LAST UPDATE JUNE 2003 ---->  NEW UPDATE MARCH 23, 2008

 
This was Tanya's "Introduction" Part of her HOME Page before her passing...  Out of respect for her and what she wrote I have transferred word for word here, not changing one single thing.


Welcome to our website, where you have to have heart and nerves of steel to have the word cold in your kennel name. We are hobby breeders and strive to preserve the American Pit Bull Terrier. We enjoy competing with our dogs in different activities and are looking to keep them small as in the days of old. We understand that there are more people breeding Pit Bulls now than there ever was and adding their own little spin to the breed in regard to size and color. We believe that there is something for everyone and that there is room on  this Earth for everyone. If  you see something you don't like, then you are free to move on. We like what we have and that is why we USE it, FEED it and BREED it. There are plenty of haters out there and we are certainly no strangers to them. Our motto is "Don't start nothin' and there won't be nothin'." This is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and everyone has a right to their opinions and pursuit of happiness. However, we will not stand idly by while others take it upon themselves to prove they know more about someone's dogs than the person breeding them. Our main foundation may not be as well known as others, but it is what has worked well for "us", our "Boogieman line."  We take pride in raising healthy, content animals in clean sanitary environments. We are here to stay. Enjoy your visit...
 



This was Tanya's "About US" Page below. It was last updated in June 2003... some things have changed, but since these are her own words I will leave them un-retouched.

"About Us Page"

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to provide a positive image of the American Pitbull Terrier (APBT). We do so by producing quality true-bred American Pit Bull Terriers, promoting responsible ownership, supporting the American Dog Breeders Association and Endangered Breed Association, educating the public and practicing appropriate code of conduct.

The traditional, true American Pit Bull Terrier must have intelligence, stable temperment, show quality physical conformation and a willingness to give all, to those who give to them. We have focused on developing a strain of APBT's that excel in a number of canine competitions which include conformation, weight pull, catch work IN THE WILD, obedience, and Schutzhund. Many have made excellent companions and inside housedogs.

Our Foundation

Our foundation line began with Caldwell’s Grand Champion Boogieman, who is a mixture of Sparks’, Sarona, and Wise’s breeding. We also have quality-bred dogs with a touch of Neblett, Lonzo, McCaw's "CH" Going Light Barney," Garner's "CH" Chinaman," and Crenshaw's "CH" Jeep." Boogieman has produced a quality of dogs that can be described as bold, intelligent, alert, protective, and loyal. Physical characteristics would typically include a sturdily built frame, deep chest with broad shoulders, balanced heads, hard mouth, and forward attitude. Males can range from 45-58 pounds conditioned. Females from 35-55 pounds conditioned. Colors include chocolate, buckskin, red, and brindle (chocolate and red) red nose.

Our Policy

Our policy is to promote responsible ownership of our APBTs. The APBT is not for everyone and in the hands of irresponsible ownership can be and has been detrimental to our breed. We continue to screen prospective buyers and outline our expectations of them in a written contract. We want the public to realize that the APBT is not the monstrous demon that the news media has sensationalized them to be. We can do so by public education and positive representation of the breed through responsible owners.

We fully support the American Dog Breeders Association (A.D.B.A.) by subscribing to the American Pit Bull Terrier Gazette and attending as many ADBA shows as possible each year. ADBA sponsored events provide a way to present the APBT in a positive light to the public. In addition, it is an excellent way to make contacts and meet other APBT fanciers. Many of our APBTs have been successful in the show circuit. We are also looking into the possibility of starting a club in the North Central, Florida area.

Guarantees

We guarantee that all our pups are healthy,  free of internal and external parasites and are pet quality. We DO NOT guarantee that you will be able to show your dog. All our dogs/pups are registered with the American Dog Breeders Association (A.D.B.A.).  Our puppies are fed Eukanuba or Iams puppy food. Vaccines are kept up to date until the time of sale. All pups/dogs are issued a health certificate from a State licensed Veterinarian prior to sale. (We DO NOT breed for form, so we do not certify hips or elbows. These are still a terrier type breed and do not typically encounter the problems associated with larger breed dogs). A $100-$200 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit will hold a dog of either sex. (A deposit is your promise to purchase the pup or dog that you have selected and our compensation for making the pup “not available” if you do not follow through).  WE ONLY SHIP WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. Prices vary depending on the size of the dog.
 
 
 

This was a logo/Flyer Tanya had me create for her back in 2003... she was so happy with it. Going through all my computer files with her stuff on it...I found it and thought I'd add it here...  Who knew she'd be gone less than 5 years later...
