It is a scientific fact, outcross breeding (breeding dogs together of different breeds), promotes vastly superior dog-health across a broad range of metrics. Our goal is to segregate the superior health, structural, performance and protection characteristics of the more ancient dogs, from the modern dog genome.

At Blasco Family Bulldogs© we produce registered, purebred, very high quality American Bulldog puppies, as well as beautiful, unique, seriously capable Bandogge puppies. It can be categorically stated, that all Blasco dogs, whether our American Bulldogs or Bandogges, are suitable for stable family companionship, home defense, and personal protection. Our Bandogges (also being registered, pedigreed dogs), are the results of outcross breedings between American Bulldogs, South African Boerboels, English Mastiffs, Cane Corsos, Dogue de Bordeaux and other traditional and exotic Mastiff breeds. My name is Daniel Blasco, and that's our boy, Blasco's Doc Holliday. Sorry if I look a little mean, the sun was in my eyes.

Except where otherwise noted, all Blasco dogs can be trained as AKC Canine Good Citizens, while retaining a strong drive towards family protection. Our Bandogges' and American Bulldogs' prey drive is subordinate to their pack drive, motivating protection of the "pack" (that's you, your kids and the other animals you've taught the dog to accept). This is a big deal. It is rare that guard dogs and personal protection dogs are also trustworthy family members. Many police dogs and Schutzhund dogs that are "stable" in public on the end of a leash live in professional kennels, not living rooms.

Even in hunting American Bulldogs and Bandogges do not typically kill hogs or other large game, much less your cat, chickens, goats or other domestic or livestock animals. They are bred to corral and contain, or to catch and hold a threat; i.e., to "bully" it until their master arrives, or escapes and recalls the dog to safety.

Bandogges and other predecessors of American Buldogs were originally developed on medieval European farmyards. With no law enforcement or guns, with ruffians, scoundrels and wild beasts ever present, the Ancient World was dangerous. Children ranged many miles tending flocks, and managing unruly livestock with only their fearsome family farm dogs to protect and assist them. These dogs almost without fail will naturally distinguish between lambs to be protected and predators to be driven off or killed - a distinction clearly not prey driven.

Please enjoy the site. It's admittedly long-winded. We use it as a scrap book, for memories, articles and opinion statements wanting you to know who we are, and where your dog comes from. Some basic info follows for your convenience...

QUESTIONS:  Most questions are answered on the American Bulldogs & Bandogges FAQs page. Please glance through it before emailing. Feel free to email Blasco Family Bulldogs© by form or directly with any further questions or polite comments. If I'm busy you may wait a few days, but I will answer you.

DEPOSITS & WAITING LISTS:   We do not accept deposits for Bandogge puppies or American Bulldog puppies that are not yet born. We also do not maintain waiting lists. Such practices attempt to get money from you as fast as possible, preventing you from shopping around. Our typical process is to email Blasco Puppy Announcements to our email contacts as puppies become available.

CUSTOMERS:   If you intend to purchase any dog please read the Blasco Family Bulldogs© Policies & Procedures page. Email me if you require clarifications. When puppies are available on the American Bulldogs & Bandogge Puppies Available page, email us to begin the very simple approval and purchasing process.

COST OF PUPPIES: Generally both American Bulldog and Bandogge males are $2,000.00, females $1,800.00. Regarding Bandogges, prices for premium males or females may rarely be as high as $2,500.000, though never higher for any puppy.

COST OF TRAINED ADULTS: Trained adults are $7,000.00 to $10,000.00, depending upon characteristics of the dog and its training. Trained adults are only rarely available.

SHIPPING:  We currently ship throughout the Continental United States, Alaska and Canada for $500.00. Other destinations incur additional costs. We will not ship to any venue with quarantine requirements, or to any country where dog fighting, live animal baiting, or the eating of dogs is not explicitly illegal.

PROFESSIONAL PROCUREMENT & EVALUATIONS: If your family, police or security group or breeding program need dogs not from our yards, we do occasionally leverage our extensive contacts to provide professional procurement. We add 40% to the purchase price for professional procurement. We provide standard 30-day in-house evaluation before delivery. If you are purchasing elsewhere, we also offer pre-purchase photo/video evaluations of all the larger, protection oriented breeds for $200.00, but pics and videos must be high quality and show us precisely what we ask for.

PHONE CALLS:  We're on the north slope of Pikes Peak at over 9,000 feet. There's no cell service at the house and our landline is unreliable. We generally use email, so please don't send me call-back requests. We'll gladly speak by phone to intended buyers before you make a deposit. Just let me know that's your desire and we'll schedule a call.

EMAIL: I really do value your feedback. I'm happy to answer questions, and I answer all polite emails. That said, family and dogs keep me busy. I tend to answer emails in bursts every few days, sometimes taking as long as a week. I'm sorry about that. Nonetheless, please do email me by form or directly.

Regarding the dogs pictured, some dogs are no longer with us (whether having passed on, or been rehomed as adults), and we do own quite a few dogs not pictured on the site as well.

Below you'll find the first few photos of our family, and our dogs, to help you get to know both of us better. There's also more pics and useful bits of information in the Dog Profiles and Photos sections.

And hey, do you already own a Blasco dog?
