We went for a boy for our already 6 yr old Bully to have a brother and Cali stole our hearts! She is perfect in every way. Michelle and her husband put so much effort, care and love to into their bulldogs and their precious mama. She let us visit as many time until we decided (which did not take long) there is no lack of care or thought that goes into raising these puppies and respecting their mamas recovery. We hope she continues to enjoy breeding the pups as she would be our sole breeder moving forward!

He is such a goofy, funny, loving, sweet guy. Thank you, Marin Bulldog!

I was skeptical at first because i did see the previous reviews and how there's not much on social media but i took the leap anyways. She was able to answer all my questions and let me visit her home with all the cute dogs. She had a nice contract that I reviewed. I had a long list of questions for her that's she was able to answer. Katsu was born in 4/1/2021 and she hasn't had any problems since. She's such a sweetheart with LOTS of energy. 100% golden retriever vibes that loves humans more than dogs. I love katsu so much and couldn't be any happier with her! No one knows where that spot came from, but I wanted that genetic deformity. It got smaller but it's still there! No health problems and all her vet visits are good. I was also able to speak with people who got puppies from annette as well and it really put my mind at ease!

Annette was open and accommodating, even helping fill in with some puppy care early after the adoption when we needed to do some travel. She answered every question clearly and gave us all sorts of paperwork upon request, and gave us a good stack of information for adoption/take-home day help ensure success. Puppy visitation was also accommodating and reassuring; we got to meet the pup's mom and her (last remaining) littermates; seeing the mom in person helped give us that final boost of confidence in adopting from this lineage.

Congenital Elbow Dysplasia…read more It is with deep disappointment that I find myself writing this review. This review is not based on my puppy's genetic elbow dysplasia, as such conditions can occur through no fault of the breeder. Rather, it reflects my experience with how Kentfield Kennels handled the situation after being informed. In January 2024, we purchased a four-month-old started puppy from Kentfield Kennels. Her parents were Kentfield's Benelli Super Black Eagle ("Ben") and Kentfield's I'm a Barbie Girl ("Barbie"). The day after bringing her home, we noticed an abnormality in her gait. Concerned, we took her to our veterinarian the following day. Ultimately, we were referred to an orthopedic specialist, who performed X-rays and a CT scan. The diagnosis was devastating: bilateral medial coronoid remodeling and left elbow osteoarthritis--findings consistent with congenital elbow dysplasia. Given the severity of the condition, our orthopedic veterinarian recommended bilateral elbow arthroscopy. Our puppy underwent arthroscopic surgery on both elbows, followed by eight weeks of complete rest and 12 weeks of rehabilitation therapy. Despite these efforts, her prognosis remains guarded. As our orthopedic veterinarian explained: "While surgery will improve the puppy's current comfort and ambulation, her elbows will never be normal. The cartilage lesions secondary to elbow dysplasia will progress over time, and her osteoarthritis will likely require long-term management with pain medication and lifestyle modifications." I share this review for two important reasons: Transparency for Future Owners - If you are considering purchasing a puppy from Kentfield Kennels, particularly one bred from Ben and/or Barbie, you deserve to have this genetic history so you can make an informed decision about the risks and potential costs. Understanding Your Rights - California Health and Safety Code Sections 122045-122110, also known as the Polanco-Lockyer Pet Breeder Warranty Act (or "The Puppy Lemon Law"), provides protections for buyers in situations like ours. When I informed Kentfield Kennels of our puppy's diagnosis and requested they comply with the Puppy Lemon Law, I was met with resistance at every turn. I sent them three letters, provided all of our puppy's medical records, and included a declaration from our orthopedic specialist. Even after an independent veterinarian of their own choosing confirmed that our puppy had congenital elbow dysplasia, they refused to comply with the law. Left with no other option, I retained an attorney. Despite legal correspondence, they continued to refuse. Only after I formally filed suit did they finally agree--within just four hours of being served--to comply with the law and reimburse us for a portion of our puppy's medical expenses. We love our puppy dearly. She is intelligent, loving, and has an incredible personality. Writing this review is not something I wanted to do. However, both our primary and orthopedic veterinarians were unequivocal: this is a genetic condition. Despite having full knowledge of our puppy's diagnosis and the associated risks of breeding Ben and Barbie, as of the date of this posting, Kentfield Kennels has neither removed them from their breeding program nor acknowledged the issue. I feel I have no choice but to share this information so that others can be fully informed before making a decision.

He is everything we had hoped for. Calm, intelligent and a really good looking boy. We also took advantage of the started puppy training (thank you Jane) and it was well worth it.

I trusted Suzy, a bulldog breeder of 20+ years, who was listed in the breeder referral sections of both the Northern California Bulldog Club and the Bulldog Club of America. Boy, was that a mistake. My puppy had severe allergies which is now treated with life long weekly allergy vaccines. She had terrible knees (patellas) and already had surgery one one. After several seizures and an expensive EEG and testing at the neurology department of UC Davis, my dog was diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy (meaning it is genetic). Suzy is aware of al this but refuses to take any responsibility for her poor breeding. Her view is that all bulldogs are generally not the healthiest breed around and medical problems are to be expected. What a joke. The worst thing is that my dog's litter mate, who Suzy calls Walkin' Blues Matt "Guitar" Murphy, (who undoubtedly carries the genes for all the medical issues that came about in my dog) is now proudly displayed on the Walkin' Blues Bulldogs website as a stud dog. I added a screen shot of this in the picture section. Stay away from this breeder like the plague. I will keep updating with more health issues as they arise.

Unfortunately, it was not a match (our little girl was way too shy and reserved to be a good fit for Basia's pack). But we so appreciated Basia's proactive and kind communication throughout the process. We got to spend some time with Basia and meet some of her other doggie clients, and I was so impressed by her attention to detail with all of the dogs, her honesty and transparency about anything we asked, and the fact that her space is so neat, clean, and organized. She loves her job so much that she has pictures of the dogs she cares for all over her house, which is really sweet. I wish it had been the right match for our dog, but I appreciated Basia's honesty about why it wasn't. I would feel completely comfortable recommending her to others based on the interactions we had with her.

From the initial contact, Jess was courteous and accommodating. We made the trip to her place for the initial evaluation and immediately it was apparent that she has a lot of experience and she loves what she does.
