  • Welcome back!

    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

Is this a pure breed litter or no?

There are little to no good outlets for people with bully breeds here, we have a small agility group, and thats it. The group that promotes the glory of bully breeds wouldn't know a proper APBT if they tripped over it, the lady who runs it is a fur mommy moronwho spouts its all in how you raise them, nothing else matters. So she promotes nothing good, or any dog sports just cesars bullshit, its very sad. A few years ago Edmonton lifted its bylaw that all pitbull type dogs on the dangerous dog list, so they had to be muzzled, and penned, etc. This woman was doing a speach and mentioned this bylaw, and i said that it was lifted and she argued with me, it had been lifted for over a year at this point. Its very sad here, we have no one interested in healthy athletic bullys breeds, just fat couch potatoes to show the world how awesome they are.

You don't need classes to keep a dog fit and in shape. Most pet bull breeds can be walked, jogged, and exercised plenty. There is no excuse for people having an overweight dog unless it has medical/genetic problems.

No they are lazy for the most part, i just think if there were something and they could see what their dogs should, and could look like they might do something. Instead of their dogs looking like sausages.

Ignorance is the issue, I wasn't aware how chubby of a puppy I had until I posted pictures. Luckily I realized and fixed his weight while still quite young.

You could be right, ignorance is probably right, its so sad, unless i go to a dog show all i see are fat bullies, even the trainer here has fat dogs. But the last dog show i saw the most amazing mini xolo, stunning, such good shape, beautifully muscled out.

We took in a rescue and she has very expensive Vet bills. If you choose an adult dog, from a foster or rescue, make sure the dog is in good health. Ours has severe separation anxiety and a skin disorder.

No way on earth would I get a pup off that sire. He is in no way anything that an American bulldog should be, or at least not anything I'd look for. He's short nosed even for a Johnson type dog, I don't care for his shoulders, and something about the whole head is just "off". He says more American Bully than American Bulldog to me, even though he probably is all Bulldog. An American bulldog should be athletic, even the Johnson types, and I don't think that dude can get out of his own way. .

Many purebreds are becoming more "bully-looking". Have you looked at Rottweilers and Labrador Retrievers lately"? Even breeds known for flat faces, like Pekingese and French Bulldogs and Boxers are becoming more extreme in that feature. They aren't a different breed, just being selected for extremes. It's really a shame, but it sells. Something about that short face and bulkiness that humans find very appealing.

I wonder about rescue any more, unless you really know what you are looking at. I don't know that I would recommend shelters or rescue to the casual person looking for a pet.

I hear more and more about problems with pets acquired this way.

There are a few good ones out there. My neighbor volunteers for one that is very good. All their dogs spend their first two weeks at the Vet. They are thoroughly checked. Then they go into foster care. But that is the only one that I know of that is so good. They barely get any dogs returned to them.
The person who rescued my dog was very good at selecting a dog with a great temperament. That is all she looked at, I believe.
