Picked up Toby today. I was absolutely exhausted and thought that I needed to rush over and get…read morehim. Helen assured me that there was no rush, that they would be there all day. That was so NICE! Toby was clean and happy to see me! They even gave him a bath! Helen said that she always watches for tail wagging. Helen and I had a nice conversation. She's really lovely, and truly LOVES dogs. She's very concerned about their health and happiness. I appreciate the fact that she won't just take any dog for boarding without knowing about vet visits, shots, etc, and prefers dogs that she sold. When I arrived, there were larger dogs playing outside, in a fenced area. Toby was waiting for me with his raincoat, toy, and hoodie all bagged up. Helen showed me the outside play area for small dogs, and told me that Toby had been playing with her Maltese, Sophie. I met Sophie :) Then Helen showed me the puppy room. OMG!!! So many absolutely adorable puppies, including Shih Tzus like Toby! I saw poodle puppies exactly like my brother's family dog. Everything that I saw was very clean, and the dogs and puppies looked healthy and well-cared for. I read the bad reviews. I like Helen. I think that if she doesn't want someone to have a dog, she has a reason. My brother's family has had their puppy for about a year now, and he's perfectly healthy. Noisy, but healthy. Helen did advise me about a group of basically criminals (HSUS), which includes people convicted of sexual harassment, embezzling, child sex trafficking, fraud, and racketeering. Interesting. They're supposed to be a humane society. So I wonder if possibly some of these reviews are perhaps not entirely accurate. But I can only speak to my own experience boarding Toby for 9 days, and my brother's family dog.

BEWARE. This place…read moreis definitely a puppy mill and I'm not sure how it's legal. I realized after entering and seeing the amount of dogs and how unsanitary it looked. The lady Helen also immediately upon meeting us declared we would get cancer because we live in a town that has a plume problem and kept referring to us as the cancers, I'm not sure what fifth dimension she lives on but she didn't make much sense the entire time. Luckily I'm fine dealing with unhinged people but being told I'm bound to get cancer because of where I happen to live was top tier sales. This lady wins the award at being rude. We came here because it was advertised as a local breeder with parents nearby and humane. It was anything but humane. We did see a dog we absolutely loved and at this point just wanted to get it out of this situation. When we asked the price she said $1200 at first, that turned into $2000 and when we called her my husband made the mistake of saying we loved the dog and suddenly price was $3500 and I have worked professionally training breeds - it was not a full breed. We were not willing to pay that much to save the puppy from there and felt conflicted because we didn't want to support an institution that treats dogs this way... It should be shut down. It's disheartening to see puppies in such cramped conditions. We ended up finding a local breeder an hour out that raises them in her home and treats her dogs like royalty. We are also paying way less than what she priced her dogs... We would just adopt if we didn't need an allergen friendly dog. We waited patiently for one to pop up on all the rescue groups with no luck...so please don't come at me (trust me I rather adopt it's cheaper). Either way, don't support this woman. She is rude and treats her dogs terribly. She will also price raise at a whim. Your choice.

I will just give our experience. Bought Reeve, a French Bulldog we named Archie, 8 years ago ( feb…read more2016). Diego & wife nice. Diego brought Archie to kitchen area and we took Archie home. One Testicle would not drop. Nuetered ( planned on it anyways) with extra work for nondescending testicle. Archie fine and we took him everywhere the first year. After first year, he became aggressive & anxious whenever I tried to leave. He would get excited & nip me if I attempted to leave. Had to literally fight him to leave. Fine when I came home. He would get excited whenever I tried to separate from his presence. Tried crating him but he became wild whenever we tried to crate him. He was like a wild animal. Stopped trying to crate. Tried gates but whatever the barrier, the point of separation triggered this aggressive behavior. Tried trainer who diagnosed resource guarding & I the resources. Whenever repairmen came to home, had to strategically plan how to separate from him. He bit me 4 times . Girlfriend loved him and showed him kindness. She was petting him one time and somehow triggered him to be aggressive towards girlfriend . Bit her in arm. Loved him notwithstanding all this. To protect him. No more visitors to my home & I didn't take him to anything social where episode may occur. Changed my life to protect him. Lovable when no triggers. Eventually became controllable when I wound leave him. He would chew a broom head to assuage his anxiety. Continued controlled environment & livable as long as I avoided triggering events. At 8 diagnosed with a cancer on 4/10/24. Just this past Tuesday, 8/20:24, let him go as he was suffereing. Miss him but relieved he never hurt my daughter or me seriously. Honestly, when he became aggressive , it was frightening. My daughter learned Diego actually acquired Archie from a Florida breeder. People on reviews say not Diego's sister. I don't know. Been told Archie was aggressive due to bad breeding. I do not know. Bad breeding lead to cancer at 8 years old? Don't know! Just encourage Diego to be up front with people about origin of dogs he sells. Encourage customers to ask questions. Be informed. Glad we had 8 years with Archie, but challenging times t

Louie has remained in good health since we purchased him from Diego and his family too date. Louie has become one of the four loves of our families lives. He alongside our other French Bulldog Brie and two Yorkshire Terriers all get along fabulously. Any time there was ever an issue that I needed to have addressed by Diego; he happily did so without any apprehension. Our family would happily recommend Bulldogs Of Long Island to anyone on Long Island and/or NY/Tri-State area interested in purchasing French/English Bulldogs. Thank you again for providing our family with a happy and healthy French Bulldog!
