They sale english bulldog puppies. The pictures shown are of puppies that look scared and are being made to sit on a crate or pet taxi. They look like that's what they leave them in. Please someone check in on this.

This is slanderous, this person obviously had some bad encounter. I have nothing but great things to say about this breeder. The bulldogs are some of the highest quality I have seen and with the fewest health problems. This is a false report probably by a rival breeder.

I am the owner of Layla above and now she has been diagnosed with autism, in top of being half French and half English. She's a backyard bred dog. Love her to death, but she is backyard bred. Luckily she hasn't had any other health issues other than allergies. When we got her as a puppy she was malnourished and not well taken care of. Breeder said I could return her but heck no! I already loved her and I know he would have euthanized her. This breeder should be SHUT DOWN.

My boyfriend"s parents got a French bulldog from Shannon Williams in December 2013. He was born in September. Shannon agreed to meet them in Birmingham as they were driving up from Florida. When they arrived at the meeting place, all he had was the dog. No papers, no crate, no nothing. They went ahead and took the dog taking Shannon for his word that he would mail the papers. It's been 14 months since they got the dog and still no papers. We have called and texted several times and each time he had a new excuse. He will no longer accept our calls or respond to text messages. We love our little "frenchie" and cant imagine life without him but it would be nice to know how he is breed.

Southernbelle711, Layla was supposedly registered with the NKC, not the AKC...this should have been our first "flag" that he is simply a BACKYARD BREEDER...

My daughter and son in law purchased an English Bulldog from this breeder. After about 2 months, Layla's right ear began to stick up. More and more she was looking like a French, not an English bulldog. They asked this breeder about this and even sent him a picture of her and his response was "looks like my French Bulldog got with my English Bulldog". He agreed that the "registered" puppy that he sold my daughter wasn't registered after all and only offered to refund 300.00. He stated that he put a check in the mail LAST Monday (about 10 days ago). Of course, she hasn't received the check and it probably was NEVER MAILED! This breeder SCAMS his clients and the buyer should BEWARE! And, honestly, after speaking with "reputable" breeders, NON of his dogs are quality English Bulldogs! DON'T PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS CROOK!

Keep me posted. I'd like to know if it's even possible to do anything about it.

I am in the same boat. We purchased our bulldog October 2013 and still have not received her papers. He won't return our calls and when I e-mailed him, he said he would call me. He never did though. I then sent him an e-mail telling him he had 24 hours to contact me but never got a reply. That's when I decided to do something. I contacted a lawyer and the AKC breeding place. They are doing an investigation on him. They have told me he never registered any puppies in October of 2013. I got cheated. I'm now going to take him to court. Thank goodness I saved everything and we did more investigation on him. He's a con artist that rips people off and u less people take a stand and also take him to court, he will keep doing this. He should have answered my phone calls and given me some papers or tried to make it right.

I wish I found this site before I made my purchase with him. This guy is some class act. Will not return phone calls, emails, text messages. And when you do get him on the phone it's excuse after excuse. It's been over a year and I'm still trying to get my papers. Having a lot of the same issues as others have posted. I would avoid this buyer at all cost.

I purchased a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel from them two years ago. She has always been VERY timid which has made me wonder what her environment was like. Her baby pictures looked perfect but as she has grown up her face looks much different than a typical cavalier and her fur is different. I LOVE her and she is super sweet but definitely not the typical cavalier. The breeder told me should would be small, 10-12 lbs and she is 15 lbs. She is a nice size regardless but definitely NOT what was advertised. I also have never received papers for her. I am not interested in breeding her and got her fixed but it would be nice to have them. I contacted the breeder and sent pictures but since I picked her up at the airport, I have never heard back from him. This makes me very suspicious as I have purchased from breeders before and they LOVE to see pics of the pups they bread and get updates. This breeder has never even responded nor sent me the papers. I wouldn't buy a dog from them!

There's not enough bad things to say about this person. I'm not sure he is the breeder or gets them from another country. I also purchased a puppy from him. After a year he still could not produce any papers or registration on her. He kept making excuses after excuses. I paid him $3000 for what appears to be a mixed breed. She was a cute puppy, but as she grew it became pretty obvious she was not all bulldog or was of very poor quality. This guy is a crook, a liar and a real ###.

dogsisadisgrace- You claim that you knew your EB had health problems when you got him, so why purchase a sick puppy?

Uhh I actually own an English Bulldog from this company and I totally agree with the whole terrible company statement 100%. My EB was very ill when I got him and the owner of this comany was VERY VERY ignorant about the situation. I love my EB and he is an amazing boy but he has always been an extremly nervous dog and when I look at pictures that Hoilday Bulldogs post of their for sale pups it breaks my heart. My EB has had many many many health problems that are due to poor breeding, even my vet cannot believe how such poor breeding can be done. My EB is a beautiful dog and good temperment and loving but the life he has had has been hard from all of his health problems and its never going to go away for him. I think people need to stop supporting this ### breeder and stop encouraging him to breed such sick dogs. I do not regret ever getting a pup from him because my EB is my world but I just wish the owner had more morals and class about his buisness and cared about what he was creating in a life. I dont know how this man can sleep at night knowing he is breeding sick dogs. He needs to get a new hobby one that doesnt affect poor innocent animals and pet owners... just himself because he is a [censored].

Are you serious? In regards to the top comment, that is probably the most ridiculous statement I have ever read. Where would you like the dogs /puppies kept? Have you ever been to their site? Purchased a puppy from them? Probably not, or you would know that they are a reputable dog breeder, and that their puppies are well looked after. We purchased a female puppy, last year from them, and have had zero problems with them and or their methods of caring for puppies. In fact we are in the process of purchasing another one from them. So please before you comment on the methods and procedures of a dog breeder have something more concrete to base your personal opinions on.

Holiday bulldogs is a very professional company selling top quality bulldogs! They don't keep them in pet crate. They are not scared they are just puppies. Not ever company selling puppies hires a photographer to take professional pictures! I purchased a puppy from them and it is so wonderful and loving and have also purchased another from them.Great company!
