Meet the breeder

I'm Stephen H., the breeder behind Genesis American Bulldogs located in Pace, FL. We are breeding for genetics and preservation of our family tradition, not puppies. That means high-quality food sources, focused attention, and limited litters.

Q. & A. with Stephen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We had bulldogs my entire childhood, and I had pits in my early twenties but decided to switch back to ABs in my thirties. My mother also had an AB around that time, and decided she wanted to breed him in 2020. Since my AB was spayed, we purchased an old souther white female; with the goal of breeding old southern white american bulldogs like my grandfather, a florida cracker, used as catch dogs.
  • What makes your program special?

    We are heritage breeders. We are concerned with genetics and preserving the top picks to breed towards our targeted standard. We dont breed without the intention of retaining a dog to further the bloodline. Therefore, most females in our program will not have more than two litters.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include white and tan, white and black, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review for Genesis American Bulldogs We had an absolutely amazing experience with Stephen at Genesis American Bulldogs. From the very beginning, he was incredibly communicative and easy to work with. His process is straightforward, fair, and transparent. Stephen kept us updated every step of the way — sending photos and videos, sharing vet visit updates, and responding almost immediately to any questions we had. We are completely in love with our new puppy! He has such a sweet demeanor and has fit right into our family. We have young children, and he’s been wonderful with them — gentle, playful, and so well-mannered. It’s clear that Stephen and his family put a lot of love and care into raising their puppies. We are so appreciative of Stephen for giving us our newest family member. We couldn’t recommend Genesis American Bulldogs more highly!

    Our puppy buying experience with Stephen was fantastic. He kept us updated throughout the entire process. Some of the best looking American Bulldogs I've seen, and they have an excellent temperament. Our sweet Hazel is such a cuddle bug and has made herself at home instantly.

    I have been a dog owner my entire life. Always finding a local, or semi local breeder, and physically going to see and pick a puppy. Recently, a family member suggested the GoodDog website and for the first time, I was open to finding a puppy, in a way that was completely foreign to me. I was initially very hesitant to handle the process online, however once I found Genesis American Bulldogs, I was immediately drawn to their available puppies and breeding program. I did a fair amount of research, and every thing I learned was more complimentary than the last. Once I reached out to Stephen, I knew I was in good hands. Once I zeroed in on the puppy for my family, Stephen quickly provided information, pictures, videos, and most importantly, his knowledge and advice as a breeder. Stephen couldn’t have been more helpful. Always fast to respond to any questions or concerns, he kept me informed about the puppy, and what to expect. Although I had reservations in the beginning of the process, they quickly went away. I felt that I knew more about my puppy, what to expect and his lineage, than I ever had before, being physically present at a breeder. Once we received our puppy, I was even more impressed and excited than I had anticipated. My research made it clear that Genesis American Bulldogs strived for the quintessential American Bulldog in their breedings. With a strict focus on producing healthy, intelligent and loving bulldogs, Genesis American Bulldog’s has the goal of bettering the breed, while maintaining and perfecting breed standards. If you are looking for the perfect American Bulldog, a family member, friend and guardian, I highly recommend speaking to Stephen and Genesis American Bulldogs. I cannot say enough to convey how happy we are with our new puppy, and how pleasant and easy the process was.
