-No 7/8 rule like NKC, if you breed an american bulldog to a different breed and create a 50/50 mix, you can breed that dog back to an american bulldog creating a 75/25 mix and then if you breed that 75/25 mix back to an american bulldog the NKC will register the pups as american bulldogs.

-We will not paper a dog that is not registered, the NKC will. If a person buys a dog on a non breeding contract and the papers say non-breeding, the person can register that dog with the NKC without showing the registration papers to get around the non-breeding status.

-I am a passionate American Bulldog Breeder, Show Host, Judge, Trainer and Registry Owner, the way I look after the registry, my customers, their dogs and the american bulldog community comes from that passion, I am down in the trenches with you training, testing, titling and picking up poop, I have 20 years of knowledge and experience and I am happy to offer you my support and expertise, I want to inspire and inform. I am available by phone, text, messenger and email to answer questions.

The advantages of buying an ABRA registered american bulldog puppy are:

-You also have access to me, my knowledge and experience, you can join my groups and ask questions about health, temperament, structure, training etc.

-We have built a safe community on Facebook in 3 groups, where you will be treated with kindness and respect. I closely monitor my groups and I approve the posts so you will have a safe place to shop without having to worry about scammers.

-Your puppy’s papers are full colour with a photo of your choosing, you can update the photo, the health testing results and titles as you raise your puppy.

-You can add all health test results, conformation championships, and working titles to your dog’s ABRA registration certificate.

-Your breeder’s name and kennel is on your dog’s certificate, your breeder’s name and kennel are not on your NKC papers.

I offer training and support if your desire is to become an American Bulldog breeder one day. Facebook page and group called Building Better Bulldogs

Credibility

I spoke to a breeder recently that was worried about their own credibility when they discovered that delivery of their puppy certificates would take between 4-6 weeks. My response was to make sure that both parents were properly registered before the breeding took place and as soon as the litter hit the ground they should contact me with the details ensuring that they would have documents in hand when the puppies left at 8 weeks. After thinking further I came up with lots of other ways to establish your credibility as a breeder. Here is a list: Health test your breeding stock, advertise your efforts. When selecting a stud for your breeding program chose one with lots of titles, show wins and health scores. Pay your stud fee up front and have the stud owner sign the litter application when the breeding takes place. Train and trial your breeding stock, advertise your accomplishments. Ask your puppy customers for recommendations, advertise those on your website with lots of pictures and stories about your dogs. Show your dogs at conformation shows, add their wins and lots of pictures to your website. Be active in the American Bulldog community, be helpful, give good advice to new people. When you sell your litter, fully register each puppy and mail the new owner a certificate with their name on it, a 5 generation pedigree, a 3 generation picture pedigree all laminated. Align yourself with other breeders with excellent reputations and add their kennels to your website as an alternative to your potential customers. Please feel free to add your comments!

Outer Banks Bullie Bash

Thank you to everyone that attended this year’s Outer Banks Bullie Bash!  And congratulations to the winners!  The facility was perfect, the awards were the best of any ABRA/OBBA sanctioned show!  Sculptures from Matt Hicks, gorgeous!  There were over 150 raffle prizes and the silent auction was fantastic!  There were lots of events, Weight Pull, Irondog Titling, Fiestiest Puppy, Hardest Hitting, Sprint Races, Hang Time, an Irondog Triathalon and conformation for American Bulldogs, Shorty Bulls and Olde Bulldogges.  The traditional Sunday night apres show feast was delicious, so great to be able to kick back and relax with the OBX bulldoggers!  The beach house that I stayed in was second to none, gorgeous view of the ocean, super comfy and fully equipped with every amenity and a pool and a hot tub, Erica Mason, the show host went way over board to make her judges feel appreciated!!  Erica’s team, Ashley, Tommy, Patty, Zoe, Chuck and a bunch more pulled off an amazing show, thank you!

Stud Dogs

ABRA Champion, Blue Ribbon bred, ICH, NCL Clear by parentage
American Bulldog Stud, Pawsitive’s Legacy

 

If you are interested in breeding your ABRA registered American Bulldog to a male that does not belong to you here are a few things that you may want to consider.  Is the stud dog an excellent representative of the breed?  Is he a conformation Champion?  Has he had his hips x-rayed, is he clear of Ich and NCL, does he have some working titles and is he ABRA registered?  If the answer is yes to all of those questions you can feel comfortable using him as a stud dog, If you answered no to any of those questions ask yourself if there is a better option out there for you.

Every puppy that you produce is not breed worthy so why sell them like that?

Sell your puppies on a non breeding contract, if the pup turns out to be an excellent specimen of the breed, tempermentally, conformationally, functionally and healthy you can lift the non-breeding restriction.  Help us keep the over population of substandard American Bulldogs to a minimum.

If you flip over the back of the temporary puppy certificates you will see a box to initial to to make the puppy NON-Breeding.  The breeder of the puppy can change that status anytime.

Hoosier Showcase

Hello, just a quick note to tell you how excited I am about seeing everyone again on the weekend at the Hoosier Showcase, please visit the Show Website if you need details about accommodations or the show site.

I am sanctioning the conformation, all of the dogs entered in conformation must be ABRA registered, some of you have been busy sending me your registrations this week, thank you.

If your dogs are not ABRA registered you will be able to register them at the show!  Please bring a copy of your dog’s current registration certificate, pedigree and a photo stapled to a Single Dog Registration Form.  The fee is discounted to $20 for dogs entered in conformation.
