We've raised bulldogs at
Dog Bluff for almost 20 years! We began with Valley Bulldogs, experimented with Oldie-Boxers (hybrid fun breed),
and we TRULY LOVE the Olde English Bulldogge, which seems to be the bulldog breed for us.
Lord willing, it is our plan to have Oldies running around Dog Bluff into the year 2015, and we "think" we may start
to slow down around that time.
It is with sincere gratitude that we accept the following
references from our clients, for without these special folks, we would not have a program!

| Tyson (OEB) and Aleigh (Oldie-Boxer) |
Lyndsey Grzincic of OH... We purchased our first Dog Bluff baby in April, 2008. I was looking for a bully breed
but not the typical English Bulldog that everyone seemed to have; then I came across Dog Bluff. Once I looked
into Angela's breeding program and contacted her, I knew that her line was what I wanted in our home. We first purchased
"ALEIGH," an Oldie-Boxer from the first Sherman/Chancey litter. I could not have been happier with our new addition. She picked
up on commands so quickly, and was very easy to train! Aleigh is very affectionate and she has had no health problems. She
loves to be loved by ANYONE. Shortly after I adopted Aleigh, Angela added an adorable puppy named "Serena" to her program.
As soon as I saw Serena, I contacted Angela and said, "I have to have one of Serena's puppies when the time comes." Angela
and I kept in touch over the next two years (I personally do not know of any other breeders that keep in touch with their
clients this way). In October, 2009, Angela sent me a "heads-up" email announcing the Serena/Clyde breeding in case
I was still interested. Of course I was! Our second little Dog Bluffer, "TYSON," came home February, 2010. Once again,
I could not have been happier with our new addition. Tyson is AMAZING; he is bully, smart, and adorable. Aleigh took Tyson
in right away as if he was her baby! We could not be more pleased with our "little" additions. I hope that down the
road when we are in need of another family member that Angela's breeding program is still in place, because I would most definitely
adopt from Dog Bluff again. If you would like to contact me with any questions please do not hesitate. lynds611@yahoo.com

| See MORE of Sunny on PRODUCED page! |
Buddy McClain of Florida: Sunny is the light of my life! Among other activities,
she loves to go riding with me. When she hears my keys, she is at the door, ready to go, not caring where we're going
as long as she is with me. What a wonderful girl she is growing into. I am so grateful to you and your family for this pup.
Angela, you do such a great job with the breeding process, taking such care in the dogs you have and choosing the right dogs
for breeding; Kudos to you, for giving the time required so you can take care of your babies like no other I have heard of...
and I looked at a LOT of breeders before I adopted Sunny. You know I named her "Sunny" for a reason. As you know, I'm a grown
man, but when I saw her face she just melted my heart and still does. Even when water is slopping out of her mouth and food
drops from her mouth during mealtime, Sunny causes my smile to grow bigger every day -- she is a continuous ray of sunshine.
Anyone looking to adopt an Oldie from you is welcomed to contact me for a reference discussion. Phone: 630-234-9460 or budds1965@mac.com

| Kimber & Rubie snuggling, 2010 |
Deciding to purchase an Oldie-Boxer from Angela was an easy decision after
seeing the parents but has become the best decision my wife and I have ever made. We first
got Kimber my female Oldie-Boxer who was our first dog. I grew up with dogs and have had everything from Cockers
to Golden Retrievers but Kimber was the first dog of my own. She has been a dream dog to own.
She is very smart and easy to train. We had her house trained in no time and never had a problem with chewing,
dominance, or aggression in any way. She is very athletic but in no way hyper. Kimber is full of personality
and a large part of her personality is her love for other dogs. We quickly realized that Kimber would be much happier
with a friend in the house. There was only one way to go, get another Oldie-Boxer from Angela. When Kimber
was around 9 months we got Rubie. Rubie has just as much personality as Kimber. They love each
other and spend every moment together. We have never had an issue with food aggression or dominance.
They are both easily trained and socialized. Rubie loves to snuggle and is give kisses. Buying from Angela
was the smartest thing we could have done when getting a dog. Angela is very careful about who gets her puppies
and maintains a relationship with her adoptive families even after the purchase. She is extremely helpful and informative for
her adoptive families and is perfect for any first time dog owner. She has made herself available to help with raising our
puppies from the day we decided to get Kimber. She is a one-of-a-kind breeder. I have seen "show quality"
breeders who are nice enough but have no integrity in their breeding. I would recommend Angela to anybody
looking for a puppy. Matt and Ashley Matt.Hague@hotmail.com
| Dog Bluff FIONA (Clyde's sister) |
|
| Young Retiree, owned by Bianca Diefenbach |
Bianca Diefenbach of SC
I looked into purchasing a dog from Angela for a few months and decided to finally put my name on
the list for pup. To my surprise she called me with a deal of a century. An adult dog, Fiona, who was going on
2 years old. I was a bit hesitant at first because I intially wanted a puppy but thought what could be better than passing
the puppy stage. What made the deal even better was that she was trained and house broken already. All I had to do was
love her. And that I have. Fiona has fit right into my life. I couldn't ask for a better dog or even a better breeder
to have received a new member of my family from. Angela made me feel so comfortable going out to her place to look at
Fiona. She is full of knowledge on her dogs and answers all questions you have. She makes you feel like you have
known her forever and she loves what she does. That makes a person a great breeder. Anyone looking into adopting
an Oldie from Angela is free to contact me at smile11481@yahoo.com .
| Heather @ 15 weeks, enjoying Bike Sports |
|
| Serena/Clyde puppy |
Heather Finn has been a wonderful addition to the Finn Family. Our Vet has been so impressed by
the Olde English Bulldogge breed! She compared Heather to a traditional bulldog, and was thrilled with the free breathing,
longer limbs, and slightly more pronounced nasal passageway. She also was thrilled that Heather was free whelped.
Heather is also learning very quickly. At only 12 weeks of age, she could already sit on command and
shake hands! We love her so much. She slept in our bed for the first three weeks, but has quickly adapted
to the crate since week 9. In all honesty, she just wants and craves attention and love. She is
exactly what we wished for. She is beautiful, smart, strong and fearless. Heather is our "four-legged child."
We socialize her with other dogs on a daily basis (as long as it is a healthy dog and we trust the owner). She
loves playing with other dogs and has not been unfriendly to dog or human. She is absolutely perfect. Lastly,
I would recommend Angela and Dog Bluff Bulldogges. Angela truly cares for her dogs. She provides her clients
with much helpful information for when you bring home your puppy from Dog Bluff. I would absolutely get another
OEB from Angela. Hopefully, someday, I will be able to have two OEBs in the family.

Greetings from beautiful Colorado! I am Betty Boyd. I am originally from Aynor, SC and have
known Angela Roberts for 10+ years, and her husband, Clif, since high school, some 40 years now. There are no finer
people than Angela & Clif Roberts. They are upstanding members of our home church and of our community. They served as
youth leaders for some years, and mentored our son, Jason during that time. Jason is now an Iraq & Afghanistan war veteran
and a Rock Hill, SC police officer (AND the proud papa of a wonderful Dog Bluff pup, "Shiloh"). Clif and Angela
have worked with, loved, and been loved by countless young people. Angela's great heart of love encompasses hurting people,
disabled citizens, the elderly and youth alike; and of COURSE, she loves her dogs just as much as most humans
love their children! She and Clif are as genuine and upright as folks can possibly be! You can do any kind
of business with these folks with no reservations. You can rest assurred that any puppy from Angela's program has had
the very best of care!
| Jodi owns TWO Dog Bluff Bulldogges! |

Jodi Ostrander of New York
I adopted an Oldie-Boxer pup from Angela
in April, 2008. "Coco" is the most beautiful girl ever! In the summer of 2009, I adopted a pure Olde English Bulldogge
pup, "Osi" from Angela, adding to my Dog Bluff collection of bully babies. Angela made the adoption process so easy.
She was always available for questions and was very quick to respond to emails. I found her adoption requirements
very fair. After an interview with Angela, puppies are chosen in order that security deposits are received. How
much more fair can you be? I feel as though Angela breeds bulldogs for the love of the breed. She is very particular
and takes very good care of her pups. She is honest, kind and very knowledgeable about the breed. I would recommend
Angela Roberts / Dog Bluff Bulldogges to anyone wanting to adopt from a reputable breeder; if you choose to adopt
from Angela, you will be very pleased. Feel free to contact me by email at jodi.ostrander@esc.edu or jodi9144@aol.com to discuss my adoption experience.

| Roxy, at age 1 year |
We can't thank Angela enough for all of the help she
has given us and Roxy. When my wife and I came to Dog Bluff Bulldogges; to pick up Roxy, we had a lot
of questions, Angela answered all of them and gave us tons of great advise before we left. We actually
felt a little guilty taking Roxy because her home at Dog Bluff was so nice and everyone (including the dogs) was
so friendly. We have never worked with a breeder prior to Angela. Not only were we lucky to get Roxy but we were
lucky to find Angela, a breeder who cares so much for her dogs. Along with a profound love of the breed ,
she was extremely helpful and a wealth of information, we couldn't imagine ever working with anyone else."
Thanks very much ! ! !
| Barney |

Linda Husbands of Norfolk, Virginia:
When Barney's litter was only 2 days old, the Roberts'
graciously let us spend Father's Day afternoon with them; we watched the puppies and tried to decide which one we wanted.
It was important to us to pick our puppy early because we did not want his tail (with a cute white tip) docked. Barney
is the best puppy we could ever have wished for. He loves people (which is due to Angela's socialization of the puppies
while they are still in her care). On the beach, he plays with everyone, human and canine alike, and loves all the compliments
he gets on his tiger-like coat. Barney enjoys the outdoors and loves living inside equally! If you want
an Olde English Bulldogge, I highly recommend Dog Bluff Bulldogges. Their puppies are healthy, beautiful, and have wonderful
personalities! Phone: 757-588-5434 or e-mail: lindahusbands@yahoo.com

Olivia Harris of "upstate" South Carolina
It's official... Calhoun is rotten. He has the run
of the house, and can go outside anytime he wants to. Still, he prefers laying up on the couch. He is a nut
for sure. My fiance is really into martial arts, and practices with Calhoun! Cal actually seems to like
it. He rolls around on the floor like he knows what he's doing. These dogs can do anything! Calhoun GRADUATED
from Intermediate obedience classes with flying colors and we were invited to enroll in the AKC Canine Good Citizen
Certification. In February, 2009, CALHOUN OBTAINED THIS AKC HONOR! In March of 2009, Calhoun passed
the AKC THERAPY DOG test, and we now own a THERAPY DOG !!! This has been my goal
for Calhoun all along! We have big plans for Cal... he's our wonder dog! oliviah@co.pickens.sc.us

Joshua & Heather Stone
Angela, we had the best experience with you and
your family! You kept us informed at every step of her development, right up to adoption day, when she was placed in our arms.
I felt like I already knew her from the stories you shared! We love "Inca" so much; she is our baby! She is very loving and
playful, and one of the friendliest dogs I have ever seen. I get compliments every time I take her out. Sometimes I
feel like I bought a show dog! She is so beautiful; she is built thick, just like Gracie & Sherman, and she is strong
- pure muscle! Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts. stonejcusmc@aim.com
| Sherman, Jr. & his little buddy, Morgan |
|
Matt & Amy Gozalkowski of Kentucky
We adopted “Sherman Jr” from Angela
some time ago. He was the best thing that we ever invested in.
We have 3 kids, and Sherm Jr fit right in with them. We loved him dearly, and he'll always have a special
place in our hearts. With the right family setting and lots of love, an Olde
English Bulldogge is the best pet in the world. They are family protectors, too.
With my husband being in the Army, he is gone quite a bit. I have never felt safer when “Daddy” was away, when Sherm Jr came
into our lives. The only way I would ever adopt another dog is through Angela. She is the best breeder I have ever
met. When we were at her home it was easy to see that her dogs are her “babies” -- no matter what, they get
the best of care. The time and love she puts into her dogs is evident in the puppies produced from Dog Bluff. I am happy to
give further reference on Angela at amygozalkowski@yahoo.com . Sincerely, Amy Gozalkowski
Note
From Angela: THIS FAMILY is now the proud FOREVER FAMILY for our retiree, SHERMAN! It was our pleasure to place
Sherman with Matt & Amy, as we knew that would be the perfect home for him. Sherman sleeps with Morgan almost every
night - see photos of Sherman in his retirement at the bottom of his page. Thanks, Matt & Amy!
Elaine Fussell of Ambrose, Georgia:
I would like to say I have never met such honest and Christian
folks as Clifton & Angela Roberts. They strive to produce loving, healthy bullies for families that just
want a loving, gorgeous Bullie as part of their family... knowing they have a pet such as the bulldogge breed that can love
their children and not harm them in any way. The Roberts' breed for HEALTH, looks and temperament! And I would
like to thank them for all the hard, loving work for the Bulldogge Lovers! Elaine 912-389-1035.
| Arrow & Dori |

| Both are the continuation of our Valley Bulldog program that began Dog Bluff Bulldogges! |
Mary Holmes of Pennsylvania:
I would like to commend Angela Roberts
for her efforts in bettering her breeds of Bulldogs. They have great temperaments, health and spirit, all that makes
up a great family member. Angela truly loves her dogs and helps connect you with the right puppy. She is readily
available either by phone or e-mail to assist you with any questions you may have. I highly recommend her if you
are interested in an Olde English Bulldogge, and would like to thank her for helping me to add a wonderful Valley Bulldog
to my family years ago. (We now have Arrow AND his daughter, Dori.) Angela is not only a breeder, she has become a true
friend. You may contact me at tmdc4@msn.com at your convenience.
