Pickup in Arkansas
Bringing your puppy home
Every Bull Lane puppy goes home from here in Arkansas, by appointment. Families come from nearby towns and from across the country, including California and New York. Here is how pickup works.

Welcome home
You leave with your puppy, their paperwork, and Lane's number for the life of your dog.
Pickup is by appointment
Lane sets a pickup day and time with you once your puppy is ready to go home, and shares the address and directions then. Plan to spend a little time: Lane will go over feeding, care and everything in your puppy’s folder, and answer your questions.
Coming from out of state
Many Bull Lane families travel to pick up their puppy. If you’re flying, most airlines that take pets in the cabin require a soft-sided carrier that fits under the seat, a pet reservation and a fee, and they limit how many pets can be on each flight, so book the puppy’s spot when you book your own. English Bulldogs are short-nosed and generally not accepted as checked baggage or cargo, so plan on keeping your puppy with you in the cabin. Check your airline’s current pet rules before you book, and tell Lane your plans so your puppy’s paperwork is ready for the trip.
From California
California families usually fly in for pickup and fly home the same trip with their puppy in the cabin. Ask Lane which airport is the easiest to reach Bull Lane from, and leave time in your schedule so the visit isn’t rushed.
From New York
New York and Northeast families usually fly in as well. Look for a nonstop or one-stop flight home, since a shorter travel day is easier on a young puppy, and bring a carrier your puppy can see out of.
What comes with your puppy
- AKC registration application and a copy of the pedigree
- Record of immunizations and worming, with dates
- Health records from our veterinarian, with the vet’s name and phone number
- Sales contract and written care instructions
When you get home
Moving to a new home is a big change for a baby bulldog. For the first couple of weeks, change as little as possible: same food, same feeding times, same amounts, and a quiet spot of their own to sleep. Lots of rest, lots of cuddling, and no exhausting play.
Take your puppy to your veterinarian during the first week for a get-to-know-you visit, and bring the immunization and worming records. If you want to change foods later, switch slowly by mixing the new food in over several days.
And call or text Lane any time. You will have questions, and Lane is glad to answer them.
