My brother in law and his wife spent 1k on a purebred olde english bulldog a few years back. He never did the research about the health problems this breed has. He had to have this dog because he he saw someone with one and had to get one. He just spent 19k on vets bills due to the dog tearing some tendons in both its back legs all from running around at a dog park. This dog also has numerous respiratory problems. These breeding practices lead to these animals having horrible health issues.
