Why is it important for Bully breeders to display their retired dogs on their websites?

Question

Accepted Answer

Displaying retired dogs is an important part of being a responsible Bully breeder. It shows transparency, experience, and a long-term commitment to the breed. When a Bully kennel showcases its retired dogs, it allows future buyers and breeders to see the foundation of the program. These dogs represent years of work, careful planning, and dedication to the health and structure of American Bullies, XXL Bullies, and XXL Pitbulls.

Retired Bullies and Pitbulls give insight into a kennel’s history and values. By showing the dogs who helped build the program, breeders prove they aren’t just producing litters - they’re developing strong, consistent bloodlines. This is especially important in the ABKC and UKC communities, where pedigree and structure matter just as much as appearance.

Potential buyers often want to know what to expect when purchasing a puppy. Looking at retired dogs gives them a clear idea of how past generations have matured. It also reflects the quality of the breeding stock and how long a kennel has been active in the XL Bully or UKC Pit Bull world. 

A kennel that proudly displays its retired dogs also demonstrates that it treats dogs as more than just breeding animals. It shows that once a dog has finished its role in a program, it’s still valued and remembered. These dogs are often living out their lives in comfort, either at home or with trusted families.

In short, showing retired dogs isn’t just a sign of pride—it’s a mark of a breeder who cares about legacy, ethics, and the long-term health of the breed. And how cool is it to see the ancestors of your puppy?!
