Roper American Bulldogs

Roper American Bulldogs All around standard type American Bulldogs with multiple generations health tested and certified, proven structure in show ring in UKC & NKC.

Proven stable temperaments for both sport dog and family companion. Truly an all around ethical breeder. My focus is staying true to the Standard Type American Bulldog breed, producing a dog that is true to type, as well as with a functional purpose. I strive to produce a dog that can be an excellent working dog, yet still remain as a stable family companion. All of my dogs have been tested on wil

d boars, and I have travelled to huge distances to get them in the woods on real hunts. I am very aware of their strengths and weaknesses both physically and mentally, and as such I select breedings accordingly, while knowing all pups can't possibly go into working homes, and subsequently must find good active pet homes where they can continue to thrive and give another family the pleasure of owning a bulldog.

Sunshine loving pair!

Got the pleasure of a visit from 11 month old Quinn from Verus x Cadie today. A lovely compact hybrid female with a beautiful confident and outgoing temperament. She had some fun playing with our little shortybull and visiting with me. Her owners are going to try dabbling in getting her into the show ring in the future for some judge's evaluations. :)

Let's take a minute to appreciate just a nice bulldog with zero conditioning, winter weight and on basic low protein kibble. Genetics will always rule over all the fancy additives and crazy fitness routines. Exercise is always important, but I do love the genetics that I started my program with.

Huge congratulations to the Kellers for their stellar weekend at the NKC show in North Carolina, USA. Khione (Blue x Fireball) at just 2 years won 2 Champion rings, becoming a Grand Champion. Then won the Grand Champion ring and the Best in Breed.

Very pleased with how this female is turning out both structurally and temperament wise. And I cannot be more pleased with her owners enthusiasm for the breed and becoming involved in dog sport. Keep on trucking Kyle Keller and Tanya Keller , you two are doing all the right things that this breed needs to move forward. Thank you Sandy Reeves for capturing this image!

I thought I might start a bit of a column on here and entitle it "Down The Rabbit Hole", as that is what I find happens to me when I get a topic in my head that I, or friends, want to know more about.Today, based on having some boarders over the weekend, I wanted to talk about nail trimming.

Something that I started doing recently was tracking teeth in my program as I did have one dog with missing teeth and it pops up. For transparency, I have decided to start submitting to OFA the dentition. Nobody can question me in 20 years. It's widely accepted that this breed has horrible teeth...well I can absolutely claim I am doing my part! I have 7 OFA dentitions being submitted soon after the final one is inspected by my vet. For $15/dog or $10 with 5 or more...why the heck not do my part in the breed and document. I encourage other breeders to do the same! I have big hands and those are some big ole 6 year old male teeth!

I have said it a million times, and I will say it again...good nail trims are key to a good foot structure and overall mobility and body movement.

It takes 2 minutes a week...perhaps some patience in the beginning to teach them and so damn easy. Handling your dog's feet for simple trims is also a first step to handling your dog for basic vet exams. These are two of my dogs feet who are due for a dremel now...and they are still not touching the floor. If your dog's nails "clack" constantly, you're going to affect their overall foot/leg/movement in the longterm if you don't address it. If you can't do your dogs nails...it's time you learn how. It takes less time to do it than it does to load them in the car to take to the vet.

Another big ole boy at 11 months old out of Verus x Cadie. Caesar is living the dream in Northern Ontario and even gets to go for rides on private plane! The Kinghaven ped really came out in this boy's head.

Train your dogs to be handled for emergencies...hell train them to allow you to dremel their nails is a first step. Here is 12 month old crazy Bolt who is generally a bit wild and excessively happy, calmly waiting for treatment. Considering I was in bad car accident and with concussion, I can't get him to a vet nor can I fight with him to be treated. He's just laying here while I figure out my medical supplies and letting me do all the things to him like a good boy! When I preach to you about the importance of this...here's an everyday example of why!

Thank you to Frame Up Digital Media for a kickass video of the working events at our show recently. James caught all 6 of the adult Roper bred adults in the Novice bitework and Hardest Hitting (Blue, Cadie, Legacy, Maple, Apollo and Khione), and Mightybull Kennel Mightybull Kennel production Arsen out of our Blue. Also included is a Pawsitive Bullies Shortybull, a few from my co host Revival American Bulldogs, and a few others in there. If you ever want some amazing footage of your working events or even just your dogs working, please reach out to Frame Up Digital Media. James is a machine with the drone and his camera and is so awesome to deal with. Thank you to BallisticK9Canada for safely catching all these dogs! Old man Blue is slowing down but still smashed on the suit getting him another Hardest Hitting win. But the young bucks are catching up and I have no doubt they'll be kicking his butt next year.

And the after math. His foot looks great considering!

For those that asked...this was what we were trying to keep in one piece until we could get to my vet.

I will lead with...I'm not a trainer and I'm not going to give training advise. We all have our own methods and this is what works for me. He's finding position, not jumping and lunging, and we slowed it down a bit to work on his reverse in fooz position. This puppy is very high drive and came to me ready to tear my hand off with anticipation because he WANTS to work. His drive is high, his desire to work for you is extremely high, he isn't handler sensitive which is perfect for me because I tend not to be a softie. I do not like puppies biting at me, and I won't say it's wrong for you to allow this in sport training, but due to my fibromyalgia, my pain sensations are extremely high, so I cant handle any more pain than I live with on daily basis. As a result, sometimes I have to accept when puppies have some setbacks in their work, but at 14 weeks tomorrow and starting to teeth, I can say this puppy is without a doubt made for me.
