Do we stand a chance at winnng the Pit Bull ban in supreme court? Many believe so. Do you want to see the case to the Supreme court of Canada?

If your answer is YES then YOU must to something to make this happen. The groups that are supporting the legal challenge are in need of funds to go ahead. They must raise $100.000. if they are to proceed and this MUST be done in 3 weeks!!!! One thousand people need to raise $100. each. Can it be done?

There are many ways of helping out. Do your own fundraiser and donate the funds to www.bannedaide.com

Become a member of The Dog Legislation Council of Canada (as these monies do toward the legal challenge). Membership fees are $50.00 a year.

We need to do something NOW if the legal challenge is to proceed and as of today they say they are willing to continue but the funds must be raised. I am donating myself and doing what I can in order for it to go ahead.

If each of us reaches out to as many as we can then we stand a good chance of seeing this move forward. A call for help and assistance needs to be posted to as many places as we can reach. If I try and do it myself, I will be off facebook and am very close to that right now so will need everyone’s help.

If each of us reaches out to as many as possible we can do this. Are WE ready to purge ahead?

Already funds are coming in but we need more.

Any ideas? Comments? Committments?

I am one in a thousand and will commit to $100.00 and hopefully will be able to contribute more.

the Canadian winter can get pretty nasty. With temperatures hitting extreme lows. We are lucky that we have a heavily wooded lot so it brakes down on the wind. The building we call the american bulldog kennel has gone extensive renovation over the last 36 months. 36 months ago this structure was home to a family of raccoons some old paint cans and used motor oils and a slew of rats judging from the droppings I found everywhere. The roof had more holes than my pasta strainer. The lot was graded in a way that when it rained all the water accumulated exactly where the building stood. Originally when the building was erected it was placed on a 6 inch concrete floor which was nice. to bad for the grading. The framing itself is 2 by 4 probably 30 to 40 years old judging by the materials. The framing itself was done well and other than a bit of water damage was ok. The building was sheathed with 5/8 plywood that was rotted in spots from the spring thaws. The plywood was was coated with a reddish maroon faded chipped paint that had seen its day long ago. In the front of the building where the door and bay window now stand was a irregular double barn door that didn’t line up nor did it close. When closed tight there was a 5 inch gap between the two doors. To compensate for this a piece of plywood overlapped the two doors to make a “seal” . There was a window in the back that was single plain glass and was about 20 or 30 years older than the structure itself. We moved in just as summer was coming to close and had our hands full with the adjacent building we call our home.. The kennel stood as storage space for the first winter. The american bulldogs were in the house and we only had about 5 american bulldogs or so. The following year we redirected the water away from the american bulldog kennel somewhat.. We did have a contractor erect for runs that stood in the back of the building and overlooked the ravine. The runs are 4 ft wide and 30 feet long so the american bulldogs can get plenty of exercise. The american bulldogs do like the long runs and it was worth the extra money. The only thing changed when adding the new runs was the choice of stone i used on the ground of the runs. When we put in the original runs we slopped the ground 3% moving away from the building and brought in a stone slinger and covered the ground with two to four inch clear river stone. This material is easy to clean looks great but if the american bulldogs don’t grow up on it takes time for them to get used to it. Since we didn’t use a landscapers cloth when we did our grading the stone sinks into the ground over time as the dogs run over it and disappears. Because there was 6 inches of it was ok to keep clean by way of power washing and picking up the shit. It was long that we changed to the meat diet and moved away from the kibble. As we found that the dogs ate less and shit less looked better on the meat. Believe it or not its cheaper to feed a dozen american bulldogs fresh meat than a middle of the road kibble and much less to clean up to! Well thats it for today look for part2 later tomorrow or on the weekend.

Very proud to announce that the 4 little American bulldog butterballs are doing perfect. Growing like weeds eating like champs. American bulldog Brooklyn always produces STRONG offspring. The little guys eyes started to open up last night and now they are quite vocal about what they see.

Took some weight of the American bulldog pups just to see where we are since a week ago:

female 1 1470 grams the one with tan eye pach
male 1 1570 grams double eye pach and tan body suit
male 2 1590 grams mostly white some brindle
female 2 1495 grams mostly white with eye pach

I took Charlie and Feisty ( American Bulldogs) for a walk down to the protected lands behind our house earlier. Feisty is a pleasure to walk and is coming along very nicely as an American bulldog gal goes. She has got great proportions for an American bulldog : big bones a tone of muscle in all the right spots. Her high metabolism really shows of her muscles well. Her temperament is a little timid and submissive outside of her American bulldog kennel but not to the point t hat its embarrassing on a walk. Good part is American bulldog Feisty doesn’t pull, stays close and she doesn’t cause a scene when strangers approach. The folks at swamp dog know how to breed a good American bulldog. In my opinion they are one of the best American Bulldog kennels stateside that I ve had the pleasure of coming into contact with.

American Bulldog Charlie and I have a great rapport but today the little prick pissed me off. Never a good thing when a 4 legged tail wagger can get your blood going. I guess my own state of mind is to blame, maybe my thoughts were elsewhere. In retrospect they were. I knew what he was doing, was pissing me off and I knew why he was doing it. Also I knew how to correct him but my anger and poor state of mind was in the way.

Dogs have been around as long as we have been roaming this place called earth either by our side or on the wayside. In one shape or other dogs have evolved in there own way and along this journey have established a code of conduct a social order that is common knowledge among all dogs. These rules or guidelines are passed from mother to pup through DNA and the first weeks of the pups life before Mum kicks them out of the den. The smart ones pick up and go on to father multiple litters of and spend their days scratching, licking, chewing, farting and sleeping while we cater to their needs. There are the halfwits that need a kick in the ass to get with the program but eventually find the right handler to live out there time.

Before I get off topic the bottom line here is that dogs are born with a purpose. To reproduce. Everything they do has something to do with getting it on and pumping out some offspring. They eat to be strong to breed. They sleep to be rested to breed they mount other dogs to show there dominance over other dogs to breed. List goes on.. A male may bark at another to keep him away from his gal or just to let him to keep on moving. When your boy American bulldog lifts his leg on the neighborhood fire hydrant that all the dogs frequent. He is leaving a business card. When another rolls up to the hydrant its like he is picking up a business card. If this is a female the card will tell her that this is a male roughly how old his vitality his over all health, weather he is carrying any diseases and and his standing in the pack and probably much, much more. Its funny how a sprinkle of pee can say so much about a being.

Think about that. Its no coincidence that your dog just doesn’t dump the whole bladder 2 inches from your door and run back inside. When our American bulldog Big Papa Chop goes for a walk he will inspect and dribble at least a few dozen times in a span of a couple hundred feet if hes been deprived of some loving. If he is a happy American bulldog he just might leave his business in a few spots just to put the word out that hes in demand and available if needed. Having had the privilege of being with American Bulldog Chopper for the span of his life this far all I can say is that he is a straight up champ player and the ladies know it. Not all dogs are made equal. Some are better than others and its amazing how nature manifest this. Take a look. Strong will survive.
One step further. Take one male American bulldog and put him in one run put the other male American bulldog in an adjacent run. Introduce the American bulldog gal in hat to the first stud. Give them some time to sniff court and do whatever they do. Then take her out put her in with the other stud. Give them some time. Now the female has been in contact with two studs. Here is the cool thing. She will pick one. She can figure out from interacting and through sense of smell among other things which one is stronger/ healthier more fertile and a better mach for her DNA make up. Ultimately she knows how to spot a winner or weener ..What to look for down to the dna level, who will produce stronger offspring for her. WOW. The cherry on the cake to me is once she pics her stud the one that compliments her best the one that will give her pups the best chance of survival in this messed up place we dwell in she wont get it on with him until she is at the exact right time of her cycle. Dogs heat last 3 weeks . First week coming into heat ” swelling, spotting” , a week or more like 5 days to get it on. and 7 to 10 days coming out of it. That’s basically 21 days which 5 of which she can actually get pregnant. If you ever have a chance to watch a couple dogs get it on you will just have to laugh if you are a guy. Once the gal picks her boy but isn’t quite at the right time of her cycle SHE WILL NOT let her mount her and enter her. The stud is stuck at third base till she is ready for the act to produce offspring. There is nothing he can do about it either lol. I don’t mean to laugh but its painfully funny, the gal will just tease the hell out of the stud and keep his interest till the time for mother nature to do her thing is right . The stud will be crying, slobbering, panting, sometimes hyperventilating and begging and she will just string him along until everything lines up and pow POW POW we have a lock .. Once its on its on they will go at it, like dogs as the saying goes. But amazing how calculated it is. For every good lock in a fertile American Bulldog expect 2 to 4 pups, with 3 good locks from healthy prime couple we have seen 16 pups or less, 8 is the average.
Breeders tend to keep female pups from large litters, that isn’t by chance some moms have big litter other just 2 or 3 pups. Breeders like big litters. So if you keep a girl from a litter of 16 chances are she can duplicate that for you, given the right circumstances.
As a footnote large litter in dogs are a way of combating mother nature as the odds of survival are better when numbers are greater simple math.
Now back to mother nature. Nature is a unstoppable force. Man has been trying to tame her since he got here and shes been kicking his ass ever since. You cant beat her shes seen it all played every hand, no Einstein is going to teach her a new trick. If man could just learn to play her game and give her her due it would be a beautiful world. But egos and bank accounts, arrogance, hatred, plain stupidity,bullshit seem to win the day.

Since im on a rant already I want to keep my rant to one subject lol. The subject is how amazing the dog culture and world really is.
Some time ago I came to realize something quite cool. Picture this if survival is the name of the game and you want your offspring to have the best chance at it how can you put the odds in your favor. Of course you cant get on a plane and relocate to a place with better life expectancy or a higher standard of living or go get your phd to get yourself in a higher tax bracket you cant even pick and choose your diet because what you got is what it is.. if you could do better you would have already done it. But what a dog in heat can do is take on multiple partners. Now by multiple partners she will pick the strongest of the offered. So lets say there are 6 studs milling around she will take 2 or so. Why though? and no its not because shes a dog and happy to hump whatever comes up. A female can carry distinctively different offspring from each partner shes been with throughout her fertile stage of her heat. Think of the advantage. Pretty frikken cool.

Hi Steel City

I’m just emailing a couple new pictures of Dutch. He is doing great and I am still geeting comments on how great he looks. Let me know if the pictures turn out alright.

Thanks,
