Ordering a Puppy from Bulldog Bend

 

 
   
   

Al,

Tom Whipple's wife here, I wanted to say I was sorry that I couldn't make the trip up to Cadillac and meet you. Tom and the boys said you and our mother were absolutely wonderful and that you made them feel comfortable in their selection of our new puppy. They were also very complimentary of all your bulldogs. Hopefully the next time I am in your area I have time to stop and meet the two of you.   Jeannie, Michigan


Hey Al,

Things have finally started to settle down around the house the last week or so so I thought I would let you know how Crunch is doing. So far so good, he is adjusting well to the kids and the rest of the pets. I guess you could say he is establishing his "niche" in a hurry. He has such a sweet disposition and is so smart. We can't believe how much he has grown in such a short time!   Sal, Illinois


Greetings Sharon,

Glad to hear that your crazy week is finally over. I bet you were ready to catch up on some much needed rest. Greta has been great. She loves her crate already and sometimes we find her in there sleeping on her own. Amazing! Her favorite word besides her name seems to be "Cookie". It is funny to watch her come running (waddling is more like it) when she is about to get a treat.  I have already given your website to at least 10 other people when they ask me where I got her!   Roberta, Iowa


Al,

It's been 3 weeks since we picked up Little Louie. We have to say he has it all: looks, smarts, and a great sense of humor. He truly is a little clown and seems to enjoy keeping himself busy with all the toys we couldn't help buying for him. He also loves his short walks around the yard (except on cold mornings). We promise to send you an email in the future with some pics of all of us!   Joe, Michigan


Grandma Sharon,

Boris is doing great. He has already learned to sit down and walks on his leash pretty good as well - although it was an adventure at first. Here is a pic of him from a few days after we brought him home getting his first bath.  Jill, Michigan


Al,

Vito is getting bigger by the day and continues to charm everyone that gets to meet him. He is such a ham and loves to lay on his back when his friends show up to see him. What a little slug! He is the life of the party when he gets his vet check ups and almost shuts the place down as soon as we walk in.   Samantha, Ohio

   

Bulldog Bend ownership criteria:

   1. We only sell to people we have met or interviewed on the phone. Our goal is to place our bulldog puppies in the best possible homes we can find.

   2. We will not sell to Wholesale Agencies, Pet Stores, Brokers, Frat Houses, or Breeders deemed as Puppy Mills!

   3. We sell our bulldog puppies to responsible homeowners whose intent is to keep their bulldog inside as a house pet and treat it as part of the family. Yearly veterinarian visits and vaccinations are part of being a responsible bulldog owner.

   4. All persons purchasing puppies must live a lifestyle that would agree with the bulldog - Leaving a dog alone (expecially an english bulldog) for several days is not acceptable. Purchasing an english bulldog primarily for the sake of breeding (not loving) is not acceptable.

Pricing

Our bulldog puppies range from $1,700 to $3,000. All puppies listed on the puppies page will have a price listing next to their picture. Pricing will be determined by sex, show potential and whether puppy comes from European Champion Bloodlines, our own established champion bloodlines, or if they are champion sired by us or our affiliated kennels. All prices are firm and non negotiable. We do accept deposits and monthly payments on future puppies.  All puppies must be paid in full before they are taken to their new homes.

Deposits

Deposits will be accepted when the puppy is at least 2 weeks old. The minimum deposit is $500.00. Deposits are non-refundable from the buyers perspective with the exception of any money deposited over $500.00. The initial deposit of $500.00 will be held for another puppy or a future puppy for you.

The full deposit will be returned only for the following reasons - 1) At any time we decide not to sell the puppy as it is determined that the welfare of the puppy would best not be sold to buyer 2) Another legitimate reason presents itself in which we decide not to sell the puppy to the buyer 3) The puppy cannot be sold due to serious illness or death

Payment

We DO NOT accept personal checks! We ACCEPT cashiers checks, cash, western union, certified bank checks, postal money orders, and Visa/Mastercard. If you speak to us and you agree to purchase the puppy, you must agree to send an overnight priority Postal Money Order (minimum $500 deposit) to us within 48 hours, we will then place the puppy on reserve for you until we receive the deposit payment. If we do not receive the deposit within 48 hrs, the puppy goes back up for sale. Full payment of the puppy is due when the puppy reaches 8 weeks of age or at time of pickup. 

Shipping

If you live to far away to personally pick up your puppy we can ship the puppy to the nearest major airport in your region of the country. All shipping costs are paid by the buyer. We charge a flat rate of $350 for shipping (during warmer months - May thru September the price may be higher in order to VIP the puppy). Shipping is only performed within the continental United States only (unless you contact us for additional costs). All shipping is on performed through direct flights - meaning puppies do not change planes during travel. All prices include a shipping kennel and a required USDA Veterinarian Health Certificate obtained prior to shipping. Shipping is arranged through American, Northwest or Delta Airlines. Only major airports that support live animal shipments are accepted for transport. We do not ship where originating and arrival airport temperatures exceed 70 degrees Fahrenheit at times of departure, therefore, shipments can only be done early in the morning when this case applies. During these warmer climates we reserve the right to ship at a schedule that permits us to ship the puppy.

Under no circumstances will we ever ground ship a puppy! If you wish to drive and meet us we can meet you half way by car (no more than a 4 hour drive for us in one direction) for a fee of $150.

Directions to Bulldog Bend

Please feel free to call or email us if you would like to visit or pick up your puppy at Bulldog Bend. We appreciate all visitors to contact us prior to their arrival to ensure that we are here to meet you.

Our Puppies

We breed our own puppies in our own heated and air conditioned kennels specifically designed for this purpose. All breedings are planned accordingly to improve the breed and performed in a clean environment using the safest techniques available.  We never breed any of our dogs until they reach 18 months of age. We do this for health reasons to the breed. We have acquired some of the finest bloodlines in the world (both from the USA and Europe where the breed originated and has a longer history). Working closely with other kennels we only breed our females to AKC Champion Sired males and do so very selectively.

All puppies come with full AKC Registration papers , a 6 month Health Guarantee and Vaccination Record (All puppies are vaccinated 6 wks and 8 wks of age).

It takes quite a considerable amount of time and effort to raise a litter of bulldog puppies. To say the least it is a lot of hard work but work that we are very proud of. We love all of our adults and each puppy very much so we strive to place them in homes where they will receive only the best in care and plenty of attention.
