Hi My name is Lisa I live in new york, we purchased an english bulldog puppy from Bulldogsrus and hes a mini he only grew 35 pounds and his name is Charlie, hes 12 months old and hes never been ill, so i have to tell you I really disagree as I met Robin her kids and her husband and she seems very lovely. Just wanted to let you know about our experience it went great sorry to hear about yours!
