Answer
This is one of those questions that I dread.  First of all, you should be familiar with breeding dogs at least. She will have to be bred artificially, by a vet. There is no way of knowing how many puppies she may produce.  You can count on a c-section for delivery, whether it's one puppy or 8 puppies.  You also should consider whether you are in a position to bottle feed puppies around the clock because that's a very good possibility, especially for the first week. You should also be prepared to possibly lose your female in the delivery. These may seem like scare tactics, but this is the reality of raising a litter of Bulldog puppies. What can you do beforehand.....READ, LEARN, find a mentor who can guide you through it if possible. Or at least have someone knowledgable close by who can come to your rescue.  You will need to make sure her shots are up to date, that she is free of parasites (worms, fleas) and you will have to feed her a very good diet without allowing her to get obese but still providing the nutrition for growing puppies. Vitamins are also necessary.  I suggest you think long and hard before you get into this, but if you chose to go forward, I wish you the best of luck.
