Meet the breeder

I'm Stacey C., the breeder behind Bolt Action Kennel located in Webster, FL. Bred for companionship, health and conformation. We breed standard, classic, pocket Am Bullies. NO XL, exotics, micro. Our French Bulldogs are import stock. We adhere to the AKC breed standard. Our dogs don't have off standard colors/coats. We believe in preserving the breeds as meant to be.

Q. & A. with Stacey

  • Why did you start breeding?

    It all started with an ABPT named “Jake”. My husband had Jake as a pet and hog dog when I met him. After we were married, we purchased our first UKC APBT named “Brutus” in 1986. Brutus was shown in UKC a few times. From that point on for the next 18 years, we raised & showed ADBA APBTs. As years went by, we had interests in JRT, American Bulldogs, Catahoulas, Hounds, and now American Bullies.

  • What makes your program special?

    We bring years of knowledge as a judge and mentor to the American Bully breed. We thoughtfully plan out each litter with plans for our future generations. We health test breeding stock, UKC title them and make sure our dogs have the zest for life that a Bully should have per the breed standard. We also make new puppy owners part of our family and will stand by them for the life of their dog.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our American Bully puppies include lilac tri-color, lilac, blue tri-color, white, fawn sable, fawn, blue fawn, blue, and black. French Bulldog puppies include brindle, fawn, white, fawn and white, and brindle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

Great level

Bolt Action Kennel reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for American Bullies.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • DNA Profile, Full Embark Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

    Stacey was amazing. She was super responsive with communication. This was my very first time purchasing a dog on my own as an adult so it was a very big investment but Stacey made the process so easy. I really have confidence in the Good Dog app and the animals that Stacey‘s kennel produces. Our girl is bright eye bushy, tailed, and definitely getting into mischief. I will use Stacey again in the future.
