Q: this is a comment just like to say you have the most impressive dogs i have ever seen and they all look so happy amd healthy a job well done to you and your team all the best for your chinaman bloodline -philip A: Thank you for your kind words. Believe me, the dogs are even more impressive in the real life. You are welcome any time to visit us. Q: What would be the best bloodline to have right now for matching -anonymous A: I think, thats the leprechaun... no, its the santa claus? How stupid are you? I assume you are just young and spend too much time in the internet. Start here -> look at the links and there the FAQ Q: i have apbt boomerang nloodline,whats your opinion about bloodlime, i just wanna know -anonymous A: Sorry, I do not know much about other bloodlines than Chinaman. Take care! Q: we are looking for a breeder (or someone who knows about english bulldog breed), to temporary look after our bully. We are going on a contract for 4 months to KSA and can't take him with us. We are willing to pay and provide food for the period when we are away. We looked into small kennels but our heart would break to leave our bully there for even a short time. Have you heard of anyone who could help? -anonymous A: I am sorry, we do not know much about other dog breeds than the apbt. A good idea would be to contact the local kennel club. Good luck! Q: If I sign up for VIP. Can other people see my name and contact information? Or am I anonymous to others as I want it to be? -anonymous A: The code is personal and is only for getting access to all the pages. The code expires after a while. Total anonymous. Q: do you ship to the US? -pitbullkid123 A: Yes. Not very often but some times. Easiest is to the East Coast. We also have access to a very reliable and good courier working in US. Q: how many dogs do you have? and how much do the pups and adults cost. -alex A: Quite many. Prices varies, take a look at our website. Q: i have vip pasword but can't access yard tips -Swampman A: It might be an old one. Apply for a new one. Q: first legal step to opening a kennel -Swampman A: This is easy, get space. Not impossible for anyone to buy a piece of land and start your own yard. Then, get dogs, do breedings and important - keep the off spring! You need volume. After a couple of years, select the best one, do line breeding and keep on doing the breeding stuff. This is the only way. Good luck! Q: i'm interested in purchasing a pup from you a tight bred lee ling pup. If any is available or any up coming breedings please let me know. -Dolla904 A: Next pups not planned. Not before the end of this year, anyway. Q: do you guys asscociate with the ***. And is the *** still around in your area. -alex A: No, we are not. No, they have never been around here. Here we have a bit other figures, big (humangous?) kennels and yards, and more country stuff. Q: how much for one -alex A: You mean pup? Sorry, no pups right now. Later maybe. Q: what types of dogs do u have -alex A: Bulldogs, pitbulls. Q: what is the best dog you have -alex A: All our dogs are pretty darn good. In every dog there is so many angles and viewpoints. Our prime idea is that a super bulldog is nothing without the surrounding infrastructure. That is why we have many, many dozens of bulldogs. Cattle, stock and a ranch. This why our best dogs are 2nd to none. There just is no chance that a mutt from a block of flat can beat a real bulldog. Real. Q: what state or country do you guys live in and city? -alex A: We are located in EUROPE, Scandinavia. Q: Do you guys watch movies in theater or on internet? -Ronicd A: No really. Sorry :-( Q: can you get dogs to *** -anonymous A: Yes we can. You get more info from your local custom service, too. Q: What ever happened to XXX? -anonymous A: This dog was smuggled to some country and treated really bad :-( Not a day goes by without the memory of this poor dog. Rest in peace.

Q: hi i emailed you in private and havent heard anything back everything ok? i would like to send you some pictures if i could somehow see what you think about something -dan A: Yes, we are just fine and well. Very busy as always and do not have time for email. Put the photos in tinypic.com and send the url. I think that is the best and easiest way. Q: I understand that you have good quality dog seemen for sale - how much is it? -anonymous A: The total semen cost is consisted of these: The semen + collecting + packing + shipping = what you pay us. At your end it is up to you, vet costs and something. The semen from a top performance dog is around 1,000. Note, the costs depends on if its about frozen or chilled semen. More details by personal contact. Q: hi and by chocolate i think you may describe the colour as dark red.. like a light brown copper colour -dan A: Sorry, I think we do not have much dogs of that color... I have to take a closer look. Q: how can i get access to vip? -dan A: That is easy, just apply for it.

A bloodly joke that they can break the law bringing a pitbull into the *. Keep up the good work -anonymous A: No charges, dogs, yard and everthing are good as always. Darn busy every day, more dogs and tons of work. Those pranksters are supposed to be arrested by police on sight here in our country and as soon as the procedure takes full act later in other EU countries, too. That leads in worst case max 2 yrs. behind bars. But to be honest, not very interesting ... Thanks, always :-) Q: Do you export to South Africa -HMK A: Yes. Not lately but yes. Q: My V.I.P. is not working can you send another ? You have great information -anonymous A: Of course, if I just would knew who you are... Q: Hi again. Nice website dogs and alll !

Q: if i XXX two dogs how old should they be? And should it be off chain and full XXX? And for how long? -anonymous A: Sorry, these are NOT complicated things. Which means that if you're asking then you really should not know it. You get it? You should ask these thru the personal service. Q: What is your advice on XXX dogs? -anonymous A: No to use too young dogs? Q: Can a cap of bleach in water be good for house dog as well. Can I wash a dog in mild bleach water for hunting dog thats in deep woods often. He sometime gets fleas for wild life animals. -anonymous A: Here we have never used bleach but only for cleaning houses and places. It sure works well. It is not a risc for animals or humans as long as the solution is reasonable (it is used world wide to desinfect drinking water, too). Q: Adding note to food allergy !! Appering food allergys, Very dry skin no parasites No demodecosis. Also chews feet, groin, Had allergy test noted in last topic. So do you stll think I can improve this this dog on a strict diet. -anonymous A: The special diet is always a good idea because it does not cost anything, can not harm the dog and gives more answers. The point is to be stict in the diet and keep the dog on that diet for long enough. Not days or weeks but months. This because of the point B (below). It is extreamly easy to get false diagnoses in allergies. Owners easliy get obsessed about dogs allergies. The owner tries all kind of treatments, changes diet, uses substitutes and much more. Watch out for not doing the same panic. Keep it simple, reduce the factors. Q: any photos of the adult, proof ones? -anonymous A: On the VIP side and some in the Pitbull Database. Q: Well do you or dont you? I know you used to breed them for XXXX, ill pay good $$$ -anonymous A: Are you talking about pups? Pups - 1,000 euro/each, thats simple :-) Adult, proofed ones, are about 2,000 and up. My advice is that you jump on the plane and fly over here. Welcome! Q: any XXXX pit bulls for sale? Id pay 1000 euros. -anonymous A: That is a good one, keep in touch! Q: the lead u give us when we buy a dog is it a chain lead or leather or some thing else -anonymous A: Sorry, we do not get it. Try again! Q: the lead u give us when we buy a dog is it a chain lead or leather or some thing else -anonymous A: Sorry, I do not get it. Try again! Q: what air line do u buy ur dogs tickets at the ... -anonymous A: Our line is simply Chinaman ane more closely Lee ling. Q: when u ship a pup to some where do u send the form that says its 100% american pitbull -anonymous A: Well, we ave beeb in the breeding business for abou 25 - 30 yrs. Do you think we are really interested tp dp spme scam for one (1) pup? Anyway, you are welcome to visit us almost any time! Q: I always fo get to to add a question and think about it after. Anyways from your last response my dog runs stright out for five miles i'm on a ATV. Ok new question my young dog have food allergys and I really value your input. Please tell me a very simple diet that a dog can thrive on and for how long can he be on that. I had blood test it confirms very allergic to beef, allot of grains, he itch most of the time. I hope to turn things around by feeding lamb. How long will it take to get all the allergic things out of his system that he was feed for one year. Sorry for a long question but detail for you is helpful Thanks very very much -anonymous A: Runtraining with ATV sounds like a brilliant idea. However, keep in mind that dogs use less energy and power when they are running free than what they are using in power walk or other slower tempo. It looks like the harderst training for a bulldog is either slow walk where they pull the leash or really fast running. About allergy - this is an important topic. First, keep in mind these facts: A - human allergies are very badly known and still they are way better known than dog allergies B - if a dog is allergic for something that he gets daily, this dog very easily shows allergic symptoms for almost anything C - allergies changes by time, hormonal activity and much more. So, if you or your vet assume or the tests shows your dog is allergic - first, do not worry, it is very usual that is it not a big deal. Put your dog on a special diet and keep it that way for several months. The special diet should be very simple, like chicken and rice, nothing else. No treats, no kibbles, nothing. Just chicken and rice for at least one, two or three months. Note, you do not have to worry that there is some side effects, the only side effect is that owners mind cracks. The die length because of B above. If the dog still who symptomns the it is either no allergy or the a very rare case of allergy to rice or chicken, practically not possible... A good example, there is a special but quite common allergy for cow proteins and the problem is that the dog gets those anywhere, even the chicken rice kibbles... that leads to B above. Lamb -> same proteins as in beef. After that diet above, and if there still are symptoms, you might concider trying a new allergy test at your vet. I try to keep this simple (becuse it is). Allergy is what we call an easy diagnose. Propably the dog has demodecosis, some hormonal problems or whatever, but the allergy tests gives an easy answer for the vet and the owner. Do not get desperate, usually it is not about the allergy even if it looks like that. The line between over sensitivity and allergy is very thin, if there is any. Here some short info from our yard. We mostly feed cow meat (beef) and pig meat. We assume that some of our dogs might be sensitive for the cow proteine and those are fed only with pig or chicken. The dogs are fed practically only with fresh animal meat products, fat and other parts. Some dogs have shown (cosmetic) skin problems but those have practically all been diagnosed as demodecosis (juvenile) . Finally, you did not tell how your dogs allergy is appearing. You mentioned that hes itching. Is it skin problems? If so, then it might be something totally else than allergy. Dry enviroment, lack of fats, parasites etc. More about that in the next topic. Q: how much would a pup cost in XXX or a rough guess -anonymous A: For the moment the pup prices at our kennel is exactly 1,000 euro. That excludes the shippment which is usually in Europe around 0 to 200 euros, USA 100 to 400 euro, other parts of the world around 200 to 900 euro. Q: when the puppies are born can u send a videos to my email address so i can pick the pup i wont -anonymous A: Sorry, we do not have the resources to really do exclusive shootage. We try to put some info on the web page. All the time on the yard with the bulldogs, you see! Q: if i am going to buy a pup and im the first one to reserve a pup can i choose any 1 on that day because i wont 1 with a big head because i am looking for a strong pitbull -anonymous A: Why not. The thing is that it is impossible to look at a puppy and tell what it is as an adult. This is a fact. That breeder who claims to know better is a fool. Q: how many months before do we have to reserve a pup to buy -anonymous A: That is not important. Sometimes we have pups and usually not. The reservation is not an issue but if possible, be active when we have. Q: How to put up more stamina ? -JK A: Daily training. That is it. 1 - 2 hrs. Jenny is good, after a while, use weights. Q: how long would it take to ship a pitull pup to XXX with all the documents -anonymous A: The flight takes 2 - 6 hrs, the paper work 1 - 6 weeks. Q: can u send the dog to XXX with every thing like the documents instead of us coming there -anonymous A: Sure. No problem. Q: cant u breed some dogs in a few months cauze summer 2010 is a bit fare -anonymous A: I am afraid no. Q: if we do come to see u do we still need to pay the flight ticket -anonymous A: Yes, that is true. Good news is that is it only 20 - 50 euros. Q: do u ever have any red nose pitbul puppies when u breed -anonymous A: Sometimes yes. Q: if we buy a dog and u send it to XXX will u send all the stuff like it says on the website like the lead, collar and docunments. -anonymous A: Yes, you have to visit us anyway. Q: are you selling any XXX pits? -anonymous A: Yes. Is there any others? Q: when u start breeding are u going to breed red nose pits or blue nose or blue and red nose together -anonymous A: No, we do not have blue ones. Q: when is your next pitbull litter due for cauze i might be intrested -anonymous A: Propably summer 2010. Q: do u have any red nose pits puppies for sale when there born but dont matter if u dont i dont mind getting a blue nose pit pup -anonymous A: No, not now. Q: can u reduce the dogs cost by a bit -anonymous A: Of course, come and visit our kennel and we will talk more. Right now we have here about 40 - 150 animals. To be honest, it is not about the money, why we are breeding dogs. The previous bulldog litter we had was about 3 to 4 years ago so do the math ... Q: are any of your dogs fighting dogs because im not looking for a fighting pit im looking for a family pet -anonymous A: Of course not! Are you kidding? Why would we othervise do tight, planned line breeding for over 20 years... By the way, all dogs are good family pets. Q: im from XXX and can we speak to u on the phone and u can send some pictures on my eamail and we can buy it over the phone and u can send it to my house -anonymous A: Everything is possible but everything has a price, too. We do not know if you are ready to pay all that. I suggest you jump in a plane and fly over here. Take it as a vacation. Fly here, one day here, peek the yard with 50 bona fide game dogs, do some dog talk and fly back. I think the cost of this trip is for you around $50 (there are some cheap flights you know). No need to buy anything but after this you have seen more real dogs than anyone. It's worth it and you are always welcome. Q: do we have to come and see u first -anonymous A: Depends on you and from where you are. Usually it is most easy if you come here, look, select and pick it up. The price of international cargo of one dog is usually pretty much the same as the price of economy flight ticket + the dog as passanger luggage ... Dunkel Kennels is a BIG yard with a lot of good bulldogs, worth to visit. Q: non riesco ad iscrivermi -jolly A: Si trovano a dover chiedere V.I.P. primo. Q: Have i been approved for VIP?

Some are staying here, some are already now reserved so it depends much on how big the litter is what the situation is. Some adults are for sale right now. These are dogs that are not in our breeding program and that is why we can sell them. All are healthy and sound, ready to go. Q: Do you sell puppies to XXX too? -anonymous A: Yes we do. Q: i am interested of your pit bull puppies and where do u live how much are they and do you ship and how much is the shipping and would u able to deliver to my house and do you take checks and do you take paypal through debit or credit cards and other money you take -katie A: Our kennel is in Europe. Normal price for puppies is 1,000.00 Euro or $1,300.00 each. Yes, we do ship but you have to visit our kennel first. The shipping costs depends on where you want the dog to be shipped.

Q: how much yall sell puppies an dog 4 -lil loc A: Normal price for puppies is 1,000.00 Euro or $1,300.00 each. (Note. Right now it look that we do not have many puppies for sale. All puppies are pretty much reserved.) Adult dogs are priced individually. Q: do you have pup for sale -anonymous A: We have one done and two planned breedings this year. One is waiting for the female's heat. This year litters: 1) Alpha - born - none for sale. 2) Triple Chinaman - breeding done - will be born in may. 3) Mincer x Molly Bee - not bred yet. Many of the puppies stay here (that is why we are breeding dogs) and the rest is sold. We have now many reservations but we do not know now how many puppies are born. If you are interested then ask more now. Q: Any litters this year -anonymous A: Yes, we have. Take a look at the news-page, our ALPHA-litter is born (none of the ALPHA-pups are for sale), next litter will be born in summer time.

If not, they sure may know where to ask or who could make one. Q: hi, wanted your advice firstly i emailfor VIP but havent got a reply, secondly i got a bulldog but his teeth are not come out properly from one side really bad that his toungue sticks out. pls reply much appricated -anonymous A: First, apply for VIP thru the contact page and you will get it. Second, Is the bulldog puppy, young or old? - If he's a puppy, be sure that the none permanent teeth are removed before the age of 6 months. Ask you vet for more assistanse. - If he's young or adult and it's about the permanent teeth. Do not worry, it is fixable. First, try to find a a vet who knows about teeth. After that show the dog and ask for advice. Always ask for a second opinion, too. Try to avoid removing permanent teeths. Another thing you should try to avoid is expensive city-vets, try to find a good vet from the countryside. You save money and get better service. This is global. Q: Hello, I was looking at the yard tips, readin about feeding, and you mention that when a bulldog is getting the right nutrition they shit dry, and hard poop, that turns to dust, well I used to feed meat and bone's and my dogs poop was like that, very hard and dry, and turned to dust, I thought for sure that it was not supossed to be that way, so I stopped feeding that way, so you are telling me that when thier poop was dry, the feed was best? thank you for the time and advice sportsmen -sportsmen A: This is correct. When dogs are eating meat, what they are supposed to do, the shit is dry and turns into white color. This kind of shit do not smell either. If the dog poop's color and appearance is like human shit, soft, brown and smelly, then the dog is eating wrong kind of food. This soft poop causes various problems, one very well known is problems with anal glands. Basically, dogs are not humans, dog like human food but that is not the best for them. Q: No ?, just haven't talked to you for a long time, I guess all is well with you, thatis great news. Sure would be nice to get out there one day LOL. I'm just waiting for my vip priveledge's, so I can see what you have dded to the site. Good luck to Dunkel kennels, and BIG congrats on XXX !!!!! -sportsmen A: Thank you Sir, always nice to hear from you. Yes, things are going just okay. A lot of work, thou. Thanks for the congrats, take a look at the VIP-section, there are some more details. Q: alright mate you got any pups for sale if not when you do how much will they be and you got the ped for sire and dam and also can you ship to ***? ... -S.O. A: All pups are now sold or reserved. Next not-reserved puppies are from the litters born in summer 2009. The reservations should be done now. It's not 100 % sure yet, I think it'll be something like this (click on the names and you see the pedigree): Sire - Woodsman Jr. Dam - Black Abbie But, there are many other choises still open. All planned breedings are simply super. Yes, of course we ship to all countries. No problems. But you have to visit our kennel first. Q: hello not spoken to your for a while how have you been? hope everything with the dogs is good and dont trust no 1 from out of your country -N-Man A: Hello! Thanks, we are fine. How are you? Things, yard, dogs, breedings and stuff are going really great. A lot of work, thou. We are expanding the yard and doing some new superb breeding plans. Not trusting? Hah haa, we are trusting everybody, dogs are fun! :-) Most people know that. Q: how do you spot a game dog what to look for? thanks -Rick A: I think there is no easy way. Of course, it helps if one have a very long experience and has seen hundeds and hundreds of bulldogs. That helps. Another thing is that how do you determine the gameness?
