About

Our kennel is dedicated to producing top quality dogs with an emphasis on health, temperament, and sound structure. We maintain a small, focused breeding program that focuses on improving and preserving the qualities that make this breed exceptional. We carefully select dogs based on proven pedigrees, dispositions, and adherence to breed standards.

All of our dogs are considered family members. They are raised in a home environment where they receive proper nutrition, socialization, and plenty of love. We work with several vet clinics and reproduction specialists to ensure they receive the best care possible. Each and every litter is hand-reared and socialized in our home, around children and other pets. We believe early development and socialization play vital roles in shaping confident, well-adjusted puppies that transition smoothly into their new homes. While most of our pups are dedicated companions, many pups have found success in working homes or performance activities.

We take pride in placing puppies with responsible owners and remain committed to supporting our families throughout the lifetime of their dog.

Our facility is a 36×50 foot structure that includes a fully furnished wet room, a private den for puppies, eight 5×10 indoor kennels, and two 10×10 indoor kennels, as well as an upper level for storage. The lower level provides almost 1,800 square feet of space and is under surveillance at all times. We also have an outdoor area that consists of ten 10×10 kennels and a large community run.

About Rossi River

My love for animals sparked at an early age. By the age of twelve, I had already learned to rehabilitate injured wildlife and volunteered at the local animal rescue. Since then I have worked with a variety of pet species, both domesticated and exotic. My educational and career paths depict this passion for animals. After earning a degree with honors in Biology and Biology Education in my home state of North Carolina, I obtained a baccalaureate at Oregon State University in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences, magna cum laude. There I specialized in large mammal ecology and conservation biology. I spent hundreds of hours researching grey wolves, the controversial red wolf, the critically-endangered vaquita, and elusive okapi. Shortly after, I graduated summa cum laude with a Master of Natural Resources degree focused on wildlife ecology and conflict management. My prior experience at carnivore conservation centers granted me opportunities to care for large carnivores and primates. I am fortunate to have worked with some of the rarest, most endangered animals on the planet including Timbavati lions, Bengal tigers, and Syrian brown bears, as well as baboons and black-crested gibbons.

I grew up loving dogs and even as a child do not remember a time without atleast one running around the house. We owned many bully breeds throughout my childhood, most notably a pair of American bulldogs. Their loyal and friendly nature were the epitome of what I still observe in bully breeds today. My grandfather devoted himself to weimaraners for many years, exhibiting and breeding in Germany until moving back to the states. Similarly, my mother and her siblings always favored this large hunting breed. Although I have owned a couple of weimies myself, I am incomplete without a bully causing mischief in my life.

To date, it has been over two decades since I bred my first litter— a huge litter of eleven beautiful pups. A few years later I stumbled across bull terriers, which were too large and required more space than I had available at the time. From that moment on, I wanted to know everything about the breed. I read historical accounts, talked to breeders, spent hours each day tracking pedigrees, and examined every aspect of the breed. Then one day fortune smiled upon me and I finally acquired my first bull terrier. A miniature. And I never looked back.
