🧬 1. Temperament is Our Top Priority


At Leland APBTs, temperament is everything. We only breed dogs with rock-solid, people-loving temperaments—dogs that thrive in active family homes and excel in various environments. The American Pit Bull Terrier is an intelligent, energetic, and affectionate breed, and we believe they deserve a chance to show the world how amazing they truly are.


Our dogs are confident, stable, and eager to please. We select breeding stock that shows:

• Social stability

• Trainability

• Confidence under pressure

• Love for human interaction


Each puppy is raised with early socialization, and hands-on care starting from day one. This foundation helps produce puppies that transition smoothly into their new homes, making them ideal family companions or active lifestyle partners.



🏆 2. Proven Performance in UKC Sporting Events


We don’t just claim quality—we prove it. Leland APBTs competes heavily in UKC (United Kennel Club) sporting events, including:

• Conformation Shows

• Weight Pull

• Lure Coursing



Our dogs consistently earn titles and achievements in these competitive arenas, demonstrating not only their structure and athleticism but also their sound minds and versatility. We breed true working American Pit Bull Terriers—not just dogs that look the part, but dogs that can do the job.


These accomplishments are not just for show—they’re a testament to the breed integrity and functionality of our program. They also give potential puppy owners confidence that our dogs are well-rounded, mentally stable, and physically capable.



🐾 3. Over 20 Years of Professional Dog Experience


Breeding high-quality dogs goes far beyond genetics. It requires hands-on experience, deep behavioral understanding, and top-tier animal husbandry skills.


Leland APBTs is backed by over 20 years of experience in the pet services industry, including:

• Managing boarding kennels

• Running dog daycares

• Operating our own structured breeding and puppy-raising program


This experience has given us an extensive understanding of:

• Canine body language

• Pack management

• Preventing behavioral issues in puppies

• Cleanliness, safety, and wellness in kennel environments


This isn’t just our hobby—it’s our lifestyle. Every puppy we produce benefits from our professional experience, ensuring that they are raised in a clean, enriched, well-managed environment from birth to go-home day.



🧪 4. Health and Genetics You Can Trust


We breed for genetic soundness, which means we place a strong emphasis on:

• Proper structure

• Longevity

• Reducing inherited issues


Each pairing is thoughtfully planned with the goal of producing healthy, long-living Pit Bulls with predictable temperaments. We never cut corners when it comes to health.


Our commitment to health means your puppy will have the best possible chance at a long, happy, and active life.



🏡 5. We Raise Family-Ready Puppies


Whether you’re a first-time dog owner or a seasoned handler, we’re committed to matching each puppy with the right home. Our puppy-raising protocols include:

• Early socialization with adults, kids, and other dogs

• Noise desensitization

• Puppy culture-inspired enrichment

• Crate and litter training foundations

• Temperament evaluations before go-home


By the time your puppy is ready to leave us, they’ve already been exposed to the world in a safe and positive way, making the transition into your home smoother and less stressful.


We offer lifetime breeder support and stand behind every puppy we produce. You become part of the Leland APBTs family, and we are always here to answer questions, offer advice, or provide guidance as your dog grows.
