Currently the reputation of dogs from Russia is being ruined by greedy operators who breed dogs motivated solely by profit, and internet scammers who thrive on fraud. These people are not professionals and they do not care about dogs or customers.
These days a lot of people are importing dogs from Russia and Ukraine. For a quick buck, they breed and sell substandard dogs, thus flooding the market with sick and aggressive puppies. Some of these breeders do not even provide a health guarantee and registration. Good luck with that puppy!
This has caused a negative public perception as well as problems with US Public Health Services and Centers for Disease Control.
However, with a little education, it is easy for a perspective bulldog owner to steer clear of these questionable breeders, and ensure that the puppy purchased will be a happy and healthy one. Here are a few things to keep an eye out for:
1) Does the puppy have a health guarantee?
If the breeder is not willing to provide you with a health guarantee, as is the standard, you have to ask yourself how confident they are in the puppy they are selling to you.
2) Does the puppy have AKC/FCI registration?
The only way you can be sure that your puppy conforms to the breed standards is by knowing that your puppy has the necessary registration. For US bred puppies this would be AKC, and FCI for imported puppies. Again, if the puppy you are purchasing is not registered, you have to ask yourself whether this is because the breeder wanted to save $60 on the registration fee, or because there are more serious reasons for this (breeder expulsion by the kennel club/puppy not conforming to the breed standard i.e. eye color, coat color, size). A puppy not conforming to the breed standards, has no breed value, and will not be registered by any kennel club. I have seen some breeders from Florida get away with charging $3000 for a blue eyed bulldog puppy. Research the breed before you buy!
There was another scam with a ”show potential puppy” at age 2 to 8 weeks old.
It is impossible to detect show quality on puppy less than 6 months of age andnot by those deli tans for sure. A bulldog puppy goes through dramatic transformation.
Show potential depends on standard factors of a particular breed or even bloodline. NOT ON PERSONAL PERCEPTIONS OF DELI TANS
(for a crocodile mother her own babies are beautiful too)
So if I have 5 puppies only 1 could be best.
Ask all the questions before you place nonrefundable deposit.
Please people stop destroying reputations of hard working breeders from Europe, by lying, disgracing and greed. Do something in your life, what you can do the best.

Some Tips
Each imported puppy requires positive identification—tattoo. The group of 3 letters represents a kennel registration. A number would show how many puppies have been registered and sold by a particular kennel.
- Low-income breeder cannot provide good care for dogs or raise a quality litter. Due to expense on vet care (it is not free anymore) and food (20 kg—$50 and up depending on brand)
2. How long the breeder has been in business?
- The business that imports the dogs? How much do they know about bulldogs, puppies (breeder and parents)? Who is a supplier (broker or breeder directly)?
4. In which terms is a health guarantee provided? Do not select the puppy from a picture of 2 weeks old. Even the breeder would not guarantee free of defects until puppy walks and eats independently—about 45 days old. Additionally, heart problems and displacia are diagnosed after six month. That's why it is important to have guarantee coverage for no less than 1 year.
