Keystone Blueprint Kennels | XL American Bully Breeder in PA

State your name, your kennel, and where your kennel is located.

My name is Lamarr, owner of Keystone Blueprint Kennels, located outside of Philadelphia.

What type of dogs do you breed, and what inspired you to get involved with that particular breed?

I breed XL American Bullies, English Bulldogs and French bulldogs. I am most passionate about the XL American Bullies. Growing up, I always had Pit Bulls, but I found myself wanting the look of the Pit Bull but thicker and bigger. This led me to the XL American Bully.

What is your favorite bloodline?

I do not have one favorite bloodline. I am a huge fan of west coast bloodlines including: Blueline, XB, RBG, GK, RCP, Hattfield and ULP.

In your opinion, what are the characteristics of a responsible dog breeder?

A responsible dog breeder is someone who shows passion and love for the breed. Their main focus is the health and well being of the dogs.

What type of diet do you keep your dogs on throughout the year?

I feed my dogs a combination of high protein kibble and RAW.

How many times a day do you feed your dogs?

At Keystone Blueprint Kennels, our dogs get fed twice a day. Once in the morning with kibble, and once in the evening with RAW.

How do you keep your dogs in shape throughout the year?

I have a 3 acre property, so the dogs can run and play freely as much as they want.

Walk us through the process of purchasing a pup from Keystone Blueprint Kennels from start to finish.

Purchasing a pup from Keystone Blueprint Kennels is simple.

• Once I confirm the pregnancy I start to advertise the breeding. 
• For anyone that reaches out and shows interest, I advise of the price I'm looking for. 
• I then inform them once the delivery happens and I have a definite count of puppies and know the sexes.
• The people I choose to sell my dogs to are the ones who keep in contact the most and who I build a relationship with. 
• Once the customer confirms the dog they want, I have them sign a contract and make a non-refundable security deposit of $500. 
• Over the next 8-10 weeks, they have the ability to pay off the balance. 
• Once paid in full, the dog can be picked up or transported. All of my dogs come health certified with their first set of shots.
