WHERE ARE YOU FROM ORIGINALLY WHERE DO YOU LIVE NOW?
Originally I was on the east coast, upstate Pennsylvania to be exact. That's where I built my name put in the work and paid my dues, but I have always shown the Midwest love and attended Midwest shows because I was born in the Midwest. I live in Kansas now, which is where my family is from. Matter of fact I was born in Oklahoma and have a deep Native American vein in my gene pool so coming back to Kansas was just life coming full circle, as they say.
WHEN WAS DOUBLE L KENNELS ESTABLISHED HOW DID YOU DECIDE ON THE NAME DOUBLE L?
I would say Double L Kennels was established in 2005, but I had American Pit Bull Terriers and no website or anything like that, Facebook wasn't around back then. I would say I was officially established as an American Bully owner/breeder in 2007, almost a decade with this breed and close to that on the show scene. The name came from my last name and my partner at the time last name, they both start with L so Double L Kennels was just natural. As we all know as people and with relationships they grow and change and sometimes fade away, the partnership is no longer but I will always be DOUBLE L.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO GET INVOLVED IN THE BREED?
I grew up with multiple Bull Breeds in my household, with dogs duties from the age that I could carry a shovel, from Neapolitan Mastiff to American Pit Bull Terrier I was raised with Bull Breeds. The desire to own and breed APBT's was always there and I owned my first one on my own at the age of 21, which at that time I thought I would always be dug in deep with that breed. I would say the Internet had a lot to do with my interest being peaked by American Bullys, the first time I say a Bully it was online, a video posted of Juan Gotty at only a year old.
As soon as I watched the video I couldn't get him out of my mind, I woke up thinking about what it was that made that dog and how I could get one. The deeper I researched the more the fire grew until I found a female for sale and couldn't help but make the call and drive 11 hours one way to buy her. Once I found the breeder I bought my foundation male OVI’s RAIN of DOUBLE L Kennels, I was devoted to the American Bully and passionate about creating the best version of the breed that I could.

Dog’s wild relatives spend most of their waking hours scavenging and hunting for food, caring for offspring, defending territory and playing with each other. They lead busy, complex lives, interacting socially and solving simple problems necessary for their survival.
