Our Reviews
Dani W.
We adopted our sweet Willow in December of 2023 from Bruiser Bulldogs after losing our frenchie due to severe health issues. We did lots and lots of research and one of the things we noticed was the love and care Erica and Mitch put into each one of their bulldogs and their litters, and their dedication to maintaining healthy happy bulldogs was enough for us to call. Here we are almost 2 years later and she’s the funniest, sweetest, athletic, most loyal, and more importantly, the HEALTHIEST bulldog we’ve ever met. Our vet has even said she’s never seen a healthier, cleaner English bulldog in all her years. We can’t wait to adopt our next one. 10/10, if you’re looking for a new addition to your family, Bruiser Bulldogs is the only way to go.

Bruiser Bulldogs breeds a well balanced bulldog with best breathing, hips and size. An overall healthy structure helps Bruiser Bulldogs enjoy their lives almost as much as we owners enjoy them. Owner of many over the years, our Johnny Legend is remarkably special.

Getting my Mason from Bruiser Bulldogs was one of the best decisions we've ever made! From the very beginning, the experience was professional, caring, and full of support. Our pup is not only adorable but also incredibly well-socialized, healthy, and full of personality. You can tell Bruiser Bulldogs puts real love and attention into their breeding program.
They were transparent, helpful, and answered all of our questions along the way. It’s clear they truly care about the well-being of their dogs—not just while they’re in their care, but for their whole lives.
Our bulldog has brought so much joy to our home and we constantly get compliments on how beautiful and sweet he is. If you're looking for a reputable, ethical, and loving breeder, we highly recommend Bruiser Bulldogs.
Thank you for helping us complete our family!

high quality, healthy bulldog ! Bruiser Bulldog is the Breeder to trust! They are responsible Breeders, who care about the long term health of their bulldogs. Their way of socializing and caring for their puppies is like no other. They exceeded our expectations with the quality of their dogs. Our Rocco who is now 11 and 1/2 has unbelievable temperament , very athletic built and breathing is nothing like any other bulldogs we have owned. He fit right into our lives and was the best addition to our family. We couldn’t be any happier with him!

A Forever Grateful Bulldog Mama
Our sweet girl Rizzo just turned 5, and not a day goes by that I don’t thank Bruiser Bulldogs for bringing her into our lives. From the moment we first connected with them, it was clear that this breeder wasn’t just about dogs, they’re about family.
Rizzo has been everything we hoped for in an English Bulldog — affectionate, loyal, goofy, and full of personality (and yes, snoring included!). She’s incredibly healthy, with strong genetics and a gentle temperament that makes her the perfect mix of cuddly companion and stubborn little queen.
Bruiser Bulldogs provided top-tier care, clear communication, and transparency throughout the adoption process. They truly raise their pups in a loving environment, and it shows in every wrinkle and wiggle of our Rizzo.
If you’re looking for a reputable, compassionate, and responsible bulldog breeder, one who genuinely puts the dogs first, Bruiser Bulldogs is it. Our family is better because of Rizzo, and we’ll forever be proud members of the Bruiser Bulldog family.

For anyone looking for a healthy, athletic, family bulldog, look no further. Bruiser Bulldogs are truly making this breed healthier and not breeding for the overly wrinkly unhealthy look. We have been so impressed with our Stella’s disposition and health and athleticism. Our vet has continued to be impressed with how healthy she is. No breathing issues whatsoever. She lives in Florida with our frenchie, boxer, and Scottish fold and is a great member of the pack. She is truly apart of the family and we couldn’t life without her. We will 100% get another bulldog from bruiser when we are ready for another one.

We have had our Bruiser Bulldog, Jackson for 5 years and he is the picture of health and personality! His breathing is wonderful. He is very athletic and is often mistaken for a puppy! He has no allergies or other common bulldog ailments. He is the best thing to happen to our family and we couldn’t love him more! My mom has his sister who is from the same liter and she is also extremely healthy! I could not recommend Bruiser Bulldogs enough if you want HEALTHY bulldogs! Thank you guys so much!
Gretchen D.
We love our Bruiser Bulldog Josh Allen. He is two and a half years old and loves being active and social. I always get compliments on how healthy and athletic he is. People are shocked when he races around the dog park or runs into Lake Michigan from the beach.
We are a certified dog therapy team and Josh is great with kids at schools. Super calm and doesn’t mind a lot of noise and action.
Highly recommend Bruiser if you have always dreamed of a bulldog like me!
Sam N.
We had an excellent experience with Bruiser! It was important to us to get a puppy from a loving and ethical breeder and we certainly found that with bruiser. We also appreciated all of the resources that they provided as well as the socializing they do with their puppies.
Our girl is a year old now and a very happy and healthy.

Hey guys, I wanted to thank you again for everything. Meredith has been an amazing addition to our family. She has been so good with being in her create and using the yard to go to the bathroom. Everywhere I bring her people melt over her. Best of all, she loves our kids and makes them so happy. if anyone in my town ever wants a bulldog, we will make sure it's from you guys. We also went to the vet yesterday and the appointment was great. She's perfectly healthy! If you ever buy a Bulldog, don't look anywhere else. Bruiser Bulldog is the absolute best! Thank you again!!!

We got our sweet babies from Bruisers Bulldogs 5 and 3 years ago. Our vet says they are the healthiest bulldogs he has ever seen. Winston and Gwen have brought nothing but pure joy to our lives since the day they each came home. We love them endlessly.
Jessica B.
We had such an amazing experience at Bruiser Bulldogs! They've been so friendly, responsive and helpful. We love that they breed English Bulls with their health as the main priority, not just their looks, that was the main reason we chose them. And we love our bull so much! He's such a good boy and is so well behaved, most of the time 😉
Kelly M.
I knew I wanted an English bulldog but had no experience or knowledge raising one. I am so thankful that in my google search of breeders, I came across Bruiser Bulldogs. In my research of getting to know the breed, I did find how they have so many ailments and a lot of breeders breed for the looks. When I read Bruiser Bulldogs mission of breeding for health, I KNEW they were the right people! We have had our Rosie Posie for a year and a half now and she is just the best. Erica still answers my questions (such as best joint supplements, and so on) and is so kind and gracious. When we first took Rosie to our vet, they said she was the best looking English bulldog they have seen. When they tested her blood, they also said they were amazed by how healthy her blood markers are. I am so grateful to Bruiser bulldogs and their mission. They will be part of our family and will always be who we go to when we get an English bulldog!
Caroline F.
Four years ago we got our first bulldog(Bailey-Elizabeth) from Mitch and Erica, they were so wonderful to deal with and so very knowledgeable about the breed. A year later we were blessed with her biological brother(Bentley/Timothy), we haven't had any health issues and our vet raves about how perfect they both are. They were both graduates of Ellie's School of Socialization. We are going to be getting another soon, we just love them so very much. Thank you Bruiser Bulldogs for making our family complete!!🥰Brian and Caroline Donnelly
Stacie F.
We patiently (not really!) waited for our little girl! It’s obvious Mitch and Erica have a passion for this breed, which is why we chose them as a breeder. They made the adoption process very easy and answered all of our questions. We got nothing but great feedback from her first vet visit. We are only 3 weeks in and cannot imagine life without her 💗💕 We wanted a puppy based on personality and Erica was spot on! We are so thankful for Mitch and Erica trusting us with one of their babies.
Leona M.
We made the trip from Nebraska to Indiana and it was absolutely worth it! Erica takes such care in matching puppies with families through her personality assessments. Our schnauzer is everything she predicted - calm, intelligent, and perfectly suited to our lifestyle. This is ethical breeding done right, and Erica's ongoing care for her puppies shows her true dedication.
Agnes P.
We made the journey from Nebraska to Indiana and it was the best decision! Erica's ethical breeding practices and thorough personality assessments ensured we got the perfect schnauzer for our family. Our boy is healthy, well-behaved, and has the most wonderful personality. The personal attention and care we received was exceptional.
Celestine M.
We drove from North Dakota all the way to Indiana to pick up our puppy and it was absolutely worth the trip! Erica spent so much time explaining each dog's personality and helping us choose the perfect match. Her dedication to ethical breeding practices is evident in everything she does. Our bulldog has exceeded all expectations and continues to amaze us with his wonderful temperament.
Leonard C.
We drove all the way from Wisconsin to Indiana and it was absolutely worth every mile! Erica's commitment to ethical breeding shines through in everything she does. Our puppy is healthy, happy, and exactly what we were hoping for. The personal attention was amazing.
Whitney C.
Quality from Bruiser Bulldogs! We flew from Augusta to Indiana to pick up our girl, Peach. Meeting the Wysong family and touring their home was worth every minute of travel. Peach is now 2 years old and the healthiest bulldog our vet has ever seen. She handles Georgia summers like a native and loves walks along the Riverwalk. Our Augusta vet clinic uses her as their example of ideal bulldog health. Bruiser Bulldogs sets the standard!
Amanda S.
Love our pup We drove from Huntington to Indiana to pick up our girl, Poppy. The trip from West Virginia was absolutely worth it to meet the Wysong family and see their exceptional breeding program. Poppy is now 2 years old and the healthiest bulldog in West Virginia! She handles our Ohio Valley weather perfectly and loves walks at Ritter Park. Our Huntington vet says she's a perfect example of what bulldogs should be - athletic and breathing freely. Best breeder we could have found!
Ashley C.
Bruiser Bulldogs Delivers on Every Promise! We flew from Fort Collins to Indiana to meet and pick up our Maximus. The experience at their home was eye-opening - seeing adult bulldogs running and playing without any breathing distress convinced us we'd found the right breeder. Max is now 2 years old and joins us on all our Colorado adventures. He handles both our hot summers and snowy winters like a champ. Our CSU vet students are always commenting on what a perfect example he is of a healthy bulldog. Already planning to get him a sister!
Katherine O.
Active Colorado Family Finds the Perfect Active Bulldog! Had our sweet Rosie delivered from Indiana to Boulder six months ago. As an active family who loves the outdoors, we needed a bulldog who could keep up - and Rosie absolutely does! The delivery was smooth and professional, with Rosie arriving happy and healthy. She's adapted beautifully to Boulder life, joining us on moderate hikes and loving the snow. Erica has been wonderful with continued guidance. If you want a bulldog who can actually enjoy Colorado's outdoor lifestyle, Bruiser Bulldogs is your answer!

Flawless Delivery Experience - Bear is Amazing! We had Bear delivered from Bruiser Bulldogs in Indiana to our home in Billings, and the experience was flawless! The delivery was so professional and caring. Bear arrived happy, healthy, and ready to explore Montana. He's now 13 months old and handles our extreme weather like a champion - from hot summers to frigid winters. Our vet here in Billings can't believe how well he breathes and moves. Erica's continued support has been incredible. Best decision we ever made!
Brian M.
Worth Every Mile - Moose is Incredible! Made the long drive from Missoula to Indiana to pick up our Moose, and every single mile was worth it. Meeting the Wysong family and seeing their breeding program in person gave us complete confidence. Moose is now 18 months old and thriving in Montana. He loves our outdoor adventures and has no trouble keeping up on hikes around Glacier National Park trails. The health and quality of Bruiser Bulldogs is unmatched. Already planning another trip for puppy number two!
Jan C.
In love with my Bruiser Bulldog We couldn't be more thrilled with our Bruiser Bulldog, Duke! Living in Los Angeles, we were initially concerned about finding a reputable breeder so far away, but after months of research, we knew Bruiser Bulldogs was the right choice. Erica arranged for their flight nanny to personally deliver Duke to us at LAX, and the entire process was seamless. Duke arrived happy, healthy, and already showing signs of the excellent socialization he received in their Indiana home. He's now 6 months old and has no trouble with our warm California weather - he breathes freely and loves our evening walks in Griffith Park. The ongoing support from Erica and Mitch has been invaluable. When we're ready for Duke's sibling, we won't hesitate to have another Bruiser Bulldog delivered to Los Angeles!
Jason S.
Bruiser Bulldogs We drove from Knoxville to Indiana to pick up our boy, Buddy. The trip from Tennessee was absolutely worth it to meet the Wysong family and see their exceptional breeding program. Buddy is now 2 years old and the healthiest bulldog in Tennessee! He handles our East Tennessee weather perfectly and loves walks at World's Fair Park. Our Knoxville vet says he's a perfect example of what bulldogs should be - athletic and breathing freely. Best breeder we could have found!
Anthony D.
Bruiser Bulldogs Changed Our Lives! We flew from Bridgeport to Indiana to pick up our boy, Rocky. Meeting the Wysong family and seeing their breeding program in person gave us complete confidence. Rocky is now 18 months old and the picture of health. He loves walks along Long Island Sound and handles Connecticut's weather changes like a champ. Our Fairfield County vet says he's the healthiest bulldog they've seen. Bruiser Bulldogs truly breeds for quality!
Ellen S.
Love our Bruiser Bulldog! After losing our previous bulldog to health complications, we spent over a year researching breeders who prioritize health above all else. That search led us from San Francisco to Bruiser Bulldogs in Indiana. We opted to fly out and pick up our boy, Winston, in person. Meeting Erica and Mitch at their home and seeing their breeding program firsthand gave us complete confidence in our decision. Winston is now 2 years old and thrives in the Bay Area climate - he can actually run and play without the breathing problems that plague so many bulldogs! Our vet here in San Francisco constantly comments on how healthy and well-built Winston is. The trip to Indiana was absolutely worth it for such a healthy, happy companion.
Jenna C.
Bruiser Bulldogs Changed Our Family! We made the trip to Indiana from Lansing eight months ago. The pickup process was seamless and professional. Bruno arrived as a confident, playful puppy who immediately fit into our family. He's adapted perfectly to Michigan's capital - no breathing issues despite our temperature swings. His energy and health continue to impress everyone at MSU's vet clinic. Erica from Bruiser Bulldogs has been wonderful with support. Couldn't ask for better!

Adoption Process for Our Indiana Adopters
Through years of experience we have developed a tried and true adoption process devoted to matching the correct puppy with their adopter family. We are strong advocates of thoroughly understanding the adopter family dynamic and preferences and guiding each family in the selection process. Successful adoptions are never accidents and ensuring the bulldog puppy and their family are compatible matches is essential.
Steps of Our Adoption Process
1. First Email and Then Verbal Interview – Questionnaires for adoption have served as the standard approach for dog breeders when evaluating potential adopters, but we’ve come to understand their weaknesses over the years. Most individuals seeking adoption, independent of their true appropriateness, can easily formulate the “right” answers on a written assessment. Proper assessment demands a more personal approach that extends beyond what any structured questionnaire can achieve. This is exactly why, as responsible English Bulldog breeders, we emphasize authentic conversations over the phone with our prospective families. During our exchange, we’ll investigate elements like your everyday schedule, home environment, previous animal ownership, and your vision for a companion to gauge if one of our Bruiser Bulldogs would thrive in your household.
2. Deposit – We require a non-refundable $500 deposit to join our wait list for the next English Bulldog puppy available.
3. Choosing your English Bulldog Puppy – When an adopter reaches the top of our wait list, we initiate the puppy selection process. Before making any decisions, we’ll provide photos of all available English Bulldog puppies along with detailed phone discussions about each pup’s unique temperament and characteristics (our personality assessment process is outlined below). We’ll guide you through each potential puppy’s special traits, behavioral patterns, and individual quirks, ensuring you understand their compatibility with your household dynamics. Although the final choice rests entirely with your family, we’re committed to supplying advice and support to build your selection confidence.
*English Bulldog Puppy Personality Assessment – Ensuring successful lifelong partnerships between our bulldogs and their families begins with temperament analysis of each puppy. We invest time observing individual behavioral patterns, social dynamics, and personality development through multiple evaluation sessions. This comprehensive evaluation process cannot be rushed and requires puppies to reach 4-5 weeks of age before we can accurately assess their distinct personalities. While some adopters prefer to select their puppy as early as 2 weeks old, we respectfully decline these requests. Early selection without proper temperament evaluation is counterproductive and can lead to mismatched pairings, as adopters would be choosing their English Bulldog companion without understanding their future pet’s true nature and needs.
4. Puppy Prep – After matching an adopter with one of our English Bulldog puppies, we begin our detailed puppy prep and training. Every adopter receives complete support training and guidance designed to facilitate the best possible transition and care for their new bulldog. For our Indiana adopters, we offer flexible arrangement options including our puppy delivery service, where a member of our family will bring your new pup directly to your home. Other adopters prefer to visit our home for pickup. While we love meeting our bulldog adopters, we understand that schedules can be hectic and delivery may work better for you. Through personal meetings or planning over the phone, we support every step of your bulldog adoption journey.
