Frequently Asked Questions

UPDATED October 16, 2008

Where are you located?
Our home is in southwest Arkansas, near Hot Springs and Arkadelphia. Click here for a map.

In what kind of facilities are your dogs raised and bred?
We're not a large kennel or anything.  Our bulldogs live with us in the house (2 in the kitchen - 1 in the living room!) and are like part of the family.  Our three children love to help care for our puppies before they're adopted.  Potential puppy buyers are always welcome to come to our home and visit anytime.  (Just call ahead first!)

Every puppy is thoroughly cuddled, snuggled and squeezed by our hard-working Quality Control department: Lanie, Natalie, & Nathanael.

We do not sell our puppies to brokers or pet stores, only directly to prospective owners.  In addition to having high-quality stock, we invest untold hours and dollars into our dogs health and well-being.  We work to provide the healthiest and best bulldogs available; and because we care about where our puppies are going (I think we'd keep them all, if we could), we screen prospective buyers carefully to ensure that each of our puppies will be able to get the same love, attention and care they received while still with us.

All bulldogs are not created equal.  Not just the bloodlines, but the quality and type of care a bulldog receives in the first stages of life can have a great bearing on its final disposition and ability to adjust and interact in its new home.  It's our hope that each of our puppies will become, not just the new family pet, but a loved and deeply-cherished companion to each of their new owners.

Can you ship your bulldogs?
Absolutely!  We can ship a puppy to practically anywhere in North America by plane and ground transport.  If you're within a reasonable distance from us, we can even arrange to meet you part way to pick up your puppy.  We'll travel up to 30 miles distance at no charge to meet you, then it's $0.85 per mile after that.

Please note that we can't airship puppies in the warmer months because of the heat sensitivities of bulldogs.  Puppies ready to go to their new homes in the late spring and summer must be transported by ground.  Depending on where you live, we may be able to deliver your puppy ourselves or arrange ground shipments through a reliable service.

How do I buy a puppy from you?
If you're interested in purchasing a puppy we currently have available, please let us know via the email address or phone number at the top of the page.  After we verify that the puppy is still available, and we agree to sell it to you, we will email you a deposit contract and purchase agreement.  You will then return the signed documents to us with a deposit amount (which we will indicate).  Once the deposit has been received, your puppy will be officially "reserved" and will no longer be available to other prospective buyers.

A puppy is usually ready to go to its new home by eight weeks of age.  We will discuss the best mode of transport for your bullie and make the necessary arrangements.  The full payment for your puppy, plus any shipping charges, is due 10 calendar days before your puppy's scheduled departure.

We think that you'll find we go out of our way to make this whole experience as easy and enjoyable for you as possible.

Are you bullies AKC-registerable?
Yes, every bulldog that leaves Caddo Valley comes with it's own registration papers for you to complete and file with the American Kennel Club.

Do you guarantee the health of your puppies?
Yes we do.  In addition to all worming and vaccinations, we have our bullies thoroughly examined by a licensed veterinarian before the pups leave us.  A certificate of health will accompany all of our puppies to their new homes.  Our bullies are guaranteed for 1 year against any life-threatening genetic defects.  Conditions and details of our health guarantee are stated in our purchase contract.

What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept cash, cashier's checks, money orders and PayPal.  If you use PayPal to pay us, a surcharge of 3% of the transaction amount is added to the sale to cover our processing expenses.  All checks are subject to a ten-day waiting period to ensure funds availability before a puppy is given to its new owner.  At this time personal checks are not accepted.

Do you have references?
Yes, and we'll be glad to give them to you upon request.
