    STOP Chasing Trends! Why Structure Matters More Than Color | Season 7 - Ep - 7

    Are you ready to get real about the Bully game? Welcome back to another explosive episode of the Bully Girl Magazine Podcast! Today, your host Kim is sitting down with family. We are welcoming back the incredible Pushin P Bullyz to the show. It has been over two years since we last saw P in Season 3, and a lot has changed. She has gone from being a respected breeder to winning the prestigious 2024 Female Breeder of the Year award. The Reality Behind the KennelSocial media often shows a highlight reel—ribbons, trophies, and polished photos. You rarely see the tears, exhaustion, and heartbreak. P gets incredibly vulnerable in this conversation. She opens up about the dark side of running a kennel, including the emotional toll of losing a dog and the burnout that comes with trying to do it all. As a mom of five, balancing family life with a full-time breeding program is no joke. P shares how she manages to keep going and why the bully community keeps her motivated. Meet the King: Trench DevilEvery great kennel needs a headliner, and for Pushin P Bullyz, that dog is Trench Devil. P breaks down exactly what makes him such a special stud. It’s not just about looking cool; it’s about structure versus functionality. She wants a dog with that "wow" factor—head, bone, muscle—that can still run and play with her kids. She also explains why she doesn't chase every new trend (like Merles or nanos) and prefers to perfect her own bloodline. Whelping 101: Saving Puppies' LivesIf you are a new breeder, you need to listen to this section. P takes us inside her whelping room and shares her secrets for puppy survival. The first two weeks are dangerous. P describes her grueling schedule, sleeping in the whelping room and waking up every two hours. She also drops a major tip about her "must-have" tool: a professional nose aspirator machine. Forget the little hand pumps; this tool saves lives. Marketing & The 2026 EconomyThe economy has changed, and so has the dog market. P keeps it 100% real about adapting her prices and business model in 2026. She also shares a crazy story about losing her Instagram account—going from 14,000 followers to zero overnight—and her strategy for rebuilding from scratch. Her advice? Stop editing your photos! In an era of AI, P explains why showing raw, unedited video builds the most trust. Topics Covered: Balancing 5 kids and a top-tier kennel. Structure vs. Functionality in Exotic Bullies. Whelping essentials: Incubators & suction machines. Rebuilding your brand after losing your social media. The truth about dog pricing in the 2026 economy. Why "Trench Devil" is the future of her yard. Don't forget to rate and review the podcast if you enjoyed this episode!

    10 Years in the Game: How to Build a Bully LEGACY

    Building a Dynasty: The Zelda Line & Pocket Bully Mastery with Palacio Bully Camp Welcome back to another powerful episode of the Bully Girl Magazine Podcast! If you are part of the bully community, you know that longevity is rare. People jump in, chase a trend for six months, and disappear when the market changes. But today, we are sitting down with a breeder who has stood the test of time. We are welcoming back the man, the myth, the legend—Adrian Palacio from Palacio Bully Camp. Adrian isn’t just breeding dogs; he is building a dynasty. Based in South Florida, Palacio Bully Camp has become synonymous with quality, structure, and consistency. In this episode, Adrian takes us behind the scenes to reveal how he created the famous Zelda Line. We aren't talking about one or two nice dogs; we are talking about five and six generations of consistent, head-turning Pocket Bullies. The Pocket Bully BlueprintWhat makes the perfect Pocket Bully? For Adrian, it’s all about balance. He breaks down why the 50 to 70-pound range is the "sweet spot" for the breed. These dogs are compact enough to travel with and manage easily, but they still pack that "wow" factor. He explains how he used legendary bloodlines like Magoo, Rocco, and Chumper to set his foundation. Once he locked in the traits he wanted—clean shoulders, tight rears, and pretty headpieces—he closed his yard to focus on his own production. This is a masterclass on how to create a signature look that becomes your brand. Male vs. Female: Where to Start?One of the most common questions we get is: "I'm on a budget. Should I start with a male or a female?" Adrian gives one of the best answers we have ever heard. If you start with a male, you have the potential for stud fees, but you have to work harder to market him. If you start with a female, the path is a little clearer. But his biggest piece of advice? Pick the dog you like. Don’t chase money; chase your passion. Health, Diet, & The EconomyAdrian keeps it real about dog health and nutrition. He admits that he went through the phase of buying the most expensive food and trying complicated raw diets. His conclusion? Keep it simple. High-quality kibble and plenty of water are often all you need. He also touches on a controversial topic: DNA testing. He shares advice from his vet about why blood testing sent to a university lab is superior to simple at-home "mouse swab" kits. Finally, we discuss the current market. With the economy being tight and the market saturated, Adrian explains why transparency is everything. He FaceTimes with every potential buyer to stop scammers and build trust. We also get an introduction to the new heavy hitter in his yard: Apex, a son of the famous Oceans Blue. This episode is packed with gems for everyone—from the first-time pet owner to the veteran breeder.

    From Top Breeder to Off-Grid Survivalist: Angela Clark’s Story

    Surviving -40° & Saving Dogs from Airport Limbo (ft. Angela Clark) Plug in your headphones and turn the volume up, Bully Fam! We are back with another heater of an episode. Today, we catch up with a true legend in the game: Angela Clark of Confidential Kennels. If you think you know her story, think again. This isn't just about breeding world-class Cane Corso (though we definitely talk about that). This is a survival story about taking massive risks and changing the entire landscape of dog transportation. Angela takes us on a wild ride from the sunny hills of Southern California to the frozen, off-grid wilderness of Montana, and finally to the high-stakes world of international logistics in Georgia. 🏔️ Living on the Edge: The Montana Experiment Imagine packing up your entire life and kennel to move to 200 acres in the middle of nowhere. No city water. No power lines. Just you, your dogs, and the elements. That is exactly what Angela did. She opens up about the reality of off-grid living with a pack of powerful guardians. She talks about surviving brutal Montana winters with temps dropping to 40 degrees below zero. She shares the heartbreak of financial hits—like spending $50,000 drilling for water and coming up dry. It’s a raw, honest look at the "dream life" that Instagram doesn't show you. ✈️ The Crisis in Dog ShippingBreeders, listen closely. Angela drops a bomb about the current state of shipping dogs. The game has changed. We have all heard the horror stories: puppies stuck in customs, dogs rejected at the border due to paperwork errors, breeders losing thousands because they didn't know the new CDC import rules. Angela is here to fix that. She breaks down her new ventures, ATL Pet Stop and Feathers and Fur Express. These are lifelines. She explains how they are building a quarantine facility to handle imports from high-risk countries and ensure your dog doesn't get sent back or euthanized. You will learn: Why you should NEVER give your own vaccines if you plan to export. The critical timing of the microchip scan (get this wrong, and the rabies shot doesn't count!). How to manage client expectations when flights get canceled. 🇺🇸 A Mission for Veterans & The FutureThis episode has a huge heart. Angela shares her vision for a veteran sanctuary on her ranch. Her goal? To create a space where combat vets can heal using the natural therapy of the wilderness and the bond with working dogs. Plus, for the Corso fans, she gives an update on her yard. She has slimmed down to an elite group of 18 dogs, focusing strictly on quality over quantity. 🔊 Why Stream This Now?This is a masterclass in resilience. Angela Clark is the definition of a "boss lady." She sees a problem—like the shipping crisis—and builds a business to fix it. She feels a calling to help veterans and buys a mountain to make it happen. If you need motivation to keep grinding, this is it. 📲 Connect with the GuestDon't let your dog get stuck at the airport.

    Northern Lakota Bullies: The Struggle Behind the Success

    Welcome back to another fire episode of the Bully Girl Magazine Podcast! I’m your host, Kim, and today we have a very special reunion. We are welcoming back family! That’s right, James from Northern Lakota Bullies is back in the building. If you’ve been rocking with us for a while, you might remember James from his first interview back in December 2023. A lot can happen in two years, especially in the fast-paced world of American Bullies and French Bulldogs. James joins us all the way from the Cheyenne River Reservation in Eagle Butte, South Dakota, to catch us up on his journey, his program, and the real life of a dog breeder in the Northern Plains. This isn’t just a conversation about dogs; it’s a conversation about life, struggle, family, and the resilience it takes to build something great from the ground up. What We Cover in This Episode: Representing the Reservation: James opens up about what it means to be a breeder on the Cheyenne River Reservation. He paints a vivid picture of his home—a place where jobs are scarce and poverty is a real battle. James shares his incredible origin story: how a lucky jackpot at a local casino gave him the seed money to invest in his first dogs. For James, dog breeding isn’t just a hobby; it’s a pathway to independence and a way to provide for his family. American Bullies vs. French Bulldogs: Thinking about switching breeds or adding a Frenchie to your yard? You need to hear this. James runs a mixed kennel with Pocket Bullies, Exotics, and French Bulldogs. He keeps it real: Frenchies are high maintenance! They are like having extra toddlers in the house. He breaks down the strict hygiene and daily attention they need compared to the hardier Bullies. Feeding for Muscle and Health: One of the coolest parts of this episode is hearing about the "Northern Lakota Diet." Because James lives in a rural area during hunting season, his dogs eat like kings. We talk about raw feeding with fresh deer meat and fish caught right there in the Dakotas. James explains how he mixes this natural diet with trusted supplements like Bully Max to keep his dogs in peak condition. The Heartbreak of Kennel Life: It hasn’t all been wins. James gets vulnerable about the recent loss of his beloved Frenchie, Makia. Losing a dog is the dark side of the game that Instagram doesn’t show you. He shares how that loss affected him and how he made smart breeding moves to ensure Makia’s bloodline lives on. Overcoming Location Challenges: Living in the middle of South Dakota has its perks, but it also has huge challenges. James reveals that his nearest veterinarian is a three-and-a-half-hour drive away! This reality has forced him to become extremely knowledgeable about dog whelping, C-sections, and general medical care. Advice for the New Generation: We ask James the big question: What do new breeders need to stop doing? His answer is simple: Drop the bad habits. Laziness has no place in the bully breed world. He stresses the importance of consistency—cleaning kennels and sticking to a routine even when you’re tired. Meet the Dogs:In this episode, you’ll get introduced to the stars of Northern Lakota Bullies, including Peta (the Exotic Micro stud and Baymax son), Honey (Venom bloodline), and Shakoi, the beautiful new puppy James shows off during the interview.

    No More Broken Dogs! Why Functionality Matters Most

    Welcome to the Bully Girl Magazine Podcast! The energy is through the roof today because we have a fan favorite returning to the building. We are chopping it up with Jessica Bailey, also known as Indiana Jess, from Evolutionary Exotics. Jessica is back to give us a major update on her program.

She is also producing serious heat with Pocket Bullies and Micro Bullies. Key Topics in This Episode: DNA Testing is Non-Negotiable: Jessica explains why she uses OriVet to test for health and color traits. She shares a crazy story about a breeder at a show who didn't know what "Pink" gene his dog carried, risking blind or deaf puppies. Jessica breaks down why knowing the science behind the dog is the only way to breed responsibly. Health Over Hype: Jessica stands on business about Dog Health. She believes a dog needs to be functional—able to run, play, and be a family pet. She discusses the DM gene (Degenerative Myelopathy) and why she is so careful about it. Meet the New Stars: Jessica introduces us to "King Kong," a Fluffy Frenchie with a big rope structure, and "Street," a Merle Bully stud that she considers the full package. Collaborations & 2026 Plans: We discuss her work with NBA Kennels, Universal Kennels, and Bougie Bulldogs, and the rare bloodlines she is bringing to the game in 2026.

    Zeus Is Taking Over! The Future of Xena’s Legacy Starts NOW!

    In this episode of the Bully Girl Magazine Podcast, we welcome back Mandy from Xena’s Legacy Bullies for a powerful and emotional conversation that every American Bully lover needs to hear. Mandy opens up about the hardest experience she has faced as a breeder: Katana’s unexpected pregnancy, an emergency C-section, and the heartbreaking loss of multiple puppies. All of this happened while she was juggling work, school, and major family struggles, making the journey even more intense. Mandy also shares the story behind her kennel’s name. Xena, her foundation female, played a huge role in shaping her program and her passion. Mandy explains how her late partner helped name the dogs, build the vision behind Xena’s Legacy Bullies, and why continuing the program keeps both Xena’s and his legacy alive. We dive into what responsible breeding really looks like. Mandy talks about the traits she looks for—tight feet, clean structure, strong rears, and balanced movement. She explains why she refuses to breed dogs with breathing problems, heart issues, or serious genetic faults. For her, the health and future of the American Bully breed always come first. Mandy also discusses a choice many breeders avoid: retiring dogs. After Katana’s emergency C-section, Mandy decided to spay her. Tank was later neutered as well, leaving Zeus as her only intact stud. She explains why Zeus represents the future of her program and why she’s extremely selective about who gets to use him. We also cover nutrition, conditioning, and daily care. Mandy uses high-quality kibble as a base and mixes in fresh or human-grade foods. She adds fruits and veggies and even meal preps for her dogs. For exercise, she keeps it simple—walks, park days, and letting the dogs run around an empty basketball court. No big yard needed, just consistency and love. Training is another key topic. Mandy encourages owners to be patient, use repetition, and understand that you must train yourself before you can train your dog. She keeps it real about the struggles and the rewards that come with raising these incredible animals. We also talk about bully shows, fun shows, and the importance of getting dogs out into the community. Mandy explains how showing Zeus helped him gain confidence and how the show world helped her reconnect with the bully community. She shares why branding matters, how kennels can stand out, and why social presence and good logos help build long-term recognition. This episode is full of insight, honesty, and heart. Mandy’s story shows what it truly means to love the breed, honor your dogs, and stay committed through the highs and lows. Whether you're a breeder, new dog owner, or someone who simply loves American Bullies, you'll walk away inspired. 💬 GUEST CONTACT: Instagram: @Xenas_Legacy_Bullies 📸 FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: @BullyGirlMag 🛒 FOR BULLY BREED GEAR, TIPS & COMMUNITY UPDATES: Visit www.bgmwarehouse.com for apparel, articles, and exclusive bully breed insights. 📩 WANT TO BE A GUEST ON THE PODCAST?

    Pocket & Micro Monsters! Tillman Williams Kennels Shows Their Newest Productions!

    If you love American Bullies with clean structure, big heads, and calm, friendly temperaments, this episode of the Bully Girl Magazine Podcast is definitely for you. Kim sits down with Holly and Antwain of Tillman Williams Kennels, a well-known program producing pocket and micro bullies with consistency, movement, and strong family temperaments. They’ve been on the show before, and this time they return with new updates, new dogs, and a whole lot of knowledge for the bully community. Holly and Antwain share how they’ve remodeled their setup, added new females, and produced several litters—making this one of their busiest seasons yet. You’ll even meet two of their newest productions, Kanoli and Theodore, showing off the type of quality Tillman Williams Kennels is known for. If you’re looking for a program with generations behind their dogs, they explain exactly how they maintain consistency and improvement year after year. They talk about why they prefer pocket and micro bullies over larger sizes, and what traits matter most in their breeding program: clean headshape, strong bone, straight fronts, level toplines, solid rears, and steady temperament. They also discuss the benefits of having multiple generations in their yard and how that helps them create predictable, reliable results in every litter. Listeners get an inside look at how they raise their puppies. From early handling and daily interaction to using puppy contracts that ensure every dog has lifelong security, Tillman Williams Kennels takes responsible breeding seriously. Their puppies spend time in play areas, socialize with family members, and get used to being handled from day one. Health and care are major priorities for them. They talk about genetic testing, physical health checks, joint support for older dogs, and the feeding routine that keeps their bullies in great shape. They also share their belief that consistency in exercise, care, and structure matters more than fancy products or trends. Holly and Antwain also clear up misconceptions about the American Bully breed. Even though these dogs look strong and muscular, they’re naturally sweet, loyal, and people-friendly. They encourage owners to show their dogs in public to help more people understand the true nature of the breed. Branding plays a big role in their success. With Holly’s background in photography and design, Tillman Williams Kennels has built a polished, consistent look across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and their website. Strong visuals and clear branding help them connect with customers, build trust, and show the quality of their dogs. They also share their goals for the future—expanding their facility, placing dogs internationally, staying active at shows, and continuing to push the bully community in a positive direction. They believe the future of the breed will be shaped by breeders who care about quality, health, and responsibility.
