I had an amazing experience buying my Frenchie from this karen. Communication was clear, the puppy was healthy and well cared for, and you can tell they truly love their dogs. My Frenchie came socialized, happy, and exactly as promised. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would 100% recommend them.

Our OEB puppy is so cute and super smart. Karen was incredibly thorough and kind. She gave us a wealth of information. We also got to meet our puppy’s parents. Can’t recommend her enough.

We had been speaking with Karen for quite a bit before we purchased. She was very helpful and patient with all of our questions. Not only did we get a beautiful boy we know we can always go to Karen with any additional questions. We’re already so in love with our Christmas baby!

I had an excellent experience with Karen Licciardi, owner and breeder of Black Horse Bulldogs when inquiring and purchasing my Olde english Bulldog. She is extremely professional, truly lovers her dogs, and is very knowledgeable about the breed. Her dogs are great examples of correct Olde English bulldog structure and true breed personality - sound, confident, and well balanced.

In addition to being an outstanding breeder, Karen is also a great trainer, which clearly shows in the temperament, manners, and early foundation work of her dogs. She is always available and supportive to new and old owners, willingly answering questions and offering guidance long after placement, which speaks volumes about her commitment to both her dogs and the families they go to.

I would highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a healthy, well-bred Olde English Bulldog from a breeder who is ethical, experienced, and genuinely passionate about the breed.

Got a Frenchie from Karen and he is just the sweetest. It was lovely working with them!

We wholeheartedly recommend Karen and Black Horse Bulldogs to anyone looking for an ethical breeder who produces healthy, happy, and genuinely loving Olde English Bulldogges. They have enriched our lives beyond measure. It is a rare gift to find a breeder whose commitment to excellence stands the test of time. Over the last nine years, we have welcomed three incredible Olde English Bulldogges from Black Horse Bulldogs into our home including our newest addition, Enzo, whom me just picked up this past Sunday, and we can genuinely say they are the most loving, integral parts of our family. When you purchase a dog from Karen at Black Horse Bulldogs you aren't just getting a pet; you're gaining a lifelong companion that has been ethically bred, lovingly raised, and meticulously cared for from day one. Karen prioritizes breed health above all else. The defining characteristic of every dog we have received is their extraordinary temperament. They are confident, affectionate "velcro" dogs who thrive on being near their people. Their loving nature is a direct result of the dedicated socialization the breeder provides during those crucial early weeks. Karen doesn't just hand you a leash and say goodbye. The support we’ve received over nearly a decade has been exceptional. Karen is a constant resource for advice, a sounding board for questions, and genuinely cares about the well-being of every single dog she breeds. She has always been there—knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in all of her dogs long after they leave the whelping box. This continued connection has been invaluable to us over nearly a decade.

We cannot recommend Karen and Black Horse Bulldogs highly enough. If you want an OEB breeder who is professional, ethical, passionate, and provides you with a healthy, loving companion who will quickly become your absolute best friend, look no further. We are forever grateful for the continued joy they have brought into our home. Thank you Karen!! You are truly the best!

Last year we found Ms. Karen and that is how we got our girl Willow. A few weeks ago, we sadly lost our other dog, so I reached out to Ms. Karen again. For our luck, she had a litter born on the same day we lost our dog, so I took it as a sign. Once again, Ms. Karen was absolutely wonderful! We got Fiona last weekend, and she has already brought so much happiness into our home. Willow and Fiona bonded right away! Just like Willow, Fiona is in perfect health, and you can already tell she has an amazing personality.

Ms. Karen is extremely knowledgeable about the OEB breed, which gives you complete confidence that you are getting a healthy, happy and well cared for puppy. She is also always available to answer questions and offer guidance, which is a huge plus. We highly recommend Blackhorse Bulldogs!

We are so impressed with Ms. Karen and the love, time, and care she puts not only into her dogs, but also making sure that you have all the info you need to be educated about taking care of an Old English Bulldogge. We absolutely fell in love with one of her puppies and everything from calling and inquiring to the day we picked her up was smooth and effortless. We are so blessed to have found Ms.Karen and to have someone who is willing to answer texts or phone calls with any questions you have. This has been hands down the best adoption experiences I’ve ever had! I highly recommend Ms. Karen and Blackhorse Bulldogs!

Our experience with Karen and Blackhorse Bulldogs far exceeds all expectations! We are new to the breed (OEB) and head over heels In Love already. Karen raises healthy, happy, calm, and beautiful animals. Karen is a wealth of information and only wants to see the healthiest animals representing this breed. I am so happy we found Karen and Blackhorse bulldogs.

I have gotten two dogs from Blackhorse Bulldogs - An Old English Bulldog in 2021 and a French Bulldog last month (October 2025). The experience with Blackhorse Bulldogs is truly amazing. From the moment you select your pup you enter Karen’s Bulldog family. She is available to counsel you on all aspects of dog ownership. Her dogs are physically beautiful, structurally sound and I have not had any serious health issues at all. The OEB are bred to be physical and yet super sweet. In reference to our OEB, our vet has remarked many times over the years that he “has never seen a bulldog like this.” If you are in the market for an OEB or Frenchie I highly recommend Blackhorse Bulldogs.

My wife and I lost a boxer that we adored about a year ago. My wife refused to get another dog after the pain we felt. I knew we were missing something and I continued to look and research puppies. We also have a 10 year old OEB that we love and decided instead of looking into the boxer route I was going to look for another OEB. After going down a rabbit hole of research I came to Karen’s page and was very impressed by what she presented and after speaking with her I knew she was the right breeder. I saw my little Ozzy and jumped on a plane to get him. Karen not only educated me on her dogs she helped me throughout the process of getting my new baby into my home. She’s been a complete part of the journey and it’s not just a sale. She checks on him from time to time and is always there for any of my questions. Her dogs are perfect to say the least. Thank you again Karen we appreciate everything you’ve done.

We found our special bulldog at Blackhorse. Several years ago. She has been a special pet for us. Super loyal, good with children, healthy , strong and superior coat and bone structure. Everyone loves this animal and she continues to run the house. Thanks so much for breeding such a great friend.

I must give credit where its do. This was one of the most professional experiences. The owner was friendly , kind and delivered. I highly recommend. With all the scammers out today she is not one of them. 10 out 10 get your dogs from her. Thank you again for a great experience

We are absolute in love with our English bulldog Puppy, so much so that we also adopted his mama! Ms Karen is so wonderful and love that my dogs can board with her when I leave out of town. So happy!!!!

Black Horse Bulldogs – Karen is fantastic!

I had an amazing experience with Karen at Black Horse Bulldogs. From start to finish, she was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about her dogs. All of her bulldogs were beautiful, healthy, and well cared for when I visited. You can tell she puts real love and attention into her breeding program.

Today I got to take my new puppy home, and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend Black Horse Bulldogs to anyone looking for a healthy, well-socialized Olde English Bulldogge and an honest, caring breeder.
