I would say my family would definitely recommend Gemstone Bulldogges of the Midwest ! This is our 2nd time getting a puppy from Alli. (We had Penny in March and she unexpectedly passed away end of April). Alli was the sweetest and offered our family a chance at another puppy. We have our Angel now. She is almost 7 months! My husband has always wanted a brindle English Bulldog…yes I know these are Olde English Bulldogge. We love them just the same! Just like any 7 month old, she doesn’t like to sit still for too long. Besides hanging in her kennel, she would prefer Kyle’s lap over mine. 🙃

Yes! Dallas is almost 7 months and he’s such a healthy growing pup! 😊

We recently got a olde English pup from Gemstone, and we can’t recommend them enough. Alli was so wonderful, answered all the questions we had and made everything super smooth from the applications too bringing our pup home, and everything in between. Our puppy is healthy, happy and so very smart. Alli was spot on with her personality which helped us with deciding on which puppy would best fit our family perfectly. If we were to get another puppy in the future we would choose a puppy from Gemstone Bulldogges of the Midwest! Hands down the best experience we’ve had!

Very personable and knowledgeable about the pups! Definitely recommend

The head and heart of Gemstone Bulldogges of the Midwest is my niece. I am thrilled to see how her business has developed. She makes the tough decisions every day; which dogs will improve the breed and which ones will go on to be wonderful pets, which girls are good moms and which ones will go on to be wonderful pets, which boys have the right conformation to pass on and which ones go on to be wonderful pet. The theme here is this: Allison thinks through every decision and all of the dogs in her program are living their best life in the best home for them. There should be more breeders with her level of integrity.

After losing our two OEB's within 2 weeks of each other, our hearts were broken and the pain was unbearable. Our home felt empty. We didnt know how to comprehend let alone accept our loss. After several months, we had purchased a puppy from another breeder, which ended in a very bad way. The puppy was 5 months old, very fearful of everything and everyone. The breeder was not very open with us about issues this pup may have experienced in his first 5 months of life, before we got him. she refused to have new customers come out to the farm to see the puppy in its environment with the rest of its litter mates and parents, and chose to make the purchase final in a gas station off the side of a country road. Long story short, after 2 1/2 long months of trying to give this traumatized puppy an amazing life, spending tons of money on trainers and dog behaviorist, as well as vet visits, to try and come to the bottom of the problem we were experiencing, we've decided to return the puppy to its home of choice and people of choice, the breeder and the farm he came from. We were so devastated. A decision that was not easy to make, but we had to think of the puppy's needs first. So we drove 9 hours, from Chicago to Tennessee, to only be greeted in the nastiest of ways. We met once again in the same gas station, as customers were not welcomed on the property. The experience was horrible and the treatmemt even worse!This individual, who called herself an "experienced breeder", was far from it! Her irrational thinking lead her to blame us for the puppy's issues. Not showing any remorse for our experience and all that we went through, nor the long drive that we just finished taking, to return the puppy to its original environment, the farm. A nightmare is the best way to describe our experience with this breeder.
Going forward and finding new light from such darkness, we were not giving up finding a good breeder with healthy puppies. As a matter of fact, it was our main focus. I searched facebook for days and came across Gemstone Bulldogges of the Midwest by searching for a reputable OEB breeder. I spoke with Alli, the kindest, most empathetic, lovable, very dedicated and devoted OEB breeder, who shared the love for the breed much like ours. We've had an instant connection. I shared our most recent losses and nightmare of an experience with another breeder, and she was just as much in shock, as we were. Alli was very inviting, and informative about her dogs and buisness. I loved her approach for breeding and raising healthy well socialized dogs with great temperament. I found her to very open and down to earth. she was very open for people to come out to her property to see and experience the setup and environment these pups were accustomed to. She was very eager to share her ideas and seemed very comfortable and confident about how she runs her buisness and the outcome of having happy, healthy puppies. After a few conversations and exchange of references, we were given the opportunity and chosen to be the forever parents and home for not one, but two of her beautiful puppies. How lucky were we?!!! We are forever grateful and feel so blessed to have found Alli, our now friend. She is the best, most nurturing breeder who pours her heart and soul into her well behaved, well sociolized and loving OEB dogs. Our hearts are full again, as is our home, with two beautiful, healthy male OEB puppies, from Gemstone Bulldogges of the Midwest, whom we highly recommend as reputable OEB breeder and friend. They don't get any better than that!🙏🏻🩵🩵

1000% recommend her! She is so knowledgeable and helpful. She answers any questions I have about my pups. She goes the extra mile for her dogs and you can tell how passionate she is about bulldogs and breeding. She takes this seriously and is not by any means, a backyard breeder. If you’re going to get a puppy, you want a loyal knowledgeable breeder and SHE IS! She is truly there for you even after they go home she’s there for you, any time of the day or night LITERALLY!!! When my pups eventually cross the rainbow bridge (hopefully many years from now), she will be my first go to on my search. Seriously can’t recommend her more and the puppies honestly speak for themselves. She is truly amazing and I love my babies!!❤️❤️

100000% recommend Gemstone bulldogges, Alli and her family breed and raise the most amazing dogs you will ever meet! If you are looking for an amazing dog look no further! 🤍

After losing my 15-year-old pitbull in September 2023, I swore I wasn’t getting another dog. The heartache over my loss was tremendous and my busy schedule was just easier without the dog mom responsibilities. But in the midst of my chaotic busy season at work, one of my clients said “you should just look at this website - you don’t have to get one, but just look.” So I looked at the adorable puppy pictures, and I knew I was in trouble. I kept going back to the page and looking, but before you know it, I filled out the application. And boy, am I thankful I did!!

I got my baby boy Capone from Gemstone Bulldogges in August 2024 and absolutely adore him! Everyone loves him because he’s so cute (of course), but even better than that is when you get feedback from your vet and the person who runs the obedience school Capone attends about how uniquely smart he is. His exact words were “Capone is the smartest dog I’ve ever worked with. It’s a real testament to his breeding!”

So FANTASTIC JOB, Alli at Gemstone, at knowing your trade and breeding such exceptional dogs to get exceptional puppies. The genuine love she has for the dogs is obvious too. Highly recommend!!

Gemstone Bulldogges/Alli put in SO MUCH time, energy, and love when raising these pups and it truly shows. Our puppy Duke (formerly Luigi) came to us with such an easygoing, friendly demeanor. He’s only 11 weeks old and just about fully potty trained. He’s a very social puppy who loves everyone he comes across, and has already made a ton of doggy friends. Alli was fantastic about keeping me updated for the first 8 weeks of Duke’s life, sending written and picture updates at least once a week. We have had a wonderful experience with Alli and Gemstone ❤️
