.

YOu have no clue what you are doing, obviously because you have to ask here.

Get your dogs altered and stop thinking of being a BYB.

FYI you can't even breed for another 2 years. SO that will give you plenty of time to do this right, if you are smart.

If you don't do this responsibly say goodbye to you're female because you will kill her.

neither should be bred until at least 2 years of age.. both need their CH titles, and also proper genetic health tests thru the OFA, CERF, BAER, Optigen and PennHip, as well as brucellosis tests.

You also need a breed mentor, several years of research, and lots of $$$, as bulldogs are not cheap to breed. They often require artificial insemination, and cecarians.

Females cycle approx every 6 months.. some individuals my cycle more often, and some may cycle less often.

ADDED

With all the genetic tests, and costs of AI, showing, prenatal care, cecarian, your friends may end up spending more than they planned.

AI is costly, and doesnt always take.. it can take several attempts to AI a dog.

The dogs do at least need the genetic tests to assure they are not passing genetic disease on to the pups..

Bulldogs typically need c-sections, and could easily die whelping. You've got 1 1/2 years minimum to determine if they're good enough to breed, learn all you can about whelping, and save money.

Well..I would never want to bread my dog, but I guess to each his own.

1. Set your oven to 450 degrees

2. Roll your dogs in some sticky substance like egg

3. Dip them in bread crumbs of whatever type you want.

4. Stick them in the oven and bake until crispy.

If you are asking about breeding english bulldogs on yahoo, you shouldn't be breeding them at all(or you "father" either). It's going to cost you more than you can afford to have them deliver, than it will to sell your "english bulldog". Hopefully your female won't die trying to birth to her puppies because of her ungrateful owners!! Well have your"family member" go to a REAL BREEDER to a english bull dog, not a back yard breeder like yourself!!!!

wait until 2 years to begin

she will go into heat twice a year.

only breed every other year.

get a breeder to mentor you.

First you need flour and yeast. (LMAO!!! Mutts.. so funny)

PS: Don't breed your dogs, there are too many shelter dogs who need homes already. You also don't sound very educated about "breading"..
