EWK'S 2021 BREEDING PLANS

 Yugo was born here at EWK from our Blitz x Char breeding.  He is Flirt's belly brother and has earned an IPO3 among other working titles including IronDog 3.  He has cross trained in French Ring, but has not competed.  Yugo is 105 at working weight.  Yugo has a golden temperament  and has never met a stranger.  He is as stable as they come.  Yugo was DNA tested as 100% American Bulldog, and free and clear of all testable genetic diseases for American Bulldogs.  Yugo's PennHip is great at .31/.35. 

 Fuse has shown us that she can handle this herself!  Her first litter she delivered 9 puppies in 7 hours with no issues.  She tried to scare us on the second litter by having a 10 hour whelping pause between the first 2 puppies and remaining 11.  Yup!  13 puppies all free-whelped and she handled it all herself.  Never a sign of any agitation or distress.  Calm as a cucumber. This is an uncle/niece breeding.  See the pedigree of these puppies by clicking the button below.

We have one reservation spot left for this litter.  Depending on the number actually whelped, that could change.

 Fuse is a very correct dog, and is only 1 leg away from her ABA Gr. Ch. title. Fuse is as super good girl!  Although we did not take the time to work Fuse to earn any titles (shame on us!), we know she has what it takes.  She is DNA tested at 100% American Bulldog.  And, she has shown us in her offspring that she can  produce working prospects with proper drives, as  well as active, stable family pet dogs.  Fuse is an Ichthyosis carrier.   All puppies will be DNA tested before selection.  See more about Fuse on our "Females" page. 

It is understood in the AB community that Matias, along with his father, Koa, were standouts in the breed, but they also came with the shadow of being carriers for NCL and Ichthyosis.  As they were prolifically bred during the early 2000's, those genetic issues were disseminated in the AB gene pool.  Until the advent of testing for these gene markers was developed and perfected, affected dogs were occasionally produced.  By avoiding breeding carriers to carriers, or avoiding breeding carriers at all, these issues have been avoided.  However, sometimes you have to remember not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.  Matias (and Koa) have so much more to offer genetically.  We were fortunate enough to purchase a few breedings of both of these dogs.  We have a 100% clear female in Wisp, so we know we will not be producing any affected animals.  That being said, the propensity for carrier status for NCL, Ichthyosis, and probably HUU is there.  The litter will be DNA tested for results before puppy selection, BUT  there will be no guarantee of a 100% clear puppy.  Reservations for puppies  will only be given to people who do not intend to breed OR will follow best breeding practices in testing and chosing mates.  There will be no guarantee of a 100% clear puppy.  If you are interested in reserving a puppy from this litter, please call us to discuss details.
