We were in contact with Elena for about 6 months - finally picked out a puppy. Mini's cost about $700+ more than standard bulldogs. Our puppy is not a mini and Elena is nowhere to be found - Website is down.
Note, she has several different sites - http://originalminibulldogs.com/ and once was part of some organization called MBCOA. We initially did not purchase from her cause they would not hand out the AKC Certs - under Brendwood, she did.

However, the puppy is not a miniature, he is 60 lbs. We love our puppy and would not trade him in for anything. But Elena should have been forthcoming and be compensated appropriately for what she gave us. She is in Florida and the puppy shipped from Arkansas - she was not forthcoming and made it seem like she had the puppy with her!

She is extremely religious - placing 'God Bless' on every e-mail. What an oxymorron as she is a crook!
