Very positive experience with Ari from One of a Kind. Drove from out of town and was able to stay in the tiny home for a night which was great! Always had amazing customer service from Ari and he’s always available to offer his knowledge. You can tell Ari’s business and dogs are his passion and his facility is lovely. Ari rescued my family bulldog for me which was unfortunately no longer a good fit for my lifestyle, and helped me find a perfect match in a sweet female bulldog. Ari’s bulldogs are extremely healthy and athletic, never experienced any health issues.. for example I was able to go on 6 mile hikes with ease! Could not recommend Ari’s business and dogs enough.

One of a Kind Bulldogs is the best place to get your next dog. If you are a bulldog lover go see Ary at One of a Kind he and his team are the best. We got Rocky a rescue 3 weeks ago and with love and training he is an awesome dog. He loves people and other animals, cats, dog’s, birds….

5 stars doesn't do this place Justice. I searched high and low for the perfect olde. I kept going back to arys site.....mind you, I've never met Ary a day in my life, and I live across the country in New York. My bf and I drove Ary crazy for almost a year (although Im 100 percent sure Ary wont admit that....love u Ary) until I finally saw a picture of the dog I wanted. Ary was awesome over the phone and via messenger, helping us along the way, and understanding our craziness. I mean it, I've never met such a patient man!!!!! A week later, our healthy olde English bulldogge was flown over to us in a brand new travelling crates, up to date on shots, food for the first month until we adjusted him to a brand of our choice. We got home very late that night from the airport and Ary still picked up his phone right away when we called him with questions. A year later, and he still answers his phone right away when we call......he is such a knowledgeable breeder and TRULY cares about all of his dogs whether they are still with him or have been placed with a family, calling his establishment a puppy mill is truly a low blow....he runs an operation like I've never seen, even here in New York. It takes a beautiful soul to do what he does with the love that he has. So, thank you Ary for making my little family complete with Tyson the bison, the sweetest bully I've ever had the pleasure of loving. You are amazing!!!! If ur looking for an olde, do yourself a favor and contact Ary, you will not be disappointed in the least bit! Xo

It's taking me a couple weeks to write this but wanted to certainly make sure I took the time to give credit to Ary! I am an ardent dog lover and have been following his business for over 10 years. A few weeks ago he was kind enough to let my husband and I see some dogs. We left their feeling very comfortable, he did not try to just sell us a dog he took his time and talked to us openly and honestly. He is a very ethical business person, truly dedicated to excellence in breeding his dogs, he's very knowledgeable and has the most upscale transparent breeding operation that I've ever seen. His prices are very reasonable and include everything you could want when adopting a dog.He is truly a good person that is not there to try to take your money, he wants to make sure that his dogs go to the right homes and that owners are knowledgeable and prepared when adopting a bulldog. We are getting ready to have a major life change and therefore did not adopt a dog at the time but he was extremely supportive and very helpful throughout the process. He will certainly be my Top Choice for a dog when the time is right.He is prompt, fair, genuine and really has the dogs and his customers best interest at heart. That is hard to find no matter what business you come across nowadays, huge respect to him and all the hard work he has put into his business it really does show. I think that it's one of those businesses that has done so well because when you do the right thing it really shows.

All I can say is “wow”. We are so happy we came to Ary at One of A Kind Bulldogs for our latest member of our family. Our Gibbs is such an amazing and healthy dog. Ary has dedicated his life to these pups and it shows. I wouldn’t suggest anyone else in the San Diego area. If you’re looking for the best, you’re here.

We lost our beloved Jax in Jul22. Wanted to not have anymore dogs as our hearts were broken. Our daughter introduced us to Ary years ago as she had obtained a frenchie Gracie, and Remi ( olde) from him. Well Ary just happened to have a 4month old French Mastiff and her 4month + Olde mammut boyfriend ready for a new home. We made the trip down south from the bay area and couldn't resist. Brought home our Ruby (red lips) and Turk the turkish/turkey. They can't replace Jax but are helping us move forward. They both are such loves with gentle personalities. But Turk is a "bulldogge" Lol. Thank you Ary !!

I have been searching for a responsible frenchie breeder in southern California for quite some time. Then I found "Onr of a Kind Bulldogs" with the owner, Ary. Ary has been very kind and responsive to all my silly questions regarding french bulldog (before and after) since I was the first time dog owner. I drove 1.5 hours one way to the facility and was very satisfied how Ary maintains the facility. He also does rescue/breed for olde english bulldog (this is actually his specialty). I can tell he is truly passionate about his dogs and the breeding industry. I highly recommend - Ary "One of a Kind Bulldogs".

My husband and I found Ary and One of a Kind Bulldogs almost 2 years ago when we purchased our little guy, Bert. From the very beginning Ary was so helpful and let us know the minute one of his pups was available for purchase. My husband and I made our way down to his place and we were so thrilled to see how happy and well cared for his dogs are. The mom of our pup was so friendly and it showed how much love Ary has for his dogs. He was even talking about how he knew it was the last time he would breed one of his girls - that to me showed how he is not in this business to produce as many puppies as he can, but to treat these animals right while providing a quality product for his customers. He even adopts out his dogs to loving families and has a rescue fund for bulldogs in the area. After we got our dog Ary was always there to answer any questions we had about raising a dog and always gave us great advice. He also has a customer appreciation party every year! We have recommended him to many friends of ours and plan on getting our next pup from him one day!

My mother-in-law has two of Ary's dogs. They are both great dogs with wonderful temperaments! They are so full of personality and my kids just adore them! We've stopped by the place quite a few times, often with little to no notice, just to check out the dogs he has and to drop off supplies. The place is always clean and the dogs are very loved.I can't wait until Christmas when I can get one of Ary's puppies for myself!

The owner Ary is a very responsible breeder and cares for his dogs as if they were his kids. When you purchase a puppy from One of a Kind Bulldogs you enter into a family for life. His puppy family is a never ending support group for life. I just love the dog moms and dads on his social media page. We have an Olde named Rocky and a Frenchie named Gigi. The personality and temperament of these dogs are amazing. They bring so much joy and happiness to our family. Thank you Ary for blessing our family with these incredible pups!!

I just purchased my second puppy! Ary is knowledgeable about breeding and genetics. He is committed to preserving quality lines of the breeds. He knows the personality of each dog and puppy. He is passionate about his rescue as well and strives to make sure that all of the dogs find suitable homes. Ary also has a close knit network of clients from all over the country (and beyond) that communicate regularly via a customer Facebook page.

Ary stands out among breeders because taking care of these Bulldogs is truly a passion of his heart! He is so friendly and dedicated to serving his dogs as well as educating his customers. He is there for us, anytime, to give us advice & support when needed- and we bought our dog years ago! The facilities are great, and upon your arrival you are met with an adorable pack of happy pups. Ary also runs a bulldog rescue, which is one of many things that clearly show he is in this business for the love of these Bulldogs and not just to make money. He is a stand-out, sweet man and I would recommend One of a Kind Bulldogs to anyone that asks!

One Of A Kind is just that. The property is the epitome of dog friendly, with a caring staff that loves what they do. We purchased a quality dog with Ary. He makes himself available to his clients 24/7. That is peace of mind. We are already considering a sister pup for our now 1 year old boy! 5 stars for a great breeder, a great business and a great guy!

Ary is a great breeder and takes wonderful care of his animals. It is obvious he cares about his dogs and about the homes that they go to.My husband and I surrendered our Frenchie, who we loved and adored, but who had become overly aggressive. We trusted Ary to take care of our Riley boy, knowing he would find him a great home.Ary is always there for his customers. I have texted him numerous times asking questions and he always replies.I highly recommend One of a Kind Bulldogs for your next dog or for your rescue needs.

On 4th of July weekend 2016 be brought home our girl Hedvig from One of A Kind Bulldogs. Our girl is just amazing! she is so smart, healthy and happy. She has an amazing temper and is a great addition to our family, we cant even imagine our lives without her!We had been in contact with Ary at One of A Kind for about 6 month before we were ready to bring home a puppy. We asked to come to visit him to see his dogs and his ranch, and he was more than happy to show us around and answer all of our questions as first time dog owners, without any kind of pressure about choosing his dogs.Since bulldog breeds can come with some health problems we did a lot of research, and looked up a lot of breeders, and One of A Kind was the last one standing. Ary really knows this breed and he produce amazing, high standard and healthy bulldogs, I would never recommend anyone else than him. We felt so safe and well informed when it was time for us to pic up our puppy. Whenever we have questions, big or small, Ary always pics up the phone to answer. He even has a customer board online where his customers can share information, pictures and advices. Its a wonderful way to stay updated on Hedvigs siblings and all other beautiful pups from Ary.The best decision we ever made was to chose One Of a Kind Bulldogs, we absolutely adore our little girl!

I have owned our Bulldogge for almost four years now and Ary has always been available to help during any questions or concerns that we have had with her. We did extensive research prior to purchasing from this breeder. Ary is very professional and loves every pet he homes. He goes to great lengths to fit the right puppy to the right home. He checks on the puppies he homes to make sure they are doing well and keeps up with their adventures with their new families. I have never met a dog breeder that is as involved with his dogs. I can truly say when we adopted our baby we adopted a whole community that is provided by Ary. I will not purchase from any other breeder than him.

We came across this breeder when researching bulldog puppies, and contacted him to book an appointment to visit. Ary took the time to ask us plenty of questions to determine if this breed would be a good fit in our lives, with our current dog and living situation. I truly felt like he cared about who would be taking his puppies, rather than just trying to sell them to just anyone. Once he realized we were a good fit, he advised us of the sex of the dog he would recommend to get along best with our other dog, and invited us to come visit the same morning. The kennels are huge, clean, and have plenty of toys to play with, including pools to splash around in. We got to meet the older dogs, including some that he had rescued, and we got to see the puppies. He is incredibly cautious about handling the puppies and has the utmost concern that they are healthy and kept safe. Since adopting our girl in January, I've contacted him day and night with questions, and he's always answered within moments. We recently boarded our girl with him while we were on vacation for almost 3 weeks, and he sent us video updates. When we picked her up, she was clean, happy, and even more well behaved than when we left her. Definitely the most consciencious breeder I've come across in many years of being a dog owner. Highly recommend.

I've known Ary for many years, and work closely with him and his puppy buyers in my line of work as a dog trainer. Ary is a breeder who puts utmost priority into his dogs and breeding program. His clients have lovely dogs that are fun and easy to train, which speaks volumes to their genetics and quality. Highly recommend!

I have two Olde English Bulldogs and French Bulldog from Ary’s lines and they are amazing. I have visited his facility and it is top notch. He is the most responsible breeder I have ever met. Once you get a One of a Kind bulldog, you get an entire extended family along with it. We all keep in touch and help each other out with recommendations and advice when needed. And of course, laugh along with everyone’s One of a Kind adventures!

We've gotten two dogs from Ary in the past, Cuddles (a retired breeder) and Charlie (her grandson) And couldn't be happier. The dogs have both been happy and healthy since day one, with no apparent issues either health-wise or socially. Ary himself is a fantastic man and breeder of his dogs, treating them all well and making himself available to his customers (or as we call ourselves, his One of a Kind Family) 24/7 without reservation. He's been a delight to work with and I would DEFINITELY do business again with him in the future!!

We have gotten two rescue dogs through One Of a Kind Bulldogs and have been so impressed! It just so happened that each dog came to us as a second placement after living in homes where they were loved by their humans, but a second dog in the home was becoming increasingly aggressive toward them over time. Of course, only a breeder who truly cares about his dogs would do all of the leg work (pun intended) to find these dogs their fur-ever homes.The One of a Kind Bulldogs foster volunteer that we have worked with both times has been AMAZING. Trish has such a heart for and natural intuition for matching dogs and people, and of course, a heart for placing dogs in homes that would otherwise be euthanized.But don't just listen to a human review--what would the dogs say? Well, this week I took advantage of the kenneling service that One of a Kind Bulldogs offers its customers, and it was so neat to bring our dog back to where she came from. I watched her perk up in the car as we got closer, get out of the car and walk right up to the gate, tail wiggling. The owner Ary came out, bent down and lovingly kissed her on the head, and took her off her leash. She looked at me inquisitively, but followed Ary right inside--no collar required. Wow! This is no puppy mill!I am so impressed with One of a Kind Bulldogs and am excited to refer all of my bulldog-loving friends to them!

One Of A Kind Bulldogs sold us our amazing puppy in February 2017. Ary is an ethical breeder who ensures quality and healthy pups. From the moment I first called Ary to this day, he has been very professional and answers any questions we may have.

We recent added a four legged fur sister to our family from One of a Kind Bulldogs. She is wonderful and Ary has been wonderfully helpful. He did everything he could to make sure our transition went smoothly and Dixie was happy in our home. Not to mention fielding and answering all our questions. We have already recommended One of a Kind Bulldogs to many friends.

I can't put into words how incredible Ary and One of a Kind Dogs have been for my husband and I. We got the love of our life Walter from Ary and not only did he breed a perfect dog with the greatest temperment, but he has been there for every text and every call and question we had along the way. He made it so easy to approach him and you genuinely feel the love from all his dogs. Thank you for making my first experience with a dog the very best!

Ary is absolutely amazing. We got our olde english from the rescue part of the company. We saw her online and she looked perfect for our family. Ari took the time to speak to my husband about any concerns about her adapting to our home abd getting along with our other pets. After speaking to him, we knew that she would work out. Fast forward four years and we love th heck out of our dog. She': amazing with our daughter, any child she meets, our older dog and our cats.I love that Ary keeps in contact with the owners of his dogs, does annual get togethers and is always available. We're always sure to recommend him and know that we will be a repeat customer.

Very helpful and knowledgeable. When you buy a dog here you join a community family of past and current dog owners willing to help. We traveled a long distance to pick up our puppy and Ary invited us to stay on the property over night. We were able to meet and spend time with our puppy prior to the long trip back home

When I was looking for an OEB I called a handful of breeders, first closer to me in Michigan of course. I then found One of a Kind and called to talk to Ary about a few puppies I liked, his experience, etc. Ary spoke to me for almost 2 hours. He impressed me with his passion and commitment to breeding and rescuing dogs. I flew out to San Diego a few days later to pick up my sweet little "monster" Moxie. She's such a beautiful dog and has so much character. Ary, 1.5 years later, is still responsive if I have any questions. I would recommend anyone looking for a top quality breeder of oeb and French bulldogs to call and meet Ary and his puppies. His dogs are well kept, have plenty of room, are socialized and well behaved. He loves his dogs and treats his customers very well.

I usually don't take the time to write reviews, but in this case, it is an exception. I live in CT and 4 years ago we purchased a puppy from One of a Kind Bulldogs. Back then when I first reached out I received best in class service. Since I could not get onsite to see anything he sent multiple pictures and videos of the puppy we were interested in just for us. He even gave me a Veterans discount. Over the past 4 years we have stayed in touch via Facebook, sharing photos and being a member of his customer community. It truly is a community… Once you are a member you are one for life. That says a lot to me about the business that is being run here. Always professional, helpful and you can easily see how much love and care is given to all of the puppies. I am not an expert at all, but I do know this is a business you can trust and will always be there for you. If I sent him a message right now, 4 years later I would get a quick and professional response and not the typical "hey do you want to buy" something. Best in class, if that is what you are looking for as I was.

I have been an Olde English Bulldogge owner for about 8 years. I recently purchased a dog from Ary, and have been extremely pleased with the dog and the ongoing service. This experience ensures that I will not ever be purchasing from another breeder. Ary has always been available to answer any questions I have ever had about my dog at anytime of the day. I live in Texas and when I picked up my new pet he was healthy, smelled great, and had a great temperament... At the time I had a new born and my dog was not getting the attention he needed, so Ary, being the great caring breeder he is paid to have my dog brought back to him and he replaced him in a home that was best for him and also let me keep my credit to purchase when I was ready... If that doesn't tell you the type of breeder he is or the passion he shows or the amount of time he puts into his work I don't know what does...Anyone who says otherwise is a damn liar and there is no way they purchased a dog from One of a Kind or ever visited the site or spoke with Ary... Feel free to email me for verification!!! Great job Ary!!

Our journey with Ary started 3 years ago...we put our deposit down for a puppy that the parents hadn't even bred yet. When it was time for us to pick out our puppy my husband had just gotten laid off. So we couldn't get one out of the litter we wanted. I called Ary to let him know what had happened. He was very understanding about it. Said to let him know when we liked another pup and could get one. A year or so later he called us to let us know about this great litter that had just been born. We instantly got online and picked out our little girl. He is very knowledgeable of the breed and knows what he's doing. He truly loves his dogs and doesn't breed them just for the money. He breeds because he loves the breed and the dogs. I have called and have sent him millions of texts for any questions I have, whether they are little ones or big ones he always answers them. We chose to breed our dog that we got from Ary and used studs of his twice. He helped me the entire way with anything that I needed or had questions on. The second time we bred her we actually drove 13 hrs down to California. His set up is amazing! And how he runs things is second to none. I am truly happy that Ary is who we got our dog from and that we didn't choose someone else. Thank you Ary for all you've done for us and all of your help!!
