Rio Bravo Bulldogges is located in Tehachapi, California.  We are approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours and a half north of Los Angeles near Bakersfield.  We are happy to meet our local customers in either Lancaster or Bakersfield for puppy delivery. 

Rio Bravo Bulldogges has been involved with various bully breeds for over twenty years.  We primarily breed Olde English Bulldogges and we have done so since 1992.  We do have a small English Bantam Bulldogge program that we have been working on for a few years but currently do not offer any pups for sale.

We are always happy to share our 20 plus years of experience with these various bully breeds.  The best way to do so for us is via a telephone call - (661) 203-5654.  Another great source of information is the International Olde English Bulldogge Association as well as the United Canine Association.

It’s simple, give us a call so that we can discuss the details of the puppy that your interested in, our puppy warranty and our terms purchase.  We can be reached at (661) 203-5654. 
Rio Bravo Bulldogges accepts a deposit up to the time that our pups are 4 weeks of age, after 4 weeks of age we require payment in full.  Our deposit amount is half the purchase price of the pup.  All deposits are non refundable but may be transferred to another litter if both parties agree to doing so.  A deposit is a commitment by both Rio Bravo Bulldogges and the buyer and should not be given if the buyer has concerns or doubts.

No, all deposits are non refundable and no monies will be returned.  We will consider transferring the deposit to another litter if both parties can agree to doing so.  We do not guarantee to do so.

Yes we do.  We can ship puppies worldwide.  Over the last 20 plus years we have shipped pups to every state in the United States and over 15 countries including Canada, Australia, Mexico, Germany, Austria, Brazil, Kuwait, Indonesia, Antilles, Bahamas, El Salvador, Czech Republic, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Ukraine, Japan, Philippines, South Korea, Bolivia, Dominican Republic, Paraguay, Argentina, Venezuela, Peru.  We have never had a puppy death or serious issue shipping our pups.  Shipping can be difficult and even stopped during the hottest times of the year, due to airline heat restrictions.  This depend on the destination airport.

Shipping cost depends on the weight of the puppy and the crate size.  Puppies are shipped after 8 weeks of age as per the law.  All puppies will be taken to our vets Dr. Freng or Dr. Komin of Tehachapi Animal Hospital for a full exam and check up.  If our veterinarian  deem the puppy to be of good health he will then issue a certified Health Certificate that will be shipped with the pup.  This is a requirement of the airlines and is just good to have anyways.  .
We do not charge any additional fees (gas or transport) other than the airline transport fees, which is roughly $190 and can usually be paid when you pick the pup up at your airport, the cost of the crate ($60) and the cost of a certified health certificate ($65).

Our puppies are usually in the $1500 to $2000.  Our price per pup is determined by who the parents are and the quality of the pup as we see it. 

We accept credit cards, checks, money orders and bank transfers.  All checks and money orders must clear before a pup is shipped.  We do not accept payments for more than the actual cost of the pup (scams).

We usually list our planned breedings HERE or you can give us a call and we will be happy to discuss our future planned breedings.

No, I'm sorry we do not.  We are small hobby breeder and we do not have a place of business, our dogs are kept in and at our home.  We have learned the hard way over our 20 plus years of breeding that is critical for our pups health and safety that we maintain as sterile an environment as possible.  There are several extremely lethal viruses that can be passed to a pup via contact or just being in the general proximity of the pups.  Our main concern is always parvovirus which is an airborne virus that is highly contiguous and almost always fatal in the case of a young pup.   Parvo can be carried on ones person, clothing and shoes.  We highly recommend that new pups be isolated from high traffic dog areas such as dog parks, pet stores, etc until the pup is approx 16 weeks of age and has received at least 4-5 vaccinations.

We will provide lots of pictures of our available pups via this site and email.  We prefer to speak to new owners via a phone call so that we may better assist them with selection of their new puppy and to educate them on our breed and its suitability into their family if needed. 

Yes, we are happy to provide customer references of past customers that have purchased puppies from Rio Bravo Bulldogs as well as those of our veterinarian.

 Rio Bravo Bulldogges has gone to great lengths over the years to insure that all of the Bulldogges used in our breeding program are healthy and of sound temperaments and thus have no known inherent health or temperament issues.  We are extremely critical of the dogs used in our breeding program and screen our dogs accordingly.  That having been said all Rio Bravo Bulldogge puppies come with a 1 year health warranty that covers major congenital issues such as severe hip dysplasia, heart issues, etc and all of our puppies come with a lifetime temperament warranty.   Our puppy contract explains our health and temperament guarantees in greater details.

Yes they do.  We proudly register all of our Bulldogges with both the International Olde English Bulldogge Association (IOEBA) and the United Canine Association (UCA).  These two registries are the two most widely accepted and recognized for our breeds.  Both of the IOEBA and the UCA offer conformation shows nationally and on a regular basis.

All Rio Bravo puppies are routinely vaccinated with a Progard 5-1 vaccine at 6 and 8 weeks of age.  Our puppies are regularly wormed at 4, 6 and 8 weeks of age with Strongid T wormer.  These are not complete vaccinations just the first two sets.  We recommend an additional 3 - 4 vaccinations in two week intervals.  Your regular veterinarian will usually determine a vaccination schedule for your new pup.
