House of Payne English Bulldogs is a premier, ethical English Bulldog breeding program based in Phoenix, Arizona. We are committed to raising healthy, well-socialized bulldogs that embody the best qualities of the breed—charming personalities, iconic wrinkles, and loyal companionship. Our program is built on a foundation of integrity, transparency, and a deep love for the breed.

We specialize in responsibly breeding AKC-registered English Bulldogs with a focus on structure, temperament, and genetic health. Every dog in our program is a cherished family member first and foremost. Our puppies are raised inside our home, where they receive constant care, early neurological stimulation, and lots of love and socialization from day one.

The most important value we hold as breeders is the quality of life of our pack. Our mothers are treated like the queens they are. We care for more than just their physical health—we prioritize their mental and emotional well-being every step of the way. We carefully plan each breeding to ensure the process is as low-stress as possible. Because our dogs cannot consent to the demands of a breeding program, we consider it our duty to honor their sacrifice with the highest standards of care, comfort, and respect. They give so much—so we give everything in return.

Our commitment to quality begins with rigorous health screenings, including Embark DNA and genetic testing, to ensure we are producing puppies with the best possible start in life. We also provide a comprehensive health guarantee, which covers serious and life-threatening congenital conditions for up to two years—well beyond the industry standard.

Unlike many breeders, we take an active role in our families’ puppy journey long before the puppies are born. We require a video interview with every prospective buyer before accepting a deposit or confirming a reservation. This ensures that each puppy is placed in a home that is informed, prepared, and aligned with our values. We provide detailed guidance on preparing your home, care routines, and long-term wellness to support a smooth transition and a lifetime of companionship.

We pride ourselves on radical transparency. Our website includes a step-by-step guide to purchasing your puppy, updates on upcoming litters, and answers to frequently asked questions. We also maintain an active social media presence, where we share behind-the-scenes glimpses into daily life with our Bulldogs, including whelping, neonatal care, and milestone updates.

As our program has grown, we’ve made thoughtful changes to streamline our reservation process, improve our contracts, and expand our support for families. We now maintain a universal waitlist (first-come, first-served) to make selection and placement more efficient. We've also invested in a new website experience and educational resources to empower our clients and make their journey with us seamless and informed.

Our commitment doesn’t end when a puppy goes home. We offer lifelong support and maintain a strict return policy. If circumstances ever change, we welcome our Bulldogs back—no questions asked. We do not allow our dogs to be surrendered to shelters or rescues. Our Bulldogs are family, and we stand behind every life we bring into the world.

At House of Payne, we don’t just breed Bulldogs—we raise family members. Whether you’re seeking your first puppy or expanding your Bulldog-loving household, we’re honored to be a part of your journey.
