Here is just some of the things the kennel gets up to in its spare time!
Our dogs are child friendly through the use of relatives.
Maybe even a little too friendly. This is RBKs Eva's son Turbo. He lives with my sister Blake who also owns a micro bully named Tyson. However Tyson isn't one for cuddles, lets admit it.
We run through practice shows to get our dogs used to everything, especially working in pairs.
Here we have RBKs Thunders Call 'Staxx' with his doggy brother RBKs Cujo. They are the kennels most troublesome pair but aren't they just worth it!?!
We then have RBKs Abby, Ambers helping her build up the confidence to stand correctly with park distractions. Isn't she pretty?
We attempt to make sure our males are comfortable working together. Here we have RBKs Juchi and RBKs King going through a usual weekly routine.
RBKs Akira and RBKs Maya doing the similar training routine, what an impressive set of girls.
RBKs King and RBKs Kana from different litters but look exactly the same in terms of markings. We get some looks while doing our usual walks.
A while back we went to observe a fawn puppy with a black mask. We have decided to call him Otto; RBKs Otto. We acquired him from another kennel from within our town, very good breeders! Fantastic structure however he does lack the drive; yet our females will improve that surely. I couldn't help help but make faces at him hes so cute!
Few months later we are still practicing his focus when out walking, turns out he has the drive yet uncontrollable. He gets training and socialising everyday with a single days break with our females to teach him manners. At 10 months he's huge. |

We've recently started walking our dogs in pairs. They walk nicely...however do need a reminder now and again. Amber took out RBKs Ghost and RBKs Abby today - Regular questions of "How do you handle those beasts" and "How easy are they to train" Response is depends on the dog but overall they're rather decent once you establish order!
RBKs Ghost hasn't been out much and so we did some distraction training at the park, along with RBKs Juchi and RBKs Thunders Call 'Staxx' they are the most athletic bullies we have.
Andre also walked RBKs Yogi and RBKs Zypher, Yogi is extremely young so training is somewhat out the window, Andre called me to complain at how Yogi was pulling and causing Zypher to act up. We really do have uncontrollable beasts at times.

Hello again from Rose Bank Kennels!
Its been extremely busy around the kennels - everything from having to say goodbye to RBKs Oscar, RBKs Riley and RBKs Maika. Some old tribute pictures will be uploaded on the next update.
However we've got some exciting news, we have RBKs Ghost starting IGP training to see if in the future he'll be brave enough to take part in future SIKC if registered. The sleeve was used eventually; the test was to see if he was actually interested in making actual contact instead of the 'toy'. With help from Karen Kingston the training session was a success.
A while back Aruto bred Juchi to another bully breeder within the city, only two pups were produced however both huge! Both resembling Juchi of course~
Speaking of Juchi we managed to get him registered and entered his first show last month! Good luck RBKs Dark Knight. He's also been developing his play and prey drive ... noticing a huge difference with him now.
Another new addition has joined the RBK gang due to the loss of three dogs. Introducing RBKs Molly the most athletic female bullie we have today; leaner than what we go for in the kennels however wouldn't hurt to add to the breeding program. She's extremely fond of flyball - we say she fly's!
Due to the loss of our dogs, the gang took a group vacation and brought all the dogs with us. Amber and myself mostly taking care of the 8+ dogs while Andre, Shelia and Aruto kicked back. Typical much...

Heya! another RBK update!
Honestly talk about....well puppies! We've had a few behind the scene breedings in our town and even managed to catch up with the new owners about the litter. The Eppingmile litter was born to RBKs Cujo x Rheeva. Rheeva is a solid blue bully who is owned by a nice couple down the road. Gosh they turned out to be a stunning bunch. We had a surprise white female within the litter, didn't see that coming; honestly was expecting a single Tri from Cujo - however maybe next time.  Are they not the sweetest things? We've even had an update from a previous litter sired by RBKs Dark knight 'Juchi'. They're rather solid pups. Funnily enough the same couple purchased 2 pups from Juchi's earlier litter.   3 pup's at once, don't know how they do it...with a toddler no less! |

Hello again from RBKs!
We have taken in a 6 month old XL bully pup from a home in the town, he's an unruly pup but we adore him. Bruno is only with us for a short board and train with Amber once she gets round to it...isn't his eyes gorgeous. However our kennel does not breed for blue eyes as they are not apart of the standard, however they do come up in our litters. These pups are always neutered/spayed and can only be used for trials when given to new owners.  Bruno is standing with RBKs Bently who is now 5 years old! In his prime - however he remains just a house pet. Bruno will be staying with us for at least another 6 months....lets see how huge he gets. He currently weighs 68 pounds and counting. His fathers final weight unconditioned is 145 pounds. The owners wanted to see if he had what it takes to become a civil protection dog; upon discovery....he's a big baby.  As Shelia demonstrates....complete and utter baby.  Here's another one of our board and trains. A european X american show line male named Ty. Personally I prefer the european chunky Rottweilers however bigger is not always better - he's a beautiful dog and softly natured too. You can see the size different between the two, bless Bentley didn't have a chance in the practice session.  Our oldest member for board and train is Melia, she's an extraordinary girl yet very timid so I hope they don't breed her. She's been working on getting over her fear of being touched, trust me it'ts not an easy process yet I managed to give her a quick health check.  A few months back we had a co breeding with Ambers stud RBKs Ghost and a female from around town, extremely unusual considered her colouration and eye colour, her and her pups were absolutely gorgeous. They've all grown up and Amber had received some pictures and updates about the pups, they'd be 9-10 months old now.    They outgrew their mother extremely quickly, in condition she weighs about 50 pounds however they hit that weight at 8 months old. The black pied male known as Zorrow resembled his mother extremely well. The litter overall were boisterous, keen and strong.  They're all so structurally sound its ridiculous..., with the success of this litter we grow closer to becoming an open kennel with the rest of the kennel club. Hoping to bring RBK blood to show homes who don't mind having a bit of a challenge with our bully dogs. Zorrow is not to standard and his owners have been advised to get him castrated to prevent the continuation of the recessive blue eyed gene. |

We've been rather busy getting ready to send Bruno home, it'll be such a shame to see him go but he was worth the experience. He also taught us that we are not ready for his sheer size and hes still under a year old. He's made great friends with RBKs Otto and will have to have him over again soon.
Bruno became so attached to Shelia that she's finding it a little difficult to realise he won't be there to drool on her bed every morning, bless her. On a happier note we've found some old pictures of Abby's and past female litters - oh it brings such joy to our faces as remember these pups. At one point we had an almost full litter of merles and we do plan on doing a marle litter at some point.
Tell us if you'd like to add some RBK blood to your kennels, RBKs Waterfalls Gleam (Akhira) is coming into season.
RBKs Abby was bred to RBKs Staxx's litter mate who is a blue merle. Hence why we have to be careful who we breed Staxx to has be carries the merle gene. Honestly these two were beauties and were shipped abroad to another bully kennel. Look how sweet they were
The Lilac Tri merle female was incredible, Abby outdid herself on that one. We should have kept her. Amber still has yet to forgive me on that one.
As I said comment below or message me if anyone is interested in a breeding involving RBKs Akhira and most likely RBKs Staxx.

Good evening everybody from RBKs!
For our weekly update I thought a pack walk would be nice, I took out Akira, Cujo, Staxx and Molly to enjoy an afternoon stroll. I thought they'd roam far but they actually stuck pretty close. Bless Molly who was so excited you could tell she wanted to run - but chose to stay by the pack.
Poor Akira attempting to keep up with the rest. Passing an on leash section of the stroll was hard. Walking two dogs is a chore... but walking four is madness. But the gang did really well. #Trigang.
Once home I left the dogs in the yard to chill for a bit, if you ask me Akira looks knackered....less walking for her now. Everyone was pretty chilled out....except Molly of course~
We have an announcement! We may have thee foundation males for sale; in our first forever sale. Keep updated with us for your chance to obtain some RBK Standard bullie males!

Hey man ... Andre taking over for the RBKs update as Marlee spends time with Akira. We're checking out this beautiful black tri pup from a kennel in town his name is Oslo....He's really bonded with Zypher!
Very lovely boy, extremely chilled and amazing movement. No drive what so ever though so he'll most likely be a companion if we obtain him. I like him so much I may just keep him at our location.... don't tell Marlee!
As Marlee did a pack walk I thought I'd do the same, it was a fantastic walk....apart from the dirty looks we got today. I think Zypher scared some people....we get hate sometimes for our bullies but no matter!
Yogi should have been the one people are scared of, she's actually a wild card. Lovely solid chocolate girl. to be fair she's calmed down to what she was 6 months ago. Look how friendly Zypher looks....don't get me wrong he won't hesitate to act lets just say that...
But seriously...what a stud...
Gorgeous fat head, decent coat...could be better between you and me but y'know it's our breeding. Nice structure and an okay mover. Bless Yogi....has to get Shelia to run some practice drills on her - she stacked decently enough.
We had some of our pups come back for a family meet up, we love to gather past litters up every so often to see how they're doing. It's so nice to see your own productions do well. These two really get me especially the lilac tri male with the battle crop. He's got crazy drive - his owner has to use tires to tire him out. The blue merle female is also a blessing - despite her being merle shes lovely. Her owners decided on a long crop ... personally not a big fan.
Big man RBK cujo is looking fine y'all, big square chest, big head. He's maturing nicely as he gets older. Not sure why Marlee won't register him with you guys...she's tripping. She's working him hard though guys...wonder what's happening there.
Almost forgot! I decided to take the pack out for a jog....well a jog for me and a trot for them. They did really well - they get this about once a day to stop them from getting tubby.
Update on Juchi! We had one of his pups come back for evaluations....definitely a father like daughter moment. She's even badder than he is! Worst thing is she's younger than him
You go girl - rocking that thick blue collar. A lil irritation work never hurts anybody.
Marlee wanted me to explain our crops. As we have a litter coming she wanted me to explain what they would look like on the pups if requested. We do long, show and battle crop. No the battle crop in this kennel is not for fighting - don't bully our breed! We love them looking badass for aesthetic reasons. but temperament wise that's a disqualification. Hence why most of our dogs are stable minded and affectionate to their families. Long crop is the blue tri, battle crop is the white and show crop is the chocolate mask. Over and out from RBK's cya soon!

Marlee here! We're taking a small pause to deal with real life situations. However, I have not forgotten about RBKs Waterfalll's Gleam litter. As soon as we're back they'll be announced properly and new owners can then ask about the puppy they would like to obtain.
Sorry for the trouble - please bare with us.
Until next time - have great success in showing everyone! |

We're back! Amber here. Marlee sends her apologies as she keeps an eye on the Rose Bloom Litter. Honestly not too much to update here however, I will personally be showing more of our training side to the kennel as I am our kennels main trainer.
We have a lovely blue standard bully named Aslan staying with us, he's out of Cujo x Rheva. Gentle sloppy boy sold to a home within the next town.
Aslan practicing an on leash sit and stay around the childrens park - he's not too good with children and we're attempting to solve this. Slow and steady though; we have RBKs Abby with us for ... support.
As you can tell by his walk, very sloppy boy to be fair he is very young. RBKS Abby styling it out as usual. She gets a lot of attention even for pushing on 4 years old. As they push on we will retire them and rehome but we're thinking one last breeding between RBKs Abby and RBKs Ghost. Attempt to get the best of both worlds!
Pushing on for 5 he still looks great, currently in his prime. Would be extremely lucky to gain a white pup from any breeding - we shall wait and see.
We've had an update from two more of Juchi's past pups, a brother and sister sale. Sold to different families as we are a strong believer of litter mate syndrome. Both beautifully made dogs - we do love our black beauties.
Approximately 16 months old these two according to their owners are lovely by themselves but a handful together, We will have to get a family photo to experience the true beauty of black dogs.
Bless you Juchi for sharing your genes, hopefully they develop your courage over time too.
