“She's the best dog I've ever had.”

Melinda R.
5/23/19

I purchased my English Bulldog, Elli, from Jose at Bullcanes in May, 2008. She is seriously the best dog I've ever had and I grew up in a very dog loving household where we always had 2 dogs at time. I fell in love with that Bulldog face and was on a mission when I became ready to buy my own dog. I was skeptical to buy a dog from only seeing pictures (she was so stinking cute), but I spoke to Jose over the phone and very securely and cautiously set up payment through PayPal and Jose set up her flight to send her from Florida to me in New Jersey. Best Thing I ever did! She has been very healthy, they are a special breed you can't feed them just anything and Jose advised me to not feed her puppy food, as they don't need it, they grow at a fast pace on their own, it's the breed. I right away started feeding her Grain Free and never anything else. She is so smart, and well behaved, she's been with me through thick and thin, over time I had a son who's now 7 and doesn't know life without her, he completely adores her. My Elli girl has gentlest, sweetest disposition. I wish I could clone her! Anyway, I search all the time to connect with anyone that has a Bulldog from her litter. I would love to have another one from her blood line. I highly recommend Bullcanes and had no issues at all. This is a sensitive breed and can be prone to issues no matter where they come from. If you truly want a Bulldog you need to do your research on them!

“My sweet baby”

We got our baby, Monty way too early. He was taken away from his mommy way too early... we had him for 4 years. He passed from a terrible terrible heart defect. Spent so much money on him since literally the night we got him. Till he passed... at least 10 thousand dollars of vet bills. I don't care about the money but I wish he didn't have this terrible heart condition that caused him to leave us so so early... please don't buy from this person..

I am from Colombia, bought my friend from this Puppy Mill 6 years ago and he passed away yesterday. I was not aware of these terrible reviews, here is a copy of the IM a sent Carolina via Whatsapp. I will do anything in power to make these people regret the suffering they brought to my home and as I see to all of yours. I am already speaking to lawyers, animal lover organization in Medellin Colombia so that Carolina and her so name Bullcanes are not longer in the market.

Carolina, stop your puppy mill.

Estimada Carolina,

Hace unos años tuve el priveligio de comprar un bulldog inglés de su criadero. Isaac, y yo despues lo nombre Khalil Mejor Amigo. Llegue a ustedes por medio de mis primos quienes habían adquirido otros 2 cachorros. Khalil fue un gran amigo mio y de mi padres y hermanos, parte de nuestra familia. Le brindamos los mejores cuidados, la mejor alimentación, veterinarios y de mas. Desafortunadamente ayer falleció repentinamente, de un infarto. Estamos totalmente devastados por esta perdida. Los veterinarios me dicen que el perro no tenia porque dejarnos tan joven, 6 años, y muchos menos de un problema cardiaco dadas sus condiciones de vida, agilidad, espacios abiertos, agua abundante y su aparente condición física. Su muerte se debe a una enfermedad cardiaca congénita. Que tristeza ha sido esto para nosotros. Me he tomado la tarea de investigar las evaluaciones de Bullcanes, tarea que no hice a tiempo ya que confié en mis primos y en usted, y para mi sorpresa casos como el de Khalil habian sido reportados desde muchos años atras. Se que ustes no puede hacer nada para curar nuestro dolor, pero si le quiero pedir el favor que no críe mas estos perritos enfermos, ellos sufren y nosotros cuando los perdemos también.

Por favor No haga sufrir a mas personas ni a los perritos, pongase la mano en el corazón.

Que Dios la proteja

I'm going go give Bull an estimate a 1 star rating for based on the fact at I now know they're a puppy mill. We've had our bulldog for 7 years now from bullcanes and she's been 100% problems free up until last month, which given the circumstances we've felt lucky. Our girl now has bone cancer, hereditary or not, I'm uncertain as I've not put in too much research given that it won't change her outcome. What I can say is that Bullcanes certainly lies about the origin of our girl. We fully believed she came from Florida but they ALL come from Columbia. While I knew she came from sort of US breeding, I was beyond horrified knowing I probably supported somewhere that has NO standards for dogs. Happy for our girl, unsure about genetics, horrified by what we unknowingly supported.

I bought my dog Macho from Bullcanes in 2007 and just put him to rest last Monday after 11 years of companionship. One thing you have to keep in mind is that more people will write negative reviews when something goes wrong with their pet versus those of us who have nothing bad to say. That's when you go searching to see if people have the same experience as you and then issue your own complaint. Well, I got a really great dog from Bullcanes and it was very sad for me to put him down but he rapidly declined over the last few months due to old age. He lived a long healthy life and had his share of vet visits like most dog do go through.

Bought my bulldog from them and got her in February of 2011. She died on December 8th 2016. She was completely healthy up until this year(2016) when she started having severe skin issues. I've spent almost $10,000 in vet bills throughout the 5+ years I had her. Also got her from the Carolina Oscacio person. The vet also questioned the shot chart that came with her. Although I got to spend 5+ Years with her the void her death has left is going to last forever so please no one else buy from these people so you's don't have to go through the same heartbreak the rest of us are going through now!

I bought a french bulldog from this site without doing research or anything. My puppy was EXTREMELY sick with parasites a lung infection and mange! My vet gave my puppy less then 2 weeks to live. She was also younger then carolina stated. My puppy was younger then 8 weeks old. The only way to save her life was to dish over $2000 dollars out in which i did i couldnt see something so precious die. I tryed to contact this Carolina and she would response until i told her baout my problems and i even faxed her my vet papers and bills and nothing she appartenly fell of the face of the earth. I then went through anthor email to try to get her to talk to me in which i started off as a new customer then i nailed her and then there she goes running from her problems again. I HIGHLY recommend NOONE to buy from this low life piece of trash that thinks of herself and money and nothing of these poor innocent baby animals. And for these 'Happy Customers' thats a damn joke thats her family with the pictures of the dogs and most of the pictures have no people in them so they can just be random photos. So PLEASE save your self from heart break and from getting robbed.

I couldn't agree more with everyone else. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS SITE AND CAROLINA. She is rude, she is a scammer and a thief. She still owes my husband and I at least $100. She will not answer emails or phone calls. Once they get your money, forget it. She lied constantly about the dog we were supposed to get and lied about why the dog we were promised suddenly had an injury and was unavailable. Carolina Osario is truly heartless and a money grubber. If you are reading this Miss Carolina Osario - go ahead and refund my money, you have the account number- remember lying about that? And me catching you in the lie and forwarding your "stories" back to you - sorry hapless soul you are. Couldn't keep a story straight to save yourself girl.
These dogs are sick and will need lots of medicine. Save your time and your money and heartache. Find a better local breeder, or a rescue bulldog. This site is really a scam.

Hello everyone. Unfortunately, my review isn't a good one. Recently, my horrible experience with bullcanes occurred. I purchased a puppy from this site trusting that my puppy was coming from a loving place. Not only was the place she came from lied about but my puppies health certificate was falsified as well. My puppy was supposedly coming from Miami, Florida but she really came from Columbia. When I picked up my puppy, she was very malnourished and dirty. My puppy was laying on newspaper shredding. She was trying to nurse on my other dog and that's when I knew something was truely wrong. I had a feeling before I got her that something was a little fishy. The date kept changing on when I could get my puppy and it seemed very unreliable. I took my puppy to the vet and she is sick. She has to drink milk because she isn't weened yet. She also has very low blood sugar so she shakes a lot. I know bulldogs come with a lot of problems but this kind of problem is different. Bullcanes is a puppy mill and the puppies are getting sick and dying within a year. I've talked to many who have delt with bullcanes and have all been suffering from this heartbreak since. Purchasing a puppy is supposed to be an exciting, happy experience for people. Bullcanes has made it a nightmare. I have to get up with my puppy in the middle of the night while she cries. She has peed on herself as well as deficate on herself too because she is so young and sickly. I am constantly feeding her. I feed her every two hours and give her calcium for her shaking. I am glad I saved one baby but there are many more! I hope this company finds it in their hearts to relieve these poor dogs which they are breeding on a monthly basis and stop this abuse. Please do your research before purchasing a puppy. Thank you.

Not only is my Dog sick But they never answered my complaints. Carolina Osorio used to answer all my questions seconds after I pressed send but once she got the money it's been a nightmare to communicate. She is suddenly rude if she answers at all. My dog got to the airport 2 days after scheduled I she never answered me. It was horrible. Now that Rocky is sick 5 emails and more than 7 facebook messages have gone unanswered.
To add insult to injury my miniature Bulldog is not miniature at all. These people scam without shame or compassion. They don't love the dogs. Makes me wonder how they treat their live in money maker dogs if they are willing to send sick puppies around the world. Please don't buy from them. They are the definition of a puppy mill. Don't fall for the pretty website and cheap price. The whole thing get pretty expensive pretty fast with all the treatments your dog will need.

I purchased a puppy from Bullcanes.net last year, although I love my pup I would NEVER recommend Bullcanes. First off, its definitely a puppy mill. They went from telling me they were located in FL to Southern CA. (I should have known then) Once they received payment for my frenchie, they were not "available" to answer further questions I had about transportation/delivery of my pup. Then when I finally found out the flight info, (2 days before shipment) I found out my pups flight was over 10 hours, and she had a layover, with no chance to go potty or exercise. When I received my pup, she had several noticeable heath problems. I have had her for over a year now, and my vet bills have been outrageous, she has several ongoing issues, my vet says its from poor breading, and from being in an unhealthy environment when young. I tried to contact bullcanes several time, to let them know about these issues, but I have not heard back from anyone... I could go on...

Don't buy from here, I KNOW the pups are cute, but please ADOPT, there are so many rescue centers, with dogs just like these sent from puppy mills. Be Kind, Adopt.

9 years ago we brought our beloved dog Rocky into our family after buying him from Jose at Bullcanes. Rocky was the greatest companion to all three of our children... and we truly considered him to be one our very own. I don't know anything about the breeding practices of Bullcanes, but what I do know is that our Rocky was the perfect doggy for our family and we were blessed to have 9 beautiful years with him. He was free of complicated health problems and had the perfect temperament around all people. He was a caring and a very loving bulldog. We're heart broken that he is no longer physically with is but he has touched our hearts and that will last a lifetime!

I find it curious how these "happy costumers" go around the different review sites wiring exactly the same thing with different names. Me thinks there is something fishy!

I can thank these people for the worst and most expensive experience of my life. They are really good at selling and responding really fast while doing so but once you have a problem they are gone. I did some genetic testing on my dog bc my vet assured me he was not pure. My dog is a bulldog pitbull mix, aggressive and hard to train. They deny this and won't refund the money. The guarantee is a joke. Please try to rescue before you buy and if you need to buy don't do it from them. Petfinder.com and save adog allow you to search by breed, sex and age. It's way cheaper.

Bullcanes and Catolina Osorio made what was suppossed to be a positive thing the worst experience of my life. It made me loose faith in people and honesty. I don't care how many pics of her daugther with a puppy they post don't fall for it like I did.

PLEASE ADD BULLCANE TO THIS SCAM/PUPPY MILL LIST.

I own a english bulldog myself and I love my dog like family.
All the signs show that Bullcane is nothing but a puppy mill.
Google the place, their main objective is to "SELL" they have many sites such as twitter to youtubes advertising their pups.
People, if you're looking to purchase a English Bulldog please do your research first. I advise you all to look for local reputable breeders, don't be afraid to pay extra, because you get what you pay for.
Bullcane sells more than just english bulldogs, they have dogs for sale just about every month year round. Most reputable breeders breed only once every other year.
WHEN YOU SUPPORT PLACES LIKE BULLCANE YOU'RE SUPPORTING ANIMAL CRUELTY.

We would just like to say that we are very happy with Truman our English bulldog. He has been everything we hoped for and more. He is just over 6 months old and he is a very handsome dog, we would like to recommend Bullcanes for giving us such a great pet.

BEWARE OF BULLCANES! THEY ARE CROOKED!

I WAS UNAWARE OF COMPLAINT BOARDS - AND PURCHASED AN ENGLISH BULLDOG PUPPY FROM BULLCANES.

CAROLINA OSARIO IS THE OWNER AND AS YOU WILL READ ON OTHER COMPLAINTS - WHILE SHE IS TRYING TO GET YOUR MONEY - SHE COULD NOT BE NICER OR SWEETER!

ONCE SHE HAS YOUR MONEY THAT CHANGES QUICK. AFTER SHE HAD MY MONEY I COULD NOT GET HER TO RETURN MY E-MAILS OR CALLS. I WENT LOOKING ON THE INTERNET AND MUCH TO MY HORROR RAN ACROSS HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT HER BEING A PUPPY MILL AND NOTORIOUS FOR SELLING SICK PUPPIES AND TELLING THE CUSTOMERS TO GO TO HECK!

IT WAS TOO LATE FOR ME SHE HAD MY MONEY ALL I COULD DO IS PRAY THAT MY LITTLE PUPPY - BRIAR ROSE- WOULD BE ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES TO NOT BE ILL. WELL... SHE WAS YET ANOTHER ONE OF THE CONGENTIALLY DEFECTIVE PUPS THAT THIS HORRID EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING SELLS. MY BRIAR ROSE JUST DIED AT HER YEAR BIRTHDAY AFTER SUFFERING FROM AN CONGENTIALLY ENLARGED HEART AND A DEFORMED TRACHEA... I HAVE THE X-RAY CD'S TO PROVE WHAT I AM SAYING.

NOT ONLY DID BRIAR ROSE SUFFER BUT MY DAD AND I HAVE SUFFERED AND ARE STILL SUFFERING FROM HER LOSS... SHE HAD AN ESPECIALLY SWEET LITTLE GIRL DISPOSITION AND SHE DID NOT DISERVE THE FATE THAT CAROLINA OSARIO CONDEMNED HER TO THROUGH HER NEGLIGENT BREEDING AND CARE OF HER MOTHER BULLDOGS.

I OWNED A KENNEL FOR 20 YEARS AND NEVER - EVER - DID I PRODUCE ONE CONGENTIALLY DEFECTIVE PUP OR A SICK PUP FOR THAT MATTER. THIS HAPPENS WHEN BREEDERS BREED THEIR FEMALES CONSTANTLY WITHOUT A BREAK... AND DO NOT FEED AND SUPPLEMENT THEM PROPERLY! CAROLINA OSARIO IS EVIL!

SHE ALSO CHEATED ME OUT OF MY CKC REGISTRATION ON BRIAR ROSE AND IF IT WAS NOT FOR MY BACKGROUND IN LAW I WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN THEM... AND I DID NOT GET THEM FROM HER... I HAD TO GO TO THE OWNER OF CKC TO GET THEM AND FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THEM AGAINST OSARIO AND BULLCANES.

SHE LEADS YOU TO BELIEVE SHE IS IN SAN DIEGO AND FLORIDA BUT THOSE ARE HER PORTS OF ENTRY INTO THIS COUNTRY HER KENNEL IS IN COLUMBIA SOUTH AMERICA... WHERE SHE FEELS SHE IS UNTOUCHABLE BY OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM. I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR HER!

HER SPORT IS TORTURING PUPPIES AND RIPPING OFF NORTH AMERICANS!

IF YOU HAVE BEEN RIPPED OFF BY CAROLINA OSARIO AND BULLCANES - PLEASE CONTACT ME AT *******@yahoo.com AS I AM IN THE PROCESS OF FORMING A UNITED FRONT TO PUT A STOP TO HER ABUSE AND THE SUFFERING SHE CAUSES AND... HER THEFT!

I´m not agree with these reviews of Bullcanes, I bought two beautiful bulldogs from them, the first of them (Cognac) was sold by Jose in Hollywood, FL, when I went in Miami 4 years ago and another one by Carolina one year ago, she sent her (Tequila) to Portland Airport, I'm still in contact with Carolina when I have doubts about my kids!
My dogs are awesome and are completely healthy since they are with me
I´m an advocate of Bullcanes and also I can recommend them.
I think there are some unfair comments, I was scammed with 1000 dollars before finding bullcanes
I love my dogs and thanks BULLCANES

I thought I had met an honest and compassiomate person in Carolina, but she is a number one scam artist no thought for anyone anything but the money. Please please do not buy these animals, they are cute and lovable but are sick and the contract you sign you might just as well rip it up alla a scam. They have my money and I ahve a dog that drags its back legs because of dyplaysia, she also has a parasite that leaves bald patches on her skin she has aovergrown mandable she already had a previous operation on her stomach when I recieved her and a hernis, my vet was appalled with the condition of the dog he called in another vet and I was advised to put her down there and then, Caroline had all this information from the vets and has ignored them, according to the contract I must get permission to put the dig down, guess what she is refusing to answer my
Emails and the videos that I have sent, she would let the dog suffer rather that give permission. I am a retired nurse, and this little girl was going to be my companion, there are no words that I can use that are printable for this women and her partner, I have exausted all my money on medicine and treatment for Syria, and I have to wait for my pension to come in to euthanize her. I wish someone would close this place down they are making money on pain and misery. Marion in Canada

My puppy is beautiful. I love her so. However, she came with falsified health records and... from Colombia. Her health records stated she was born in feb with all the necessary shots; parvo, hep, rabies, etc. Carolina emailed us the "official bullcanes vaccination chart" and she was really born in April! (we got her in June) and she was missing vaccinations. Meanwhile that "vet" signed off on shots that didn't happen or supposedly were given before she was even born. We tried to asked Carolina about the records and all she can say is "it was a mistake, people make mistakes." yeah, 10 times on one piece of paper. As a side note the vet's signature on the bullcanes paperwork was human but the international certificate that has the vet's photo License on it looks like hieroglyphics. Differs signatures, hmm. I love my puppy but age and health are need to know information. Forgiving the fact she's an import and that was not disclosed at time of purchase. Bullcanes' business ethics leaves something to be desired. My heart goes out to the other people that got sick puppies from bullcanes and only by luck is our lil dog isnt sick too.
