Let us introduce ourselves ..we are Randee Bybee and Alison Bybee of Bybee's American Bulldogs
We are a small kennel located in Southern California about an hour from LA.
I really don't like to call us a kennel we are more of an example of bulldog enthusiasts who happen to maybe have a few more pet dogs then the average person lol!
We have an amazing ranch that we live on and no expense is spared on our dogs.
We got our first American Bulldog at the beginning of 1990 and that's been the only breed of dog for us since then...33 years in the breed..wow time really does fly!
It always surprises me how few of us "old school bulldoggers" are actually still here.
Since we have become very involved in the breed we both go overseas and judge shows and we have put on show's and contributed bulldog articles to Dog Fancy among other things.
Our first dogs were Suregrip lines Rip N. Woody, Freddie Kreugger, etc., these are the kind of dogs we love and what we have based our breeding program on. We favor mainly larger hybrids/bully dogs with good bone, impressive heads and a balanced temperament.We like dogs how they used to be when we first started
You will never see us breeding to flavour of the week or whatever hyped up dog"the newbies" think will sell..just not the way we do things here. We will also never be producing black or blue bulldogs.
We take a lot of pride in producing our own dogs that we show and later may put in our program..anyone can buy a dog..producing one for us is where the enjoyment is, seeing the generations of your work progress and getting better.
We do enjoy showing our dogs and have produced many ABA Champions and ABA Grand Champions,Ibc Champions, USBR Champions,ABRA Champions and Grand Champions, bully type, standard and some that are hybrid types...
We are not like most folks in that we have several different styles of American bulldogs..due to my husband and myself having different tastes in dogs... I actually don't think there is anyone in the world that has had a much sucess as us with both types.
We try and meet somewhere in the middle with our hybrid American bulldogs that we both like...but we have some large American Bulldogs and some Giant American Bulldogs that we enjoy having around.
We only produce a litter for the purpose of improving on what we have and always keep a puppy or two, we always reserve the top picks for our selves from each breeding. Some years we produce no pups and others we may have a few litters, we are not a large kennel and don't keep many dogs ourselves as we like them all to have plenty of time with us in and out of the house. Many of our dogs, especially our studs are raised and live with our friends and we co own or keep breeding rights on them. This has proved to work out really well for both us the dog's and there new family.
All of our pups are born and raised in our home and all of our dogs are family members that will live out their lives with us,they are not retired to live with strangers or sold on to someone who wants to have a few litters out of them but remain with us for as long as they are around...this can make it hard on us as it can cause our program to not develop as fast as maybe it could as we just don't have the room for a lot of new dogs but that's fine by us.
I can honestly say I have never sold an adult American Bulldog on to another "breeder" ..I really don't agree with passing dog's around especially American Bulldogs as they bond so deeply with their families..
We have had many American Bulldogs through out the years, some that we no longer have are on our site to show you where we started and what direction we're heading in, you will find all our old family members on our foundation page. Special thanks to Kyle Symmes of Suregrip kennels for all his help through out the years and for all our foundation stock.
Please remember that although the American Bulldog is an incredible breed with a lot to offer it is often to much dog for alot of people, they are a dominant guardian breed, can be stubborn and do best with someone who has experience with such types of dogs.They also don't get along with dominant dog's of the same sex..not all of them sometimes there are exceptions but rarely.
Please do your research on the breed before purchasing an American Bulldog and also on the breeder you choose.
We hope you enjoy or site and thankyou for dropping in :)
