Q. & A. with
Why did you start breeding?
Dogs have always been a passion of mine and at the ripe age of 14, I started perusing my passion of showing dogs. It has been an absolute joy of a journey and I'm blessed to do what I do. I take pride in my dogs and maintain the highest standards for my program.
What makes your program special?
My program is one of the few American Bully programs which is considered a bloodline of its own with over 8 generations of produced ancestors. I strive to bring you the healthiest, most well-rounded puppies. I can provide knowledge and guidance for any family looking to bring home one of these wonderful dogs. I work with passion and integrity, and I truly want what's best for the American Bully.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
