| Please remember when choosing a reputable breeder to keep these things in mind-- 1. ALL breeders should be competing their animals in some activity. (ie. agility, conformation, catch dog, etc) And should have titles to back up their claims. 2. Reputable breeders so DO NOT breed for SIZE, COLOR OR PROFIT. 3. Every breeder should be doing health tests. 4. BEWARE of breeders with MULTIPLE litters or who ALWAYS have pups on hand. 5.Do your homework. Ask lots of questions and go to events, join a club and learn about the breed and the people. 6. AVOID breeders that claim they have the best dogs and won't discuss short comings. All dogs have weaknesses and strengths. 7. Stay away from 'breeders' who are often changing numbers and locations. We have had the same number 405-255-3251 for 10 years. |
| Study the pedigrees of the dogs you are interested in. They are not always what they seem. Take this breeding for example: Turners Zane was breed to his bellymate sister Bowers Demos Baby Kiddy Now study the pedigrees. The sire to both of these dogs, Cell's Red Demos is a 50 pound dog. The dams lineage goes back to 48 pound Thrill Hills Bull (6xw) But this brother sister breeding created a 135 pound dog. |
| Tight inbreeding will usually produce a smaller animal than the parents. Color characteristics will follow that of the parents. It will not produce something totally different. EDUCATE YOURSELF. AND BE PATIENT. |
| Beware |
Come see our gentle 'bullies,' unfairly savaged by a currish editorial
October 6, 2006 12:50 am
AS PRESIDENT of Razors Edge and one of the founders of the American Bully, I am appalled by your Oct. 3
editorial "Bully for the bulls?" Your statements are not only offensive but inaccurate.
The "Back 2 the Bullies" convention to be held tomorrow at the Fredericksburg Expo Center is not for the
"celebration of the pit bull" as you allege; it is for public awareness of the American Bully. This is a new
breed created more than 15 years ago, and it is a separate breed from the "pit bull."
We blended different breeds together to obtain certain desired traits. The American pit bull terrier was one of the
breeds whose lineage is in the background of this breed, but it is by no means the only breed behind it.
Even the part of the lineage that is American pit bull terrier stems from United Kennel Club-registered conformation
show dogs! There is also an American Kennel Club-registered show breed in the lineage of this breed called the
American Staffordshire terrier. Some breeders even included some bulldog lineage into their breeding. This breed
has been established for over 10 years now.
The American Bully Kennel Club was created for the registry and promotion of this breed. These dogs have
extremely mellow demeanors and were bred for the purpose of companionship. If you had researched the breed or
the event, you might have learned more about what you were falsely commenting on.
We have been hosting these shows for more than four years now and have a great track record with major cities all
over the United States. These events have all been a success, and people continue to request them in their areas.
We have people flying in from all over the United States, and even confirmed guests from Japan, Italy, and the
Philippines.
These events have been amazing for bringing all types of people together from all over the world--all races and all
genders. The amount of public support has been overwhelming. For this area, the event is also helping the local
economy. Three major hotels in this area are sold out, not to mention all the restaurants and pet stores that stand
to gain business. Major pet stores, pet-feed companies, rescues, animal shelters, attorneys, and other
organizations and individuals are backing and sponsoring this event.
To talk about this event in the context of young girls murdered by a serial killer is sick. How do you think the families
of those children feel seeing that incident brought back up and being used in association with a dog show?
Then to talk about a sanctioned dog show in connection with a mauling by a pack of dogs running at large? The
dogs that mauled Dorothy Sullivan weren't even pure pit bulls. But whatever breed they were, the tragedy has no
correlation with this show. The poor woman who was mauled deserves more respect than to be brought into a
commentary about a dog show. This entire editorial was plain sick.
At our event, the local animal control office maintains a booth with a donations box set up for its shelter. Also with
booths are dog-rescue organizations that inform the public about all the dogs being put to sleep in shelters. Also at
show we have a task force that seeks to bring to justice illegal dog fighters. We have a lady who runs programs in
the low-income areas of major cities, and who helps underprivileged children through working with dogs.
We have five nonprofit organizations manning booths. As people from all over the world come to our event, we
even have the local police department working there to ensure the safety of all patrons and participants.
At our event, nothing illegal is being promoted, permitted, or advertised. We have done no wrong at all. Our event
simply seeks to certain promote a breed in a positive way.
Your editorial misinformed the public about the nature of "Back 2 the Bullies" and the breed it highlights.
DAVE WILSON of Spotsylvania County is president of Razor's Edge, the main company sponsoring
tomorrow's Back 2 the Bullies convention.
