Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Mel’s Puppy Paw located in Missouri. We work hard to produce healthy, well-rounded Bulldogs puppies that will make others as happy as our dogs have made us! We treasure each puppy in our program and give them all the attention and care that we possibly can. We work hard so our puppies can leave our home with confidence, ready to take on the world with their new family!
