My husband and I are from Chicago, and purchased a bulldog from Omega Bullies a few months ago. The dog is now 6 months old, however we have only had him for about 3 months. In those short 3 months are dog got very sick with Demodex, and developed hair loss all over his body. We spoke with two veterinarians in Chicago that told us this condition was caused due to his weakened immune system, which is caused by the genetic makeup of the dog. We notified Tammy, the owner of Omega Bullies, and not only was she not sympathetic at all, but she also offered us no help or advice. We have now spent an extra $500 on our brand new puppy, and he's been sick basically for all three months that we've had him. Since then, we have done a lot of research on Omega Bullies, only to find out that she has numerous litters a month, making one believe she must be running some kind of puppy mill type business. We also found that she is not registered with the AKC, the Bulldog Club of America, or the Illinois Bulldog Breeders Association. When we called to report her, we were told that her business is not registered because she "mass produces dogs for sale." Ofcourse we never would have purchased a dog from her knowing all this before hand, because it's been an absolute nightmare dealing with her, dealing with a sick puppy, and now learning all the facts about her. Save yourself from making the same mistakes as we did, and do not purchase a bulldog from this irresponsible person who claims to be a reputable breeder!

I have gotten two puppies from Tammy, both males, and I have not had a single issue. Both are AKC registered, as well as their parents and ancestors (I have the extended pedigree). Tammy is actually AKC registered because you can find her website though AKC when searching for puppies. She has been right there for the past year to answer any questions I may have and is extremely helpful. As for her house being a "puppy mill" it is from it. I just picked up my second puppy and her house was spotless as usual and every living thing in that house is extremely well taken care of. She loves Bulldogs and that is quite apparent. The quality and temperament of my dogs is unmatched.

My husband and I purchased an English Bulldog puppy from Tammy as well on April 2014. When we received him we noticed that he sounded a little congested. Took him to the vet and he stated that he had a cold (no xrays were administered). A couple of weeks later we found our puppy grey and unable to breathe. I researched and found a vet who specialized in English Bulldogs who immediately recognized that he had trachea issues. An xray confirmed that he has Hypo plastic Trachea- which is a genetic disease. This is also something that is incurable. The Dr. advised that if our puppy lived to seven months that we would be lucky. There isn't a surgery for the trachea. But we did have surgery to the nares and soft palate to help with quality of life. We have been in contact with Tammy for the full year. I have sent all medical records, bills, Drs notes etc. Tammys response was very insensitive. Even though we have a health contract, she offered us $200.00. She also stated "none of my bullies ever had this disease". Well.this one clearly does. I thought that she was a caring and trustworthy person. But clearly she is not. Sadly...we have to proceed with litigation in order to receive fair treatment. Its much more too this story...but too much to type. Thank you

My family and I also researched high and dry for the best English Bulldog breeders. This was after we were turned down by the English Bulldog Rescue organization as they didn't us as a family fit to own these precious dogs. Tammy was nothing but kind to us, answered every question, invited us into her home, etc. Their home is beautiful, clean, and very spacious for these puppies. We even met one of Tammy's sons and he was so gentle and helpful with them. Not only did we get our first bulldog from Tammy, but were so happy with our decision we went back two weeks later for his brother from the same litter. All of their paperwork is legit, they've been extremely happy and healthy. I am grateful to say our two wonderful dogs are turning 4 on Thursday and we couldn't be happier with our decision. I would refer anyone to Tammy and her litters!

I'm just shocked of what I have read due to the fact that I got three of my bulldogs from Tammy. I live in Maine which is a significant distance from her . We searched the area where I live for a couple years and couldn't find a reputable family that raised bulldogs. When I stumbled across omega bullies I flew to meet her and her bulldogs so we could possibly get our future baby finally. When we arrived I was so happy of her facilities and she is so far from a puppy mill. She only raises the bulldogs and they are on tile floors which are very clean. She gives them the utmost care with no expense cut on them.. Since the first day of meeting her and her family I have since gotten three bulldogs from her and they have been great additions to our family. They are all three full akc registered with no health issues. I just wanted to post something about my experience because I thought this is so far from what I have encountered in dealing with her. I will be letting her know this is on here so she has a chance to respond to the situation. Thanks for your time, Cindy
