Stella's Fabulous Bulldogs

Hello Stella,
Hope you and your family have had a nice Christmas and
a Happy New Years. I am writing you today to update you on
the puppy I purchased in September 2008. Cali Jane has been
MORE than I ever could of imagined!!! I waited 5 months to
write you for a reason, I wanted to give you an honest
opinion of her and here it is...
From the first time we spoke you told me that a Valley
Bulldog has a personality like no other.. You know your
breed!! She has been perfect from the day she came home. I
used the Crate Training method from day one and it payed
off. It took her about one week to be Potty Trained! I mean
Zero accidents in 3.5 months. You told me that Valley
Bulldogs are very calm and just love to lay around and be
with humans. Once again, you know your breed. Every time
someone sees her, they say, "What kind of dog is that? She
has the colors of a Boxer but is WAY to calm to be one" I
mean, I am not speaking ill of Boxers but they tend to be a
bit high strung!! I bring Cali around as many people as I
can and she responds well. Aside from her butt wagging back
and forth for a minute, she stays very calm around new
people and things. I have brought her around people of all
ages from my 87 year old grandmother to my 1 year old
nephew. She has been Sweet and Calm toward every person. She
has also been in a yard with a loose pet rabbit and she
never tried to bite or hurt it, only chase it! The only time
I feel bad about owning her is when I see people look at
their dogs and say, "Why cant you be more like that dog?" I
feel bad for that person and their thoughts on their own pet
but also feel Very Proud to own a Breed so Rare and Loved by
all who meet them.
Health wise she has had zero problems as of 5.5 months
old. Every time I bring her to the Vet everyone gets excited
and they tell me that she has a Great demeanor and will make
a great dog. I had her fixed yesterday and I payed to have
them run a Full Analysis on her blood for any current or
future issues. The test proved that she was of perfect
Health and has Zero signs of future health problems!!!!!!! I
also weighed her and she came in at 38 pounds, It's blows my
mind that she was 1/4 of that when I received her! The Vet
told me that she is thinking about buying a Valley Bulldog
after dealing with Cali 4-5 visits. I am the test run for
many people in my area and so far everyone is Extremely
Impressed. She also told me that Cali will be b/w 50-55
pounds full grown. I'm fine with that because she is so calm
it doesn't matter how big she is. She is a Lap dog in the
house but will play and work for as long as you need her
outside, It truly is the perfect mix. She has learned many
commands and follows them well.
I have included quite a few pictures so feel free to post them on your website. Stella from day ONE you kept the greatest of Integrity. You could have told me anything but you told me the Truth. You told me that Valley bulldogs are friendly and lovable pets with an unmatched personality and that was the Truth. You could tell that I wanted a Valley and you made it Possible and I now have a friend for many years to come. I have told everyone I know and meet about my breeder in North Carolina and I will be glad to tell anyone for you. You have my contact info and you are more than welcome to direct them to me for any questions they may have. I have no problem telling someone the Truth about Valley Bulldogs. I don't have to convince anyone to be interested in Valley Bulldogs... They meet Cali Jane and are instantly hooked!
Thanks for your Integrity and Love for Dogs,
Brent

This is an email from one of our Valley Bulldog customers.
From: "Linda"
To: "Stella Smith" Boxer Bulldogs / Valley Bulldogs ... Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2006 22:25:13 -0700 Hi Stella... A word or two about Valley Bulldogs/English Boxer Bullies (as we were originally introduced to them). They are GREAT! Yes, Sugar is a valley bulldog. We searched for another one for over a year and found Amber with Stella. She is a wonderful puppy, and we love her lots. Here is why we love them: * They are a great size...not too big and not too small. * They have very sweet temperaments. * They have great personalities and love to play with humans and dogs. * They are athletic and love to hike and snowshoe. * They also like to just hang out with their "humans." * They are NOT hyper like purebred boxers. That's thanks to the English bulldog factor (couch potato like). * They are very cute! * They are loyal like boxers. * They are great with kids of all sizes. * They can be stubborn but Sugar is more stubborn than Amber. * They are affectionate...Sugar is not a kisser but Amber is. They both love to snuggle. I have emphasized what we love so much. Stella's website is very balanced between what she sees as good and challenging points. She also points out the benefits of the blend. Stella is also a terrific breeder. Linda is a proud owner of a Valley Bulldog F#1 in California, from our first litter. |

| From the first
time we corresponded with Stella, we could tell that she was a
reputable breeder and had a genuine love for dogs. Stella took
the time to answer all of our questions. She actually went above
and beyond the call of duty with willingness to help. Stella is
extremely knowledgeable about English bulldogs. She very much
wants there to be a good match between the dog and the owner and
will do whatever it takes to make sure that happens. We
appreciate Stella's compassion and kindness! Mark and Karen Winston-Salem, NC |

| From
Anna of Florida 1/10/2008 I purchased TWO Bulldogs from Stella. They are both Super Sweet - well socialized little ladies. They had been well maintained and well cared for. I would recommend Stella to anyone who is looking for a new Bulldog to add to their family. She is very knowledgeable of the breed and loves each and every one of her dogs and puppies individually. What more could you ask for in a breeder? I am 100% satisfied. |

| From Will of
Greenville, SC 2/7/2008 Hey Stella, I just wanted to let you know that all went well at the vet and she was very happy to see a puppy of his age in such great shape. She said its rare to see dogs at that age with absolutely no problems and to tell you that you did an excellent job in raising the puppies and I wanted to thank you soo much for giving me a great little man with soo much personality. When I get some pics of him grown up a little bit Ill send them to you but until then thank you for everything and you did an excellent job (thats what I was told to tell you by the vet) Thank you!!!!! |

More importantly, She said she was a perfect specimen with no health issues whatsoever and a great temperament. No Worms, Parasites, heart murmurs, etc. She weighed in at13.4 pounds. Once again thanks again and i'll keep you posted:-) Brent |

| Stella,
I don't know how to thank you enough for your kindness and generosity during our Bulldog search. I've wanted a bulldog since I was around 6 years old and you were able to help me make that a possibility. Ceasar has been a breath of fresh air here in my home and is a constant companion. I thank you so much for the time and energy you invest in making sure we were able to take home a good quality pup. I can't go anywhere without fielding questions of "where did you get him" "he's the best bullie I've ever seen" and I always have to give your information. Thanks for everything! We look forward to getting another one soon! Chris |

Everyone has fallen in love and the
neighbor even asked if he had brothers or sisters. We said no,
but we know you'd have more and we would HIGHLY recommend you to
any and everyone!
Thank you so much and I'll be in
touch this week with pictures!
Can I just say that I can't say
enough about your quality of breeding. Yesterday when we
met I felt like I was adopting a baby from its birth momma.
You are fabulous!

We just wanted to thank you again and
let you know how grateful we are to have 2 beautiful puppies!!
They are so much fun! The white one's name is Sluggo and the
brown one is Satchel. They have been a wonderful addition!
Cocoa, our lab, loves them to pieces. Ajax, our Anatolian, is
still working on the love, but that will come with time. They
are already running for the potty pads and still LOVE to eat!
More soon!

I have 3 Valley Bulldogs that I purchased from Stella and I have had 3 wonderful experiences. Mollie is Brindle and 2 yrs. old. Jaxon is white and brown and a little over 1 year. Mabel is white with Brindle areas around her eyes and 4 1/2 months old. I am so happy having these dogs as part of my family. They are extremely affectionate, intelligent, and are friendly toward everybody they meet. They are also affectionate and get along well together. I am so happy to have met a Breeder who cares so much about what she is doing. She has always been there to answer questions on a three of my Valley Bulldogs. I am so happy with these guys. They are really people dogs. I would recommend a Valley Bulldog from Stella for anyone looking for a healthy, friendly, family pet. |

We have had our new baby "Nugget"
for just over a week and we are so in love with him already.
From the first moment I communicated with Stella, I knew that
she was the breeder for us. All throughout the breeding process
and pregnancy, Stella kept me up to date and sent photos. I felt
like I got to "know" her dogs as well as her before we even met.
Once the puppies were born, Stella sent me daily emails and
photos and helped us make the decision of which puppy would be
best for our family. |
