How important is a reputable breeder when purchasing an XL American Bully puppy?

Question

Accepted Answer

As an American Bully breeder, your reputation starts with healthy, stable dogs and clean, honest practices. Build your program around the breed standard, selecting for correct structure, sound movement, and steady temperament—not just color or size.

Test before you breed. Use DNA panels and appropriate orthopedic/cardiac screenings for your lines. Keep whelping areas sanitary, follow a vet-guided vaccine and deworming plan, and document everything.

Give puppies a strong start with socialization. Use simple routines like gentle handling, new surfaces, household sounds, short car rides, and age-appropriate play. Confident, people-focused pups reflect well on your kennel and the breed.

Be transparent. Provide pedigrees, registration info, and proof of health testing. Use a clear contract with a health guarantee, spay/neuter terms for pet homes, and written rules for breeding rights. Pre-screen buyers and be available for lifetime support. Always take your dog back if a home does not work out.

These standards protect your dogs, your buyers, and the American Bully community. Ethical breeding keeps your program strong and helps prevent mills and careless sellers from shaping the market.
