ADVANTAGES TO USING A STUD DOG

Many that get started in the dog breeding business usually purchase a stud dog or two along with some female dogs. As Venomline discussed in American Bully Breeding 101, the better way of going about this is to start off by purchasing female dogs.

When your female reaches breeding age you can contact the kennels that offer stud service or contact the kennel you purchased your female puppy from to use their Studs.

Housing, feeding, and taking care of stud dogs is expensive and you’re not always guaranteed to have a great stud dog once they mature.

FINDING AN AMERICAN BULLY STUD

There are many ways to find a Top American Bully Stud — these can include in person events like dog shows hosted by the ABKC, UKC, BRC, a search on any of the online pedigree database like Bullypedia, BullyPedex or BullyDex.

These can be especially useful if you’re considering line breeding and looking for a common ancestor. Lastly, through word of mouth or by traveling to the Stud Owner to see the Stud in person. Breeders that photoshop their dogs will do just about anything possible in order to avoid having their Customers seeing their dogs in person. It’s understandable if Top Stud owner is busy, but most will make time for their Customers who are traveling down.

If you get a resistance when asking if you can see the Stud in person for the breeding — this is usually a red flag. Not every Stud dog online is what they look like in photos.

DECIDING ON AMERICAN BULLY STUD

GETTING DETAILED PEDIGREE INFORMATION

Choosing a Stud is a big decision and one that can set up your kennel for success. Be sure to get detailed pedigree information on the dogs to ensure that you are getting a quality linebred dog (meaning the same ancestors appear more than once in the 4 generation pedigree)

Linebred and inbred Studs will usually produce more consistent litters than a scatterbred one. Kennels that have been around for a while and have quality productions will usually linebreed.

All Studs at Venomline are linebred or inbred, health tested, DNA-Profiled and carry all colors including every tri color variation and bred to produce.

But don’t take our word for it — always check a Stud’s Productions.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN AN AMERICAN BULLY STUD

LINEBRED/INBRED VS SCATTERBRED

As mentioned above — linebred and inbred Studs have a higher likelihood of passing on traits to their offspring. By using a linebred or inbred Stud over a scatterbred one — the results become apparent in the quality and consistency of a litter.

It’s not difficult to figure out why — basic genetics & simple math: a dog that carries more copies of the desired genes — will have a higher likelihood of passing on them on to their offspring.

NOT ALL LINEBRED/INBRED DOGS MAKE GREAT STUD DOGS

Venomline’s Savage — 2X Venom

Now this doesn’t mean that all inbred and linebred dogs make great Sires. There are plenty of disasters of linebred/inbred Studs all over the place.

A quick scroll through any of the bully groups on Facebook and you’ll find there’s no shortage of examples. Take a look at any of the exotic bully groups if you really want to see some mistakes.

SETTING TRAITS

ABKC Champion Homicide — 2X GrCh Chumper

It’s important to understand that inbreeding and linebreeding are tools used to set traits. But, like the benefits, there’s also downside to closely related breedings. Inbreeding can be a double edged sword that can cause a lot of issues if done irresponsibly.

These types of breedings should only be carried out by experienced breeders that have a full understanding of the risks involved.

To avoid the COI (Coefficient of Inbreeding) from getting too high, an outcross os recommended immediately following an inbreeding.

INBREEDING & LINEBREEDING

ABKC Champion Venomline’s Lil’ Ting | 2X Venom

The word inbreeding carries with it a negative connotation by those unfamiliar with dog breeding, but the best examples of nearly every recognized breed since man domesticated the dog — have been the direct result of careful selection, linebreeding and inbreeding.

Again, inbreeding is done to set traits. But be aware that this doesn’t mean you’re just doubling up on the good, You’re also doubling up on the bad — this includes negative recessive traits and/or genetic disease. Ones that you may not have been aware even existed.

SHOW DOGS VS BROOD STOCK

Venomline’s King Koopa (2X Venom son)

Another common mistake that’s often made is assuming that just because a dog is a show dog, a Champion or just a good looking dog — that this automatically makes them a suitable Stud.

Just because a dog carries “type” or is proven in the Show ring — this includes Champion & Grand Champions — does not automatically mean that they will be great Stud dogs.

COMMON MISTAKES

Avoid common mistakes that can be costly when starting out — by going with a reliable breeder. There are plenty of Stud owners that will be happy to take you money — but not all of them will deliver. This is especially true when importing semen Internationally. Stud owners who aren’t experienced Shipping Internationally — aren’t always familiar with the testing requirements to import.

Each country has different import requirements and testing that’s required that has to be completed (often within a specific timeframe). If the required testing isn’t completed within this set time frame — or if the breeding units aren’t prepared, packaged or labeled correctly — the shipment can end up getting held up in customs with some not even making it into the country. It happens more than you’d expect.

So while some of the breeders may not have bad intentions — many will end up not being able to get shipments into the Customer’s country — and providing the services that they were paid for. Others are outright scams.

Avoid these issues by choosing an experienced breeder with a good reputation. One that can provide referrals of Customers that have successfully imported semen into your country. Be sure that your shipment is insured as protection in the event a tank goes missing or is held up by Customs.

Lastly, all details of the transaction, payment amount and exactly what the Stud owner agrees to provide for the amount paid in Contract.

MISTAKES TO AVOID

  • Inexperienced/Unreliable Breeders
  • Scams
  • International — Breeders are often quick to accept money from a Customer but aren’t always familiar or experienced with the different countries’ import requirements
  • Insurance
  • Contract

RESERVING A STUD

Deciding on an American Bully Stud should be an exciting and stress free process. Choosing the right stud & kennels or bloodlines to work with are 2 key factors that play a huge role in determining how likely you are to become a successful american bully breeder.

The first step in reserving a Stud is usually to contact the Stud owner. Quality programs usually require approval of the female. The approval process is usually pretty straight forward: send a few photos of the female as well as her pedigree.

If you don’t have an online pedigree set up, send a screenshot of the front and inside of your registration paperwork to the Stud owner. Once the female is approved, Studs can usually be reserved by leaving a deposit. A deposit “locks-in” a Stud’s current rate. If a Stud’s fee goes up — you’re still locked in at the rate when you reserved the Stud.

Deposits for quality Studs are typically $1000.

Venomline Studs can be reserved by leaving a deposit or Customers can pay for the Stud in full (up front) to receive discounted rates.

STEPS TO RESERVE A STUD DOG

  • Initial Contact
  • Approval of female
  • Payment to reserve- Deposit to lock-in current rate, paid in full (up front discount)

STUD CONTRACT

  • Terms
  • Female Doesn’t get pregnant
  • # of puppies considered a litter
  • Repeat Breedings

WHEN TO CONTACT STUD OWNER

Contact the Stud owner as soon as your female begins her heat. Most Stud owners count 1st drops of blood as day 1 of heat. Give the Stud owner a call or shoot them a quick text so they’re aware that your female has begun her heat cycle.

Good stud owners will walk their Customers through the entire process, making it stress free.

Always give the stud owner a heads up — nothing drives a Stud owner crazier than the Customer who texts or calls last minute, without prior mention that the female is even in heat and without previous progesterone results — “she’s ready. Go ahead and send it out.”

PROGESTERONE TESTING

Looking on the internet for information on progesterone testing is a nightmare. It’s nearly impossible to find information on what the #’s mean, or what numbers that would be ideal for breeding. Several websites will offer different advice and many vets aren’t helpful at all.

WHEN TO BEGIN PROGESTERONE TESTING

We recommend scheduling a first progesterone test beginning on day 4 or 5 of her heat. We count day 1 of heat as when the female first drops blood.

  • Day 1 of heat cycle is counted as the 1st day a female in heat drops blood.
  • Schedule a pre-breeding exam and/or 1st progesterone test for day 4–5 of heat.
  • Test regularly and communicate with the Stud Owner

UNDERSTANDING PROGESTERONE RESULTS

Progesterone results typically come in 2 forms: IDEXX and MiniVidas

  • IDEXX
  • Mini Vidas

AT WHAT PROGESTERONE LEVEL WILL FEMALES BE READY TO BE BRED?

There is no single exact number for determining the time of ovulation; we are looking for a number between 4ng/ml to 8ng/ml as the start of ovulation. Most typical bitches ovulate around 5ng/ml.

To keep things simple — we count ovulation as occurring between 5–5.5

FINDING THE BEST BREEDING DAY(S)

Once you’ve determined the day of ovulation, you now know (approximately) when the female has dropped her eggs. Remember, ovulation is when the female releases her eggs, it still takes 48–72 hours before those eggs are mature enough to be fertilized.

THE BEST BREEDING DAY(S) WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE METHOD OF BREEDING & WHETHER LIVE, FRESH CHILLED OR FROZEN SEMEN IS USED:

  • Natural Ties
  • Live Breeding/Side by Side AI
  • Regular AI w/Shipped Fresh Chilled
  • TCI
  • Surgical insemination (Surgical AI)

Ask your vet if they perform Surgical AI and TCI beforehand so you know your options.

TYPES OF ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION (AI’S)

Artificial insemination (AI) can be performed by a number of different methods and utilizing sperm from fresh, extended or frozen sources.

  • Regular AI
  • TCI
  • Surgical Insemination

1. LIVE/SIDE BY SIDE AI (REGULAR AI)

Regular AI’s — sometimes referred to as side-by-side AI’s use fresh semen, but instead of the male depositing sperm inside the female, our repro specialist will collect the semen and then inserts it into the female.

The timing for natural mating and side-by-side AI is more forgiving because fresh semen can live within the uterus for 5–6 days.

  • 24–48 hours (1–2 days) after progesterone reaches 5ng/ml.
  • Skip a day and do a 2nd AI if you have the option available to you

2. TRANS-CERVICAL INSEMINATION (TCI)

Trans-cervical insemination is a method to deliver sperm directly into the uterus, bypassing the cervix. The advantage is the same as the surgical intrauterine method of insemination (commonly called an implant). Many sperm may not penetrate the cervix after a routine vaginal insemination. This can be especially true for frozen or chilled semen, or in cases of bitch or stud dog decreased fertility

3. SURGICAL INSEMINATION (SURGICAL AI)

Surgical Insemination is a good choice for older females, females with poor fertility (those that have had trouble becoming pregnant) and those with uterine pathology. An incision is made into the abdomen and the semen is injected into the base both horns.

Conception rates can be as high as 80–85% when the estrus cycle has been appropriately managed.

FRESH CHILLED SEMEN

NATURAL BREEDING\REGULAR AI W/FRESH SEMEN

  • Begin 12-24 hours after ovulation
  • Skip a day/follow w/2nd breeding if the option is available

TCI W/FRESH CHILLED SEMEN

  • 24–48 hours (2 days) after progesterone reaches 5ng/ml.

SURGICAL AI WITH FRESH-CHILLED SEMEN

  • 48–72 hours after progesterone reaches 5ng/ml

FROZEN SEMEN

SURGICAL INSEMINATION IS REQUIRED FOR SURGICAL INSEMINATION (AI)

  • 72 hours (3 days) after progesterone reaches 5ng/ml.

TESTS TO COMPLETE AHEAD OF BREEDING

The following are tests to complete with your breeding female ahead of the breeding date (before stud owner ships)

  • Pre-Breeding Checkup/Screen
  • Brucellosis
  • Rabies Vaccine
  • Heart

These tests are not all required by american bully breeders, but we recommended testing for those wanting more information on the soundness of their breeding bitch. Look for Elongated Soft Palate, trachea, or any heart or joint abnormalities.

GENETIC TESTING IN THE AMERICAN BULLY BREED

Venomline’s Dolce | 2X Venom Daughter

AMERICAN BULLY DNA-TESTING

Genetic testing can give you a better idea of any recessive traits your dog carries and if your dog is a “carrier” of any negative recessives that could come to light if bred to another dog that’s a carrier of the same issue. But, test results in the wrong hands or by someone without a full understanding of canine genetics and knowledge on the diseases which are even expressed in the american bully breed can also be problematic.

CRD is a great example of genetic disease that can show up on test results but haven’t been expressed in our breed.

Some may remember the hysteria in Australia over Embark test results.

HOW DO I TELL IF MY FEMALE IS PREGNANT?

WAYS TO FIND OUT IF YOUR FEMALE IS PREGNANT

  • Ultrasound
  • X-Ray

CONFIRMATION OF PREGNANCY

Once the breeding is complete, barring any recommended follow up appointments — usually only the case surgical insemination (surgical AI) the next appointment won’t be for another 30 days. Some vets will recommend coming back in 3 weeks, but the honest ones will tell you — they can’t see much at 21 days.

Schedule an appointment for ultrasound confirmation 30 days after the insemination. The ultrasound is good for “confirming” the breeding, but it’s difficult to get a count. Use the ultrasound appointment to find out if the breeding was a success. The next appointment won’t be for another few weeks, and that’s the X-ray to get a count. Some vets do them earlier, we usually wait until around day 56–57 to get a count and schedule the c-section.

Do not try and have the litter naturally, with the American Bully breed — you always want to do c-section delivery. One puppy getting lodged in the birth canal is all it takes to lose an entire litter and jeopardize the health of your female.

  • Ultrasound at 30 days
  • X-Ray for Count

ITEMS TO REQUEST FROM VET BEFORE LEAVING

  • Oxytocin
  • Liquid Antibiotics

NEWBORN PUPPIES

PROPER CARE FOR NEWBORN AMERICAN BULLY PUPPIES

  • 1st Milk — Colostrum
  • Separate from mom keep in laundry basket w/heating pad
  • Fluid in Lungs
  • Pinching behind ears to clear lungs
  • Bulb Syringe
  • “Swinging” puppies

WHELPING BOX

  • Separate from mom at beginning
  • Roll bars

FEEDING PUPPIES

  • Nursing on mom
  • Goats milk

WEANING

Weaning is transitioning your puppies diet from it’s mother’s milk to the solid growth diet of puppyhood. In the wild, weaning begins naturally as soon as the puppies start to develop their teeth, typically at three to four weeks of age. We begin to wean our puppies and introduce

  • Transitioning from nursing on mom to eating on their own
  • Making “mush”
  • Introducing dry food

PROVIDING STUD SERVICE WITH YOUR DOG

For those fortunate enough to have produced or purchased a nice male — there will probably come a time when people begin to ask about Stud Service. If you’ve never provided Stud Service before, this can seem like an overwhelming task at first.

But, if you prepare before offering Stud Service & collecting Customer money — and you do things the right way — you can produce quality offspring and build a happy Customer base. You can also make additional income. With the right dog that is. Without the right dog — a quality Stud with a great pedigree — you’ll be be out as soon as you get started.

VENOMLINE STUDS

THE EXTREME BUILD POCKET AMERICAN BULLY STUDS OF VENOMLINE

The Venomline Bloodline is home to some of the world’s most sought after Studs.

All of the Extreme Build Pocket American Bully Studs at Venomline are inbred or tightly linebred to produce the most consistent litters. Our Studs exhibit breed type and carry extreme features without being overdone.

Venomline Studs carry the Daxline signature headpiece, muscular neck, shoulders and build. Our Studs differ from many other kennels in that addition to carrying extreme features, they’re also extremely short & compact with short backs.

Many of the Extreme Studs today look great until they turn to the side. There’s a lot of super long dogs and for us that’s a big “no.”

While the majority of breeders and kennels have finally come to their senses with the realization that “type” should be at the very top of the list when choosing a Stud and that without it — it’s becoming increasingly difficult for many to win in the show ring — many breeders have begun to search out and select Extreme build Studs for their breeding programs.

In addition to of the Stud dogs here at Venomline also carry all colors including all tri color variations.

VENOMLINE FEMALES

THE FEMALES OF VENOMLINE

Venomline females are known for being some of the “bulliest” and most Extreme females on the planet. But what separates us from many other breeders are the females used as part of our breeding program.

It’s simple to use a top Stud, anyone can do that… but at Venomline, we know that it takes both a Top level Stud and a Top Level bitch to produce quality litters on a consistent basis.

We’ll put our females up against any lineup in the World.

FOUNDATION & THE NEXT GENERATION FEMALES

It’s fairly easy to add mass and Extreme features, what’s not easy is producing it on a complete american bully. One with angulation along with a thick strong rear on a dog that may exhibit extreme traits but is still functional. If a dog can’t run and play, in our opinion.. that’s a failure.

There are not too many kennels that are currently combining the “wow factor” and extreme traits desired in the breed while also producing balanced dogs from head to rear that are fully functional and athletic for the breed and still able to excel in the show ring.

Here you’ll find Foundation Females that are linebred to produce.

The result can be seen in our productions

Can Dogs That Have Been Vaccinated Still Get Kennel Cough?

Leave a comment

Can Vaccinated Dogs Get Kennel Cough? In short, YES! 

KENNEL COUGH

Kennel cough, also known as Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease (CIRD), is a highly contagious respiratory disease that affects dogs. The most common bacteria behind kennel cough is called Bordetella bronchiseptica. Please keep in mind; Bordetella bronchiseptica is not solely responsible for causing kennel cough; the disease causation is multiple viral and bacterial pathogens attacking cells in the respiratory tract (bacteria) and weakening the dog’s immune system (viral). 

Kennel cough is not age or breed-specific; any dog who comes into contact has a chance of becoming infected, even if vaccinated. However, young puppies, senior dogs, and dogs that are immunocompromised or have other medical conditions are more susceptible to becoming ill and may have a prolonged recovery time. 

WHAT KENNEL COUGH LOOKS LIKE

Common clinical signs include nasal discharge, sneezing, reverse-sneezing, coughing (the infamous hacking and honking sounds), respiratory distress, fever, lethargy, respiratory tract infections.

TRANSMISSION

Bordetella can be viral and/or bacterial, and the pathogens can spread everywhere. It is imperative to keep your household sanitized because Bordetella bacteria can live on surfaces for up to two full days! Any dog who is contagious touches anything considering that object or surface contaminated. We as owners do not typically look around our place and say to ourselves, ‘”Wow! My dog touched ¾ of the room, and the other ¼ is because he/she has not learned to run on the ceiling yet, and now I have to wipe everything down, immediately.” 

As the owner, you can quickly spread this from one dog to another just by touching them and having it on you, your clothes. You may have touched other numerous objects that we would typically not think to wash more often than not. Dogs transmit this contagion in various ways: through the air, droplets, and direct or in-direct contact.

EXAMPLES:

Airborne: A dog with the virus coughs or barks, expelling aerosol droplets into the air, and any dog(s) nearby has a high probability of breathing in the contagious droplets.  

Surface: 

  • Beds 
  • Blankets
  • Bowls
  • Cloth Surfaces
  • Fence
  • Grass
  • Kennel
  • Toys

Environment:

  • Boarding kennels 
  • Dog parks 
  • Dog shows
  • Grooming facilities
  • Pet stores
  • Training facilities
  • Veterinary hospital
  • Walks around the neighborhood or town

TREATMENT

Veterinarians will provide specialized tests using samples from the nose, eyes, and throat to determine the cause more accurately. Unfortunately, by the time some of us owners decide to take the dog(s) to their vet, the primary causation becomes complicated by secondary infections.

Fortunately, the condition will usually resolve on its own after a few weeks. Still, medication can help shorten their illness duration while fighting off the bacterial infection and suppressing the aggravating cough symptoms. 

During your dog(s) recovery time, you could provide (though not limited to) them a humidifier to help with their breathing, walking your dog with a harness rather than a leash, keeping their stress to a minimum, and allow them to rest. 

If you do not have access to a humidifier, the shower can be a great substitute. Start your shower on hot and leave running. The condensation will help open up your dog’s airway and help with breathing. If your mirrors are fogging up- you’re doing it right.

VACCINATION

The Bordetella bronchiseptica vaccine is available; some may call it the Bordetella shot or kennel cough vaccine. There are three licensed ways to deliver the Bordetella vaccine to dogs: orally, intranasally, and subcutaneously. Please be mindful that it can take up to 72 hours after the vaccination was allocated for the efficacy to set in. 

Remember, vaccinations help circumvent things, vaccinations are not a cure-all, and we must still take appropriate precautions to keep our dogs safe.  Please help keep your dog safe by keeping up with their age-appropriate vaccinations. Ensuring your dog is healthy, you are also protecting many other dogs from potentially becoming sick.

BORDETELLA BRONCHISEPTICA

This highly infectious bacterium causes severe fits of coughing, whooping, vomiting, and, in rare cases, seizures and death. It is the primary cause of kennel cough. There are injectable and nasal spray vaccines available.

If you plan on boarding your puppy in the future, attending group training classes, or using dog daycare services, often proof of this vaccination will be a requirement.

Canine infectious tracheobronchitis, also known as Bordetella or Kennel Cough, is a highly contagious bacterial infection. When a dog contracts Kennel Cough, they develop a persistent, dry cough that sounds like they are trying to get something out of their throat. While infected dogs will eat, drink, and otherwise act normally, the cough will worsen with exercise or excitement. This infection can also make dogs more susceptible to secondary infections that can be even more serious.

In dogs, B. bronchiseptica causes acute tracheobronchitis,[10] which typically has a harsh, honking cough. Kennel cough can also be caused by canine adenovirus-2 or canine parainfluenza virus or a combination of pathogens

Viral infections such as canine parainfluenza or canine coronavirus are only spread for roughly one week following recovery;[5] however, respiratory infections involving B. bronchiseptica can be transmissible for several weeks longer.

KENNEL COUGH

Kennel cough, also known as canine infectious respiratory disease, formerly canine infectious tracheobronchitis, is an upper respiratory infection affecting dogs.[1] There are multiple causative agents, the most common being the bacterium Bordetella bronchiseptica (found in 78.7% of cases in Southern Germany), followed by canine parainfluenza virus (37.7% of cases), and to a lesser extent canine coronavirus (9.8% of cases).[2] It is highly contagious;[3] however adult dogs may display immunity to reinfection even under constant exposure.[4] Kennel cough is so named because the infection can spread quickly among dogs in the close quarters of a kennel or animal shelter.

Viral and bacterial causes of canine cough are spread through airborne droplets produced by sneezing and coughing. These agents also spread through contact with contaminated surfaces. Symptoms begin after a several day incubation period post-exposure,[3] and in most cases will clear up on their own. However, in young puppies or immunocompromised animals, mixed or secondary infections can progress to lower respiratory infections such as pneumonia.[5]

The incubation period is 5–7 days (with a range of 3–10).[5] Symptoms can include a harsh, dry cough, retching, sneezing, snorting, gagging or vomiting in response to light pressing of the trachea or after excitement or exercise. The presence of a fever varies from case to case. If your dog has been vaccinated and gets kennel cough, they should recover much faster than in dogs who have not been vaccinated.

ABKC Champion Homicide AKA “Homie”

ABKC CHAMPION HOMICIDE AKA “HOMIE”

Welcome to our monthly newsletter. In this article we’ll cover some of the highlights from the past month at Venomline Pocket Bullies. In our last update were thrilled to announced some huge news — ABKC Champion Homicide “Homie” would be joining Venomline/NMG Bullies.

Prior to that, we covered everything you need to know about Stud Service in the American Bully breed.

Ch Homicide joins a World Class Lineup of some of the best Extreme Build Pocket American Bully Studs you’ll find anywhere in the World.

Homie arrived safely and is with us in South Florida! He passed his physical and all of his health testing & exams and is a picture of health. Homicide is now Officially Open for Stud!

JANUARY 2022 UPDATE— VENOMLINE POCKET BULLIES

Around mid December we came down with Covid and it had us down and out for about a month. We just tested clear on Monday. For those that have messaged us and did not receive a response.. this is why. We have a difficult enough time keeping up with messages on all of the various social media outlets as is — you can imagine the # of messages we need to respond to after being out for a month due to Covid.

That being said, even with Covid — we did not miss a single Stud Service while sick. Special thanks to Palm Beach Canine Repro Services. Without Andrea it wouldn’t have been possible. Please be patient as we rush to catch up.. We had close to 30 litter registrations to start the week and have now completed all but 1 or 2.

If you are still needing litter registration and haven’t received yours back by tomorrow please text me during the week and I’ll make sure you’re taken care of. We appreciate your patience. As always, for business inquiries — Pup and Stud reservations text 832.452.0898 for the fastest response.

AVAILABLE PUPS FOR SALE & UPCOMING BREEDINGS

We have 2 Puppies Available for Sale and several new Upcoming Breedings that will be listed on our Website soon. Please give us a week or so to get breeding banners back in and to update our Website with Pricing & Availability.

Customers with deposits in on breedings that did not take, or on litters where there were not enough males/females produced will have 1st option on newly announced breedings before we begin accepting any new deposits.

AMERICAN BULLY STUD SERVICE

Most breeders offer a stud service. If you are new to breeding dogs, you should definitely take advantage of this.

Top Producing Stud Louis V Line’s Venom

ADVANTAGES TO USING A STUD DOG

Many that get started in the dog breeding business usually purchase a stud dog or two along with some female dogs. As Venomline discussed in American Bully Breeding 101, the better way of going about this is to start off by purchasing female dogs.

When your female reaches breeding age you can contact the kennels that offer stud service or contact the kennel you purchased your female puppy from to use their Studs.

Housing, feeding, and taking care of stud dogs is expensive and you’re not always guaranteed to have a great stud dog once they mature.

DECIDING ON AMERICAN BULLY STUD

Top Stud Louis V Line’s Omega

GET DETAILED PEDIGREE INFORMATION

Choosing a Stud is a big decision and one that can set up your kennel for success. Be sure to get detailed pedigree information on the dogs to ensure that you are getting a quality linebred dog (meaning the same ancestors appear more than once in the 4 generation pedigree)

Linebred and inbred Studs produce more consistent litters than scatterbred Studs. Successful breeders that have been around for a while and have quality productions — usually linebreed. All of the Studs at Venomline are linebred/inbred for consistency, are health tested, DNA-Profiled and carry every color and all tri color variations.

Bottom line — they’re bred to produce.But don’t take our word for it — always check a Stud’s Productions.

If you have not read Becoming An American Bully Breeder: Part I & Part II, we suggest first reading those before returning back to this article. We have included links to each below.

AMERICAN BULLY BREEDING PART I: DECIDING ON A CLASS

AMERICAN BULLY BREEDING PART II: PURCHASING FOUNDATION DOGS

AMERICAN BULLY BREEDING

LINEBRED/INBRED VS SCATTERBRED

As mentioned above — linebred and inbred Studs have a higher likelihood of passing on traits to their offspring. By using a linebred or inbred Stud over a scatterbred one — the results become apparent in the quality and consistency of a litter.

It’s not difficult to figure out why — basic genetics & simple math: a dog that carries more copies of the desired genes — will have a higher likelihood of passing on them on to their offspring.

NOT ALL LINEBRED/INBRED DOGS MAKE GREAT STUD DOGS

Venomline’s Savage — 2X Venom

Now this doesn’t mean that all inbred and linebred dogs make great Sires. There are plenty of disasters of linebred/inbred Studs all over the place.

A quick scroll through any of the bully groups on Facebook and you’ll find there’s no shortage of examples. Take a look at any of the exotic bully groups if you really want to see some mistakes.

SETTING TRAITS

ABKC Champion Homicide — 2X GrCh Chumper

It’s important to understand that inbreeding and linebreeding are tools used to set traits. But, like the benefits, there’s also downside to closely related breedings. Inbreeding can be a double edged sword that can cause a lot of issues if done irresponsibly.

These types of breedings should only be carried out by experienced breeders that have a full understanding of the risks involved.

To avoid the COI (Coefficient of Inbreeding) from getting too high, an outcross os recommended immediately following an inbreeding.

INBREEDING & LINEBREEDING

ABKC Champion Venomline’s Lil’ Ting | 2X Venom

The word inbreeding carries with it a negative connotation by those unfamiliar with dog breeding, but the best examples of nearly every recognized breed since man domesticated the dog — have been the direct result of careful selection, linebreeding and inbreeding.

Again, inbreeding is done to set traits. But be aware that this doesn’t mean you’re just doubling up on the good, You’re also doubling up on the bad — this includes negative recessive traits and/or genetic disease. Ones that you may not have been aware even existed.

SHOW DOGS VS BROOD STOCK

Venomline’s King V (Venom son + 2X Casablanca)

Another common mistake that’s often made is assuming that just because a dog is a show dog, a Champion or just a good looking dog — that this automatically makes them a suitable Stud.

Just because a dog carries “type” or is proven in the Show ring — this includes Champion & Grand Champions — does not automatically mean that they will be great Stud dogs.

COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID

Avoid common mistakes that can be costly when starting out — by going with a reliable breeder. There are plenty of Stud owners that will be happy to take you money — but not all of them will deliver. This is especially true when importing semen Internationally.

AMERICAN BULLY STUD SERVICE

INTERNATIONAL STUD SERVICE — IMPORTING AMERICAN BULLY STUDS FROM OVERSEAS

Stud owners who aren’t experienced Shipping Internationally — aren’t always familiar with the testing requirements to import. Each country has different import requirements and testing that’s required that has to be completed (often within a specific timeframe). If the required tests aren’t completed within this set time frame — or if the breeding units aren’t prepared, packaged or labeled correctly — the shipment can end up getting held up in customs with some not even making it into the country.

It happens a lot more than you’d expect.

So while some of the breeders may not have bad intentions — many will end up not being able to get shipments into the Customer’s country — and providing the services that they were paid for. Others are outright scams. Just be very careful when looking to import an American Bully Stud from the U.S. and choose to work with a reputable breeder.

INTERNATIONAL STUD SERVICE — IMPORTING VENOMLINE STUDS

When it comes to Stud Service, we ship Worldwide. For those interested in importing one of our Studs — the best way to reach Venomline is by text at 832.452.0898. We no longer check WhatsApp due to the sheer volume of messages becoming impossible to keep up with. We are familiar and experienced with Shipping Internationally and have shipped all over the World.

Over the next month or so we will be adding each Country’s import requirements to our site to make things much more simple for those outside the United States to reserve our Studs while getting a better understanding of their Country’s unique requirements. We will cover the entire process from start to finish as well as the cost of shipping you can expect to pay to import Venomline Studs into your particular country.

If you ever wonder how some kennels seem to always produce top quality dogs and consistent litters, while others can take a great dog from a great line and run it to shit in just a few short years, the answer is usually pretty simple. 99% of breeders (especially in the American Bully breed) don’t do any research, have no understanding of basic genetics, couldn’t name a single breeding technique and have no breeding plan. Their gameplan: breed two dogs that “look cool” together.

Most have not put in the work to hone their craft. Yet they will be surprised and upset when they don’t end up with your results.

You can pass up the competition in just a few short years by dedicating the time and energy to study up on those who have had success and by applying those techniques to your breeding plan.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist either. I’m not. Far from it. But you have a small supercomputer with unlimited information in your pocket. Quit being lazy and Google some shit. Respectfully, of course.

VENOMLINE POCKET BULLIES

Louis V Line’s Venom

Originally from Houston, Texas, we are now located in sunny South Florida.

We are proud to have in-house and to have produced several ABKC Pocket American Bully Champions. Our dogs have been featured in Rolling Stone Magazine, BULLY KING Magazine, Bully Girl Magazine, in Music Videos and on television (NBC, Barcroft Animals)

Louis V Line’s Omega

Venomline is known for producing some of the thickest dogs in the world, without sacrificing conformation or health. Our dogs are known for having massive heads, dense bone, broad chests, wide shoulders, short muzzles, and being packed rock solid with muscle on short & compact frames.

We are different than most kennels in the fact that we do not use a traditional kennel set up. Our dogs sleep in beds and are a part of our family, not kept locked up in kennels all day. We pride ourselves in producing dogs that have “wow” factor along with great temperament and athleticism despite the heavy muscle/bone they carry.

ABKC Champion Homicide AKA “Homie”

Our dogs are DNA & Health Tested, pups come with health certificate, ABKC registration paperwork, shots & de-worming as well as a health guarantee covering any genetic related issues.

We ship semen (Stud Service) worldwide. View our World Class Studs. We are also experienced and familiar with the import process and regulations for shipping semen to any country.

Venomline (South Florida) is proud to announce the opening of our 2nd location- Venomline South located in North Carolina.

THE WORLD’S BEST EXTREME BUILD POCKET BULLIES

We may not have as many litters each year many other breeders.. but don’t get it twisted — we’ve been producing the best Extreme Build Pocket Bullies you’ll find anywhere in the World. In 2021 we had 7 litters — our most ever in a single year. We were hoping for more — but unfortunately had some breedings miss to finish the year. It happens.. it’s all part of the game.

Despite having less breedings per year, our Productions can be put up against any in the Country (including ones with double, triple, or quadruple the # of litters each year). The difference isn’t just visibly clear — they’re proving it in the Show Ring!

We’re proud to announce that for 2021 we Produced more Champions & Grand Champions from in-house breedings than any other kennel last year — despite the smaller sample size.

We finished out 2021 with 3 ABKC Grand Champions and 9 ABKC Champions produced from our in-house breedings. This doesn’t include Champions produced when one of our Studs was used. If we were to include those, that number would be even higher.

There’s a reason our dogs cost what they do and why our litters sell out within hours of being added to our Website.

THE TOP AMERICAN BULLY BLOODLINES

Venomline productions are top of the line — we’ve worked extremely hard over the past several years to become one of the most consistent American Bully bloodlines in the world. We will continue to work hard through all of 2022 — to introduce as many new people as possible to this incredible breed.

Another goal for this upcoming year is to give back — by giving more time to help educate and teach those that may be newer than us but are serious about learning more — through mentorship. Lastly, we will have our dogs out and in the public eye this year.

We took off from all shows in 2021 due to Covid-19 — some of our best dogs haven’t been seen by the Public yet.

We will have a much stronger presence at Shows this year… meaning a lot of people will be laying eyes on our dogs for the 1st time in person.

This will only increase the value of our Customer’s stock and demand for our dogs — thus increasing demand and the value of our Customers litters when they use one of our Studs. If you’re not currently working with a breeder that’s constantly increasing the value of your stock.. might be time to start working with one 💯

PUTTING IN THE WORK

Check out ABKC Champion Venomline’s Lil’ Ting in her 1st day show training after time off below.

PURSUIT OF THE PERFECT POCKET BULLY

We aren’t new to this. We aren’t breeding dogs to make a quick buck. We don’t just breed 2 dogs together because they look cool. Our bloodline and dogs are the result of nearly a decade of hard work, research, study of genetics and relentless pursuit of one vision: our version of the perfect American Bully.

Before social media “bully groups” were a thing — I traveled the country competing in conformation events (dog shows). I wanted to learn while getting as many people as I could to see our dogs in person. The plan worked. Our brand begin to grow… and fast. Initially through word of mouth, but then from our Customers — when their friends or family would visit and see our dogs for the 1st time. Then every time we showed up to an event, BBQ, get together or show.

BUILDING A FOLLOWING FOR YOUR KENNEL, DOGS OR BLOODLINE

CONFORMATION EVENTS (DOG SHOWS)

At some point you’re probably going to want to show your dogs. Recently there’s been video circulating of breeders publicly shaming Judges for not picking their dogs to win at a show. Not only does it make you look like a tool, it also disrespects the Judge and your competition.

Win or lose, show class and shake your opponents’s hand even if you don’t like them, feel you should have won over them or that you have the better dog.

ABKC Champion Venomline’s Lil’ Ting

Don’t get discouraged if you don’t win or even place. Learn, apply what you’ve learned and you’ll be back and better. Listen, I took several L’s before I ever won 1st in a Show. But I’d learn, improve and go back to the drawing board. Then come back.

Long before there were Youtube “subscribes” and “hearts” on Tik Tok — before deciding to join some of the newer social media sites — we’d long been producing top level dogs.

VIDEO

Omega spitting his best game to Ms. Swizz

We just recently started focusing more on Video content around 2 years ago — to better serve our Customers and to give them a better visual of our dogs. One of the things we’ll be focusing more on this upcoming year is adding more Video content. We plan on featuring several “how to” instructional and educational videos.

We’l be covering a variety of different topics — from Food & Diet, Show Training & Stacking, Workouts & Exercise, Breeding Info & Methods and more. Our goal is to share knowledge taught to us and the lessons learned the hard way from experience over the past 9 years.

See: Linebreeding, Inbreeding, Outcrossing & Advanced Breeding Methods

AVOIDING COSTLY MISTAKES

Venomline’s Dolce -2X Venom daughter

Avoid costly mistakes by going with an established breeding program that has a great reputation. There’s a big and often expensive learning curve being a newer breeder. You’ll quickly find out that very few kennels — yes, even the one that you purchased your dog from — are willing to give up information to their Customers. Most don’t want their Customers to succeed — because they’re threatened by their success.

We’re the opposite — we expect our Customers to sell their litters for higher prices when using our dogs and we expect for them to succeed. When our Customers have success — it not only benefits them. It benefits us, increases the value in our line and improves the breed.

NEW VIDEO OF VENOMLINE’S 2022 LINEUP COMING SOON

New Video Featuring Louis V Line’s Venom & Omega, Ch Homicide, Venomline’s King V, King Koopa & Savage coming soon!

VENOMLINE FEMALES

THE FEMALES OF VENOMLINE

Venomline females are known for being some of the “bulliest” and most Extreme females on the planet. But what separates us from many other breeders are the females used as part of our breeding program.

It’s simple to use a top Stud, anyone can do that… but at Venomline, we know that it takes both a Top level Stud and a Top Level bitch to produce quality litters on a consistent basis.

We’ll put our females up against any lineup in the World.

FOUNDATION & THE NEXT GENERATION FEMALES

It’s fairly easy to add mass and Extreme features, what’s not easy is producing it on a complete american bully. One with angulation along with a thick strong rear on a dog that may exhibit extreme traits but is still functional. If a dog can’t run and play, in our opinion.. that’s a failure.

There are not too many kennels that are currently combining the “wow factor” and extreme traits desired in the breed while also producing balanced dogs from head to rear that are fully functional and athletic for the breed and still able to excel in the show ring.

Here you’ll find Foundation Females that are linebred to produce.

The result can be seen in our productions

AMERICAN BULLY STUD SERVICE

Most breeders offer a stud service. If you are new to breeding dogs, you should definitely take advantage of this.

Top Producing Stud Louis V Line’s Venom

ADVANTAGES TO USING A STUD DOG

Many that get started in the dog breeding business usually purchase a stud dog or two along with some female dogs. As Venomline discussed in American Bully Breeding 101, the better way of going about this is to start off by purchasing female dogs.

When your female reaches breeding age you can contact the kennels that offer stud service or contact the kennel you purchased your female puppy from to use their Studs.

Housing, feeding, and taking care of stud dogs is expensive and you’re not always guaranteed to have a great stud dog once they mature.

FINDING AN AMERICAN BULLY STUD

There are many ways to find a Top American Bully Stud — these can include in person events like dog shows hosted by the ABKC, UKC, BRC, a search on any of the online pedigree database like Bullypedia, BullyPedex or BullyDex.

These can be especially useful if you’re considering line breeding and looking for a common ancestor. Lastly, through word of mouth or by traveling to the Stud Owner to see the Stud in person. Breeders that photoshop their dogs will do just about anything possible in order to avoid having their Customers seeing their dogs in person. It’s understandable if Top Stud owner is busy, but most will make time for their Customers who are traveling down.

If you get a resistance when asking if you can see the Stud in person for the breeding — this is usually a red flag. Not every Stud dog online is what they look like in photos.

DECIDING ON AMERICAN BULLY STUD

GET DETAILED PEDIGREE INFORMATION

Choosing a Stud is a big decision and one that can set up your kennel for success. Be sure to get detailed pedigree information on the dogs to ensure that you are getting a quality linebred dog (meaning the same ancestors appear more than once in the 4 generation pedigree)

Linebred and inbred Studs will usually produce more consistent litters than a scatterbred one. Kennels that have been around for a while and have quality productions will usually linebreed. All of the Studs at Venomline are linebred or inbred, health tested, DNA-Profiled and carry all colors including every tri color variation and bred to produce.

But don’t take our word for it — always check a Stud’s Productions.

It happens more than you’d expect. So while some of the breeders may not have bad intentions — many will end up not being able to get shipments into the Customer’s country — and providing the services that they were paid for. Others are outright scams.

Avoid all of these issues by choosing an experienced breeder with a good reputation. One that can provide referrals of Customers that have successfully imported semen into your country. Be sure that your shipment is insured as protection in the event a tank goes missing or is held up by Customs. Lastly, all details of the transaction, payment amount and exactly what the Stud owner agrees to provide for the amount paid in Contract.

AVOID THESE COMMON MISTAKES

  • Inexperienced/Unreliable Breeders
  • Scams
  • International — Breeders are often quick to accept money from a Customer but aren’t always familiar or experienced with the different countries’ import requirements
  • Insurance
  • Contract

HOW TO RESERVE AN AMERICAN BULLY STUD

Deciding on an American Bully Stud should be an exciting process stress free process. The first step in reserving a Stud is usually to contact the Stud owner. Quality programs usually require approval of the female. The approval process is usually pretty straight forward: send a few photos of the female as well as her pedigree.

If you don’t have an online pedigree set up, send a screenshot of the front and inside of your registration paperwork to the Stud owner. Once the female is approved, Studs can usually be reserved by leaving a deposit. A deposit “locks-in” a Stud’s current rate. If a Stud’s fee goes up — you’re still locked in at the rate when you reserved the Stud. Deposits for quality Studs are typically $1000.

Venomline Studs can be reserved by leaving a deposit or Customers can pay for the Stud in full (up front) to receive discounted rates.

STEPS TO RESERVING A STUD DOG

  • Initial Contact
  • Approval of female
  • Payment to reserve- Deposit to lock-in current rate, paid in full (up front discount)

HOW TO RESERVE A STUD IN ANOTHER COUNTRY WHEN YOU SPEAK DIFFERENT LANGUAGES

  • Translator – We have translators available for Customers who’s 1st language isn’t English. Don’t be afraid to reach out via text at 832.452.0898
  • WhatsApp – We no longer check WhatsApp due to the # of messages. If you have sent us messages on WhatsApp and have not received a response.. please don’t think that we are intentionally ignoring you. We receive over 150 messages on WhatsApp alone each week.. it has become impossible to keep up with them all. The best way to reach us for Available Pups, Upcoming Breedings or Stud Service is by phone or Text at 832.452.0898.

STUD CONTRACT

When reserving a Stud dog, be sure that you receive a Stud Contract that protects your investment. Make sure that all possible outcomes are covered in contract. 90% of disagreements you see online could have easily been avoided by simply having everything outlined in Contract. This protects both you and the breeder and outlines everything both parties agree to.

  • Terms
  • Repeats to Cover Unsuccessful Breeding Attempts (Female Doesn’t get pregnant)
  • The # of puppies that constitutes a litter (with us it’s 3 pups born living, 2 or less come with a repeat breeding)

WHEN TO CONTACT THE STUD OWNER

Contact the Stud owner as soon as your female begins her heat. Most Stud owners count 1st drops of blood as day 1 of heat. Give the Stud owner a call or shoot them a quick text so they’re aware that your female has begun her heat cycle. Good stud owners will walk their Customers through the entire process, making it stress free.

Always give the stud owner a heads up — nothing drives a Stud owner crazier than the Customer who texts or calls last minute, without prior mention that the female is even in heat and without previous progesterone results — “she’s ready. Go ahead and send it out.”

PROGESTERONE TESTING

Looking on the internet for information on progesterone testing is a nightmare. It’s nearly impossible to find information on what the #’s mean, or what numbers that would be ideal for breeding. Several websites will offer different advice and many vets aren’t helpful at all.

WHEN TO BEGIN PROGESTERONE TESTING

We recommend scheduling a first progesterone test beginning on day 4 or 5 of her heat. We count day 1 of heat as when the female first drops blood.

  • Day 1 of heat cycle is counted as the 1st day a female in heat drops blood.
  • Schedule a pre-breeding exam and/or 1st progesterone test for day 4–5 of heat.
  • Test regularly and communicate with the Stud Owner

UNDERSTANDING PROGESTERONE RESULTS

Progesterone results typically come in 2 forms: IDEXX and MiniVidas

  • IDEXX
  • Mini Vidas

AT WHAT PROGESTERONE LEVEL WILL FEMALES BE READY TO BE BRED?

There is no single exact number for determining the time of ovulation; we are looking for a number between 4ng/ml to 8ng/ml as the start of ovulation. Most typical bitches ovulate around 5ng/ml.

To keep things simple — we count ovulation as occurring between 5–5.5

DETERMINING THE BEST BREEDING DAY(S)

Once you’ve determined the day of ovulation, you now know (approximately) when the female has dropped her eggs. Remember, ovulation is when the female releases her eggs, it still takes 48–72 hours before those eggs are mature enough to be fertilized.

THE BEST BREEDING DAY(S) WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE METHOD OF BREEDING & WHETHER LIVE, FRESH CHILLED OR FROZEN SEMEN IS USED

  • Natural Ties
  • Live Breeding/Side by Side AI
  • Regular AI w/Shipped Fresh Chilled
  • TCI
  • Surgical insemination (Surgical AI)

Be sure to ask your vet if they perform Surgical AI and TCI beforehand so you know your options.

TYPES OF ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION

Artificial insemination (AI) can be performed by a number of different methods and utilizing sperm from fresh, extended or frozen sources.

  • Regular AI
  • TCI
  • Surgical Insemination

1. LIVE/SIDE BY SIDE AI (REGULAR AI)

Regular AI’s — sometimes referred to as side-by-side AI’s use fresh semen, but instead of the male depositing sperm inside the female, our repro specialist will collect the semen and then inserts it into the female.

The timing for natural mating and side-by-side AI is more forgiving because fresh semen can live within the uterus for 5–6 days.

  • 24–48 hours (1–2 days) after progesterone reaches 5ng/ml.
  • Skip a day and do a 2nd AI if you have the option available to you

2. TRANS-CERVICAL INSEMINATION (TCI)

Trans-cervical insemination is a method to deliver sperm directly into the uterus, bypassing the cervix. The advantage is the same as the surgical intrauterine method of insemination (commonly called an implant). Many sperm may not penetrate the cervix after a routine vaginal insemination. This can be especially true for frozen or chilled semen, or in cases of bitch or stud dog decreased fertility

TCI W/FRESH CHILLED SEMEN

  • 24–48 hours (1-2 days) after progesterone reaches 5ng/ml.

3. SURGICAL INSEMINATION (SURGICAL AI)

Surgical Insemination is a good choice for older females, females with poor fertility (those that have had trouble becoming pregnant) and those with uterine pathology. An incision is made into the abdomen and the semen is injected into the base both horns.

Conception rates can be as high as 80–85% when the estrus cycle has been appropriately managed.

SURGICAL AI WITH FRESH-CHILLED SEMEN

  • 48–72 hours after progesterone reaches 5ng/ml

FROZEN SEMEN

  • 72 hours (3 days) after progesterone reaches 5ng/ml.

TESTING TO COMPLETE AHEAD OF BREEDING

  • Pre-Breeding Checkup/Screen
  • Brucellosis
  • Rabies Vaccine
  • Heart

Not required, but recommended testing for those wanting more information on the soundness of their breeding bitch. Soft Palate, trachea, heart, joint abnormalities.

GENETIC TESTING IN THE AMERICAN BULLY BREED

Venomline’s Dolce | 2X Venom Daughter

Genetic testing can give you a better idea of any recessive traits your dog carries and if your dog is a “carrier” of any negative recessives that could come to light if bred to another dog that’s a carrier of the same issue.

But test results in the wrong hands or by someone without a full understanding of canine genetics and knowledge on the diseases which are even expressed in the american bully breed can also be problematic.

CRD is a great example of genetic disease that can show up on test results but haven’t been expressed in our breed.

Some may remember the hysteria in Australia over Embark test results.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO CONSIDER

  • Shipping or Traveling to Stud?
  • Stud Credit Expiration
  • Purchasing Stud Credit w/partner or Co-own
  • Switching of Female
  • Re-Sale of Stud Credit
  • In the Event something happens to Stud owner..

HOW TO TELL IF YOUR FEMALE IS PREGNANT

HOW TO TELL IF YOUR AMERICAN BULLY IS PREGNANT

  • Ultrasound
  • X-Ray

CONFIRMATION OF PREGNANCY

Once the breeding is complete, barring any recommended follow up appointments — usually only the case surgical insemination (surgical AI) the next appointment won’t be for another 30 days. Some vets will recommend coming back in 3 weeks, but the honest ones will tell you — they can’t see much at 21 days.

Schedule an appointment for ultrasound confirmation 30 days after the insemination. The ultrasound is good for “confirming” the breeding, but it’s difficult to get a count. Use the ultrasound appointment to find out if the breeding was a success. The next appointment won’t be for another few weeks, and that’s the X-ray to get a count. Some vets do them earlier, we usually wait until around day 56–57 to get a count and schedule the c-section.

Do not try and have the litter naturally, with the American Bully breed — you always want to do c-section delivery. One puppy getting lodged in the birth canal is all it takes to lose an entire litter and jeopardize the health of your female.

  • Ultrasound at 30 days
  • X-Ray for Count

C-SECTION IN THE AMERICAN BULLY BREED

SCHEDULING THE C-SECTION

Always opt for C-Section with the American Bully Breed. Schedule an appt with the Vet 56-57 days after insemination appointment for a Check-Up to determine the best day for the Vet to perform the C-Section. We do X-Rays around this time for a count to find out exactly how many pups are in there and to make sure we see that exact # come out. You’d be surprised at the # of times we’ve seen Vets leave one in accidentally. Schedule an X-Ray for count ahead of the C-Section.

ITEMS TO BRING TO C-SECTION

  • Laundry basket
  • Fresh towels 
  • Bulb Syringe (Aspirator)
  • Goats Milk (buy A LOT) only Meyenberg liquid no powder brands
  • Baby bottles 
  • Heating pad 

ITEMS TO REQUEST FROM VET BEFORE LEAVING

  • Oxytocin
  • Liquid Antibiotics

NEWBORN PUPPIES

PROPER CARE FOR NEWBORN AMERICAN BULLY PUPPIES

  • 1st Milk — Colostrum
  • Separate from mom keep in laundry basket w/heating pad
  • Fluid in Lungs
  • Pinching behind ears to clear lungs
  • Bulb Syringe
  • “Swinging” puppies

WHELPING AMERICAN BULLY PUPPIES

WHELPING BOX

  • Separate from mom at beginning – For the 1st 2 weeks keep pups in laundry basket with towels and heating pad underneath. Do not leave newborn pups in with mom for the 1st 2 weeks. This is a simple solution that will prevent you from losing puppies due to being squished, suffocated and it also helps pups regulate their temps. After 2 weeks, your puppies will be string enough to move on their own if they are caught in a compromising situation.
  • Roll bars

FEEDING PUPPIES

  • Nursing on mom
  • Goats milk

WEANING

Weaning is transitioning your puppies diet from it’s mother’s milk to the solid growth diet of puppyhood. In the wild, weaning begins naturally as soon as the puppies start to develop their teeth, typically at three to four weeks of age. We begin to wean our puppies and introduce

  • Transitioning from nursing on mom to eating on their own
  • Making “mush”
  • Introducing dry food

PROVIDING STUD SERVICES WITH YOUR DOG

For those fortunate enough to have produced or purchased a nice male — there will probably come a time when people begin to ask about Stud Service. If you’ve never provided Stud Service before, this can seem like an overwhelming task at first.

But, if you prepare before offering Stud Service & collecting Customer money — and you do things the right way — you can produce quality offspring and build a happy Customer base. You can also make additional income. With the right dog that is. Without the right dog — a quality Stud with a great pedigree — you’ll be be out as soon as you get started.

Everyone with a male thinks their dog is Stud dog. This isn’t the case.

MARKETING YOUR STUD DOG

Anyone can hype up a Stud.. but if the Stud ain’t producing, those same Customers aren’t coming back.

VENOMLINE STUDS

The Venomline Bloodline is home to some of the world’s most sought after Studs.

All of the Extreme Build Pocket American Bully Studs at Venomline are inbred or tightly linebred to produce the most consistent litters. Our Studs exhibit breed type and carry extreme features without being overdone.

Venomline Studs carry the Daxline signature headpiece, muscular neck, shoulders and build. Our Studs differ from many other kennels in that addition to carrying extreme features, they’re also extremely short & compact with short backs.

Many of the Extreme Studs today look great until they turn to the side. There’s a lot of super long dogs and for us that’s a big “no.”

While the majority of breeders and kennels have finally come to their senses with the realization that “type” should be at the very top of the list when choosing a Stud and that without it — it’s becoming increasingly difficult for many to win in the show ring — many breeders have begun to search out and select Extreme build Studs for their breeding programs.

In addition to of the Stud dogs here at Venomline also carry all colors including all tri color variations.

VENOMLINE FEMALES

THE FEMALES OF VENOMLINE

Venomline females are known for being some of the “bulliest” and most Extreme females on the planet. But what separates us from many other breeders are the females used as part of our breeding program.

It’s simple to use a top Stud, anyone can do that… but at Venomline, we know that it takes both a Top level Stud and a Top Level bitch to produce quality litters on a consistent basis.

We’ll put our females up against any lineup in the World.

FOUNDATION & THE NEXT GENERATION FEMALES

It’s fairly easy to add mass and Extreme features, what’s not easy is producing it on a complete american bully. One with angulation along with a thick strong rear on a dog that may exhibit extreme traits but is still functional. If a dog can’t run and play, in our opinion.. that’s a failure.

There are not too many kennels that are currently combining the “wow factor” and extreme traits desired in the breed while also producing balanced dogs from head to rear that are fully functional and athletic for the breed and still able to excel in the show ring.

Here you’ll find Foundation Females that are linebred to produce.

The result can be seen in our productions

In this article, we have a huge announcement, a few updates on recent litters and new Upcoming Breeding pairs to announce.

ABKC CHAMPION HOMICIDE JOINS VENOMLINE

We are thrilled to announce that ABKC Champion Homicide will be joining Venom, Omega, King V, Savage & King Koopa at Venomline!

Ch Homicide, Venom, Omega & King V

ABKC CHAMPION HOMICIDE

Not only is this one of our favorite Studs outside of our yard, his pedigree (2X GrCh Chumper) fits together like a puzzle piece with some of our 2X Venom daughters, our Omega, King V & Savage daughters, but his offspring should also line up perfectly for King Koopa.

We will be doing our best — working toward finishing Ch Homicide off in the Show Ring and hopefully earning his Grand Champion Title.

Ch Homicide joins a World Class Lineup of some of the best Extreme Build Pocket American Bully Studs you’ll find anywhere in the World.

For anyone with Ch Homicide credits, we will make sure there’s a smooth transition and that your Stud Credits won’t be affected. All credits will still be honored. We will announce once Ch Homicide arrives and when we will open for Stud once we have completed health testing.

VENOMLINE’S MJ — A CLONE OF BIG SISTER ABKC CHAMPION LIL’ TING

This is the last 1st Pick keeper female that we will be making Available for Sale for a very long time. We’ve debated long and hard on this one and may end up pulling her off the site and deciding to keep her. This is Venomline’s MJ — Littermate sister to Venomline’s King Koopa, Rampage, Ch Lil’ Ting, Savage, Vanna White and all of the other standouts from the 1st ever 2X Venom breeding.

Ch Venomline’s Lil Ting at 8 months & MJ pictured at 7 months

Rampage, Ch Lil’ Ting & Savage were all produced in the original pairing, King Koopa, MJ & Rhea were produced in the repeat breeding. Venom X Moana is by far one of the best breedings we’ve ever done and many of the dogs produced in this matchup are known Worldwide.

As much as we don’t want to sell this girl, we’ve kept Rampage, Ch Lil’ Ting, Savage, King Koopa, MJ & Rhea of Venomline South. That’s 6 offspring off Venom X Moana with identical pedigrees. We are currently in the process of moving into a much larger home with more room for the dogs and have made the decision to let go of a few keepers that otherwise would never be Available for Sale.

PURCHASING AN AMERICAN BULLY PUPPY

When I first begin my research into the breed, long before making the decision to purchase an American Bully — I looked up everything I could possibly find on the breed. If it was online, in print or pertaining to the breed, I was all over it. I was definitely interested. I loved the look, personality and temperament of the bully breeds, but found myself most drawn to both the american bully and Olde English Bulldogge.

TEMPERAMENT, PERSONALITY, TRAITS, HEALTH & LIFESPAN

Purchasing a puppy is a huge decision and I wanted to find out as much as possible about each of the breeds which would be the best fit for our family and lifestyle. Another important factor influencing my decision was selecting a breed that was gentle, calm and patient. Especially with young children. I started with the basics first — researching everything from temperament, to personality, health and lifespan.

I was fascinated by the American Bully, but curious as to how a breed of dog that resembled more of a bodybuilder than pet — one with such a fierce and intimidating look — could be so gentle, loving and great with children. After nearly a decade experience with this breed, I can tell you this — they absolutely adore them. Our 8 year old 108lb Standard bully has been sleeping with our son since he was 4 years old.

Who needs a night light when you’ve got a bully?

NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY IT’S COVER

King V like his dad.. is afraid of heights

It was the “look” of the american bully that first got my attention, but the breed’s gentle nature, loving personality and silly quirks that sold me. This is truly an incredible breed! Despite their tough exterior, they are a gentle natured, sweet, playful and soft-hearted breed.

BIT BY THE “BULLY BUG?”

Like many new bully owners, I fell in love with the breed and the new addition to our family. I got bit by the “bully bug” and I was hooked. I wanted to find out more, and learn as much as possible about our new furry friend and his lineage. This led me to begin researching pedigrees and looking my dog’s ancestry. Inevitably I wound up on several different breeder’s websites.

When the time came and we were ready to add a second bully, I knew that I wanted something related to my boy. But I also wanted to see how the breeder’s puppies looked like as adults. Very few american bully breeders would provide any update or follow-up on their dogs after they’ve left as puppies. I was willing to spend good money, but for the right dog. I couldn’t seem to find any adult productions off Sires on the litters I was interested in. The puppies were cute, but how did they mature?

“What do they look like now, as adults?”

This colorful litter was Produced by Bullistic Label Bullies using Venomline’s King V at stud. I always enjoy when our customers bring their litters by for us to see. Gives me a chance to evaluate the consistency and quality in our studs productions with outside blood, and also gives me an opportunity to spend time with and get to know our customers.

Id like to give a huge shoutout to Bullistic Label Bullies for bringing their King V litter over and coming to see the dogs in person.

CUSTOMER LITTER #2: KING V X DALLAS MARIE

We were able to see another one of our stud’s litters as Rigg Tuff Bullies brought their King V litter down for photos and to meet the parents. This was another litter where King V was brought to different blood. The Dam is a Venom grandaughter (Sire to the dam was Khaleesi’s littermate) with Lucky Luciano on the bottom half of the pedigree.

Different blood, same result. Boned up structurally sound pocket american bullies with flashy colors. I liked both litters so much, I offered to purchase one of the females. Unfortunately the first litter was already sold out, but I found the perfect female in Rigg Tuff Bullies litter full of hitters.

You know your stud is producing quality when you can’t help but buy one of his offspring. We haven’t named her yet, but the blue tri female pictured below will be joining the camp and moving in with dad King V and grandpa Venom!

THE VENOMLINE BLOODLINE

THE WORLD’S BEST EXTREME BUILD POCKET BULLIES

Originally from Houston, Texas, we are now located in sunny South Florida.

We are proud to have in-house and to have produced several ABKC Pocket American Bully Champions. Our dogs have been featured in Rolling Stone Magazine, BULLY KING Magazine, Bully Girl Magazine, in Music Videos and on television (NBC, Barcroft Animals)

Venomline is known for producing some of the thickest dogs in the world, without sacrificing conformation or health. Our dogs are known for having massive heads, dense bone, broad chests, wide shoulders, short muzzles, and being packed rock solid with muscle on short & compact frames.

We are different than most kennels in the fact that we do not use a traditional kennel set up. Our dogs sleep in beds and are a part of our family, not kept locked up in kennels all day. We pride ourselves in producing dogs that have “wow” factor along with great temperament and athleticism despite the heavy muscle/bone they carry.

Our dogs are DNA & Health Tested, pups come with health certificate, ABKC registration paperwork, shots & de-worming as well as a health guarantee covering any genetic related issues. We ship semen (Stud Service) worldwide. View our World Class Studs. We are also experienced and familiar with the import process and regulations for shipping semen to any country.

Venomline (South Florida) is proud to announce the opening of our 2nd location- Venomline South located in North Carolina.

THE FEMALES OF VENOMLINE

Venomline females are known for being some of the “bulliest” and most Extreme females on the planet. But what separates us from many other breeders are the females used as part of our breeding program.

It’s simple to use a top Stud, anyone can do that… but at Venomline, we know that it takes both a Top level Stud and a Top Level bitch to produce quality litters on a consistent basis.

We’ll put out females up against any female lineup in the World.

QUALITY FEMALES ARE INTEGRAL TO A BREEDING PROGRAM’S SUCCESS

American Bully Females are integral to the success of any breeding program. Without using quality females to pair with Top Studs, litters more than likely just end up being a watered down version of what was initially intended.

Venom daughter Kilo pictured at 8 months

Knowing this, our primary focus for the past 8 years has been to produce the best possible Pocket Bully Females to match up with our Top Tier Studs.

One thing that we never lost sight of as we added the dense bone, big blocky heads, muscular builds and Extreme features, is producing a complete dog. A lot of the “Extreme” American Bullies today, or at least many of the dogs being marketed as such.. are not what we would consider a complete American Bully.

THE FOUNDATION & NEXT GENERATION FEMALES OF VENOMLINE

It’s fairly easy to add mass and Extreme features, what’s not easy is producing it on a complete american bully. One with angulation along with a thick strong rear on a dog that may exhibit extreme traits but is still functional. If a dog can’t run and play, in our opinion.. that’s a failure.

There are not too many kennels that are currently combining the “wow factor” and extreme traits desired in the breed while also producing balanced dogs from head to rear that are fully functional and athletic for the breed and still able to excel in the show ring.

Here you’ll find Foundation Females that are linebred to produce.

The result can be seen in our productions

HOW MUCH DOES AN AMERICAN BULLY COST?

3 Comments

One of the most commonly asked questions that breeders and bully enthusiasts alike often receive is “how much does an American Bully cost?”

Whether it be through email, on the various social media sites, like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and through calls, text and even WhatsApp, breeders are asked “how much” several times a day. And as much as they’d love to be able to respond to each inquiry — responding to every single one — could easily take up an entire day. This is especially true for some of the breeders who’s dogs are in higher demand.

The majority of the time, the price a breeder is asking for their dogs — can be found in the post on social media or by visiting the breeder’s website. Interested buyers (who’ve already done their research on the breed) should begin by contacting the breeder or kennel. Most of the time — the price a breeder is asking for their pups is listed (try reading) before commenting blindly and asking “how much?”

Nonetheless, this is a great topic and one of the most asked questions for those interested in the fastest growing new breed over the past few years: “how much does an American Bully cost?

Unfortunately, the answer isn’t that simple. American Bully puppy prices can vary quite a bit — depending on the breeder, bloodline or class. Price can also depend on whether the puppy comes from quality breeding or show stock or is just pet quality.

Prices for breeding/show stock on average run anywhere from $5000 to $7500, although they can be below or above this range.

Quality bloodlines and “bullier” dogs will oftentimes cost more than this. While prices for a pet quality American Bully will be much lower.

Understand that if you’re just looking for a companion and not necessarily looking to compete in conformation events or breeding stock — that you can easily find a great pet quality American Bully for less than $2500.

In this article, when we’re referring to $5,000 to $10,000 dogs — we’re referring to quality show and breeding stock.

  • Show Quality & Breeding Stock: $5000-$10,000+
  • Pet Quality w/Registration Paperwork: $2500+
  • Pets without papers: $2500-$1000

Again, these prices are just the average price you can expect to pay when buying an American Bully puppy. Prices can be well above or below this range depending on a variety of factor which we will discuss in detail below.

There are several mediocre dogs being sold for over $5000. Just like there are some incredible Champion sired American Bullies priced at or below $5000. The key is who you decide to do business with. Make sure you’re dealing with a legitimate breeder that has a good reputation. Ask for references.

Just because one breeder is asking higher prices for their dogs, doesn’t necessarily mean that their dogs are better than another breeder’s who’s puppies going at a lower price. But, keep in mind that oftentimes you get what you pay for.

New owners often end up going the cheaper route at first — only to end up spending several thousands of dollars over the course of their dog’s lifetime.

Many new owners will end up spending more than they would have spent initially had they invested a little more in a quality bloodline. A dog gets it’s genetic makeup from the dog’s in its pedigree (parents, grandparents etc.) Stop wasting money on Supplements thinking you’re going to bypass genetics.

Don’t expect to bypass genetics with food and supplements.

That being said, a proper diet and correct use of supplements and vitamins CAN help your dog reach THEIR full potential.

QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE DECIDING TO PURCHASE AN AMERICAN BULLY PUPPY

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A PET, SHOW QUALITY OR BREEDING STOCK?

The first couple of things you should ask yourself: are you looking for a pet, a Show Dog, or for Breeding Stock if you’re planning to become, or already are a breeder.

You can find a pet quality American Bully for considerably less than a bully of Show quality, or a dog worthy of becoming breeding stock. If you’re simply looking for a bully of your own to love and be a part of the family, you can find a bully that will make a great addition to the family at a working man’s price.

Those looking to Show in conformation events (dog shows) adding to an existing or breeding program or starting their own may be willing to pay much higher prices than those who are just interested in a pet to love on as part of their family.

BREEDING STOCK

Breeders looking to improve their breeding program will gladly pay even higher prices for higher quality tightly bred dogs off of proven producers as their puppy will be more likely to produce consistent litters (making the customer much more money than their initial investment in the long run)

Buyers after show dogs or breeding stock don’t necessarily mind paying higher prices for better stock — they view it as an investment.

Customers interested in showing their dogs in conformation events know that investing in a Show Quality dog from Grand Champion & Champion winning lines will increase their chances of winning in the Show Ring.

THE AMERICAN BULLY BREED

The American Bully breed was created around 1990 and gained recognition and establishment in 2004 with the inception of the American Bully Kennel Club, also known as the ABKC Registry.

The United Kennel Club or UKC recognized the American Bully breed in 2013. There are other registries, but for the purposes of this article we will mention the main few- which are the ABKC, BBCR. BRC Global and the UKC.

According to the ABKC- The American Bully breed has been selectively bred to give America’s breed, the American Pit Bull Terrier, a new direction and outlet. Like with the American Staffordshire Terrier (which is also an offshoot of the American Pit Bull Terrier) all of the positive characteristics of the breed’s ancestry were kept.

AMERICAN BULLY BREED CHARACTERISTICS & TEMPERAMENT

These Include loyalty, stability with humans and children, along with many of their physical attributes. Traits of dog and human aggression have been bred out, as they have no future purpose for this trait (outside of hunting & sport)

A reinvented breed was formed, with the purpose of being the ultimate companion breed, and this breed is the “American Bully.”

WHICH BREEDS INFLUENCED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE AMERICAN BULLY BREED?

According to the UKC- The American Bully breed stems from the American Pit Bull Terrier & American Staffordshire Terrier but it was definitely influenced by the infusion of several other breeds — which include but are not limited to — the American Bulldog, English Bulldog, Pacific Bulldog as well as the Olde English Bulldogge among other Bulldog breeds.

What differentiates the American Bully breed from it’s ancestors the American Staffordshire Terrier and the American Pit Bull Terrier (aside from genetic makeup) is the dog’s physical appearance. The American Bully is one of heavier bone structure and a “bullier” build than it’s American Pit Bull Terrier and Staffordshire Terrier ancestors, with more bone and muscle, but without many of the health issues prevalent in many of the breed’s Bulldog ancestors.

THE PERFECT COMPANION BREED

To many people, it’s the perfect blend, a breed without the game drive of a Pit Bull, yet more active and with less health issues than many of the Bulldog breeds in its makeup. The result: a calm, confident breed of dog with a statuesque build and the muscle of a bodybuilder. Despite the American Bully’s fierce and powerful appearance their demeanor is gentle, making the American Bully an excellent family companion.

The breed is known for having an affinity toward children (they adore them) and are known to have an innate ability to pick up on the emotions of their owners. A breed with a fun and quirky personality, a zest for life and an exuberant will to please their family. They are friendly with strangers, other dogs and most other animals. Human or dog aggression, extreme shyness or viciousness is very uncharacteristic of the American Bully and is highly undesirable.

EXPLOSION IN POPULARITY

The American Bully first became one of the fastest growing new breeds in 2014 and it has remained in the Top 5 every year since. In 2018, the American Bully breed became the fastest growing dog breed in terms of popularity and it hasn’t shown signs of slowing down since. The breed is on track to finish 2019 in similar fashion. So why are so many falling in love with this breed?

Even with the American Bully breed’s explosive growth and expansion into new countries and territories, there is still much confusion about the breed accompanied by several misconceptions and stereotypes. Inaccurate information online made worse by ill informed media have furthered misunderstanding regarding the breed. There are some who still confuse the American Bully with it’s cousin the American Pit Bull Terrier. But both are distinct and separate breeds, recognized by several respected registries as such.

So.. the American Bully breed has caught your eye, but there’s so many different types, bloodlines and classes to choose from that it can be a little overwhelming at first attempting to decide where to even begin. That’s ok, we’re here to help. For those new to the breed one of the first decisions to make is deciding on a class.

DECIDING ON A CLASS

This is one of the first and often overlooked steps when deciding to purchase an American Bully puppy or adult. Ask yourself, what size of bully best suits your interest? Do you want something smaller or shorter? In this case, you’ll probably want a Pocket. Like your dogs bigger? Then you probably want a Standard. If that’s not big enough for you and you’re wanting something over 100lbs and massive, then the XL class is probably for you.

There are four different classes in the American Bully. The difference between them is height. Once you’ve decided which size you prefer, next ask yourself what is your goal? Are you simply interested in a pet, or are you considering having a litter or showing in conformation events (dog shows)?

The answer to these questions will help you with where to begin your search and can also have a big effect on the price you will be paying. If you’re simply looking for a pet, you can find one for a much lower price than if you’re looking for a show dog or breeding stock. If you do plan to show or breed in the future, it often makes sense to pay for a higher quality dog than what you would be getting a pet prices.

AMERICAN BULLY CLASSES

For those who may be new to the breed and still learning, let’s take a look at the different Classes in the American Bully breed according to the founding registry- The American Bully Kennel Club, also known as the ABKC Registry as well as the United Kennel Club, referred to as the UKC.

POCKET

This is an amendment to the basic standard which a Pocket Bully is determined by its adult height.

Males under 17″ and no less than 14″ at the withers.

Females under 16″ and no less than 13″ at the withers.

 

STANDARD

The American Bully should give the impression of great strength for it’s size. It is a compact and medium/large size dog with a muscular body and blocky head.

Males 17 inches — 20 inches (43 cm — 51 cm) at the withers.

The American Bully should have the appearance of heavy bone structure with a bulky build and look.

Females 16 inches — 19 inches (40 cm — 48 cm) at the withers.

CLASSIC

This is an amendment to the basic standard. A Classic Bully is determined by it’s body structure and build. Both sex dogs with lighter body frames and less overall body mass, but still exibiting “bully” traits.

Classic Bully variety is simply an American Bully dog having lighter body frames (lighter bone) and less overall body mass (less substance) than the Standard American Bully.

Aside from this difference, the Classic Bully variety follows the same standard as the Standard American Bully.

XL

This is an amendment to the basic standard, determined by it’s adult height. It is important to note that the XL Bully variety is simply taller than the Standard American Bully.

XL dogs share the same build, body type and breed type as the Standard American Bully.

Males over 20″-23″ at the withers.

Females over 19″-22″ at the withers.

Now that you have a basic understanding of the different classes of the American Bully breed and that that a dog’s height (and sometimes build) determine what class they fit in, let’s move on to discuss important things to consider before having a litter for those considering having puppies.

BEFORE DECIDING TO BECOME AN AMERICAN BULLY BREEDER

Before making the commitment to become a breeder and establish your own bloodline, an honest appraisal of your resources is in order. First, do you have the money and time to invest in this endeavor? A large kennel facility is usually not necessary if you get two or three quality “foundation” bitches to begin with.

Do you have cash on hand for progesterone testing, artificial inseminations, emergency c-sections, vet bills, and proper care for the puppies? What if your breeding female becomes ill or develops an infection like pyometra? Do you have 3–5K saved in the event an emergency happens?

The worst possible thing that you can do is make the decision to become a breeder and then not be able to afford care for your dogs in the event of an emergency.

THE COMMITMENT INVOLVED

Perhaps even more important than space and money is the commitment to the pups that you will be producing. For a breeder to know if their breeding program is successful, ongoing evaluation of the pups is essential. Most of us do not have unlimited space, so placing pups in good homes where they will receive adequate care and nutrition, training and evaluation is going to be essential.

Once you’ve done your homework, have your resources in order, have decided on a class or type and have made the decision that you’re willing to commit to everything required to responsibly care for and breed dogs, you’re going to want to start by purchasing foundation stock.
