He's bright, outgoing, easy to train, and a sweetheart. Everyone who meets him loves him, and people can't stop commenting on his unique coloring. He's received a clean bill of health from our vet so far and is settling into our lives beautifully. We couldn't be happier! A quick disclaimer: our puppy is only 15 weeks old and he's only been with us for 6 weeks, so I suppose it's possible that something will come up later to change my opinion. If so, I'll try to remember to report back! Update: our boy turned a year old in December, and we're still feeling lucky to have him. He's healthy, happy, and delightfully silly. So far, so good!

The breeder, Clint Little, of Happy Bend Kennels doesn't allow you to see the parents or visit his…read morekennel. The breeder always has puppies available that he sells for $2000 + as designer mixes. These are the top red flags of a bad breeder, but let me continue with my personal story: My husband & I were looking for a puppy to fit both of our needs, mine being that it had to be hypoallergenic (already limited there) & that we wanted the puppy to become a service dog (only certain breeds there too). So no going to the shelter to adopt a puppy. My husband is a disabled veteran (who is unable to work) & would greatly benefit from a service dog. We researched a lot of breeds, particularly the Native American Indian Dog. We chose Happy Bend Kennels as he is only an hour away from us. He said he'd give a discount on the account of the puppy being much older, the last one left from her litter, & for my husband being military. This never happened. We notarized a contract saying we would pay $1500, but on the breeder's way to see us he comes up with us having to pay $150 in taxes, & we desperately wanted her, so we ended up paying $1650 for a puppy that was already 15 weeks of age instead of a the normal 8-10 weeks (no discount there either). Unfortunately, 12 days after purchasing the puppy, we received devastating news that my husband was going to go under intense treatment at the VA that might require an eventual surgery & over night stays at the hospital. Knowing he would not be home enough or physically able to give our fur-baby the attention that she needs, & I work 8-10 hours a day, frequently go out of town overnight, so the heartbreaking decision was made to call the breeder. The breeder took full advantage of our unexpected crisis with my husband's health problems, took our $1650 puppy, all her belongings that we had bought her, including a $100 bed, lots of toys, treats, & vitamins & gave us a lowly $200 that doesn't even cover part of her belongings. He promised to return as much of the money as he could, of course, that never happened. Even his full grown 4-5 year old adult dogs that can't produce puppies for him anymore, he sells for $300 +. We are not only heartbroken over our loss of our puppy as we wanted for her to be a part of our family & a lifetime companion, but now we are having to endure the my husband's demanding treatments at the VA. We've had to deal with the fact we just unwilling donated $2000 for someone else to have a puppy & all her stuff (as Clint posted on YouTube that she will be re-homed to Colorado). I didn't realize my husband & I were running a charity, paying for expensive puppies for other people to have. Clint, taking money from a disabled Army veteran & his family while they are going through a difficult time is disguising and dishonorable. Thank you for adding to that difficult time & making it so much worse, Clint. He sells these dogs is just like any breeder, only in it for the money, has absolutely no conscious as he's willing to rip money off a disabled veteran who can not work because of his injuries fighting for our country by deploying to war twice. Being that he has 2-3 litters of puppies at a time, averaging 7-9 puppies each, & selling them for $2000 + (depending on where he is delivering them to), he certainly has the money to reimburse us especially after we only had the puppy for 12 days. He refused to return our phone calls and has ignored my email, pleading for him to reimburse us our rightfully owed money since we no longer have the puppy. When I was finally able to get on the phone with him, I was in tears at the loss of our puppy and (yes even the money). He had no empathy what-so-ever & said he would never sell in Arkansas again after this experience, ironic since that is where his kennel is. He had the nerve to tell me, in between my tears that, I don't need the money as I have a nicer car than him (a 5 year used car with 60k miles that cost $25k.) By the way, he drives a 'puppy express' Delivery Vehicle that is a huge 4x4 Truck with a 14ft trailer to deliver his furry money makers since he doesn't want anyone seeing his kennel. Selling his mixed bred puppies at $2k+ each, the man is not hurting on money. Please beware to all those who are considering purchasing a puppy from this greedy man. He may breed beautiful dogs, but he has an ugly greedy soul.

If you have absolutely done your due diligence in selecting the dogue de bordeaux breed, this will be easy. Disclaimer....due diligence is removing the "gorgeous, eye catching exterior" of the breed and committing to the complex dedication this breed WILL require. Puppy Creek is the ABSOLUTE pinnacle of DDB breeders in America. Compulsively dedicated to the health, conformation and temperment of their lines. The reality is few individuals will ever actualize the pure potential of PC's dogues in the conformation ring. However it's always nice to "have it and not need it! I've been a multiple investment/Dog client and have never been more grateful for a business/families work ethic, graciousness and service. My dogs have unequivocally been the most impressively bred and astonishingly reliable animals EVER! Please honor yourself and our breed by considering PuppyCreek. Patrick

Kelli answered my questions--and I had a lot. She arranged to ship the puppy on a flight. I didn't want to chance the dog getting stuck, so I flew out to pick her up instead. I was picked up at the airport, taken to lunch in Little Rock since I've never been to Arkansas, and got to see the Kelli's whole operation--dogs, horses, family... Kelli has a lot of dogs--this is a business not one-litter breeder--but it's still a family operation. They have their own kennels, a birthing facility, and a few dogs come in the house. The grounds and kennels are extremely well kept. I've looked at a lot of breeders, and Arkansas Labs is top-level. They have a variety of labs (mine is a silver lab)--chocolate, white, silver. There are also labradoodles. I had a wonderful experience picking up the dog and getting rock star treatment. I wouldn't hesitate to get another dog from Arkansas Labs.

We got our 1st Frenchie from Harp Lux and we could not be happier with our newest "son" and "lil…read morebrother"! Mookie, the name my daughter gave him after one her favorite baseball players, Mookie Betts (LA Dodgers), is a (fur)ball of energy, unlike the typical French Bulldog you might read about online. In fact, while the Mookster does possess traits identified in online articles, he is NOT your typical Frenchie! Or maybe a better explanation is he does NOT always act like the typical Frenchie. This is a GOOD thing, in my opinion. Mookie is much more energetic and playful than what those describe about the "lazy" French Bulldog. I will say that Mook loves his morning and evening walks...hell he loves to get outdoors at anytime and for any length. One trait he does share, of course, is his bulldog snout and struggle to breathe, especially when overheated and exhausted...a potentially lethal combination on a hot day. So be careful with this breed during the summer time, no matter what!. Mookie is as chill as they come. On the return flight home to San Diego from Hot Springs, Ark, Mookie was 8 weeks old and in his airline carrier under the seat in front of me. He did n't make a sound on the roughly 4 1/2 hour, non-stop flight home! When I picked up his carrier and took him out to assure him all was OK, the folks around me melted and commented they had no idea there was a dog in there as he was so quiet. Back home in San Diego, this dude has acclimated quite nicely! He absolutely loves his walks as mentioned, but he loves them 100 times more when we do them at the local beach. He will run and splash in the water chasing seagulls and any other creature he sees, as long as I'll let him. He was easy to train and he adores people. In fact he gets energized around people...anyone! He is super healthy and is a compact stud strutting around, showing off his stuff! At 1 year and 9 months, he is a specimen of health and (knock on wood) he has had NO vet visits except his regular checkups and shots as a puppy. Lucas knows what he is doing and he certainly understands the breeding of French Bulldogs as Mookie is living proof of excellent breeding selection! We cannot wait to begin studding the Mookster out here very soon! I am pretty sure, he is ready as well!!!!

During the heat of the pandemic I heard a lot about the how "everyone" was getting a dog, the…read moreemptying of shelters, etc, and how people would be able to see the puppies on Facetime or on video and I thought . . . "How on earth can you 'know' what a puppy is like, choosing him or her and welcoming them into your family/home without interacting with the puppy personally?" With Bernedoodle Bliss it wasn't just one video, it was several weekly videos that showed loads of interaction between the litter's brothers and sisters - - the best kind of interaction vs a first or second time visit from a "stranger" to a litter where the puppies are always going to be happy to see someone new. Their videos also showed the puppies progression and growth - - it was huge for us and was instrumental in helping us make our decision!! If you are searching for an ethical Bernedoodle breeder, you can trust Bernedoodle Bliss. We did our homework, searched everywhere and found LaDonna Thomas is truly passionate, has an open line of communication, is innately interested in ensuring the health & wellness of each puppy she raises and you'd be hard pressed to find a better breeder. As a longtime dog-owner, I've had lots of experience with different breeds and breeders, having owned 2 Tri-color Collies, a Wiredhair Terrier, a Bearded Collie, a Schnauzer and a Labrador Retriever. I've never come across a breeder so willing to help both before and after we brought our puppy home. One last item - - our 8-week old puppy is smart, docile, loves to snuggle, is eager to learn, and is the most beautiful dog I've owned! That calm temperament is due in large part to LaDonna, she does a great job with the puppies and let's face it, getting a puppy is a big investment in your time and money and finding the right Bernedoodle breeder can be a daunting task. Do your homework, search the internet, interview breeders - - but you will find getting involved with LaDonna & Bernedoodle Bliss is absolutely worth it!
