We love our dogs and puppies, and we strive to place each pup in a home suited to their temperament and ability.
Q. & A. with Daniel
Why did you start breeding?
I had a friend who had one of the first bulldogs I’ve ever seen. She was sweet and funny. Her stubborn attitude always kept me laughing. One day he decided to have puppies and I helped whelped them. I realized that the same attention & dedication I had for my patients, I also had for the puppies. It came natural to me so I knew this was my calling. Plus I couldn’t resist the puppy breath. Haha.
What makes your program special?
The love, affection, and dedication I commit to my program. I believe in ethical breeding. I breed to enhance the health of the breed. My focus is to create happy loving healthy beautiful puppies. I choose my families with care so that I know my puppies will be loved. My program is my heart and I take care of it as such.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Bulldog puppies include white, red brindle and white, red brindle, red and white, fawn and white, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

I had the best experience with Golden Leaf Kennels. Daniel was super responsive and answered all of my questions. He was super friendly and a top notch professional. We set up a video chat where I could meet him and my new best friend, Franky. Daniel coordinated transportation for my little guy from North Carolina, all the way to interior Alaska. They kept me updated every step of the way. Franky arrived in good spirits and has quickly adapted to his new family. I cannot recommend Golden Leaf Kennels high enough. This was my first time using an app to search for a pet. My experience was amazing. Thanks you!!

Daniel thank you so much for my big bundle of
joy Simba. He is perfect and completes our family. I greatly appreciated your professionalism, the constant contact with information about Simba and how you sent photos, videos and allowed me to see him at anytime I asked. Your expertise and knowledge was a constant in the way you cared for your pups ensuring that you had information about who and where he was being placed to include a video chat to see and talk with me before sending paperwork for me to buy Simba. That was top notch for me and allow me to be at ease with Simba being with you for his care until you handed him over to me.
I strongly recommend Daniel with “Good Dog” to anyone out there who is looks for a beautiful pure bred English Bulldog. Believe me you will be getting the best of the best in your new puppy. If I could give 100 stars for his rating I would because that is what he deserve.
