Backwoods Kennel acknowledges that without the help of some fine folks we would not be involved with this wonderful breed and any success we may enjoy is measured in large part to their foundations, encouragement and ability to share valueable knowledge.


A sincere thank you to Shawn Jones of Baytown Kennels. A chance phone call to him in 1991 developed into a lasting friendship. He taught me the value of critical assessment of faults and virtues in our breed. He encouraged me in my own pursuit of knowledge relating to structure and movement.


Thank you to Everett & Jennifer Markle of American Aggro Kennels for their valuable friendship and support. They never fail to lift my morale during tough times.


Thank you to founder, Saundra Dean and owner, Lorene Wilson of Sierra Kennels. Their male, AKC/UKC CH. Sierra's Lil Percy Penny Packer is the foundation Sire of my breeding program. His amazing temperament and superior type is still evident in his decendants.


Thank you to Pam Carter of Gaff Kennels for her successful breeding of CH. 'PR' Devenports Coolhand Luke & GR.CH. Knowlwoods Ca Kellsey who are also a part of my foundation as well as countless other breeding/show kennels.


A thankful appreciation to the many folks who have chosen to include Backwoods APBT'S in their own programs and families.
