ITS REALLY 2022

Man its been a long time, and God's been good. My Queen and I now have a beautiful Princess to round out the family with our Prince. My pack is smaller yet, stronger than it ever has been. No litters on the ground but, I'm always thinking and looking at the future. Yea I still be looking in on a select few who have stayed true to themselves and the dogs, without a doubt. Many still refer a lot of people to me, although...........

For a long time I've been thinking, why do I deal with the people who come with these animals, while getting mad often. The wanting to say, "forget it all" has been a consistent battle from within, yet I remain here for the few. Over the years many have come and gone, some leaving with gifts while others stealing a little, only to rob others from the start.  As many wished my downfall while laughing at my loses, I continue to defy the odds.

The main reason I'm still here doing me is because, I did it my way; while staying true to myself. I didn't get into dogs to be liked by others, or to become famous nor rich. I didn't get into dogs to befriend people and make enemies with their enemies, only to become friends with they enemy and foe to thy friend. That's the strange things many do in these dogs. I got into dogs because I've loved canines and wanted to share the knowledge I've gained through the years yet, I'm not sure that's still the case. 

How can I help, when many only want to battle senseless facts that aren't true nor on the topics at hand. How can you help, when you've given advice only for it to be tossed out the window. How can you help, when those you try to help are already blinded by those who are blind themselves. How can you help when you truthfully tell them that you don't consider particular things in the equation, only for them to harp on the things not considered. How can you help, when the confused choose to listen to the fledgling and not the seasoned.

With questioning and knowing all of this, what can I do? I still see the call for information by people, but is it worth my time to share with these people. I've talked with a few about getting together ourselves, privately to talk shop. I've worked on the book over and over, yet can't see the urgency of releasing any of it. Lives on social media have become sparse, and the tube's once in a blue moon. What should I do?

What I know is, no matter what I'll always be NoVACAIN Kennels. I'll always keep true to my word and to what my original vision continues to be. No matter how disappointed I become with the masses, I will always be there for the few who seek the raw uncut truth. How can I abandoned those that truly have a hunger in doing it right. I mean some truly foresee the tears because they have seen my tears through the passion I have for my animals. These same few also know, that one day they to will feel the same hurts and joys, as they begin to develop those experiences through the years.

I've learned many will listen not once but twice, only to turnaround and impersonate you, while dangerously sharing information they haven't experienced completely incorrect. After doing so these same individuals who haven't lived the knowledge that they half halfheartedly shared are blamed for the downfall of someones animal. So the impostors immediately deflects to the one who knows the truth. Only to cast the masses blame from the impostor to the unaware one who lived the truth.

I don't know what good will come from this, but hey I'm still standing. And although I'm standing, these eyes are tired, for they have seen so much in this short time. And maybe one day we'll sit, and while we sit I close my eyes to tell you of a journey. A journey of a kid whose first true best friend was a dog he didn't own. And how that one dog unimaginably set him up to become..................................................................

Still Focused

You'll never understand the true size of my animals without seeing them in person. Ragnar is big and Apache is short and compact both solid animals. But boy is it a major difference in size. When looking at the past 2 litter they are averaging in height around 18 inches to the withers, with the exception of 2 males Ronin and Achellies around 19 inches to the withers maturing closer toward the 20 inch mark, bigger than their sire, and 3 others Apache, Queen, and Lil Bay on the shorter end that will mature around 17 inches. Over all the pups look very very similar as they should, while being some beast in their own right, as it was bred into them. I'm truly pleased with what we have accomplished thus far and can see how we'll be doing in the future already. I'm about to lock some things down and best believe if you salty now, prepare to be in the dead sea, so take some water with you. Oh yea I rarely pull my females out when showing the animals, these bitches are sacred to me.

Pups From 2017 & 2018

When you sit back and reflect on your last 2 litters, one being 6 months and the other being 19 months. Both produced off of your productions, and looking very similar to each other, from the biggest to the smallest of the 2 litters. At that point you don't acknowledge the foolishness, you just keep moving forward doing you. #NoVACAINKennels #NoVACAINBred #rawfedbullies #AmericanBully #ADBABullies #ABKCBullies #NoVACAINCertified #Legacy #bulliesofinstagram #bullieskepttight #workingamericanbullies

The % Of Raw I Feed


Good grief, I can't keep a thing to myself. Lol I've been asked to get back to writing for sometime but now I have to be very selective with what I put out there. I've recently been going through my email with the subject, “FEEDING PERCENTAGES” so here it is, some of my notes.

The chart below is based off of 12 animals within 12 years, having their raw feeding requirements averaged, based on being owned, fed, and worked by NoVACAIN Kennels. I have been feeding these percentages to the 2017 and 2018 litters and have found great results, while tweaking it here and there when the individual requires so. My advice would be that all NoVACAIN Kennels bred pups be fed this way,  yet the caretaker must keep a watchful eye to make sure that each individual's nutritional requirements are being fulfilled, while being properly exercised.

A animals nutritional requirements being met doesn't just apply to a animal being underfed, but also must include being overfed.

Over feeding young animals which I often see with American Bullies, is very detrimental to the longevity of a animals bones, joints, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems. This stresses pasterns, elbows, hips, hocks, heart, and lungs. Commonly seen torn ligaments and sprains in young animals, also it causes the lungs and heart to overwork trying to keep the body going pushing blood and pulling in vital oxygen, and to sum that up shorting the lifespan from 8-12 to 2-5 years.


Anyways, I love keeping my young animals pretty lean and active allowing their bones, joints, heart, and lungs to properly form and become stronger and stronger. Around 13-15 months I add a little body weight on, not too much while a little heavier work begins allowing the heart to properly grow and work without being forced to overwork. At the 2 to 2 ½  year mark I tend to begin cutting them loose and letting them get wide open. The work starts to become intense, but man do they look good and have strong hearts, getting chopped up while beginning to fly.

Well that's enough chatter, the chart begins with the minimal ethical age that a animal should be allowed to leave the breeders care:

8-15 weeks 10%
Week 16 (4 months) begin transition
17-24 weeks 8%
Week 25 (6 ¼ months) begin transition
26-33 weeks 7%
Week 34 (8 ½ months)begin transition
35-42 weeks 6%
Week 43 (10 ¾ months) begin transition
44-51 weeks 5%
Week 52 (13 months) begin transition
53-60 weeks 4%
Week 61 (15 ¼ months) begin transition
62-69 weeks 3%
Week 70 (17 ½ months) begin transition
71 weeks + 2.5-3% adult maintenance
Animals 8 years plus have done extremely well being fed 2%

18 of my most used and often asked about herbs/spices.

Basil: I call this a must have for any dog owner simply because it protects the liver. Basil is anti-bacterial, anti-cancer, and it bangs free radicals. Besides the most important previously mentioned tidbits I also use basil right before and after whelping a litter because it’s great at reducing pain and inflammation. 

Black Pepper: Seek out Master “Piperine” to enhance the bioavailability of your curcumin in turmeric by 1,000 x’s lol. Black pepper’s highly active natural chemical piperine increases nutrient absorption greatly in the body, hence when using vet prescribed drugs, hold fast “CAUTION”, because of the increased risk of accidental overdose.

Catnip: Here’s why ready, stimulates appetite in a hurry and aids in digestion, by adding ½ teaspoon per pound of food hits my dogs off with iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium,vitamins A, C, and E and a few others.

Cayenne Pepper: A crazy way to give vitamins A, B6, C, E, K, fiber, and manganese to our dogs, yet so much more to say the least reduce blood cholesterol. Cayenne like many other red peppers contain capsaicin, a potent inhibitor of substance P, and also known to kill ingested bacteria by stimulating the stomach lining to secrete protective juices which act as a first line of defense.

Cilantro: Mostly used on my bitches fresh the day after whelping a litter stimulates the appetite and helps in relieving gas and indigestion.

Cinnamon: Antioxidant overload in a great way and a must use. It's anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, regulates blood sugar, goes to war with free radicals, and protects against heart disease.

Dandelion: I recommend using the leaves which are a richer source of vitamin A than carrots, yet the entire plant can be used. Simply put the cardiovascular system, liver, teeth, and bones will love you. Dandelion’s contain vitamins, C, D, E, K, B complex, potassium, calcium, iron, thiamin, choline, lecithin, phosphorus, zinc, silicon, and riboflavin. Dry it all flower to the root and use 1 teaspoon per 25 pounds daily.

Dill: Look let me tell you the dill truth, it’s an anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, antibacterial, yet its greatest rolls are improved appetite and digestion by helping the gut process greater numbers of  nutrients from its food, instead of just passing them through the body as waste. Now I do not nor recommend the use of dill at all during pregnancy because you risk having a miscarriage.

Fennel: I use fennel for 2 reasons, the first is a detoxifier that contains vitamins A, C, niacin, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, zinc, and copper. Second for the benefits of increased omega-6 fatty acids and milk production, which in turn benefits the brain function and overall functioning of the now nursing puppies, but hold fast! Feeding fennel heavy can cause serious ill effects like, irregular heartbeat and trouble breathing.

Flaxseed: A must have source of omega-3’s & 6’s  fatty acids, with vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber that are in my opinion, greatly needed for cardiovascular maintenance, good skin, and the flashiness of a coat. I recommend that you ground it up fresh and use it within 3 days for best results.

Oregano: I love oregano myself, it’s crazy rich in antioxidants blowing blueberries out the water, backed with a great amount of Omega-3 fatty acids. It also holds a good amount of vitamins A, C, K, followed by iron, manganese, and fiber. Ok so besides what I’ve already mentioned oregano is simply the truth it’s highly known for being anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-parasitic, anti-viral, backed with cancer-fighting properties; on top of having the ability to soothe a upset stomachs and relieving sore muscles.

Parsley: Anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and rich in antioxidants this is another personal favorite for mine. Parsley is packed with vitamins A, B,  C, K, carotene, iron, calcium, and folate, promoting kidney health by filtering out the toxins.

Peppermint: I grow peppermint in my yard for a few different reasons. To calm upset stomachs, help combat respiratory infections, soothe dry skin in winter, as well as an antiparasitic when it clicks up with ginger and garlic.

Rosemary: This smells so good when grown around the yard, it also helps to prevent mosquitoes. Besides that I use rosemary for its anti-allergic, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties hands down one of the best.

Sage: Well here we go I always pair this with oregano to make a super base. Sage is remarkably great for bone, eye, immune, and skin health, its anti-inflammatory, and highly anti-microbial. Its loaded with antioxidants, vitamins A, E, and K, trace minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and zinc. When you throw rosemary in the mix along with oregano it intensifies the allergen fighting properties as well as being a viscous GI infection prevention fighter.

Sea Salt: HOLD FAST!!!  The provided sodium, is NECESSARY for life!!! So much counts on the very small amount of sea salt that is taken in orally. It is vital for proper adrenal gland function,  muscle contraction/expansion, and nerve stimulation. The chloride helps produce the necessary acids needed to digest protein; which in turn produce the enzymes necessary for proper brain functioning and growth. The magnesium is critical for proper nerve transmission, early bone formation, and supporting a healthy heart.

Thyme: On any given day upping the thyme thats teamed up with sage, parsley, oregano, rosemary, basil, garlic, and ginger keeps my dogs respiratory system’s and brains on point year round, but especially in the cold winter months where brain function is slightly off in extreme cold. Thyme is anti-bacterial, antiseptic, antispasmodic, anti-cancer; and has vitamin K, iron, manganese, calcium, fibre and tryptophan, phytochemicals. Thyme is also known for its ability to discourage fungus and bacteria growth.

Turmeric: Anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, helps to heal and maintain gut and liver health, improves brain function of older dogs or one who don’t seem so bright, and so much more GOLDEN PASTE!!!!!!  ¼ teaspoon for small dogs, ½ teaspoon for medium dogs and 1 teaspoon for large dogs per day, mixed into food.
