Taylor from Illinois Bullies Kennel was great! She was incredibly responsive and accommodating. She was very knowledgeable about the breed and provided awesome information to me, who had not had a bulldog before. My new lovable companion Tulip is amazing!! She is a very happy dog with a great disposition. Taylor went out of her way to accommodates my needs for delivery and provided an awesome puppy pack. I highly recommend Illinois Bullies Kennel for your next English Bull Dog puppy.
