I'm Julie K., the breeder behind Happy Wrinkles located in Burlington, NC. We love to responsibly raise and train English Bulldogs so they have the tools to be well-rounded, beloved family members. We commit ourselves towards preparing each one of our puppies to thrive in their new homes, and we enjoy working with their new families so that they can raise their cute companions with confidence!
Q. & A. with Julie
Why did you start breeding?
It was my boyfriend's dream to do as he retired from the workforce. I am a retired teacher and lifelong dog lover. He has made me fall in love with these squishy faced, adorable, stubborn, lovable, creatures!!! I love watching them grow from birth to going home to the smiling faces of a new family filled with excitement of having a new bully in their home!!
What makes your program special?
We strive to place every puppy in a happy and healthy home even if we have to work with someone on payments. We would rather place them in a good home and have to wait a while on our payment than to put them somewhere we may have doubts about. We also have tried to give back each time we have a litter, for example, giving a break on price to a family in need of a bulldog for their Autistic son. We love and enjoy this breed tremendously and want others to have that same experience.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, fawn, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
