Bandalara XL American Bullies of Virginia

Welcome to Bandalara Bullies LLC, home of our American Bullies. We would like to thank you for your visit.  Whether you looking for the perfect stud for your female or considering a new addition to your home or program.  Maybe you are here just here out of curiosity. We are dedicated to giving you the very best K9 companion, with a focus on temperament, health, structure and stamina.  This is our vision of what a XL American Bully should look like.  Although no dog is perfect, we strive to provide our customers with a new companion that will be with your family for the next 10 plus years to come.

I have been around canines for over 30+ years. My father used to train and breed Doberman Pinchers, by latching on them I was able to balance myself and learn how to walk as a baby. Being around my father as he trained dogs instilled the passion that I have for canines at a young age. Throughout the years we have also had Rottweilers and Huskies.  I got my first dog a German Shephard in 1989 as a gift from my father.  I started off mainly breeding dogs for myself.  I choose what I thought was the pick of the litter and sold the rest to family and friends as a hobby.

When the Pit Bull Terrier migrated to my state of Virginia in the late 80’s, I had to get one.  I bought my first mixed Pit Bull Terrier in 1990.  Later in the years I was able to buy pure Pit Bulls from local kennels in my area.  I knew then this breed was my favorite of all canines that I had.  I loved the athleticism, size and look that the Pit Bull showed. The APBT is a small to medium size dog with a lot of drive.  Good to people but can be aggressive to other animals. I could bring my Pits around my family and friends. But I had to watch them carefully around other animals.  Pit Bulls developed a bad name due to bad breeders and owners not fully understanding the breed and what it was originally developed for.  Breeders began to mix different breeds to gain size and to bring down the drive.  By doing this, the American Bully was born.  This relative new breed is more of a family friendly canine which gets along better with other dogs and animals. This breed is bigger in size and can easily be trained for protection and service. The American Bully Kennel Club (ABKC) was the first to recognize The American Bully Breed in 2004.  The European Bully Kennel Club (EBKC) later followed suite in 2008. The United Kennel Club Became the third registry to recognize the breed in July of 2013. AKC (American Kennel Club) has not recognized the breed as of yet. I do believe once the breed is stabilized they will follow suite.  As of now there are four categories, Pocket, Standard, Classic and XL.  XL American Bully is the category that I chose to specialize in mainly because I have been around big dogs all my life.

I love the direction that the American Bully is going. I have always been a person that wasn’t afraid of blazing my own path.  I bought my foundation dogs from what I thought are top quality kennels here in the United States.  By selective breeding, my vision is coming into reality.  I Breed pet and show quality American Bullies.  If the show ring is not your thing then our dogs will bring much joy to your family as a pet.  All of our dogs, puppies will be dual registered with the ABKC and UKC.  Health screened with embark testing is a main focus here at Bandalara and making sure that our dogs go to a loving home. Our customers will be satisfied with their new addition!!

We will never claim that we have the biggest or baddest.  We will never claim that we have the best show dogs in the ring. We stay in our own lane.  But we will say that we produce good quality American Bullies with temperament a top priority.  It will come a time when your dog retires from competition. Retires from breeding and soon will be looking for a pet home.  Our dogs will have a good and productive long life before, during and after.  We breed companions over here!!

My father urged me to turn my passion into a business.  He also gave me the name to that business.  I officially started Bandalara Bullies in July 2020. The LLC was officially formed in August of 2021.  Feel free to look us up on social media accounts such as bandalarabullies.com, Facebook and Instagram.

Training, breeding and caring for dogs is something that I love to do and it shows in the productions that we produce.  Here at Bandalara we are dog lover’s first, breeders’ second and a huge fan of this breed.   We have come a long way. Join us on our journey.  We now serve customers all over place and are thrilled that we’re able to turn our passion into your companion.
