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 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.

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.

Bruiser Bulldog Review Had our sweet Luna delivered from Bruiser Bulldogs to Brooklyn eight months ago. The delivery to New York was seamless and professional. Luna arrived as a confident, playful puppy who immediately fit into our brownstone life. She's thriving in New York - no breathing issues despite our urban environment. She loves playing at Prospect Park! Erica from Bruiser Bulldogs has been amazing with continued support. Best decision ever!
Maria S.
Bruiser Bulldogs and the Wysongs We drove from Rochester to Indiana to pick up our girl, Bella. The trip from New York was absolutely worth it to meet the Wysong family and see their incredible breeding program. Bella is now 2 years old and the healthiest bulldog in New York! She handles our upstate winters like a champ and loves walks along the Genesee River. Our Rochester vet says she's exceptional. Bruiser Bulldogs produces champions!
Kathleen O.
We Love Our Bruiser Bulldogs Baby! We had our Winston delivered from Bruiser Bulldogs to our home in Syracuse last year. The entire New York delivery experience was exceptional - professional service and a perfectly healthy, well-socialized puppy. Winston is now 13 months old and thriving in Central New York. He breathes beautifully, loves playing at Onondaga Lake Park, and handles our New York winters better than we do! Our Syracuse vet always comments on his excellent structure. We recommend Bruiser Bulldogs to all our New York friends!
Rachel G.
Bruiser Bulldogs pups - healthy, happy! We had our Duke delivered from Bruiser Bulldogs to our home in NYC, and he's been absolutely amazing! The delivery was professional and Duke arrived as a happy, healthy puppy. He's now 10 months old and thriving in New York City life. Despite our hot summers and slushy winters, he breathes perfectly and loves walks in Central Park. Our New York vet on the Upper West Side is blown away by his health. Erica's ongoing support has been incredible - Bruiser Bulldogs truly delivers excellence!
Darrin W.
Thank You Bruiser Bulldogs for Our Perfect Boy! Living in Buffalo, we researched extensively before choosing Bruiser Bulldogs. We had Tank delivered to our New York home, and he's exceeded every expectation! The delivery was smooth and Tank arrived perfectly socialized. At 9 months old, he's wonderful - breathing freely even during New York's lake effect snow, playing endlessly at Delaware Park. The continued guidance from Bruiser Bulldogs has been invaluable. Perfect for our Western New York lifestyle!

Adoption Process for Our New York 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 approach for conscientious dog breeders to screen prospective adopters, yet we’ve recognized their limitations over time. Most hopeful adopters, independent of their true compatibility, can effortlessly produce the “correct” answers on a document. Authentic evaluation demands a more individualized approach that goes beyond what any structured questionnaire can achieve. This is precisely why, as English Bulldog breeders, we value personal phone calls with our prospective families. During our chat, we’ll cover areas such as your everyday schedule, home environment, previous animal experience, and your expectations for a pet to assess if one of our Bruiser Bulldogs would flourish 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 addition’s personality traits, habits, and individual features, ensuring you grasp their potential integration into your household dynamics. Though the choice remains entirely in your control, we’re committed to delivering professional support and wisdom to ensure your confidence in the selection.
*English Bulldog Puppy Personality Assessment – Successful family-puppy matches require thorough personality evaluation of each bulldog’s individual characteristics and behavioral patterns. We invest considerable time in behavioral assessment, observing each puppy’s natural expressions, social preferences, and temperament markers. 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 – Once we have successfully matched an adopter with one of our English Bulldog puppies, we transition into our comprehensive puppy readiness and education phase. All adopters receive detailed support training and preparation guidance designed to facilitate the best possible start for their Empire State bulldog. For our New York 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. Alternatively, many adopters prefer to visit our home for pickup, providing opportunities for thorough discussions about diverse climate zones and seasonal care requirements from the Adirondacks to Long Island. We understand New York’s varied weather patterns and urban considerations that affect bulldog ownership decisions. Through personal consultations or comprehensive phone support, we ensure every New York family feels confident and well-prepared.
