Based on my experience buying from them, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone
Based on my experience buying from them, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Years ago, it seemed like they truly cared about their dogs and their customers, but nowadays, everything is terrible. This was my third dog from them—Logan. His DNA results and vet checks were fine according to the paperwork, but when he arrived at six months old, he weighed only 14 lbs; he was nothing but skin and bones, and it was heartbreaking to see him like that. He arrived with an eye infection and respiratory issues requiring throat surgery, plus two bald spots on his body—apparently from another dog's bite—and a scratch on his nose. A month later, he had a red eye and skin issues that turned out to be allergies. We spoke to them hoping for a solution or at least a refund—anything, really, since their dogs clearly aren't healthy—but the only response was, "I'm sorry it didn't meet your expectations." No solution whatsoever. The second dog I bought was raised with love; although I went through them, the actual breeder was in the U.S. and raised the dog with care. Thank God that one arrived in good shape—he wasn't exactly as Tony described, but he was full of love. My first dog from them died at age eight from kidney problems. In my experience, the dogs aren't healthy, and I don't recommend them. Don't rely on photos and videos; there’s a lot of editing these days, plus the camera always adds a little bulk.
Response from TomKings French Bulldog Kennel - New YorkSep 29, 2026
Dear Renier and Naliachi, We are truly sorry to read that you feel this way, especially after being part of the TomKings family for so many years and welcoming three of our puppies into your home. We have been in direct communication with you regarding the concerns about Logan, and we have taken the time to look into the circumstances surrounding his arrival and the issues you shared with us. We also sincerely apologized for the small injuries that were not noticed and communicated before his departure, as transparency with our families is extremely important to us. Logan underwent the required veterinary examinations before traveling, and at that time we had not received any indication that he would require respiratory surgery. When you later shared this concern with us, we asked to remain updated regarding the specialist evaluation so that we could better understand the situation and provide further guidance if needed. We fully understand how upsetting it can be when unexpected health concerns arise. The health and wellbeing of our puppies is extremely important to us, and we put a great deal of care into our health protocols and veterinary screenings. At the same time, when working with living animals, unfortunately not every health issue can be predicted or prevented. This is why we continuously review and improve our health protocols, and we genuinely use feedback, including yours, to identify where our processes can be improved. We are truly sorry that despite our conversations, you were left feeling disappointed with your recent experience. Please know that our support does not end here. We remain available to help with Logan and to provide further guidance whenever needed. Warm regards, The TomKings Puppies Team
