LETTERS FROM OUR PROUD PARENTS
*****FREEDOM BULLDOG PUPPIES
I DID NOT READ WHERE WE COULD REVIEW THE BREEDER UNTIL TODAY! IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE WE BOUGHT OUR BOY CRAIG. I AM SO HAPPY TO REPORT HOW HAPPY WE HAVE BEEN WITH OUR BOY. HE HAS THE BEST PERSONALITY! HE IS BETTER THAN WE COULD EXPECT FROM ANY DOG. WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH HIS HEALTH AND ARE GOING UP TO GET ANOTHER LITTLE GIRL TOMORROW! I CAN'T WAIT! I FOUND THEIR DOGS AND KENNELS VERY CLEAN AND THEY HAVE BEEN VERY HELPFUL, KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND HONEST. I HAVE BEEN ON A WAITING LIST FOR A FEW MONTHS TO GET THIS LITTLE GIRL AND AM SO EXCITED TO ADD THIS LITTLE GIRL TO OUR HOME.......JOYCE, DECEMBER..... 2007
*****THANKS AND PRAISE
I PURCHASED MY FIRST PUPPY FROM JELSI'S THIS PAST SUMMER. WE SPOKE OVER THE PHONE SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL ALL OF MY QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED AND I FELT CONFIDENT. SOON AFTER WE HOPPED IN THE CAR AND DROVE 6 HOURS TO PICK THE LITTLE GUY UP, AND I WAS SO DELIGHTED TO FINALLY SEE HIM! AURI IS A FREEDOM BULLDOG(BOSTON TERRIER/FRENCH BULLDOG), AND HAS THE BEST PERSONALITY IMAGINABLE. HE IS VERY SOCIAL AND LOVES ALL PEOPLE AND DOGS, IN WHICH I THANK JELSI ON DOING SUCH A TERRIFIC JOB SOCIALIZING HIM. TO THIS DATE HE IS ABOUT 6 MONTHS, AND ROUGHLY WEIGHS 30LBS. I WAS SO HAPPY TO TO FIND SUCH A WONDERFUL BREEDER TO WORK WITH, AS WELL AS SUCH A GREAT MIX FOR MY FIRST PET. WE ARE CURRENTLY CONSIDERING ANOTHER PUPPY, POSSIBLY ANOTHER FREEDOM BULLDOG OR FRENCH BULLDOG, AND IT WILL DEFINITELY BE THROUGH JELSI!.......STEVEN, DECEMBER.....2007
*****FABOLOUS
THIS WAS MY FIRST PURCHASE WITH THE BREEDER, AS WELL AS THE WEBSITE. I HAVE HEARD OF SCAMS WHERE PEOPLE PAY FOR THEIR PUPPY AND WAIT AT THE AIRPORT AND THEY NEVER GET THEIR PUPPY, BUT THE JELSI'S WERE WONDERFUL! THEY ANSWERED ALL OF THE MILLION QUESTIONS THAT I HAD AND ALSO GAVE ME TIPS THAT I DIDN'T KNOW. MY PUPPY(FRENCH BULLDOG)CAME IN PERFECT CONDITION, HE IS NOW 4 1/2 MONTHS AND IN PERFECT CONDITION...THANKS JELSI'S PUPPIES!!!!..... NANCY, AUGUST.....2007
*****WONDERFUL!
I PURCHASED A FREEDOM BULLDOG FROM THIS COUPLE IN FEBRUARY, AND WE COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH OUR LITTLE BOY! HE TRULY HAS BROUGHT SUCH A JOY TO MY LIFE. HE IS VERY WELL BEHAVED AND LOVES ALL PEOPLE. HE IS VERY INTELLIGENT AND EASY TO TRAIN. I TAUGHT HIM TO SIT THE SECOND DAY I HAD HIM, AND HE HAD IT DOWN RIGHT AWAY. I TAKE HIM TO THE DOG PARK SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK, AND HE IS SO GOOD WITH ALL THE OTHER DOGS. HE LOVES TO GO ON WALKS AND LET ME USE THE LEASH WITH HIM RIGHT AWAY. HE NEVER CHEWS ON ANYTHING, AND IS JUST SUCH A GOOD BOY. HE REALLY JUST WANTS TO MAKE YOU HAPPY ALL THE TIME. DEFINITELY A CUDDLER. HE SLEEPS IN THE BED BETWEEN US ALL NIGHT AND NEVER GOES TO HAVE ANY ACCIDENTS. WE ALSO HAVE THREE CATS, AND HE WAS SO GOOD WITH THEM RIGHT AWAY. HE HAS BEEN NO TROUBLE AT ALL. I AM THINKING OF PURCHASING A FRIEND FOR MY PUPPY THIS SUMMER, AND DEFINITELY WOULD ONLY BUY FROM THIS BREEDER!.....AMANDA, APRIL..... 2008
*****LENNIE
I'VE BEEN MEANING TO GET ON HERE AND LEAVE A REVIEW. I BOUGHT LENNIE FROM JELSI'S THIS WINTER. HE IS EVERYTHING WE WANTED AND MORE. I'VE BEEN MEANING TO SEND YOU GUYS AN E-MAIL WITH SOME UPDATED PICTURES OF LENNIE HERE WITH US IN PITTSBURGH AS WELL. THIS SELLER WAS EXCELLENT, KEPT GIVING ME UPDATES ON THE SHIPPING BECAUSE IT WAS SO COLD IN IOWA WHEN I BOUGHT HIM. THANKS AGAIN AND I WILL E-MAIL YOU SOME UPDATED PICS OF LENNIE VERY SOON.......MIKE, MAY.....2008
*****AMAZING BREED
WE PURCHASED BRUISER, A FREEDOM BULLDOG, FROM JELSI PUPPIES IN JANUARY OF 2007. WE COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER BREED. HE HAS SUCH A CLOWNY PERSONALITY AND HAS NOTHING BUT UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR US. HE HAS NEVER HAD ANY HEALTH PROBLEMS AND ALTHOUGH HIS FARTS CAN BE DEADLY AND SNORES TOO LOUD TO FALL ASLEEP, IT IS ALL WORTH IT! WE ARE NOW THINKING ABOUT ACQUIRING A SISTER FOR BRUISER AND I WOULDN'T THINK TO LOOK ANYWHERE ELSE OTHER THAN JELSI PUPPIES......ASHLEY, SEPTEMBER.....2008
*****THANK YOU
WE GOT OUR PUREBRED FRENCHIE, LULU, FROM JERRY AND JEANNIE RIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING AND WE HAVE BEEN MEANING TO POST A REVIEW UP FOR AWHILE. THEY WERE WONDERFUL AT KEEPING IN TOUCH WHETHER IT WAS THROUGH EMAILS OR BY PHONE. THEY ALWAYS PATIENTLY ANSWERED ALL OF OUR MANY QUESTIONS AND FOR THINGS THEY DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE WILLING TO FIND OUT FOR US! LULU ARRIVED TO US IN PORTLAND, OR, SAFE AND SOUND AND IN EXCELLENT HEALTH. SHE IS A WELL SOCIALIZED PUPPY AND HAS BEEN WONDERFUL! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BREEDER AND ARE WILLING TO BE A REFERENCE FOR ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN BUYING FROM THIS BREEDER.......CALVIN, JANUARY 5,2009
*****HAPPY CUSTOMER
WE ARE WRITING TO THANK YOU, NOT FOR A NEW PUPPY THAT WE PURCHASED FROM YOU, BUT INSTEAD FOR A WONDERFUL BOSTON TERRIER WHO CAME INTO OUR LIVES FROM YOUR FARM OVER 11 YEARS AGO.
LEXI WAS JUST A LIVELY PUPPY-ONE OF YOUR ORIGINAL JELSI"S GRANDDAUGHTER'S-WHEN WE PURCHASED HER. SHE HAS BEEN A TRUE JOY IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. WE LOST HER JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS, BUT EVEN IN OUR GRIEF AT LOSING A TRUE MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY, WE WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL FOR THE GREAT DOG SHE WAS.
FIRST OF ALL, SHE WAS BEAUTIFULLY MARKED AND PROPORTIONED. WHEN WE WALKED HER IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, PEOPLE WHO "KNOW BOSTONS" OFTEN STOPPED TO COMMENT ON HOW GOOD SHE LOOKED. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, SHE HAD A DELIGHTFUL AND LOVING PERSONALITY. SHE WANTED NOTHING MORE THAN TO SIT BY US WHEN WE READ OR WATCHED TV. AND, OF COURSE, SHE WANTED TO BURROW UNDER THE COVERS WITH US EVERY NIGHT!
UNTIL SHE BECAME ILL, SHE ALWAYS KEPT HER PUPPY ENERGY AND CURIOSITY. SHE NEVER BARKED EXCEPT WHEN SHE WANTED A TREAT FROM "HER CLOSET." SHE WAS LOVING AND DEVOTED, AND NEVER KNEW A STRANGER. SHE COULD BE SPUNKY, BUT HOW SHE LOVED TO SNUGGLE!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROFESSIONALISM AND CARE IN BREEDING SUCH FINE SPECIMENS OF THE BOSTON TERRIER BREED. WE WILL BE COMING BACK TO YOU FOR ANOTHER BOSTON PUPPY AS SOON AS WE CAN!
SINCERELY,
RICK AND BETTY..........JANUARY 2009
*****REGGIE
WE COULD NOT BE MORE PLEASED WITH OUR FREEDOM BULLDOG. HE IS SO SWEET, LOVING,SMART,AND JUST SO INCREDIBLY CUTE THAT YOU CANNOT HELP BUT KISS AND HOLD HIM. OUR HOUSE IS VERY BUSY WITH THREE KIDS AND NOW TWO DOGS BUT IT SURE MAKES IT A HOME. OUR GREYHOUND IS FINALLY ADJUSTING TO REGGIE AND IS FINDING THAT IT IS OK TO HAVE A DOG BROTHER.
I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH JERRY AND JEANNIE AND OF COURSE THEIR PUPPIES. IT WAS HARD NOT TO LEAVE WITH TWO OR MORE! THEY BOTH ARE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE, EASY TO TALK WITH, AND A PLEASURE TO BE AROUND. AFTER WE PURCHASED FREEDOM BULLDOG THE NEXT DAY JERRY CALLED AND WAS WONDERING HOW REGGIE WAS DOING AND HOW WE WERE DOING. WE THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY THOUGHTFUL AND REALLY APPRECIATED HIS TIME TO CALL US AND CHECK-IN. IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS NOW AND WE COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH REGGIE. HE IS SITTING, SHAKING(PART-TIME), ROLLING OVER ON HIS OWN, PLAYING FETCH AND GIVING KISSES TO WHOMEVER WILL ACCEPT THEM. THANK YOU

*****CHIEF
"CHIEF" IS THE TALK OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. JOE AND I HAVE HAD TWO DOGS PRIOR TO CHIEF(FREEDOM PUP). THEY WERE BIGGER DOGS-A BULL MASTIFF AND A SHARPIE. CHIEF IS OUR FIRST SMALLER DOG AND HE IS GIVING US THE SAME JOY AS OUR BIGGER ONES. HE IS SO SMART AND TAKES US FOR WALKS! HE MAKES OUR WHOLE DAY FUN. I WOULD RECOMMEND A FREEDOM BULLDOG FOR EVERYONE. JERRY AND JEANNIE MAKE IT SO ACCOMMODATING TO GET YOUR PUPPY. ALL OUR QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED AND FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS GET ANSWERED QUICKLY EVEN AFTER YOU PICK UP YOUR PUPPY. MY WIFE WANTED A FRENCH AND I WANTED A BOSTON SO WE GOT THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, AND TO US EVEN CUTER. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BREEDER TO ANYONE WHO WANTED A FRENCH, BOSTON OR FREEDOM PUP.
AGAIN MANY THANKS AND IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT US FOR CONFIRMATION YOU COULD SUPPLY THEM OUR EMAIL ADDRESS. WE REALLY LOVE THIS LITTLE GUY.

*****MY BULLY BOYS
MY OLDEST, SHERMAN WILL BE TWO IN JUNE. HE'S A FREEDOM BULLDOG AND IS ONE OF THE GREATEST TREASURES OF MY LIFE. HE IS THE FIRST SMALL DOG I'VE EVER BEEN OWNED BY AND I WAS TIMID ABOUT ADDING HIM TO A FAMILY WITH ASSORTED OTHER PETS, INCLUDING A RAMBUNCTIOUS CHOCOLATE LAB. AFTER MANY CONVERSATIONS WITH JEANIE, MY FAMILY AND I PICKED UP SHERMAN AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER. WELL, THAT IS UNTIL WE PICKED UP ALVIS, A FRENCHIE, ABOUT A YEAR AFTER WE BROUGHT SHERMAN HOME. THE TWO DOGS WERE WONDERFUL ADDITIONS TO OUR FAMILY AND ALL THE TIME AND CARE THAT JEANIE AND JERRY GAVE IN PREPARING US WAS WITHOUT A DOUBT WHY I CHOSE JELSI AND CAME BACK FOR MY SNORTING SECOND "SON" ALVIS. THEIR ATTENTION TO MY ENDLESS QUESTIONS WAS WONDERFUL. WHEN MY HUSBAND ROLLING HIS EYES FROM ALL OF THE QUESTIONS, JEANIE JUST CALMLY ANSWERED AND KEPT ANSWERING. I CAN'T THANK THEM ENOUGH FOR ALL OF THE HELP AND FOR MAKING MY BULLY BOYS AVAILABLE TO BECOME PART OF MY FAMILY. THEY ARE LITTLE DOGS WITH BIG GOOFY PERSONALITIES THAT JUST FIT WITH THE REST OF MY GOOFY FAMILY. THANKS SO MUCH!
