ThunderBeast American Bulldogs

Est. 1998 Established in 1998, ThunderBeast American Bulldogs started as a hobby. This is NOT a business and therefore we’re in the breed NOT FOR PROFIT.

Our small collection from the original Bulldogs that came ashore to the Philippines was based on the Tan’s Big Boy bloodline which were mainly used as family/property guardians as well as functioned as simple utility dogs. Our present-day Bulldogs are based primarily on the bloodline established by OTAC Bulldogs in the UK, specifically offspring of OTAC’s Bailiff and his outcross with the Konfeder

ate bloodline. Our goal is to produce, raise and work FUNCTIONAL, TEMPERAMENTALLY STRONG AND BALANCED, INDEPENDENTLY INTELLIGENT, PHYSICALLY SOUND and STRUCTURALLY CORRECT TRUE-TO-TYPE AMERICAN BULLDOGS here in the Philippines that are excellent both at home with their family or at work in whatever capacity they do. We are focusing to improve, enhance and progress our stocks in our quest to find the finer American Bulldog that is best suited for the purpose we envision them to excel into; to establish and continue a specific bloodline that we can proudly identify as our very own, staying true and keeping as close to the traditional and original American Bulldogs’ character and purpose. We are working and tediously searching far & wide, working and discussing our shared principles with like-minded individuals who have made their significant mark and work in the breed in order to learn more about the breed and acquire dogs that we believe could help us achieve our goals. We will soon bring in dogs from old performance and hybrid bloodlines from abroad and likewise forge breeding collaborations with friends’ bloodlines to incorporate with our current dogs for an even stronger gene pool. A huge challenge that we are enthusiastically going to embark into, with the guidance of our esteemed mentors. There may be chances that a puppy/dog may potentially be made available (either companion/pet or working animal) but it will be a RARE occasion since we do not breed our Bulldogs conveniently outside of the breeding program we designed. If there is/are puppies available, they will not be priced “competitively” but our Bulldogs will not come cheap either. ThunderBeast American Bulldogs stands by the quality and temperament of our stock. We need people who will commit to our dogs not just invest on them. Honesty and integrity weigh heavily for us. If a puppy is to be raised as a companion or a pet by its new owner the dog will have NO BREEDING RIGHTS and will therefore be monitored. Potential buyers and owners of a working puppy/dog should endeavor to work on and with the dog, maintain an equally excellent breeding program to improve their program and maintain the quality and integrity of our bloodline if not to create a new distinct bloodline for themselves. Owner matching and screening will be strictly observed as we reserve the right to refuse the sale or release of any dog at our discretion. No dogs will be sold to under 30s and ALL dogs sold (if any) will be subject to our standard contract conditions. We will never allow any of our dogs go anywhere we don’t know anything about. We want to make sure that they go to where they will really be cared for and used to their best purpose, not just anyone who will make a profit out of them. We want our dogs to be handled and taken care of to the same standard that we keep and use them here if not better. ThunderBeast ABs RETAINS THE RIGHT TO BREED any of our dogs co-owned with other individuals and any arrangements pertinent to this are and will be under PRIVATE TREATY. ThunderBeast ABs WILL NOT SUPPORT, CLAIM NOR TAKE CREDIT for dogs produced from the breeding of UNTESTED DOGS/BITCHES without our knowledge REGARDLESS of the outcome. NONE OF OUR MALES ARE OPEN FOR PUBLIC STUD.

TRAINING THE AMERICAN BULLDOG

The AB is foremost a utility breed based off of a combination of Mastiff and Bulldog traits. They are naturally adept at guarding and therefore have low to moderate prey drives. They are natural, instinctive guardians and should exercise discretionary protection upon sensing what they perceive as a threat to them or their ward, whether it is their human family or property. However, there is no denying that over the years, the AB has been bred to be versatile; able to easily adapt to whatever we require of it. Of course some bloodlines are quite known to perform well in specific fields, i.e. IGP, catchwork, etc. And it is by selective breeding and design that we are able to find specific dogs that are able to perform specific tasks. But of course, there are those exceptional dogs that do excel in many diffirent disciplines and perform outstandingly well on it. Such is the type and quality of the AB’s versatility as a breed.

Training the American Bulldog to do or excel in a particular sport poses a huge deal of challenge to anyone. I have seen and met so many a trainer who would claim to be able to train ‘any breed’, specially the AB — guaranteed…, only to bail after a session or two. I have even heard one declare that ABs are naturally “untrainable”. These people don’t know dogs! They seem to fail to recognize that dogs (dog breeds) have their own unique traits, drives and thresholds to consider in order to say whether or not the dog/s is/are even trainable and can perform a task/function that is NOT naturally theirs. One has to find that dog.

According to Dave Putnam…,

“Our breed is extremely quirky or idiosyncratic. Bulldogs are therefore hard to pigeonhole or make generalized statements about. Some of the quirky behavior seems to come from a high level of intelligence and a suspicious nature.

Training ABs means that we have to think on our feet and adjust for the odd quirks that Bulldogs throw at us.”

Therefore, it is of the utmost importance that we find a trainer who understands the true American Bulldog and not just hire some schmoe who’s just there to quickly take your buck.

We have seen excellent examples of ABs who excelled, during their time, in a field where Herders reign supreme. D’Crusher’s POS Justice MR2, Kamadala’s Kovu MR1 and his son Kamadala’s Zazu are those dogs in this side of the pond. They were worked on by exceptionally knowledgeable handlers/owners and trainers to excel in a field not traditionally trekked by the breed. A knowledgeable trainer working on the American Bulldog makes the whole exercise look like an artwork. Putting it all together to reveal the total package, he creates a masterpiece.

This is ThunderBeast’s Daimōn training under the most knowledgeable and capable hands of Choyskei Aureus | Balatuba Kennel Von Zukunft.

Jäger (foreground) and nephew Dzico … saw ‘something interesting’.

First time meeting this litter of chunky 6-week old pups, where I would pick the one who would become ThunderBeast’s Morgana at OTAC Bulldogs, 8 years ago today.

This pile of huge chunky pups include Morgana’s sisters Chyna (UK) and Shaka (Croatia); brothers Repo (UK) and Argo (Finland)! There were three other puppies wandering around the yard (not in photo obviously).

She is the female (and smaller) version of Goblin. I used to say she looks like a Mini Morgana but she is in fact exactly the female version of her sire. She has ticked a lot of boxes, but I have yet to see whether or not she has something solid to bring to the table that would benefit the bloodline, and the breed as a whole, in this little side of the pond.

For now, here she is! Sexy and she knows it…

Okay, so this is a word that gets an awful lot of play in the training world, and it’s definition has come to mean an awful lot of things. Many of which, are incredibly counter-productive, if not downright dangerous.

So let’s see if we can’t clarify a few things.

Socialization isn’t:
-About letting your dog freely interact with dogs at the dog park, day care, or with friends dogs.
-About allowing your dog to meet other dogs on-leash.
-About allowing all manner of people, in all manner of mental/emotional states interact/pet/pressure your dog.
-About exposing your dog to the sights and sounds of cars, buses, motorcycles, bikes, skateboards, joggers...and allowing them to freak out, panic, aggress, hide, bark etc.
-About exposing your dog to the sights and sounds of dogs, cats, and other animals, and allowing them to freak out, aggress, lunge, bark, growl etc.

Socialization is:
-About teaching your dog the proper responses to dogs. What is and isn’t appropriate behavior, and correcting the unwanted when it appears.
-About teaching your dog to walk by the barking, lunging dog(s) on walks and ignore them, completely. Correcting if necessary to achieve this result.
-About advocating for your dog and ensuring people aren’t allowed to pressure your dog, by touching, crouching down, attempting “kisses” etc. That means being a big boy or girl, and stopping others from engaging in unwanted, uninvited interactions.
-About exposing your dog to all manner of daily life “things” and ensuring a proper response. If aggression/arousal is present, it’s corrected, if fear/arousal is present (and causes an overreaction/fleeing etc.) it’s corrected. Ask your dog to learn to ignore and not care about these “life” distractions/concerns/temptations. Teach them to listen to the training, not the world around them.
-About teaching your dog to leave other creatures alone. The cat, the bird, the cow, the goat, the other dog, is simply none of their business. If they decide those things are their business, it’s your job to correct and clarify what is and isn’t their business for them.

Socialization has become a ridiculously simplified, dumbed down, all-encompassing idea. Free interaction and exposure have been presented as a panacea, the magic gateway to a balanced dog. That’s a whole lot of B.S. you’ve been sold, by a lot of people full of B.S. 🙂

Socialization is all about teaching your dog how to behave and exist in the world...properly. People have a belief that only interactions create a well socialized dog. They don’t understand that existence is almost always preferable, and more valuable than actual interaction. Yes exposure is critical, but exposure without 100% clear guidance, and corrections for poor choices, isn’t socialization, it’s chaos, and it’s not teaching your dog what’s right, what’s wrong, and that you’ll keep them safe, so they don’t have to.

A well socialized dog isn’t fazed by the world around them. And that doesn’t come from simple exposure and interactions without guidance. Ironically, that’s precisely how you create anti-social dogs.

Think on that for a minute.

DOGZILLA 1.0

09 October, eleven months to the day we lost this big chunk of a Bulldog. He took a big chunk out of my heart that day…, TAB will never be the same.

Raijū would have been the one dog that epitomizes the ideal TAB. He would have been that and probably more until another one comes along and surpasses what he was going to be. But as fate had it, he was gone without even having proven anything for himself and for us yet. But we soldier on and continue the work. So that in the most opportuned and perfect time, we will finally find that one Bulldog that will define what a true TAB dog should be.
