Ferner's Bulldogs Multiple Health Problems and Huge Vet Bills with Puppy Purchased from Ferner's Bulldogs Knoxville, Tennessee

My family purchased a bulldog puppy from Ferner's Bulldogs as well, in 2008. While the first two comments are unfortunate, our bulldog puppy, who is now 4 years old has had no major health problems. She does have slight entropion in her left eye, but that is the extent of her issues. As a matter of fact, we recently moved, and upon meeting our dog for the first time our new vet remarked that we had chosen our bulldog well. Our dog has none of the health problems that are known to bulldogs, thank goodness. She's in excellent shape, and is a beloved family pet. We also researched the breed quite a bit and were expecting to see some issues, but as of yet, we have had none.
We also have a rescue bulldog from a puppy mill,and our two dogs are like night and day. Our poor rescue is like a bulldog nightmare, she is pitiful. While I cannot dispute the experiences reported by the first two comments, I felt that I needed to reply that we did not have the same experience, and would buy from Ferner's again. It is very unfortunate that the original poster has had such an ordeal, and I truly feel for her/him in having to go through what they have. But, we do have a very healthy bulldog purchased from Ferner's.

My girlfriend and I purchased a male Bulldog puppy from Ferner's in 2009.  He is a beautiful, strong male bully.  The vet comments every time we bring him in, how impressed he is with the breathing of the line, and that he expects "Winston" will live a long healthy life because of it.  It appears this person may have had a bad result, but c'mon people these things are Animals, not cars.  Hell, my mothers ex-champion pug has seizures.  It is terrible, but it happens.  Things can and do go wrong.  From my personal experience, Jennifer wouldn't sell me the dog without knowing where and to what climate the dog was going to.  She was extremely informative, providing AKC papers, and pictures of the parents (now that he is grown, it is obvious that the pictures are of the actual parents).  These dogs are not a walk in the park though.  They can have multiple skin, joint, respiratory issues.  That is the price you pay when you breed a dog to be as awesome as they little guys are.  I am sorry that this other person had such a negative experience, but we will be getting our 2nd Bully from Jennifer in a year or so, and are looking forward to doing so.

I agree....I bought a puppy from ferner bulldogs too and he had asperated pnemonia and died 3 weeks after i bought him...he was weezing and cost me 1800 to save him and he passed anyways...Ferners offered me nothing...they are brokers and a puppy mill supporter!!!
