I agree. We unfortunately made the mistake and purchased a French Bulldog from this place. Less than 6 days later the puppy had to be hospitalized with an upper respiratory infection, and ear infection, and sever ab distention. Called them immediately and sent them over all the detailed paperwork and x rays as they said they need to present to their vet to verify. I also requested the information of their vet as the paperwork said the "supposed" shots she had at the vet but absolutely no information on the sheet. Not name of vet or location or anything all vets use on their documentation. This little trip cost us an additional $1000 which I think they are going to ignore me and not pay. Luckily, the state laws require that the breeder is responsible for any sickness of the puppy for up to 6 months and will be made to pay no more than double the cost of the pet. I have a lawyer lined up because I think it will come to this. Please, this is not what you want to be involved in. Advise all friends and relatives NOT to deal with BulldogsNYC. Please feel free to message me if you have a similar story and would like to join me in taking legal action.

At the pound or through a breed specific rescue shelter? If you want a purebred dog - look for a rescue center that specializes in those breeds, If not breed specific - the local animal shelters have plenty of good dogs in need of good loving homes. Stop wasting good money on Puppy Mills!

Mr. Feldman is definitely not a man of his word, as he had indicated that he would pay for our puppy's medical costs, and we have yet to see a dime. We sent him a copy of the medical bills (which totaled over $2,100) and the letter from the vet that the puppy was "unfit for sale", all within 14 days of purchasing the puppy, which is what is required under NY state law. We sent these items certified with return receipt requested to both the Brooklyn, NY address, as well as the Hollywood, FL address for Bulldogs on the Beach (which I believe he is affiliated with as well, as that is the business which charged by credit card for the $200 deposit we put down on the puppy). I have been tracking the packages, and neither were accepted at the locations, which means they're probably on their way back to me right now. I am submitting my complaint to the Attorney General's office today and am going to include copies of the numerous complaints that have been filed on this website, as well as with the Better Business Bureau. While it would be great to get reimbursed for the $2,100 we spent to get our puppy back to good health, the money isn't half as important to me as this guy getting what he deserves. The complaints with the BBB have gone from 16 to 19 within the last month. He will continue to lie to people and cheat them out of their money unless someone puts a stop to it. Also, wanted to chime in about the AKC papers. When he tells you he has registration papers, they're not AKC. They're for some no-name place on the internet to register your pet. He gives you this little certificate and it has the parents names on it, and that is it. And it costs you $15 to get it. Complete waste. Although Steve never told me "oh, your papers are in the mail." Instead, he tried to make me feel stupid for wanting the AKC papers, saying "I don't really understant why you want that. They don't mean anything, and the AKC has been the subject of a lot of scandal lately." Lastly, what I think is priceless, is that his bulldogsnyc has a section for Scam Alerts, which currently doesn't show anything. Kind of ironic, when he seems to be the biggest scammer out there.
