Angela has been amazing to work with. We actually rescued our first Olde English Bulldogge at the age of 4yrs. "Tyson" (born in 2011) was truly one of a kind, and once he passed away in March 2022, we knew we needed one just like him. We found out Angela was Tyson's breeder and reached out to her! She has been great - she is a powerhouse of knowledge and has answered every question we've had.
We picked up "RAMBO" in November, 2022 and our world has never been the same! He has an amazing temperament, loves everyone and makes us laugh daily.
There are so many breeders out there that truly do not care about the health of their puppies... that is not Angela. The health of the puppies and momma are her top priority. We recommend her to everyone!

VIDEO: April, 2023 = Carlos and "Mercy" demonstrate what quality training time can do!

April, 2023: MERCY is now 8 months and doing amazing! She is incredibly affectionate and very much a velcro pup. She's terrific with people and other dogs and is always a bundle of pure joy and energy. Mercy is obsessed with playing and loves to train. She is very intelligent, enthusiastic, and I rarely use treats because she really just enjoys having fun and getting loved on. Angela remains a resource to us throughout our journey, and I am so thankful I found her program. I cannot stress enough the peace of mind I have knowing my baby came from a knowledgeable breeder who prioritizes the health of her all of her dogs. - Carlos, now in Charlotte, NC -

2022: Angela was amazing to work with. I could tell right from the start that she was very knowledgeable and put a lot of love into her program. She answered every possible question and ensured I was set up for a successful transition. Her transportation options were also terrific and super easy to work with! My pup was flight nannied from SC to CA with absolutely no issues. I reference Angela's book often and feel safe knowing she is a consistent resource as I raise my Dog Bluff pup. The health of her pups and her support as a breeder are top-notch! Thank you for a smooth experience and this intelligent, gorgeous, and rambunctious girl!

There is no greater dog expert than my dear friend and neighbor, Angela Roberts.  This avid dog lover races out of a warm bed and throws on a winter coat and flip flops (when time doesn't permit finding real shoes), to race to my aid when I've had a dog crisis... more than once!  Her book is the greatest resource, as it comes from someone who takes the well-being of all dogs as her mission.  Written from the heart of someone who has decades of experience with multiple breeds, this book is a necessity for any dog owner!

Where to begin?!? Angela needs an award for customer service!

I've never met anyone so passionate and informed about these pups. Angela is there for anything, available anytime I need her via email or phone with all of my questions and emergencies, big or small. Coco is the cutest thing ever. We started off rough because I'VE NEVER OWNED A PUPPY BEFORE, and didn't quite know what I was getting myself into. At one point Coco could have been on her way BACK to Angela lol, just kidding... but with Angela's guidance and support we powered through those initial tough weeks. We are now adjusted and doing great. I really loved the additional layers of care and love Angela provided to make sure I started off with food, supplements, etc; she really made me feel like family. Coco is sassy, stubborn as a mule, but she makes up for it for being so sweet and lovable.

My name is Meya. I have 3 sons and we reside in Bowie MD. I got "Kody," (male, tri-color OEB) from Angela in 2022; he has been the center of attention ever since! He is nice and chunky and perfectly healthy. Kody is a show-stopper for sure.
Angela & her husband Clif were awesome to work with. They made the adoption process so easy and worry-free. At first I was hesitant to purchase a puppy so far from our home because I was scammed in the past. Buttttt, it was nothing but good vibes when speaking to Angela. She made sure to send me weekly updates, pics and videos of my puppy until adoption day; we also video-chatted often. Angela's knowledge about dogs and their needs are out of this world. Kody just turned 1-yr and to this day, I still call Angela for advice. She literally has the answer to everything. Angela and Clif met us right off the interstate on Adoption Night, as we had several hours of driving to reach home. They supplied with me food, toys, vitamins and more. I trust her whole-heartedly and I am thankful I was able to purchase my puppy from Dog Bluff. Kody is a big ball of joy! We are so thankful!

Angela, I love your book!  I can totally relate to Chapter 15. I am going through that as I write this to you, with my 13 ˝ year-old Queenie, and you describe my heart in that chapter.  I would also like to thank you for the information in Chapter 4 (Nutrition). After spending tons of money on tests to see why Queenie had a bald spot on her back, you spent some telephone time with me regarding certain supplements. With my veterinarian's blessing, I had all of our dogs on the recommended products.  Within 6 months, Queenie's hair had grown back and her whole coat looked great.  My dogs LOVE these supplements as daily treats! They do wonders for their skin, coat and overall health. Thanks for the advice! Connie (Goose Creek, SC)

After one telephone conversation with Angela, it’s easy to see what is so infectious about her.  The passion for her work is heard loud and clear in her kind, southern voice.  I had the pleasure of meeting Angela in February, 2009, and I feel grateful to call her a friend.  Angela is an expert in many aspects of raising dogs – from training tips to nutritious meal plans to methods of saving money on home remedies.  She is by far the best of the best!  I can honestly say that I’ve pulled out Angela’s book and her telephone number on numerous occasions when our four-legged “baby” has given us concerns.  Angela’s advice on proper nutrition and picking out the right dog food is essential for the health of your dog!  When it comes to illnesses, ailments and injuries, her advice and knowledge is remarkable.  I trust her words of wisdom as much as I trust my veterinarian!  Angela, I want to thank you for all your support over the years, for your friendship, love and most of all for calling me about a little white dog (“Lucy”) that would forever change our lives.  Best of luck to you and your family!

Angela's entire book has helped our family! I was lucky enough to hear a lot information straight from the author's mouth, as our 2 adoptions happened during the creative process of getting "RAISING DOGS WITH COMMON SENSE" into publication - just before Angela retired her program. We were not expecting to run across anyone or anything close to what we found in Angela or her program. Twice, we adopted all the way from California to South Carolina. Not the easiest approach, but rest assured, we have not had one regret. Angela believes in making an adoption the right fit for the entire family. It is unbelievable how she so generously spends her time and knowledge with pet owners. I can honestly say I've never seen anything quite like it. Angela loves what she does, and it shows in her book! She makes a career of doing things RIGHT. Even though years have passed since our pet adoptions, Angela has remained easily accessible and immensely knowledgeable for any questions we have had. We "gift" her book to all of our friends and family who plan to adopt a dog!

I am giving Angela an A+ for her book! I recently raised a litter of poodles, and provided RAISING DOGS WITH COMMON SENSE to adoptive families who had never owned a dog prior to these poodle pups. These families followed Chapters 3 & 12 very closely, from crate set-up to crate/house-training. After only 2 weeks, these puppies were already going to the door for potty breaks. My families reported that during the day (crate door open) puppies played in their crates and even took naps in there! They didn't cry at night when crated because they were trained just as Angela instructed.

Angela’s book offers guidance with compassion.  She understands that raising a dog will be a challenging, exciting, sometimes frustrating, rewarding, joyful, and overall great journey.  This book will help EVERY dog, every dog-owner family, every step of the way!  I am honored to be her friend.  Angela is incredibly passionate about her canine kids.  Even though she retired her breeding program, she still works with folks to help re-home pets now and then, and works tirelessly to make sure they find loving, forever homes.  I have raised several dogs over the years, and have plenty of experience raising dogs.  But Angela is still able to provide advice on the care and health of dogs that has helped me on several occasions.  She has many helpful tips that I have used to raise healthy and happy dogs.  Mike of Groton, CT

     As the proud “parents” to three Dog Bluffers, we can truthfully say that we never would have made it this far without the good, solid advice we received from Angela. We had long been an animal free household and had no idea how drastically our lives would change! Angela gave us multiple reality checks before she would even allow us to consider adding Sassy (she is a litter mate and we adopted her several months after the first two).  As luck would have it, everything has worked out beautifully. We were fortunate enough to have a great breeder on our side throughout this process. And, while we have not called on her too terribly much recently, in the beginning we called on her often. Angela always gave us plenty of attention and I have no doubt we tested her patience a time or two. After talking with several of Angela’s adoptive families I realize that she gave each of us her full attention and love for her dogs. To this day she still calls them her babies. That love shines through in everything she does. I have no idea what we did right to be blessed with having fate drop her in our lives at the perfect time, but I am so thankful that our paths crossed.

     Angela’s book is appropriately named, “Raising Dogs with Common Sense.” And it truly is an extensive resource that is valuable to any dog family. Keep in mind, this book was not in written format when we started our adventure; however, after reading the book I have decided that Angela must have recorded herself and written her words verbatim because the information is identical to what she told us during our many phone calls. Each chapter holds value but some sections were more helpful to our family. Chapters 3 (“First Purchases”) and 12 (“Housetraining”) were helpful in our decision to use dog crates. Our girls were immediately introduced to crate living and continue to use their crates on a daily basis. Often I find at least two of them snuggled together in one crate. And when the fireworks start during the holidays, if they aren’t on a lap, they are in their crate- by their own choice!

     Chapter 4 (“Nutrition”) gave us a necessary education. We had no idea where to even start and were so intimidated by the vast choices available. Angela helped us decide on a cost effective brand that we stuck with for several years. When she suggested making a change due to multiple recalls we did so without hesitation and went right back to the original reference material to decide. While I would not think twice about taking Angela’s advice blindly, she won’t give it without giving solid reasons on why she is making specific recommendations. Chapter 4 is so extensive and covers all you need to know!

     Chapter 9 (“Sick Dog”) is as extensive as Chapter 4 except that it covers the inevitable sick baby moments. We have been blessed with a great vet but Angela has saved us money by helping us figure out when we can treat at home or if we should take them to the Dr. On a side note, our first several visits to the vet included several minutes of the vet saying how impressed he was with the girls and that it was obvious the breeder really cared about her program.          And finally, we probably should have paid more attention to Chapter 11 (“Training”). Unfortunately we are suckers when it comes to this and we have learned the hard way that we should have disciplined with a bit more authority in the early days.

     As you can see, we have been overjoyed by our interactions with Angela from the days that she had her program to present.  Pictures of our girls are available with a public designation on Facebook specifically so that others can see how great Angela’s puppies look.

We met Angela when she was retiring her breeding program, and adopted "Rudy" from her last litter of Oldies. Since that time, we have kept our friendship going, and we have reaped the benefits of her book over and over again.  Our favorite chapters are 2, 4, 9 and 13, which have saved us a pile of money in just a short period of time!  Knowing how to socialize our two male dogs of different breeds was key to them getting along so well.  Angela suggested supplements that help Cody (our aging lab) with his bone/joint issues.  She also urged us to change our dogs over to grain-free nutrition, which has cleared up all skin issues!  The "Bathing Strategies" saved us tons of time, immediately.  I cannot believe how much energy we were wasting before we put Angela's methods into practice.

Olivia touches on almost every chapter of my book:
calhouncollage.jpg

Calhoun was born 6/3/2006. I thought he was super-cute but soon realized that I had, in fact, chosen one of the most stubborn dogs in the world. My grandmother said his ears were like velvet- if he would sit long enough to let you rub them. He ran around everywhere, peed everywhere, bit everything. I remember standing in the yard at 4AM, freezing, waiting for him to do his business while he happily played in the grass. I knew we had to do some training. There were not many trainers who would work with a Boxer/Bulldog mix 11 years ago, but we found our perfect pet trainer! She loved Calhoun's big ole' head. I knew he was a powerful breed and I never wanted to put him in a situation that would end up with him biting someone or me having to euthanize him. So we TRAINED and SOCIALIZED ALL THE TIME. We went everywhere together. He surprised the heck out of me when he passed his AKC Canine Good Citizen test like it was nothing! We went on to get certified as a Therapy Dog team. We hiked and walked and talked- well, I did most of the talking. He has been there for most of my celebrations and even some bad decisions. The lady at my favorite makeup counter enjoyed hearing the story of how Calhoun ate my makeup bag. He locked me out of my car. He ate siding and destroyed three story downspouts. He ran from the [Easley, SC] police in a way that would impress the most hardened criminal! He sat in yard furniture to watch neighborhood traffic and then he ate the furniture! He was terrified of Charleston [SC] horses. He almost drowned at James Island County Park. He ran loose and free on a golf course at Kiawah. He was never a swimmer, but he loved being near the water and on the sand. Calhoun will forever be my HEART DOG. He frustrated me, but also taught me that working hard for something makes it that much better when you achieve it. He let me bring home random German Shepherd puppies with little fuss. I think he may have been an honorary service dog. The laziest service dog, ever. He accepted two little girls and their antics as if they had been part of his life forever. I wanted him to live a good and full life. I never wanted him to be cold or scared or hungry. I wanted him to only know love every day of his life. He was the light of my life for 11 1/2 years, and that wasn't long enough. Calhoun died today. He left my heart shattered, but fuller than it ever was. I realize that there is no way I could share his story in one post, so I take that as a sign that I did good. Rest easy, Calhoun. Find our Lucy.
