My brother in law has one... paid around 400.00 bucks for it to start, then there's the yearly shots and stuff those can run around 150.00 a visit, the English Bulls are very prone to respiratory problems and are hard to train due to their stubborn nature. He has worked with the dog frequently, but still has problems with the dog tearing up things, chewing etc... as far as vets go what side of town do you live on???
