Bandogs

Hello, it's been about 5 years since I have been on this forum.  I love Bandogs and I will be looking to purchase one in the future.  My preference would be a female of about 90 lbs and 25 inches at the shoulder.  Does anyone knows of a reputable breeder in California? Thank you.  

Hi Gary, thank you for the response! 

Yes Lee is my first choice outside of California.  I’ve been following him since he started his program about 16 + years ago. As a matter of fact, I was supposed to get one of his dogs 9 years ago, but it didn’t work out at the last minute.  He is extremely dedicated and I really like his program.  I just wanted someone in California, so that I can visit the kennel, see how puppies develop and bring a trainer to evaluate the puppies prior picking a pup.  

There are no Bandogge breeders in California? 

Thank you for the suggestion regarding forte Molosser kennel. I also had a question if anyone was familiar with Manson Family Protection Bandogs?  I don’t have Facebook, so it is hard for me to contact them, but I like what I’ve seen on their dogs so far.  Temperament and nerves seems to be solid and I especially like the fact that they seem to be the size of dog I like, around 90-100 lbs.  Or am I mistaking about their size?  If anyone one has an email contact address on them it would be great.  Thank you. 

Steelblood Bandog Kennels looks like they have athletic dogs, well trained and nice training facility they are in Europe however. Make sure to do your own first hand research by visiting various breeders; their dogs and kennels. Make sure prior to purchase to have them temperament tested are up to date on shots, are healthy by vet check, make sure parents have zero hip dysplasia verified by x-ray.

Thanks for the info. Steelblood dogs look lean and physically the way I like a Bandog to be.  Just hard to check all important elements when a breeder is so far, could also be a bit pricey.  I’ll have to narrow it down to maybe 2-3 programs here in the US and visit be able to their facilities. 

Several years ago while researching bandogs I came across a kennel in California. The woman that owned the kennel had been breeding Swinford bandogs for 20 or more years as indicated on her website. Her dogs looked true to type. I don't know if she's still breeding I haven't seen her website up in four or five years. She may have retired from breeding.

Thanks for the info.  Yeah, I’ve been around the Bandog Molosser scene for over 15 years and I think I remember you too.  Seems that breeder is no longer active, I couldn’t find her on the web.  Where are you located and what dogs do you have at the moment?
