I'm Amanda B., the breeder behind Bates Bulldogs located in Searcy, AR. We are lifelong dog enthusiasts, and we’re excited to share our passion and purpose with others through our breeding program. We are a small, in-home breeding program where we prioritize giving each dog and puppy the best care that we can. We cherish all of our animals and enjoy sharing the love of this breed with other individuals and families!
Q. & A. with Amanda
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with French Bulldogs years ago. We started doing a lot of research and wanted to dive into the ins and outs of having a successful program. We wanted to be able to have a family business to create additional income to help out our kids and their future.
What makes your program special?
We are a family that strives to work and invest in our program. We raise our puppies in our home and they are an active part of our family. Due to the size of our family, our puppies get to be socialized with all kinds of different age groups. We are committed to making sure our puppies are set up for success when they enter their new homes.
