Hello, Sandy

I wanted to let you know that it has been 7 years since we came down and picked up Otis. He is doing great and loves playing with our two daughters and son. I have attached a couple pictures. We want to get another Bulldog so Otis can have a new buddy to play with. I will call you to see when we can come down to pick out our new baby. Thank you and we would never consider getting another Bulldog from any other breeder. Otis has not had any health issues and is a great dog.

Thanks, The Lander Family

Hi Mike and Sandy,
 
Just a quick update on our best boy, Tank. Here’s a shot of him on our latest camping trip – caught him in mid-scratch! He LOVES going camping – although his snoring seems even louder when we’re all in the RV together! As always, he makes friends where ever he goes and people come by our campsite just to meet “Tank the Bulldog!”
 
Regards,
The Hamel Family

Hi Sandy,  We just wanted to update you on Meatball.  We picked him up on June 29,2008.  Since the day we brought him home, he has made our family extremely happy!!!   Has a great personality and is great with my children.  He is a bit of a comedian. There is not one day that he doesn't make us laugh.  He has grown so much in the past few weeks. He is very popular where ever we take him!! Especially on our block, everyone is full of compliments when he goes outside with us. He loves to sit on the front steps of our house with us and roll around on the grass. We love him so much, and are so happy that he is a part of family. We will keep you updated on Meatball as he continues to grows.
Thank You,
The Russello Family  

Dearest Sandy,  We just wanted to update you and thank you from our hearts for the most wonderful thing that has ever came into our lives.  Tank will be 8 mo. in Aug.  He is the most precious thing....he's smart, funny, and the most loveable person we know....and I do say 'person', cuz he would beg to differ if you called him a dog!!!  We took him to the beach for the 4th of July and he was absolutely the talk of the town.  It took us hours to walk the boardwalk, because we had to stop every 2 min. so everyone could pet and comment us on the cutest dog they ever saw!  Here are some pictures from the 4th and a few of him ruleing the roost. Oh, and did I mention, he loves to lounge around as much as he loves to play...with his big blue ball.

 Thanks again for our bundle of joy!  The Slocum's

Hi Sandy    Here are pictures of the first Chirstmas  (December 2007) my sons and I enjoyed with  Princess at age 7 months and Sebastian at age 4 months. My husband is due back from Afghanistant next month and can't waite to meet these new family members! As of today April 30th at 8 months Sebastian has tripled in size and is very cute and is a great guard dog but princess is still petite and even more beautiful but very dominant.  Princess for some reason despite her size is very influential and keeps Sebastian in line and often time he will drop food he is eating or a toy he has at her demand for these things.  Regards, Gwen Lindsay-Jackson,Esq.

Sandy,  Attached is a picture of our two precious angels - Ginger Mae (6) and Rosemary Lou (3 1/2) that we adopted from you.  They are the best and have been featured in our local paper.  They LOVE going to the vet and often run into the door trying to get in.  The vet says they are the healthiest, most loving bulldogs he has ever met.  Thank you for bringing them into our life.  Tracy and Chris Ryan Clifton Park, NY PS  We met Ginger's litter mate Hazel.  The people that own her live close by

Hello Sandy, Gotti is almost four years old now and I wanted to let you know the little man is doing very well.  We are not back up in CT and for him a nice change, he gets to play in the snow a bunch more.  He loves running around and playing and without a doubt keeps me busy.  I want to offer my gratitude, Gotti is my best friend and well-liked by all who he meets. Take Care, Jim Crozier

Hello, Just wanted to thank you again for our new addition...our house's laughter meter has spiked!!!!!  Happy Easter  Amy, Luke and RJ

Sandy, Sorry it took so long to get back to you.  Tank is keeping us busy and is just a pleasure to have.  We love him so much.  I have attached a few pictures for you.  I think he really  likes it here and is already making it clear that he believes he runs things around here!! I'll send more pix later.  Thanks, Gina and Kevin

Dear Sandy, I wanted to give you an update on "Don Bosco".  We picked him up in December of 2006, he is an absolute joy, extremely friendly, and loves to play. He loves the attention he receives when he is out on his walks.  I can not thank you enough for the awesome bullie we received from you.  Best Regards, Charlie & Barbara Trigo

Hi Sandy,
 We just wanted to let you know that Tazer and Arabella are doing well.  They our the loves of our lives.  They are coming up on their 1 year birthday.  We received them from you 7 months ago.They love all the snow we have been getting lately, they cant get enough of chasing each other through the snow.  They are loveable and have totally differant personalities.  We love them completely!!!  Maybe someday we will add another to the family.  TAzer loves to eat and bella girl well she just loves to sleep.. They are both lap dogs and think they are light as feathers when the two jump up on your lap and lay on top of each other on you. The Baldis Clan Barkhamsted Ct

Hi Sandy!! 
 We got our little Vinnie Boom Bahtz from you at Christmas time 2007. HE IS ABSOLUTELY THE LOVE OF OUR LIVES!! We wanted to send you some pictures of him, he's almost 5 months old already!! He is such a good little boy, and so smart. He's the definition of a Frenchie..."Clown in the robe of a philosopher" He does very well in our apartment. He thinks, well to be honest, KNOWS that he's our child, and spoiled rotten beyond repair. He is completely baffled if someone walks by without saying hello to him. His best friend is my parent's Rottweiler puppy. Nelli Marie is about 75 pounds, and plays with Vinnie like he's her baby. We could not be happier, and say all the time that he's the gift that keeps on giving. He's the perfect addition to our family. We plan to get some family pictures taken soon, we'll pass those along when we get them as well. Just wanted to touch base with you and tell you thank you so much for this wonderful little angel. I couldn't be happier with him!Thanks Sandy! Stephanie and Michael Di Stasio

 

Hello,  Just dropping an email to share pics of my bully from Iris Farms.  His birthday is today and he is now a big boy at three years of age.  I wanted to say that he is an awesome dog and my best friend.  :-)  I enjoy everyday with him and it is such a pleasure.  Beans is still a love bug, loves to learn and play.  Thank you so much for such a wonderful bully! Sincerely,Nicole Maguire Malden, MA        P.S.I am attaching a pic of him alone and one with his adopted sister Babycakes (white spotted bully, who needed a home) and his cousin Mugsy (white and tannish brindle, also from Iris Farms!). The last pic, is with his pug brother and best buddy, Frank

 

Hi Sandy!  I just realized that we still haven’t sent you pictures of Gertrude and she is now over 13 months old!  Attached are a few of our favorite pictures.  She is the greatest dog in the whole world and we are beyond obsessed with her! She makes us laugh everyday and makes everyone who meets her smile. She loves all of the snow we have been getting in Maine...she runs around and rolls in it until she looks like a little snow man.  We haven’t told her yet that she’s not a Husky. I think the world would be a much happier place if there were more bulldogs in it. Thanks again for giving us our dream dog.  We couldn’t ask for more.  Hopefully we will be back to get Gertrude a brother or sister soon!  Meghan and Ben

Just thought you would like to see the updates of Oliver and Winston.   They get along wonderfully.It's hard to believe that Oliver is five months old.John and Roseann, Mantoloking, New Jersey

 

Hi Sandy, Thought that you would enjoy one of the pics of EllieMae's pups. She has already won a photo contest and is in running for another. As soon as I get a chance I will send some more pics of the pups. We just love our Ellie and are so glad that we found you. She sure does have beautiful pups and we so enjoyed having them. Cathy Fayette Rodman, NY

 

Hi Sandy: Chomper wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  It was the weekend before Christmas Eve last year that we picked him up from Iris Farms.  It has been quite a year with our new addition.  He is the best and everyone in the neighborhood can’t get enough of him.  He is such a showstopper that if we dare to bring him to the pet store there is always a line of people waiting to meet him.  He’s so accustomed to all the attention that if people do not acknowledge him he is completely bewildered.  Thank you so much for Chomper- he’s the best thing that could have ever came into our lives! 

 We hope you enjoy this picture of Chomper “Our Grinch”!Best wishes for a Happy New Year! Jennifer M. Petralito

Hello Sandy,My name is moriah, and my husband Jason and I bought a girl bully from you in the fall of'05. We named her Riley, and she's the perfect dog for us. Eager to
please, easy to train- She even knows "spit it out" and rings a bell when she has to go potty (or wants fresh water, a snack, or attention). She charms
everyone she meets, even non-dog lovers. She goes with us everywhere, as you can see in the pictures- nature walks,camping(she has her very own sleeping
bag), road trips, and when she gets tuckered out she gets to rest in the comfort of her red wagon. Spoiled girl. Thank you so much for our pride and joy, Sincerly,
Moriah P. - CT

 

Hi Sandy, We just love our little Sebastian to peices, who's exactly 1 year and 8 months old today!  He has the sweetest temperament and is also a little comedian.  It takes us forever to walk just one block on the sidewalk with him because everyone stops us to tell us how adorable he is!  We couldn't be happier to have him as a part of our family. 

Happy Holidays to you! Gina & Brian

Hi Sandy and Mike! Here is the picture of Buddy, the Red Nosed Reindog!  Enjoy the holidays!  Elaine Laux

 

Hi Sandy and Mike,  Here’s Tank in all his Christmas festive-ness! Always the gentleman, he put on his Christmas best for this holiday photo. We took him home from Iris Farms back in April of 2006. Nearly 3 years old now, he is still very much a baby. Everyone loves him and he loves everyone right back. Merry Christmas to you and the entire family at Iris Farms!  Cheers,Sue, Scott and Ben  Bloomingburg, NY

Hello Sandy and Mike,  Princess is a real doll.   She cheers up the soldiers in Afghanistan deployed with my husband with her photos.   Here she is in her camoflauge outfit with rucksack at 4 months old.

Hi Sandy, This is Brosco and Loba we got from you in December of 2006,  We look at the pics of all the bulldogs and we want to be added  to the bullldogs people got from you.   They are a joy and were so glad that we got them from you.  We look on your site often to see all the new puppies.  From Upstate NY. Fran & Robert

Hello,We just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you.  Hercules was born on October 27, 2005 and we took him home in December.  We simply love him to pieces and spoil him.  He is the best thing that has ever happened to us.  He is so sweet and loving. On Friday, we met another couple who adopted a 6 month bully from you and we were both simply raving.  We plan on having a play date.Thanks for bringing Hercules into our lives.Beth, Stan and Hercules

 

Hey Sandy , Its Peter Gusmano and Lorna Brodigan Tony is doing wonderful.  We simply love him...perhaps we can make it to your wall of fame on your site.

Peter and Lorna, Merrick NY

Hi Sandy,
I am emailing to say that Mr. Beans is doing great.  He recently turned two in February and is now a very big boy! ;)  He is completely awesome and we love him to pieces.  Beans is very lovable, cuddley and laid back.  He has been joined by his younger pug brother Frank and recently his younger adopted/rescued bulldog sister; he loves them all.  I am attaching some updated pictures.  Thanks for giving us such a great dog!  Cheers,Nicole & Jim Malden, MA


 

Hi Sandy, here's Handsome Rob at 5 months. He's absolutely a character! We couldn't have asked for better temperament - people marvel at how great he is at my daughter's soccer games. He has the best personality ever. An absolute bundle of joy - and a bouncy fellow when he wants to play! Thanks again.
Thanks, and hope to hear back from you soon.

Hi Sandy- 
Just another update on my two bullies.  Archie is now 4 years old and loving his new home (we just bought a new house) and new brother.  Gunner just turned 1 and loves to jump and play with his big brother.  I can't say thank you enough for our wonderful boys.  They both are very excited because summer is coming and its time to swim!!!!  I know that bulldogs aren't the best swimmers but you'd be surprised to see that Archie can swim like a lab for hours. (its quite funny)  Ok well I have attached some new photos of the boys outside playing.  And thank you again!!

 

Hi Sandy! I’ve enclosed some recent pictures of my parents dog Maddie Mae and my puppy Haleigh Lynn!  In the first picture Haleigh is on the left and Maddie is on the right.  They tend to sleep identically with their tongues hanging out!  Maddie is more of the ball player and Haleigh is more of the lover like her cousin Sasha (my brothers dog from you… the first one) Haleigh and I have moved to NYC so she gets to see Sasha a lot more now.  Haleigh also did some modeling for a doggy bakery and got some free cute clothes!  She is such a brat now but I love her, and her size! The last picture is her portrait, sorry it’s a bit blurry, but the scanner didn’t take it that well!   Thanks for my bundle of joy!                             Rachael

 

Hi Sandy! Today is Vic's (wearing his green St. Patrick's Day collar...) 1st birthday and we wanted to send along a couple of photos of both him and the resident princess, Miss Penelope (15 months and beautiful as always in pink!). They are the best of friends and almost inseparable. As you can see, nothing beats a tough day of crunching through the snow like a nice long nap on the couch! They are both very sweet and affectionate but do not hesitate to sound the alarm with a sturdy *woof* when a car pulls in the driveway. We are 100% happy with our two wonderful dogs and are sure to tell everyone about you and Iris Farms.

Thanks again,Josh & Leann

 

We got our little darling, Holly, from you in October of 2005.  My husband surprised me with her for my birthday and what a terrific birthday present she
turned out to be!  She has filled our lives with lots of laughs and we are so glad to have her as part of our family.  She has such a wonderful personality...
like no other dog we've ever seen.  She enjoys napping on our laps and playing frisbee in the yard. Thanks so much, Maggie and Bill

Hi,
 
We bought our english bulldog Rocky from you in November 2004. Rocky is now a little over two years old and has brought plenty of joy and happiness to our lives. His personality and temperment are like no other that I have seen. He is very friendly and loves when any person will pay attention to, pet or play with him. Here are a few pictures of him doing two of the things that he likes best, relaxing on the couch and taking a bath. Thanks again for such a wonderful dog.   Christine and Pete

 

 

We wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year!!!  Our first married Christmas and Floyd's first Christmas is going to be great!! He is the absolute best dog!! Take Care, Rob and Erica

Hello Sandy,   Sorry to be so long in sending this email. Oliver is just a joy. He has the most wonderful temperment. My only problem is that he is growing up too fast. Have the other two babies been adopted. I would definately like to know when you breed Bunnie and Jackson again. My daughter will be looking to get a dog next year and we might too.  I looked at his brother Sonny from the previous litter and they look exactly alike. He sounds like a great dog too. Our families have all been around for the holidays and everyone has fallen in love with him. He is almost totally house trained and knows all the common  commands. His favorite treat is a fresh green bean, but refuses no fresh vegetable, even lettuce!! We all wish you a happy holiday season. Hope you enjoy his picture taken today.  Jeanne

 

Happy Holidays Iris Farms! Thought you would enjoy a picture of "Santa Angus", aka Miss Angus, daughter of Rose and Bubba.

Hi Sandy,  We just wanted to send you a few pictures of our bulldog Murphy.  We got Murphy from you in Oct of 2005.  He's been great and everybody loves to hang out and play with Murph!  We often look back at the website and see that other people are sending in photos of their dogs and Murphy has to be included (just like everything else).  Kara  Weymouth, MA

Dear Sandy,   I just viewed at all of the picture of the English bulldogs the other owners of Iris Farm bulldogs have sent to you, and decided to send one of our Buddy.   We got Buddy from your farm in June 2001.  He has been a great dog, and loves having his picture taken He even has his own greeting card line, Buddy Boy Cards, which are sent to all of his fans.  I have attached his latest Halloween card.  Inside greeting says "This Bud's for you! Sincerely,

Elaine      Wilton, CT

Hi Sandy,

 Just to keep you up to date.  I just love New Jersey.  Here I am getting into mischief in my moms vegetable garden .I love my new home. I'm being spoiled to bits. Love,Winston

Rob, Erica, and Floyd

Sandy,
We wanted to send you an updated picture of Fergus.  We were walking in the park recently and a photographer stopped us and asked if we would be in the county parks brochure for next year.  He really meant Fergus I think, because he has contacted us and wants to take pictures of Fergus in his studio.  For now here is one of his pictures. Thank You Again, Nuala and Tim 

Hi Sandy,  Greg and I just wanted to send you some updated pictures of our beautiful bulldog Wilma Mae (aka: Mae-Mae, Missy-Miss, Petunia Rose, Pretty Girl...).  We purchased her in December of 2004 and she has been such a joy.  We have recommended you and given out the name of your website several times to numerous people who have developed an interest in bulldogs after meeting Wilma with her charming and happy disposition.  We have had no health problems with her at all.  We also bring her with us everywhere we go including vacations.  Included in the photos is a picture of Wilma in her stroller which we use quite often.  We frequently visit your website to look at the pictures of the beautiful puppies and the customer letters.                       Take Care, Erin and Greg  CT


 

Hi Sandy,

We need to apologize for being so remiss in sending you pictures of our Bulldog LuLu.  She was born last Sept 27 2006; we got her from you last November at 8 lbs and now she is a healthy 44lbs! She is a really great dog - great temperament, very social, both with people and other dogs, and we can't take her out for walks without people gathering in crowds around her because they think she's so cute. She has also been deemed "the most beautiful dog on Beacon Hill" by some of the locals in Boston! I've attached some pictures - the first is what she looked like when we picked her up and the last few are what she looks like now at 11months (the last one is with my niece, who is LuLu's new best friend).  I am also writing because Chris (Chris Hsi) and I would like to get another bulldog puppy.  We wanted to know if the male puppies #4 and 6 on your web site currently are still available and how much they are.  Of if the sale on #1 did not go through - we love the white face and wrinkles!  If they are not available, can you let us know when you are planning your next litter so we can plan for that? Thanks again, Sandy.  LuLu has been a wonderful addition for us!  We'll send you more pictures as she grows (which hopefully won't be much more!).Jennifer   Boston, MA  

 

Hi Sandy,
We just wanted to give you a qyuick update on Stewie! He is doing great and Maisy loves him! The two love to play and follow each other, constantly. Stewie was a huge hit a the vet - they called in the other staff & vet to come and see him! Here are pictures as we promised - keep checking it because we add them whenever we get good shots( most are from his first night with us). I will keep in touch and wanted to let you know how happy we are with our doggies! Sincerely,Heather 

 

Hi Sandy,  Just a quick note to thank you, thank you, thank you & bring you up to date on the barrel of laughs named  Sonny D'lite alias Sonny Boy aka Sonny Del Toro.  I've enclosed some pics for you to see, tried to get one of Sonny and his big sister Shadow playing but they move too fast!  After I got him home that day it took Shadow about 2 minutes to appreciate the fact that she now had a pack to lead!  It took about 5 minutes for Sonny to appreciate that this tall good looking lady only had eyes for him.  It truly was love at first sight!  They get along great and play together until exhausted, then they flop down and catch their breath before doing it all over again.   Cute as a button,  a smart boy too!  A couple of accidents, but almost house-trained and is crate trained already.  No crying or carrying on at all.  Such a good boy.  I took Sonny  to my vet a couple of days after bringing him home and he was irresistible to everyone, including patients,  staff and the vet!   He was such a little gentleman !  Dr. Jack examined him and Sonny passed with flying colors, (of course) My vet was very impressed with Sonny's quality, conformation & health.  He asked where my breeder was located so he could refer inquiries on English bulldogs & Frenchies since he didn't have a breeder in the area he could recommend.   So don't be surprised if you get a lot of inquiries saying Sonny sent them! Thanks again for the beautiful baby! Cynthia  NY

 

This is me enjoying my home at the jersey shore. I love the sun and the water!!

 
 
Hi Sandy-
We have had Auggie since May 2005 and he is doing great. He makes us laugh everyday. He is the most popular dog on the street. We are always talking about getting another one. We couldn't ask for a better bully. Here are a few recent pictures for you to add. Thanks, Holly,Bob, and Auggie

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Hi Aunt Sandy, 
  It's me, Winston.  I just wanted to let you know that since I left your farm on December 4th of '04 I'm having a great time with my new family. 
 My new Dad said that he knew that we were ment to be together as soon as he saw me.  On top of that, once we got home he found out that
 my birthday is September 25th.  The funny thing is that Dad's birthday is September 26th and my new big brother's birthday is September 27th. 
 Wow, I don't think we could have planned it any better if we tried.  
  My new family is great.  Mom, Dad, and my two big brothers Mike and John really like to play with me, and guess what, they even have the 
same food here that I had at your farm.  Mike has to go someplace called college, so I don't get to see him too often, but when he's home 
we have a lot of fun.  My best best friend is my big brother John he's 13.  He spends a lot of time with me.  
He taught me how to "sit" and "stay" and go up and down the stairs.  The going up part was easy, but the going down part was hard. 
 I was afraid that I would fall all the way down.  I can do it real good now.  
  Just after I moved into my new home, Dad and John put a tree inside the house with all kinds of shiny things hanging from it. 
 It was great cause I found a new place under the tree to play hide and seek.   Mom and Dad didn't like it too much but I was able to fool 
them a couple times.  Then, one day I woke up and there were all kinds of pretty boxes and bags under the tree.  Boy did I have fun with all 
those boxes and paper.  I even got to keep some of the stuff that was in the boxes.  Lots of people came over that day and I got to play 
with them and lots more boxes.  
  I really like riding in the car.  Last weekend Mom, Dad, and John took me for a ride to the pet store.  Boy, was that fun.  Dad said we had 
to go and get a new dinner bowl for me cause mu chubby little face could not fit in the one we had at home any more.  The store was real nice
 and everybody was real happy to see me.  One lady told Mom that I was so handsome that she should show me.  I don't know what she wanted to show 
me but I guess I could go if it doesn't interfere with my afternoon nap or dinner. 
  While we were in the car I watched Dad real close when is was driving.  He turns this big round thing and wiggles this stick thing on the floor. 
 I'm only 4 months old now, but I bet when I'm a 1 year old I could do it too, if he lets me.
I attached a picture so you can see also.    
  I have to go now.  I can hear Mom filling my dinner bowl and that means its time to eat and thats always a good thing.
  If you have a chance to talk to any of my litter-mates, tell them and everyone on the farm that I said hi, and I hope they were all as lucky
 as me in finding a good home.  
 
Hugs and Slobbers,
Winston
 

Mike and Linda

Hi there,
I got my girl, Rosie, from your Christmas Day litter in 2003- and she's doing great, but we just moved into a house w/ a huge backyard, and I'm thinking she needs a little friend to play with all day...  I see on your website that it says to check back the third week of april, but I was wondering if  A) the new litter is already here, but not ready for pics yet, and if so B) how can I best proceed to have a top pick of the litter that does come up for sale?  Thanks again for breeding such great, well-dispositioned bulldogs!  (I am attaching a recent photo for you too!)  -Meggan , Connecticut

YALE UNIVERSITY SELECTS MUGSY AS HANDSOME DAN XVI

Sandy and Mike,  I'm sure you've heard it on the news that on Tuesday Yale University  held a contest to replace its recently deceased bulldog mascot, Handsome Dan XV.  Magnificent Mugsy Rangoon (Mugsy) offspring of C and H Mainline Bandit and Lady Bird Chancey Patterson won the position. A field of twenty-eight bulldogs from New England was reduced to ten finalists who competed against one another in a series of competitions at the universitiy's annual Yale Spring Fling celebration.  Mugsy, seventy pounds of solid muscle, deep brindle and white, spotterd with black freckles, and possessing a wonderful large head, was the replacement for Mad Maxx who had to be put down because of an extremely narrow trachea and a mega esophagus.   

Just thought you'd like to know that one of the three most famous bulldogs in the world came from Iris Farms.   Bob

THANKS BOB FOR SUCH A GREAT DOG

Hi Sandy, We were trying to look at puppy pictures but the link is not working!
Miss Angus (4 1/2 yr old daughter of Rose and Bubba) says hi! You can post her picture on your Web site if you like.  Adopting her was a brilliant idea ... she's the best, and appropriately spoiled.

Hi Mike and Sandy-

 

Just a quick note to say hello and thank you for our wonderful bullie boys.  We purchased Archie two years ago and just recently added Gunner to our family.  They have made us so happy and they have the most wonderful temperments.  We take the boys for a walk everyday and we can almost always count on someone stopping us and asking about them.  We are very proud parents and thank you again.

Hi Sandy,

Sorry it took us so long to send pictures of Sarah - it is so hard to choose the best one!  We adopted Sarah in August 2003 (she was the last of her litter - I believe you nicknamed her Bertha) right before you left for vacation.  She is the perfect addition to our family. She has the sweetest disposition, mixed with a little bit of "bully" attitude.  Everyone in town loves her and we get tons of compliments on how beautiful she is.  I do not think we could love her any more.

campus, where he enjoys a brisk evening walk.  He has developed somewhat of a following of friends there.   I think now, he expects everyone to stop
and pet him when they pass by.       We are constantly getting positive comments about how handsome he is, and his friendly attitude.  We have given out the Iris Farms name and web
site hundreds of times.  Attached are a couple pictures of my little buddy from when we brought him home to today.    Please feel free to post them on
your web site.   We are not too far from you, so hopefully we can find a day to take him back to the farm for a visit, so you can see how well he
has grown up.  Thanks again Regards,           Mike & Linda

 

 

Hello, I promised to send pictures of Beans when we got home from Iris Farms.  That was in April, how time flies!  He is doing wonderfully.  He is such a ham and loves to be around people.  He loves to play and I have been told is quite active for a bulldog.  Maybe it is because he hangs out with labs!  LOL!  Here are some pictures taken before the summer.  I would have sent more recent pics but my digital camera is on the fritz.  He has grown in size and wrinkles.  Thanks.    Cheers, Nicole . , MA

 

 

 

Hi I am happy to write and tell you that my little joy who started at 7 pounds is now 6 months and roughly 35 pounds and loving his new family.  He will be graduating school next Tuesday and is proud to say he was trained by sign language.  I choose to train him this way in case god forbid he goes deaf one day he can still understand his commands. Sixer is full of energy.  He loves to run and play with his brother Chido (Shih Tzu) and always likes to play with his Mommy.  He is the hit of the family.  At night Sixer tells me when he has to go night night by rolling around the bed acting like the Tasmanian Devil.  That is his way of saying I need to go to sleep.  But he won't go to sleep unless you hold him, rock him and kiss his face.  Then he goes right into his playpen. The joy he has given me is priceless.  The veterinarian has told me he markings are perfect and he is truly a perfect dog.  Now I am his Mommy and that is what I tell everyone.  I can not thank you enough for allowing me to adopt such a great boy. I have attached some pictures of my pride and joy.  One is him under a desk.  He never likes to walk around things he needs to go under everything.  The others are of him and his brother Chido. I will send more soon.  Thank you again and if you ever need a referral please do not hesitate to give my name and number.    Sincerely, Deanne Marie
 
Sandy,

I just wanted to drop a quick note and some pics of the beautiful bulldog my wife and I bought from you in January of 05.  I can't begin to explain how much joy Scoozi has brought to our
life.  She is such a wonderful dog and I couldn't imagine life without her.  Bulldogs are the best breed of dog alive!  Period!  Scoozi is healthy and up to 50lbs.  We will own a bulldog for life
and hopefully you will continue to breed them so that we can always come back for more. 
Thanks, Carlo & Kim

Dear Sandy, Here are the latest pictures of Ruggles and Tessa--we love them to bits! We 
got Ruggles from you in February of 2004, and came back in May 2004 to get
Tessa.  We are SO happy that we have two--they are crazy about each other!
They love playing in the yard, sleeping, eating and taking up our whole bed
at night! We can't imagine our lives without them. Best wishes, Anna and Jason Ruggles and Tessa

 

Sandy,     A few more pictures of Ellie from the beach this weekend that I thought you might enjoy.  Best,Michael 

 
 

Sandy,  Hello from New Hampshire!

I just wanted to take a minute and give you a short update. We just celebrated Hudson's first birthday a couple of weeks ago and I can't begin to tell you what a wonderful dog he has turned into. He is so gentle and loving. I couldn't ask for better. As you can tell from the photo's, he is just beautiful. (oops...he would be mortified if he heard me call him beautiful, so let me correct myself) He is just HANDSOME!!!

Thank you so much for allowing us the opportunity to expand our family with such a wonderful member!  Shanna

 

Hi Sandy, 

Just checking in with you on Otis' 8 month birthday. He is the best dog ever!  We get compliments from everyone, saying he is the best looking bulldog they've ever seen.  We couldn't be happier with his disposition, his health, and his personality. 

Otis spends weekdays in Manhattan, and spends the weekend in the Catskills.  He's learned to ride the scooter, and it's become his favorite mode of transportation.  Walking around Central Park would wear him out, but he loves riding the scooter to the park, and smiling at all the wheel-less dogs. We're going to teach him to ride a skateboard this summer - he'll have even more fun when he can push.  Thanks so much for raising such a great dog!   Proud parents,  Ben & Harper

 

 

 

Sandy,  I came across these pictures of Ellie from last summer in the Hamptons and thought that I would share them with you. Ellie turned three this month. She is doing great and truly the sweetest dog ever. Regards, Mike

 

 

Sandy,

I wanted to send along a couple of pictures of Lois who we adopted from you when she was 10 wks old in early December. She is about 4 months old in the first picture and six months old in the second one. She is honestly the best dog either of us have ever met. She loves everyone and everything and is obsessed with cuddling. She has been a snap to house train too. She has met a lot of other bulldogs and their owners and they have all been amazed at how beautiful she is and how incredible her demeanor is. She is the best and we're already talking about getting a second bulldog. We may be seeing you soon...Regards, Jay & Julie

 

 

Sandy- My mother and I picked Rosie out of your 2003 Christmas Day litter- she was the 'runt' of the litter, and still has every bit of a Napoleon complex today! I've included a few photos of her now- just a couple months past her 1st birthday. She's a healthy 50 pounds, (and to think I was worried that she might not get to be 'full size!') We live in a small village in Connecticut, and being a local Realtor, Rosie is my firm's unofficial mascot and she often gets to ride around with me (in her car booster seat!) while I show houses. She walks around town like she owns it and she is hands-down the most popular girl around. Her favorite thing to do though, is cuddle up on the couch- she's not satisfied until her nose is right next to my cheek. Thanks so much for such a loving and spunky girl! -Meggan

    

 

Sandy,  Here is a picture of our Daisy at 6 months, she has been nothing but a total delight to have around. Not only does she make for a great heating blanket...she loves to cuddle, but she also is the cure for the common desk job. We look forward to coming home to her everyday and spending as much time with her as we can on the weekends. Thanks so much, Chris & Amanda

            

 

 

Hi Sandy,
My name is Linda and I bought Willie from you last September.
He is the best dog, he gets along very good with everybody, and he is very loving. We are actually thinking of buying another one when Willie get older.
He is four months now, and we wanted to show you some pictures of him, so you can see how big he is now.
Happy Holidays!!!!
 

Hi Sandy and Mike, Just wanted to send you some of the latest photos of Sophie--we got her from you on July 3rd 2003.  As you can see she is very excited for the holidays. I even caught her sneaking a peek at her presents tonight!  We cannot tell you enough what a perfect addition she is to our family.  I can't even call her a pet, she is very much our "little girl" and spoiled rotten as such!  Although she loves to lounge around and cuddle w/ her mom, she also enjoys hiking in the woods with her dad.  She fits us like a glove!  Have a wonderful holiday and a happy new year.  Liz, Jamie and Sophie , NY

 

 

Hello, I bought the English bulldog and my mother bought two from you. My husband Ralph came to pick them up. Were from New Hampshire, I wanted to write you and tell you how Bella is doing. She is the best dog I have ever had in my life she has the best temperate and is wonderful with my children. She wakes every morning and makes her rounds with the children giving them kisses. When my husband comes home from work she hears his truck pull down the drive way and is awaiting him at the door. She is not only our pet but now our best friend. When she has a vet visit I have to make it at night so my husband can go because he is so excited to see how much she has grown. It is like having a baby all over again. I now check other peoples English bulldogs out when I see them and I have not met one like ours. The body structure, her attitude everything is so wonderful about ours. She is already going to the bathroom outside too. I will keep you updated on Bella. Here are a few pics of her.. Pics are being sent separate Shelly _ New Hampshire

Jake is the one to the left with orange collar and then Maggie is in the middle and Bella is all the way to the left and these are all the pups we got from you.. They are so cute huh!!

   

 

 

Hi,
It's been so long since we talked.  We are the owners of a Dark Brindle English Bulldog that we purchased from you in March, 2003.  We have named him Hudson and I am attaching some pics we have taken of him.   It would be impossible to say in words how much this dog is loved.  He is such a part of our family and our business (he is the unofficial greeter at our Antique Mall) that all who come in contact with him fall in love.  He is active, playful and the healthiest bulldog our vet knows!  He is simply the greatest and has such a loving personality.  If we could say one thing about Hudson, it would be his great personality (he has that in spades) and loving disposition.  One thing everyone finds impressive is Hudson's love of children.  If a child comes around in a stroller, he simply must check it out and get close to the "baby".  As big as he is he is very gentle and safe with the kids unless he is playing hard. We have recommended admirers to your website and contact information.  We have a couple of questions: We have been asked by others if we could breed Hudson for a litter (they love his color and disposition).  Since we have never done this, do you have any advice?  We have not neutered him but plan to in the near future but were considering breeding him.  Is this something that you would consider helping us with??

Thanks for your time,
TK

  

 

 

 

Dear Mike & Sandy, Here is a shot of Tito awaiting the Great Pumpkin. He will be three in December and He loves to pose for all types of pictures. He wants to be a super model when he grows up. I will keep you posted with more pictures of him in the near future. Thanks again Joe , Eastchester, NY

 

 

Sandy,
Attached is a picture of our bumble bee Shirley on Halloween. Shirley turned 2 in October. We got her from you in December 2002 (a 10/02 litter). She is the hit of the neighborhood and everywhere we go she draws a crowd. She especially loves children. She has a wonderful personality, loves to chill out in her pool, and even sit in a beach chair like a person. She has brought so much joy to our lives and is a great companion. Thanks for giving us the best part of our family!
Danielle & Jen

 

Hello -Just wanted to send along a note to you about our boy.  We got Eli from you in July of 2002.  He is from a May 20th litter by Amos and Miss Bumble Bee.  The first picture was taken the week we brought him home - he is barely taller than his toy car
