Bullcanes - sick puppies

To whom it may concern,

I purchased a puppy from the company Bullmachine Import/Export, Inc.”
and the addresses listed are Miami, FL and Medellin, Columbia.
Here’s what I’ve gone through since her arrival January 29/2010.

Paypal doesn't allow them to use the service anymore. They claim they are in Miami but the Kennel is in Colombia.

•At her Puppy Exam, the vet had many questions about how pure she was.
I loved her already but it seemed unfair. Within a couple of days I
noticed blood in the stool. She had coccidia which comes from kennels with many
dogs. When asked about this by email I got no response.

•My dog started losing hair in spots around her neck and back around
4-5 months old. The vet said it was Demodectic Mange. This type of
mange usually comes from a litter of affected puppies. parents pass it along to the puppies and that
they now have a genetic weakness of their immune systems. It is
recommended that these puppies not be bred and the parents not be bred
again. So they are knowingly selling sick dogs. I wrote and they told me
that in order to honor the guarantee they needed written confirmation
from 2 veterinarians to which I complied. My vets certified the Dx in
writing and included their credentials, puppy's medical hx,
immunization record and contact # in case they wanted to further
discuss the case. Once they had everything they took their sweet time
answering back. It's only bc I keept writing on their site, facebook
page, twitter etc that they finally replied. They say that in their
experience the dog has a fungus and that they don't believe I found vets
with bulldog experience therefore they will give me $200 "out of the
kindness of their hearts" for the treatment. It's infuriating. They
must know that if someone is willing to pay $2000 on a dog 10% of the purchase is not
what they need. I want some to take responsibility for my baby's pain
and discomfort and to save people from going through this ordeal. They insulted me repeatedly and said I was taking advantage of my puppy's condition. Really?

More proof?

See? After 2 letters from vets stating the disease they doubt the diagnosis. How convenient. Now they don't have to honor the guarantee.

Demodex is a genetic disease of the skin. They don't prevent it and continue to breed sick puppies. I'm not the first person they have done this too. Do your research.

Hello there!
I'm Carolina Osorio from Bullcanes.net and today I come to this website because I think we have the right to defend ourselves from the bad things that some people are talking about us to discredit us.
We are a family kennel for 9 years and we are living and taking care our bulldogs!
We have been in the continuous quest to improve the breed and are always trying to improve and trying to learn more about this beautiful breed to be puppies that we raise healthier, sociable and loving.
It´s very important that each of the people who are thinking about buying a bulldog, be very aware that this race has been genetically modified for many years and this is the reason why they are special dogs and different from any other breed of dogs.
Each of you can read the story online and you can figure out by yourself because the bulldog are so special and you can understand the bad reviews about Bullcanes are part of the nature of this race.
Obviously sometimes we have wrong because we are human, but we remedied our mistakes.
Each of our puppies comes with a health guarantee, which every buyer knows and accepts before making the purchase, you can also read it at the following link: http://www.bullcanes.net/contract.pdf

In addition to this, if you want to talk to some of our buyers, you may write to us to ask ceo@bullcanes.net a list of some of them for you to see that we are honest and well

Remember that animals are living beings, not an object and they are like a human, need care and love to get to a new home, you can´t claim that a pet is more than just a household object

If you want more information about Bullcanes and our puppies, please write us to ceo@bullcanes.net

Thanks
Carolina Osorio

Not only is my Dog sick But they never answered my complaints. Carolina Osorio used to answer all my questions seconds after I pressed send but once she got the money it's been a nightmare to communicate. She is suddenly rude if she answers at all. My dog got to the airport 2 days after scheduled I she never answered me. It was horrible. Now that Rocky is sick 5 emails and more than 7 facebook messages have gone unanswered.
To add insult to injury my miniature Bulldog is not miniature at all . These people scam without shame or compassion. They don't love the dogs. Makes me wonder how they treat their live in money maker dogs if they are willing to send sick puppies around the world. Please don't buy from them. They are the definition of a puppy mill. Don't fall for the pretty website and cheap price. The whole thing get pretty expensive pretty fast with all the treatments your dog will need.

PLEASE ADD BULLCANE TO THIS SCAM/PUPPY MILL LIST.

I own a english bulldog myself and I love my dog like family.
all the signs show that Bullcane is nothing but a puppy mill.
google the place, their main objective is to "SELL" they have many sites such as twitter to youtubes advertising their pups.
people, if you're looking to purchase a English Bulldog please do your research first. I advise you all to look for local reputable breeders, don't be afraid to pay extra, because you get what you pay for.
bullcane sells more than just english bulldogs, they have dogs for sale just about every month year round. Most reputable breeders breed only once every other year.
WHEN YOU SUPPORT PLACES LIKE BULLCANE YOU'RE SUPPORTING ANIMAL CRUELTY.

My dog is sick and not a miniature. I just read from another bulldog owner that bought from them and I will perform a genetic test. Turns out he might not even be a pure bulldog. That's not surprising. These people are the worst of the worst.

Carolina Osorio is very nice at first and once you complain she is nasty, childish, repetitive and irresponsible. Good luck to you if you decide to do business with them.

This same exact thing happened to my puppy that I purchased from Bullcanes.net these people are obviously desperate because the price of their "English Bulldogs" have dropped ALOT! Their puppies don't even look like English Bulldogs anymore... PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM THESE SCAMMERS!

They are really good at selling and responding really fast while doing so but once you have a problem they are MIA. My dog is a bulldog pitbull mix, aggressive and hard to train. They deny this and won't refund the money. The guarantee is a joke. Please try to rescue before you buy and if you need to buy don't do it from them. Petfinder.com and save adog allow you to search by breed, sex and age. It's way cheaper.

Bullcanes and Carolina Osorio made what was suppossed to be a positive thing the worst experience of my life. It made me loose faith in people and honesty. I don't care how many pics of her daugther with a puppy they post don't fall for it like I did.

Thanks for the info. BTW my dog also has demodex (demodetic MANGE).

After my dog's vet suggested I do so we did a genetic test on the dog purchases from bullcanes.net. Turns out the reason why they can offer akc documents is that the puppies aren't pure. I paid 1, 900 for a mix! When I complained they never answered.

They were super nice at first but when the dogs have problems they just deny and hide. They are just dishonest even by puppy mill standards.

I want to make clear that this puppy has Demodex!
I'm Carolina Osorio, owner of bullcanes.
This puppy has a fungus on the skin moisture, anyone who has knowledge of this race, knows that the demodex always begins on the face of the puppy and puppies have very different symptoms.
We are sure that not a demodex for several reasons:
1. Symptoms that are presenting the puppy
2. The mother has had three previous litters of puppies and none has demodex, demodex is the genetic disease and is transmitted to all puppies. (No exceptions).
3. Litter that was born this puppy I have a puppy I still unsold, which I have with me, and whom he conducted medical tests and not have it.
4. two years since we are selecting all of our players and we have dogs certified as free of demodex

Avoiding problems, I have tried to negotiate with this person, but she wants me to send another puppy and keep the puppy that she has now ...
you think this is fair?
I offered to pay supesta treatment for illness, but she only wants to have an additional puppy dogs and keep two for the price of one.
This is not fair and then want to dirty our name now because they got a second puppy that she can not buy.

We are responsible people, but we can not accept being taken advantage of us.

We had to give some of our breeding females to avoid this problem, so we're so sure ...
