The process was really smooth! Our English bulldog puppy has been such a blast for the first week or so that we've had him & he’s so adorable! The only concern that we have is that our dog came with Kennel Cough. An unnecessary expense that our breeder, Morgan, should have taken care of before we received our puppy. We did not have any medicine for it other than some vitamins, & his condition has gotten much worse. We have taken him to the vet to start our puppy on antibiotics. Other than that, the process was very reliable, professional, & responsive. 9/10 would recommend.

My guy is 8 and in perfect shape! Just updating this ! My guy is gonna be ten in April. Didn’t have any health problems till the last year or so and it’s just been skin and ears- nothing that any old dog wouldn’t have. He’s been bred perfectly and is the most spoiled dog in history. The neg comments below appear to be from very lonely angry people or ‘woke’ idiots trying to look for a ‘cause’ to compensate for the fact they have no job or life. I called Morgan today and she answered all my questions - nearly ten years since I’ve given her a dime . Matt G

Romeo will turn 11 this December. His father was Searg and his mother was Sweetvine. Morgan was great to work with. She was patient and thorough with all of our questions when we first got him. My recommendation to any bulldog owner is to be sure to have a vet who truly knows and loves the breed. Bulldogs are known to have more health issues than some other breeds, but they can certainly live long healthy lives, especially if they have a healthy start to their life. Morgan will be honest and open to discuss any health concerns you may have, as well as give vet recommendations or general info. I’ve met many bulldogs from Sugarplum and they all seem to always look more healthy than your traditional “Winston Churchill” type Bullie, and I believe that is what she has been going for. I love my dog and we are forever grateful to Morgan for doing all the work she does for this amazing breed.

I will definitely recommend sugarplum to whoever is looking to purchase a bulldog. You can tell Morgan is a professional and takes really good care the pups while in her care. from purchase to delivery everything ran smooth. We will dependently purchase another bulldog from her in the near future.

I purchased my English bulldog in August 2014. The entire process of purchasing her as well as picking her up at the time was incredibly simple. All the animals there seemed to be very happy, well cared for, and healthy. When I am ready to purchase another English bulldog, I WILL be getting it from sugarplum bulldogs.

Years ago, I visited the Sugarplum farm in Purcellville and fell in LOVE with the bulldogs. Since then I’ve been saving up money and preparing to buy one this year. I reached out at the end of March asking for info about her new process and she was extremely responsive. I also told her I was looking for a certain head shape and she was super willing and responsive about the sires. The second that I asked a question about the Mom’s and their head shapes she went radio silent. I emailed twice and called twice over the span of 2 months with no response. I was not pushy or unkind, In fact I led each communication with grace acknowledging that she must be busy, and still no response. This made me think about why she might be concealing information about her female bulldogs. I began to feel very uncomfortable about this business and putting a deposit down on a breed that is known for genetic health issues without any information on one of the parents. Even if you are comfortable with that, I think it’s important to note that if Morgan doesn’t want to answer your question, she is more than willing to ignore you. I know Morgan reads these reviews, so perhaps she will provide an explanation about the female bulldogs she breeds on here, as I was not able to receive an answer myself.

Couldn't imagine life without Ming Ming (formerly Tootsie). I got her back in 2016 from Morgan and her helper, I'm forgetting his name, and they were both great. I had made an appointment to come check out the puppies and they let me sit with them for a couple hours before making a decision so I didn't feel rushed and definitely made the right choice. She is about 42 pounds and looks much smaller than most other bullies. Ming did have a lot of health problems her first year but I was prepared for this since everything I read on bulldogs said this was a high probability. I HIGHLY recommend learning about the Elongated soft palate surgery!!!!!! It was life changing for Ming Ming who suffered from pneumonia a few times in her first year. She had to go to the ER a twice and a lot of the vets didn't know how to stop this from happening until I found out about that surgery.

I have to say, sugarplum gets a bad rep. I bought Maya (Aggie) about two years ago. She is the most energetic loving bulldog I could have asked for. She has the sweetest temperament and is a wonderful addition to the family. Great around kids and other dogs. Already recommended this place to others. I feel like a lot of the complaints here are directed at problems the breed faces holistically and/or problems that are inherent to purchasing a puppy. Couldn’t be happier. Although, this dog sheds more than any other dog I’ve ever had, her sweetness makes up for it.

3.6 is not a raving review. Work on your self and treat your dogs better!

Definitely a puppy mill. She has some farm in Missouri and you never get to see the parents. Our bully had nothing but temperament issues, and its sad. We were accidentally referred here and its the biggest mistake we ever made. Sad...stay away from this mill.

I purchased a blue and white male bulldog 3 weeks ago. He is doing great. He is a wonderful addition to our family. He is very healthy. Everything went smoothly from purchase to delivery. I couldn’t be happier.

We have a sugar plum bulldog that we got from Morgan in February 2011 when we lived in Washington DC. He is a member of our family, has been a wonderful pet, and we love him dearly but I DO NOT RECOMMEND working with Sugar Plum Bulldogs. This is an unethical business that does not represent itself in a straightforward way that plays fast and loose with their dogs' wellbeing. In 2011 we were naive and wide-eyed optimists and all too desperate to find a bulldog to join our family. We didn't ask hard questions and we came to regret it. Looking back, there were so many things that should have raised red flags. She told us that she was a breeder, and yet when we arrived she shifted the story to say that she was in the process of setting up as a breeder, and converting her space. On the phone she never made it clear that the puppies she had were from out of state, we came to find out ours was from Missouri, bred by a woman whose name we found had multiple liens against her for bad business practices. If you are wondering why I'm writing this review after so many years it's because I have had mixed feelings. Winston the bulldog is a constant joy, and I regret nothing (even though he needed multiple surgeries in the months after we bought him because of a congenital hernia that every vet we saw said demonstrated that the breeder had been irresponsible). Even after thousands of dollars in vet bills, I do not regret choosing Winston, but what I regret and wish I could change is ever having supported this unethical business.

Have had our baby for almost a year and the most amazing EB ever. Very responsive, white glove delivery, and exactly as promised. He is a "smaller" of the breed which we love. We knew about the midwest birthing facility and even had someone in the 'biz' check them out. Would highly recommend them for sure. Especially if you want a medium to smaller EB.

We have had our healthy and FABULOUS bulldog, Luna, for almost 3 years. She is full of energy, personality, and fun! She is our first English Bulldog but definitely won't be the last as long as Morgan is the breeder. Luna has only needed her well visits to the vet and spaying. Do not hesitate to work with Morgan and Sugarplum Bulldogs to find a wonderful pup!

I'm the owner of Sugarplum Bulldog Exodus (formerly Guinness) born on 06/10/2020. Though I had never seen the breeding facilities myself and cannot speak on the quality of such, I can tell you that this is one extremely healthy, happy bulldog! Having been home two weeks now he has received an exceptional bill of health after a new puppy inspection with my veterinarian that I have been going to for over a decade, is fully crate trained, and getting consistently better potty training. I was the first stop on the East Coast the day he was dropped off (I opted for ground transportation) and was able to see all 17 puppies being transported the weekend of 08/14/2020 and can say that they were all very alert, excited, and appeared to be healthy and clean despite the 13-hour ride they had just endured to make it as far as they had. Obviously Exodus has a long way to go and some problems are bound to pop up given the nature of the breed itself (which you should ABSOLUTELY research in depth along with potential pet insurance before purchasing any dog but especially a Bulldog as they are prone to many issues). That being said, I wanted to write this review in-depth because this is the first dog I have ever bought from a breeder and I had major apprehension doing so without visiting the facilities and whatnot first, but my experience has been very good start to end and I based on such I would highly recommend Sugarplum Bulldog thanks to the quality of the little guy who's now a part of my family. I can't speak for others' experiences, but I hope this and the attached images help to clear up some of the posts that made me initially question Sugarplum Bulldogs, as I am an actual owner of one and am speaking only on my experiences as such. Hope this helps!

I love Sugarplum Bulldogs! Morgan has been wonderful - so knowledgeable and responsive! We are fortunate to have 2 babies from Sugarplum. We got our first four years ago, and our second just last week. Although our newer addition was a little sick when she arrived, Morgan was very responsive and took care of everything. Years ago, when we were looking for our first bulldog, I unknowingly talked to a couple of sellers who turned out to be selling on behalf of what I assume were puppy mills. They were high pressure selling and not very knowledgeable about the puppies except for the basics. Thankfully we found Sugarplum Bulldogs! We were able to visit Morgan’s farm and find our first English bulldog puppy. We even already used the same vet. So when we brought our puppy in for his first vet check-up, they immediately asked if he is a Sugarplum because they know her dogs! When we were ready to get a 2nd one, there was no question we would contact Morgan! I know it is scary to get a pet sight unseen, but I would encourage anyone to talk to Morgan. She knows so much about her dogs and the breed – she is so helpful! And if there are any issues, my experience has been that she is very honest and will make it right. We could not be happier with our bulldogs (pictured here with our rescue pet puggle), and we are so happy to work with Morgan and Sugarplum Bulldogs!!!

Morgan answered all my questions with kindness and professionalism every time I reached out to her. I was able to reach her via phone and email. She was very patient with all my questions as this was my first time purchasing a bulldog. She even offered to answer my questions if I didn't purchase a pet from her.

PUPPY MILL - STAY AWAY. Sugar Plum works with a puppy mill in Missouri where the animal welfare laws are not strict. The dogs are then transported to VA to a nice, clean farm. You don't see the dogs that are bread and what is going on behind the scenes. We bought a puppy that had a heart murmur. We brought the puppy back and were given another puppy. She had 4 surgeries to get her to be okay before her first birthday. Our sweet baby passed away two weeks ago at the young age of four. We spent over $20,000 and are left with nothing but grief. We kept in touch with the lady who adopted her brother. He died a few weeks ago from cancer. 4-years-old! Our friends, who we mistakenly referred to Sugar Plum, have two dogs from there. One has had two CCL repairs and the other, also 4-years-old, was just diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. Prognosis is not good. Bullies should not require surgery after surgery to make them okay and only live to be 4. Please, don't put yourself through the heartache we are going through. ALSO - STAY AWAY FROM RARE COLORS.

DO NOT buy a puppy from Sugerplum Bulldogs. I made the mistake and purchased a puppy and he died 3 weeks after he was delivered to our home. His name was Bodhi and we loved him very much.. Bodhi died Thursday night 11/19/20.. My family and I were devastated after loosing our puppy Bodhi. I think of him and cry every day, but he’s gone now and I’m trying to accept it. The night Bodhi died he was playing with his toys in the kitchen and during this time he was gasping for air. I immediately drove him to the animal hospital and the doctors said he was turning blue and wasn’t getting any oxygen. The doctors sedated him and put him on a ventilator. X ray showed no object blocking his air way. 10 minutes later my puppy Bodhi died on the table. I am not a animal doctor but I believe my puppy was sickly from the day he was delivered to our home, not to mention Morgan owner of Sugerplum had my puppy delivered to us at 7 weeks old which is a direct violation of the breeding laws. I called Morgan the night my puppy died and told her what happen. Morgan did not care and she had no sympathy whatsoever. I asked for a full refund and her response was it’s not covered under her 12 month guarantee genetics only. So basically I lost a puppy we loved $3000 and a $500 vet bill and Morgan gets away with it. Way to go Morgan hope your happy. Who would ever think your puppy would die after 3 weeks of having him.. doesn’t make any scene but I believe Bodhi was always sick and just never new it. To everyone do not buy a puppy from Sugerplum find a local breeder who loves there animals and are not in it for the money. RiP Bodhi broken hearted Ray

Purchased a puppy less than six months ago for a friend recovering from cancer! She was at the vet at least once a week! Last night she had to be put down 5 months old! If all your puppies don’t live to be a year? I’ve been reading reviews none say anything about older dogs! Is 5 months the life expectancy? Just long enough to fall totally in Love!

Purchased a puppy from Sugar Plum a while back and he died within the first 2 weeks. We spent over 7 grand bringing him to different vets trying to keep him alive. When we contacted the breeder she tried to blame us for not taking proper care of the puppy. All of the vets that we brought him to said there was nothing more we could have done as owners to keep him alive. I was not planning on writing a review but I really do not want people to go though what my family went through. Please avoid this place.

I bought my puppy from this place two months ago and have yet to hear from the owner/ manager after MULTIPLE attempts to contact them with some follow up questions. I absolutely love my sweet fur baby, but I would never buy from them again nor reccomend them.
