Breeders & Kennels:
Please note, inclusion in this list is not necessarily a personal recommendation. Some are on here simply because I like the style of dog they are producing, or to provide a little variety to the list. I try not to include any blatant BYBs, and I will not include a breeder who personally offends my sense of how a breeder should operate (after all, this is my website ;)) Remember that BYB status is always subject to conjecture. Breeders of fine gamebred dogs may not health-test and/or do limited titling, whereas breeders who title and health-test might be producing horrendous dogs. Do your homework if you are looking to buy from a breeder. Read the first two links first, as they have valuable information on what to look for in a breeder.
Responsible Breeders vs. Backyard Breeders
APBT Breeders - Reputable vs. BYB (blog)
^Not breeding anymore, but still somewhere to see some very nice dogs.^
^I don't think this site is being updated anymore, since the owner of the kennel passed away. But it still serves as a good example of what a reputable breeder should look like. RIP, Lora. You will be missed!^
