Hi - I can answer some basic breeding and whelping questions; My experience has been in pet health and wellness for over 20 years. ALL BREED QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME; Most of my experiences are with English Bulldogs: (C-sections for Bulldogs are very common) In recent years, more Bullies are free-whelping and it is improving the breed (anything that could be done without surgery is a major improvement). However c-sections are still common and done far more than free-whelps, like 95% of the time. C-Sections : You should plan on a c-section for your bulldog bitch unless she has been cleared by a vet for free-whelping, then plan on letting her deliver at the vet clinic. This is one reason breeding Bulldogs should be left to those with a great deal of experience. ***(Make sure you shop around for a good English Bulldog Vet with experience )
