A great resource

I have found champ dogs an excellent resource for researching buying a pedigree puppy. 3 years on and I have now chosen champ dogs to register my own girl, and advertise her impending litter. I’m a little daunted by technology but they were very helpful in assisting me with using their website. Their response time even over the weekend is fabulous and we have had a fantastic level of interest to advertising our puppy litter.

We have been associated with Champdogs…

We have been associated with Champdogs for 4 years and can truly say that breeding would not be the same without Champdogs. Honest and reliable French Bulldog information and care. Vigorous health testing checks to enable quality breeding and sales. I would only ever purchase dogs from this website after knowing the steps involved to breed assured puppies.

Looking For The Healthy Puppy

Looking for a puppy can be Daunting, worrying you might be dealing with Puppy Farms , unchecked Dam and Sire Health Tests etc.
So we decided to Look At Champdogs and we're really impressed with the knowledge provided by themselves and the Breeders selling Puppies.Champdogs Website is fantastic to use, you can learn what Breeders are selling, what Studs are available etc and so easy to follow .
We really liked the fact , for a small fee 10.95 ,we could go onto their priority list for 6 months.We have been so lucky to have found our Darling boy within a week of going onto the list.
The Breeder is well known to the Showing world , Pups mum and Dad have both been health tested , we actually met Mums Daughter she had from her last litter, 14 months old , Beautiful like her Mum 🩷 and his Dad is a UK Champion 💙_ so _ we are over the moon with Finding our tiny boy.
Emailing with Champdogs Admin was a pleasure , pointed us in the right direction, when needed, nothing too much trouble when you ask a question.
If you are looking for a Puppy I would thoughly recommend CHAMPDOGS.

A tale of 2 breeders

Had a horrible and actually disturbing experience with a breeder. She stopped communicating with us multiple times during the process and blamed Champdogs website, then quoted us the wrong number of puppies in the litter, then quoted us the price late in the process and said via text, "oh sorry, I should have told you earlier" and then asked us if that was a problem. My partner then said, "no, it was more than we were expecting, let me just make sure it's ok with my partner. Would you be willing to lower your price at all?"

The breeder, Elaine Ward (BRIALAINE) then immediately texted my partner verbatim, "You're no longer getting a puppy."

My partner was shocked, as I was and texted back, "Hold on Elaine, I'm not asking you to lower your price or at all implying the puppies are worth less than your asking price, it was just more than we were expecting and you've only just told us the price. It shouldn't be an issue, let me just call my partner."

Didn't matter, Elaine Ward blocked my partner after leaving some condescending messages.

I called her up to clear up the confusion. Elaine answered, and I said, Hi, Elaine? You were speaking with my partner earlier and I think there's been a misunderstanding. Please tell me what you and she discussed and I think we can clear-" and she cut me off and said, "never have I been insulted in all my years." She hung up on me.

She then texted me and said, "don't call me. I hope you and your partner find a >cheaper< puppy."

Class act.

I reported it to the site and offered all email and text correspondence but Champdogs owner Mark Roach emailed me directly and said it was just "one of those things" and offered no help. He also told me to delete my Trustpilot review to avoid legal action.

I will post any responses received by Champdogs directly here to avoid the email intimidation I received before. People have the right to tell their honest experiences, Mark.

Now, the good...we did find a great breeder on Champdogs. And a great puppy.

This does not negate the negatives of my experience, but I hope others have a better experience because it is possible on this platform.

Vet your breeder because in my situation, Mark Roach provided zero help and then threatened me with legal action after posting a negative review. You need to fend for yourself and vet your breeder.

Notice all the reviews are 5 stars or 1 star? Nothing in between...

I enquired about a male German Shepard…

I enquired about a male German Shepard puppy and at first I asked if there was a male puppy, the lady was helpful and sent me photo's, I was really happy with the photos and then messaged to see if she could send me a video of the puppy running around, perhaps with his mum & dad, I waited 2 days and didn’t receive a reply so then I messaged again to say that I know she was busy but would there be any chance we could see a video, as this was the last thing we needed to see to make our final decision of whether we wanted to buy the puppy or not. We would have been travelling from Walsall (West Midlands) to Kent so we wanted to make sure we were 100% happy before we went to view and collect the puppy.
I received a text messaging saying that her husband had rehomed the puppy yesterday and that he was no longer available. I sensed that this woman really had no interest in actually wanting to give the puppies away, and that she has now made this excuse of rehoming the puppy to fob us off. Be carefull from this website, it’s not all it’s made out to be.

Thank you for leaving this review it is appreciated. We are sorry to hear that your enquiries with one of our breeders has not resulted in a puppy on this occasion. As you can appreciate breeders are extremely busy when they have a litter to care for, and because of this unfortunately there can be delays in responses from them. And during these delays puppies can be reserved and become unavailable when they were available before. Each breeder will have a different system of how they deal with enquiries for their litters, we hope that next time your enquiries will result in a new addition to your family.

ZERO STARS

ZERO STARS - BEWARE OF SCAM BUSINESS
This is a terrible website. They take your money and then don't publish your advert. Incredibly dishonest and only after the money.

Hi Natalie

I am sorry to hear you feel we have been dishonest however nothing could be further from the truth.

Your membership payment has not yet been processed as we are still awaiting a response to our questions regarding your dog's health test results. We haven't taken any money from you and will not do so unless your litter meets the criteria to be published on Champdogs.

Please contact admin at Champdogs with a reply to the questions we have asked and we will then be able to resolve this matter.
