Anyone know of a English Bulldog breeder in CA? pref. L.A.?

I am looking to purchase an English Bulldog pup. by late May (the latest). The problem is I keep running into people that are out of state and I don't feel to secure about going that route. I am looking for a pup. male with AKC ...please if anyone can help please help. This is a graduation gift for my brother.
Answers:
You might try www.breeders.net. They are a really helpful site in this case. I found both my puppies that way.

The best place to find a responsible breeder is through a referral from the breed's parent club:
http://www.thebca.org/

Please keep in mind that one of the indications that you are dealing with a responsible breeder is that they don't constantly have puppies available. You may have to wait for a healthy, quality pup, but it will be worth it in the long run.
Perhaps for a graduation present, you can take your brother to visit the breeder's kennel and meet the parents of his future pup.
Remember that AKC registration alone is not a guarantee of quality.
Here are some suggested questions one can use to determine if a breeder is truly responsible:

1. Is she an AKC registered breeder of good standing and an active member of her breed Parent Club?

2. Are there AKC Champions listed on the pedigree, showing that the breeder spends her time %26 money to prove the quality of her breeding stock through competition?

3. Are all the animals kept in clean, comfortable, healthy, loving circumstances?

4. Did the breeder conduct extensive interviews with you and every member of your family?

5. Have the sire %26 dam received all available health clearances, (eg. OFA Hip %26 Eye, Thyroid testing, THESE VARY FOR EACH BREED)

6. Is she willing to honestly discuss any possible genetic defects that may exist in her line?

7. Does she have a Sales Contract?

8. Does the contract contain a clause stipulating that you spay or neuter the puppy before it reaches a certain
age?

9. Does the contract contain a clause stating that if at any time in the puppy's life, you can no longer care for it, it must be returned to the breeder? (This ensures that no animal bred by this breeder will ever end up in a shelter).

10. Will the breeder maintain contact with you for the life of the puppy to answer questions and help in general?
