I'm Arika S., the breeder behind Lafayette Bulldogs & Boxers located in Aiken, SC. We are an in-home program where our dogs are our companions first and foremost. We are dedicated to providing each of our puppies with loving and caring forever homes. By creating an environment of health and harmony for young puppies, we believe we are able to give each little pup the very best chance to reach its potential, express its best character, and bring forth its greatest gifts in the relationship with itself and to its family.

Q. & A. with Arika

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We wanted to put our passion for Bulldogs & Boxers to good use. Breeding healthy, happy puppies is our way to give back to the breed and the families who love them. We want nothing more than to see each of our dogs and puppies shine! It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and we are so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.
  • What makes your program special?

    We spoil each of our puppies with personal attention and lots of group playtime. We are enthusiastic about our program and look forward to advancing the wonderful qualities of the Bulldogs & Boxers with a focus on health, temperament, and structure! Our commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience, and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Bulldog puppies include lilac tri-color, chocolate tri-color, blue tri-color, black tri-color, fawn, red and white, and fawn brindle and white. Boxer puppies include fawn, brindle, and white. French Bulldog puppies include cream, fawn, tricolors, blue fawn, black and white, blue, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    Arika was absolutely phenomenal! After talking with multiple breeders before her and having a high level of discomfort and being concerned of getting scammed. Arika really put me at ease. She had great reviews, her contract was mutually beneficial and read like a breeder who takes care of their pups and truly believes in their breeding practices. It’s been 10 years since we had a dog, and she was very personable vs transactional. She provided weekly check ins and pictures and never hesitated when I asked for something additional. She makes you feel like a partner in the process and a couple weeks in to taking our Cosmo home she’s still checking in which further validates her being reputable and caring about the puppies. Our Cosmo is a sweet boy and we are enjoying our new life with him, he has made a 12 year olds birthday very special. I highly recommend Arika and her family.

    I told Arika that I was honestly scared of this process. I have never done anything like this before. Arika made it seamless, comfortable, trustworthy, and professional. She answered any questions that I had, and still does. I had the most wonderful experience with Arika, and have the most beautiful puppy. ANYONE who wants a beautiful, healthy boxer puppy should go through Lafayette Bulldogs and Boxers. 20 out of 5 stars!!!

    I could not have found a more professional, caring and dedicated Dog Lover and Breeder than Arika from Lafayette Bulldogs & Boxers. Arika keep me up to date weekly and when I had questions she would respond immediately. Throughout the process Arika keep me up to date and gave me just in time instruction for next steps and readying me and my home for Coltrane. My new fur baby Coltrane is such a joy. Healthy and well taken care of it was an easy transition picking him up and in his further development. Arika has continued to be a friend and mentor even after her duties were complete. Arika truly has my highest recommendation as a Breeder and Dog Lover! Thank You from the bottom of my heart Arika!

    Arika was the best! When I came across her page and saw all the positive reviews I knew I had to at least reach out. She was so responsive and was so happy to help us and keep us updated of our little puppies health. I knew I could trust her during every step of the adoption process and I’m so grateful we found her. Our puppy fits into our family perfectly!
