Meet the breeder

I'm Arika S., the breeder behind Lafayette Bulldogs & Boxers located in Moore, 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 Frenchies 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 French Bulldog 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 Boxer puppies include fawn and brindle. Bulldog puppies include lilac tri-color, chocolate tri-color, blue tri-color, black tri-color, fawn, red and white, and 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.

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    Arika was great to work with. Im glad I found her . I have been searching for a particular colored Boxer and after a couple of heartbreaks, I found Arika. She was responsive to my emails, provided more pictures and videos when I asked for more. Offered FaceTime/ Zoom calls if desired . Updated me on Vet visits for pups with pictures at the Vet. Going through GoodDog made payments easy & secure with payment guarantee. Arika was flexible with meeting place for pickup. We brought Jessie 🐾 home yesterday and she is beautiful and such a sweet girl. 🐾💜 The Harman Family

    Arika was so knowledgeable and helpful. She walked me through every step of the process. She genuinely cares about her puppies that come out of her program. She went above and beyond to ensure my new addition and experience was everything I was expecting and more! I would highly recommend Lafayette bulldogs to anyone looking for a new puppy!

    I couldnt have scripted a better experience. Arika was the epitome of kind and professional. She was quick to answer any and all questions, and went way beyond my expectations in providing a starter package to get things going on the right paw with our new family member, Ham Sammich 😊
