Blue Bulldogs
Blue Bulldogs are a unique alteration to the standard English Bulldog. They usually have a blue-grey coat and can sometimes even have blue eyes. Blue eyed Bulldogs are certainly different from the brown-eyed standard.
As I’m sure you all know, the standard for Bulldogs is not Blue eyes. It’s actually a dark brown/black. However, the AKC doesn’t mention a standard eye color for Bulldogs. So, officially, a Blue-eyed Bulldog could compete within showings.
It is my opinion that breeders should strive to obtain the breed standard in order to achieve the most prototypical and healthy Bulldogs as possible. In this case, I believe it is important to try to obtain the brown/black eye standard.
Blue Eyes, however, are the result of a recessive genetic being obtained by the Bulldog, and not even the best breeder in the world could stop that. It’s very difficult if not impossible to tell what recessive genes the male and female carry. Therefore, it is not the fault of the breeder if Blue eyes are somehow achieved (in most cases).
There are other breeders, however, that specifically try and breed blue-eyed bulldogs and charge a premium price for them.
So what kind of premium are you paying for this exactly? I have seen upwards of $10,000 being charged for this rare Bully. Is it worth it? To me, no.
But not all people are the same. Maybe you would like to pay $10K for a Bulldog with blue eyes. That, of course, is your complete prerogative!
The bottom line is that these Bulldogs do exist and are extremely rare, and because of this rarity you will pay a premium for one. If you find one, be absolutely certain it is purebred English of French Bulldog and make sure you obtain AKC documentation before purchase and affirm that the breeder is responsible and knowledgeable.

This is a nightmare for our breed. And their breeders are unethical and irresponsible ... as well as trying to literally scam buyers with crazy prices.
The akc standard is brown or dark eyes. You can lie about colors and get an akc registration. You can't show a bulldog with blue eyes. Read up about the Merle gene.
An intriguing discussion is worth comment. I think that you need
to publish more about this subject, it may not be a taboo
subject but generally people do not speak about
such issues. To the next! Best wishes!!
