Q. & A. with Kathy
Why did you start breeding?
In 2017 I was looking to size down from my Weimaraners (and before that Danes and Dobies) and I fell head over heels for Mini Bulls. I acquired a beautiful, sassy little red & white girl, showed her to her Grand Championship and she is the foundation of my breeding program. Her Grand Champion all-white daughter, became the top female in the nation as of May 2024 and is the love of my life!
What makes your program special?
I breed to achieve the AKC breed standard and raise my puppies to be the kind of dogs I would want to love and live with. My dogs mean the world to me and I want the puppies I breed to mean the world to their owners.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, brindle and white, red and white, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Miniature Bull Terrier
About Estee
Estee (born June 17, 2021) is exactly what a mini bull is supposed to be: comical, loving, sweet and spunky, and her show career speaks to her exemplary beauty, structure and soundness. She is an AKC Bronze Grand Champion, multiple Best of Breed Winner and Best in Specialty Winner, multiple Terrier Group Placements, and in 2022 the Miniature Bull Terrier Club of America awarded her two very prestigious honors: Best White Female and the Merlinden Movement Trophy. Estee's dam is my sweet red and white Grand Champion Triumph Putting Out The Fire (Ember), and her sire is the splendid white dog Gold Grand Champion Brownstone's Ultimate Weapon (Mac), winner of the Breed at Westminster 2 years in a row. In May of 2024 Estee ranked number 3 in the breed and was the top-ranking female in the country. Estee's 1st litter produced 3 beautiful puppies, and one earned his championship title at the age of 8 months with a Best In Specialty show win!
