| Go to Chungmuro and walk East towards Dongdaemun Stadium. A couple blocks down from Chungmuro is puppy central, many many shops. |

No bulldog in there, but it is good food. |

I would look at a shelter first. There are sooo many dogs that need homes here. The doggies range from puppies to adult, pure bred to mixed breed. There's a hugh shelter in Daejeon. Check it out!
www.animalrescuekorea.org
Also you can go to the "Buying/Selling" section of this forum. There's a thread specifically for pets.
Good luck! |

Um, yes, I saw several purebreed puppies at the shelter when I picked up my dog.
Please don't buy a puppy; how sad that people continue to breed dogs when there are hundreds of perfectly wonderful pets with poor genetic background that need to be rescued. |

Be very careful trying to buy a puppy in Korea. Did you see how they mentioned that germ theory passed by Korea? They don't get the concept of how touching a sick puppy followed by a healthy puppy... that doesn't get sick for 10 days, could possibly be connected.
My friend and I went to Chungmuro to buy ourselves a pair of pups. We spent $900 on two puppies. They died. The next pair they gave us died. And the one I got after that. I got back $100, he got back nothing.
It wasn't us... the pups had Parvo, and came down with it about 2 - 5 days after we got them (incubation is 10 days).
My friend gave up and went to Europe to buy a healthy pup.
Most pure-breed dogs here are weak, sickly, and inbred. |

Sure they do, shelters have a lot of pure breeds, what do you think happens to all those adorable puppies purchased on a whim that are fun for about five minutes? There was a bulldog up for adoption a few weeks ago on www.animalrescuekorea.org that was rescued from a kill shelter. A lot of the pet shop puppies are very unhealthy I would look elsewhere, especially if you are looking for a bulldog, they have more health problems than ANY other breed you will not get a healthy bulldog from a pet store.
My three all came from the Daejeon shelter, and all together we have rescue six from Daejeon, everyone of them are fantastic dogs.

Don't support animal markets like the one in Chungmuro or the one in Dongdaemoon.
Get your pets from other pet-owners, or from shelters. They will certainly be in better health. If you do find bulldog breeders in Korea, which I think is very possible, you will pay a lot. No pet owner would ever give away a dog or cat for free. They don't believe in "free to a good home." They believe in money payment so they know you're not a butcher. |

Don't.
Fact is, the majority of dogs bred in Korea, to buy, are taken away from the mother far, far too early. As I'm sure you know if you have done even the smallest amount of research on owning a dog, that spells disaster. As a previous poster already mentioned, they are far more susceptible to illness, premature death, are harder to housebreak, and can become far more skittish in adult life than those puppies raised to a reasonable age with the mum. I'm assuming that since you want a dog, you care about them. In that case, please do not buy a dog in Korea. You're supporting a puppy mill business, the only difference being that these ones sell cute little dog clothes in the window.
I adopted my puppy from the Daejeon shelter last year, and whilst places like that (particularly in Korea) can be heartbreaking, I've rarely felt sicker than walking down pet shop street in Chungmuro. |
