Breeding Plans

Please contact me for any information about this breeding.

6/2/09 I'm excited to finally be about to announce a really amazing breeding! Nia and Storm will be bred providing all the details work out. These dogs and this pedigree combined should produce some beautiful, correct dogs with that good old Gaff/Brytess-Backwoods/Baytown type. They should have fabulous temperaments, superior movement, good bone, nice heads, correct structure and good angles, and rich pigment. Nia is owned by Anthony C. but I'll be handling a lot of the screening/placements so please contact me for information.

2009 finds me preparing to compete in Rally-O with Kitty. I train at the Vallejo Dog Training Center weekly.

I'm also continuing to assist Badrap with a Pit Ed class in Vallejo. The head trainer is amazing and we have a lot of fun. If you are in the Vallejo area, please email me about the class schedules. This is a Pit Bull and PB mix only class! It's really good for other pit bull owners to hang with like minds. We love pit bulls and don't make people feel weird if their dog is having a bad day, like some obedience classes can.

I still hope to get both girls titled in obedience, weight pull Rally-O . I'm also supporting my favorite local rescue organizations any way I can, including speaking at events, using Betty as a demo-dog, and taking in the occasional foster pup.

I believe that temperament testing our dogs is as important prior to breeding as health tests such as OFA/PennHIP. Here is a snapshot of current temperament test statistics. Updated 3/12/09

American Pit Bull Terrier
586 (tested) 494 (passed) 92 (failed) 84.3% passed
American Staffordshire Terrier

Australian Shepherd

Collie

Cocker Spaniel

Golden Retriever

I don't breed often. My last litter was whelped 5/03. With the time and money spent on traveling to shows, researching pedigrees, health testing, stressing out about finding awesome homes... how could I? My goal is to produce dogs with excellent temperaments, good health, and that can hold their own in the show or performance ring. I'm happy to say there are a few other people out there doing the same thing.
