Welcome to Sinnoma Coast Kennel located in beautiful British Columbia, we hope you enjoy your
visit! We produce American Pit Bull Terriers for conformation, working ability, health and above all else for temperament. Our
dogs are home raised and highly socialized from an early age with adults, children and other animals. Our dogs are
all registered with the U.K.C. and the A.D.B.A. We adhere to the U.K.C's breeders code of ethics to improve
and advance the breed. All of our dogs will be health tested, DNA tested and titled before breeding to ensure
that we produce high quality dogs. Whether you are looking for a show/breeding dog or a companion quality
dog, we are sure you will be satisfied with a new addition to your family. Please visit our puppy page for available
puppies. If you have any questions please email us, we would be pleased to help you.
Our kennel opposes dog fighting of any sort and we will not sell a dog/puppy for any illegal
purpose!
Before contacting us please consider this.
This breed is not for everyone. They require a lot of obedience training, attention,
a strong pack leader and exercise. They require an owner who is prepared to have the most obedient dog on the block.
They require their owner to be the most patient, educated and respectful dog owner in their town. Owners of this breed
must constantly prove the stereotypes of this breed wrong and that is a hard road to take for some people but this is what's
needed to preserve this wonderfull breed. If we fail to do all this we will see the extinction of the APBT
in our lifetime. Bad owners are only part of the problem we are facing, bad breeders are another. Bad owners does
not only apply to those who mistreat their dogs but in my eyes it also applies to those who neglect training, socialization,
proper housing and those who do not strive to educate themselves and others to the fullest. Failure to do this
is detrimental to this amazing breed. You see we have a fight on our hands which affects all breeds and
all countries in the world. How do you fight? You follow these guidelines, be the best owner you can be, you donate
to groups who fight BSL for us, you write letters to your politicians, and you never let down this breed by being irresponsible
and you never quit (cause you know your dog would never quit on you).
And now for the breeders...there are many people who call themselves breeders
but are nothing more than back-yard puppy peddlers. They will sell to anyone who has cash in hand and have no regard
to proper conformation or health or temperment. These breeders who specialize in "bully style" bigger
the better dogs, have no idea that form equals function. What does this mean? Well these dogs
were bred to work and how can they efficiently work when there body is so out of proportion that they can not even climb
on the couch. When you take away proper form you are changing the breed which is why we don't consider "bully style"
an American Pit Bull Terrier at all, not to mention many of them came from mastiff/bulldog mixing i'm
sure. This is why good breeders show their dogs and compete in events, to ensure that their dogs are worthy of being
bred and worthy of continuing blood lines that were created from such hard work and dedication from the old-timers long ago.
Health testing is another issue. These bad breeders don't understand the importance of this because they don't care
what they sell and they are too ignorant to realize that they are breeding dogs that will be so unhealthy, unable to walk
from hip displasia, unable to be what they were made to be and will most definately die young. They do not
have organs big enough to support such a large frame and their bodies struggle to keep themselves alive. This is
cruel, but they don't have the knowlege or the heart to understand this. Think of it like an obese person,
they are sick, their heart and lungs are working over-time and they eventually die due to this but humans are creating
this on purpose, how ignorant and heartless! But that doesn't matter to them because they don't have contracts
to even protect the buyer, and how could they guarantee anything anyway. They have no regard for the breed only their
pocket book and image. As long as they keep having puppies and boasting their large size to wannabe tough guy buyers,
this trend will only get worse. Just because you put two pedigrees together does not make you a breeder. Don't buy
from these breeders, they are ruining our beloved breed one puppy at a time. Talk people out of buying from them and
confront these breeders on their shotty practices, maybe you can make one more bully breeder extinct and help preserve the
proper APBT. Breed standards are written with purpose, because form equals function and this equates to keeping a perfect
breed the way it has been for many years. And as far as the American Bully Registry, it is a joke! These breeders
are trying to justify that they are breeding good dogs by getting trophies at their shows which will never hold any merrit
in the world of the American Pit Bull Terrier. In my eyes there are two styles of the APBT, the UKC and the ADBA style
and that is it! (American Staffordshire Terriers are a different breed derived from the APBT when the AKC and CKC
allowed the APBT's to be registered with them under a new name in 1936.) There working ability and drive has
been bred out of them and I don't consider them to be an APBT even though some are registered in the UKC as such. The
UKC style is a bit bigger and not as leaned out as the ADBA style, however both are equally as great they just took different
routes in their bloodline development. If John Colby, Earl Tudor, Freeman etc. could see what these people
are doing to our breed they would be sickened that their hard work has been so disregared and ashamed of how sloppy and unable
these dogs are but especially amazed of how in such a short time the true APBT has almost disappeared thanks to
these ignorant breeders. I guess it is a reflection of our world these days, where greed, laziness and lack of
ethics and respect prevails. So now you see the true damage these breeders and owners are causing, and you know
what you need to do to protect and preserve the best breed on earth.
A quote by Gandhi says it all:

be judged by the way its animals are treated"
