These breeders pride themselves in their ads of high quality English Bulldogs and having very little dogs all raised in the home. What a bunch of liars. Yes only 3 females, that are bred over and over again back to back to back... never a break betweeen all their c -sections. I have done much research on buldogs. Their suggested breeding age is 18 months, now I see they have puppies coming from a female less than one year old. I WENT TO THEIR HOUSE TO SEE THE PUPPIES, ONLY DOG LIVING IN THE HOUSE WAS THE MALE. ALL FEMALES LIVED OUT IN A SHED. IT WAS OVER 80 DEGREES F AND NO AIR CONDITIONING. Quality where? Backyard breeders at its best! Don't even know their dog's pedigrees! All females had long noses, looked like mix breeds or old english. Yet there are people who are dumb enough to buy from them and are totally ignorant to the fact that these dogs live in conditions NOT suitable fore english bulldogs and apparently don't realize they are buying low quality. It is odd that they are having 6-8 litters a year with 3 females every single year...they ARE BREEDING MACHINES TO THEM. Greed at its best at the expense of the dogs. I would much rather buy from someone who has more dogs with better quality and actually care for their dogs without overbreeding them. Which I have visited a few and the care and respect for their dogs far exceeded this poor excuse for a breeder.

Now they send a message claiming to ask any breeder, english bulldogs have ONLY one heat a year to breed. I have asked OVER A DOZEN and they ALL say average is every 6 months... so another lie after lie.

Claim to caring breeder with only a few breeding females, usually 3. Females are bred back to back to back, . Never given a break. If they feel the need for so many breedings, it would really be best to get a few more females than breed the s**t out of the ones they have. They claim top quality, while all their females look like oldes. They claim they are all home raised, yet when I went to their place, it was over 80 defgrees F and all females lived out in un air conditioned shed? REALLY? What a joke, they also said we could take puppy home at 5-6 weeks of age... not even legal. I would much rather buy from an honest breeder with real quality who has more dogs, I have seen several that provide better quality care than these people. Makes me sick people are dumb enough to get puppies from these people, who staight out lie.

They are very nice people but the dogs more than likely will be contaminated with Giardia. They have a giardia issue at there breeding facility and rather than controlling the issue they are electing to continue to breed. We let them know about the giardia right away they have never checked back to see if it was better. I truly don't believe they cared after they received the money. We're now over $2, 000 into vet bills and fighting an issue that is very hard to control. Buyer discretion is advised.

I have seen nothing but 5 star reviews from this company. They have several bullies living in their home, including olde english, short english and french bulldogs. I know people in Oregon that have pups from them. There is not one review under 5 stars and all their breeds of bullies are beautiful. No health issues and everyone I have heard from are very happy with them. I suppose you always have to have someone complaining about something... lol. MAYBE THEY ARE JUST NOT EDUCATED or just plain bored.

Really? Do you know them? Have you visited their home? You say they have several different breeds living IN their home? I live near there and I love English Bulldogs. I also have spoken with a lot of people who have gotten their puppies there and it is heartbreaking! They totally fall in love with them but say hey never would have gotten their "bargain Bully" from them because it has added up in a LOT of vet bills and they are constantly at the vet. That is not healthy! They also often breed for the fad colors and that just leaves a possibility for more health and temperament problems. I have heard of them breeding at around 6-7 month old dogs and that is terrible and leaves it open to more health problems for the puppies and for the dam (the mother has not even had proper bone growth or enough maturity by then). The AKC recommends the age of 2 and above. You talk about people maybe not being that educated or just plain bored, but I am wondering where you got all this information on their healthy and beautiful bullies with no health issues. All Bulldogs are cute, there is just something about them. That doesn't mean that they are being bred for conformation and the betterment of the breed! And English Bulldogs need all the help they can get from very knowledgeable breeders who are putting 110% into it! In case you are wondering, I ask everyone I see with an English Bulldog (and some of theirs do not look like purebred), and that is where I have gotten my information over the last several years. It makes me sick when I see unethical breeders. I wish everyone would do their researching before buying. It would run the backyard breeders out of business. The saddest part is the cute little bully babies who have to go through all the health problems and the loving families that get heartbroken!

They have a Facebook page and I have been contacting many breeders about getting a bulldog puppy in the future. I have a set list of questions that I ask (How often do you have litters, what is the bloodline, is there a waitlist, how much are they, do you have the proper paperwork, etc.) and in MBR's reply, they were vert stand-offish and never answered ANY of my questions. Which, was very fishy to me because any reputable breeder will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about their bulldogs.
I also found it strange how every week they are posting pictures of puppies for that were for sale. Most breeders will have one litter every year or even one every two years. And they sell their puppies for a considerably cheaper amount (averaging around $1, 500) than the going rate for a pure bred bulldog which is around $2, 500 or higher. It sickens me that people choose to buy puppies from somewhere like this just because they are cheaper puppies.

I personally do not know the breeders or ever been to their place, but will shed some light on those who are uneducated on breeding bulldogs. Almost any reproductive specialist will tell you once you start to breed bulldogs it is better to do a back to back breeding since bulldogs are prone to pyometra. Bulldogs have a short reproductive system, therefore are prone to getting bacteria in the uterine during a heat cycle, and for some reason breeding them keeps their reproductive system in better health and less like to get pyo. Pyo is a uterine infection that is deadly and most times the dogs have to be spayed. Most breeders will do at least one back to back and then skip a cycle, but are a few who do not skip at all. Most bulldogs will only have 2-4 litters depending on the condition of their uterus and the breeder. As for age of breeding, will vary too from breeder to breeder but should at minimum be 2nd heat, never 1st heat if under 15 months. I have nothing to say about the rest of the claims, because like I said, I am unfamiliar with how the dogs are raised.
