As you find American Bulldog breeder information, draw up a list of potential Bulldog breeders from whom you may make a purchase. Call veterinarians and ask for their assistance. You will need to check for the American Bulldog breeder names on the American Bulldog breeder registry.
Contact previous customers for their opinion about the breeder and the quality of the puppy's health and social training that the customer purchased from the Bulldog breeder.

If a breeder will not give you or doesn't have a list of puppy owner references, it is probably a bad sign.
