Our Reviews

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.
Collyn N.
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 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.

Couldn't Be Happier with Our Choice! We had our Duke delivered from Bruiser Bulldogs to our home in Milwaukee, and he's been absolutely amazing!

Thank You Bruiser Bulldogs for Our Perfect Rosie! Living in Grand Rapids, we researched extensively before choosing Bruiser Bulldogs. We drove to the Wysong home, and she exceeded all expectations!

The continued guidance from Bruiser Bulldogs has been invaluable. Best decision we ever made!

Bruiser Bulldogs is the Gold Standard! We drove from Ann Arbor to Indiana to pick up our girl, Luna. Being just a couple hours away made it an easy trip, and meeting the Wysong family was wonderful.

Adoption Process for Our Michigan 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 – Traditional adoption questionnaires have represented the primary tool for ethical dog breeders to evaluate prospective adopters, but we’ve recognized their restrictions over time. Most applicants, whether actually appropriate or not, can effortlessly produce the “correct” answers on paper. Authentic evaluation necessitates a more individualized approach that transcends what any standardized questionnaire can capture. This is exactly why, as responsible English Bulldog breeders, we value direct phone discussions with our prospective families. During our chat, we’ll cover topics like your daily activities, family atmosphere, past animal companionship, and your expectations for a furry friend to assess if one of our Bruiser Bulldogs would thrive under your supervision.
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 will describe each potential puppy’s personality traits, habits, and individual features, ensuring you grasp their potential integration into your lifestyle. Because the choice remains entirely in your control, we’re committed to delivering knowledgeable support and wisdom to ensure your confidence in the selection.
*English Bulldog Puppy Personality Assessment – To ensure lifelong happiness for both bulldogs and their adopting families, we must thoroughly understand each puppy’s unique personality profile. This involves detailed behavioral analysis, careful observation of temperament traits, and evaluation of individual characteristics. 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 transition into our detailed puppy prep and training. Every adopter receives complete support resources and guidance designed to ensure the smoothest possible adjustment for your new bulldog companion. For our Michigan 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 to see our bulldog adopters in person, we also understand busy schedules and can discuss the best fit through a phone call. Through face-to-face meetings or comprehensive phone planning, we maintain our commitment to helping your family thrive with your new puppy.
