Last updated: 7/22/2025: If you're wanting to purchase a puppy, read the site, and then email Blasco Family Bulldogs© to promise immediate sending of your deposit. All Blasco dogs can be registered, and have controlled, pedigree'd bloodlines. Be advised that if what you are really wanting is an American Bulldog, they're coming in a few weeks or so, already born, just not old enough to be photographed yet. Any questions left unanswered are most likely already answered on the American Bulldogs & Bandogges FAQs page. If you are a serious buyer, you should also read the Policies & Procedures page in its entirety. Feel free to email Blasco Family Bulldogs© by form or directly with any further questions. |

Puppies' Parents Mom:
La Feroz Condesa Petra Notes on Mom:
Petra is so very sweet, and a very correct, though
smaller, Spanish Alano girl in red merl -- not brindle. Petra has that
perfect blend of strong natural watch dog instincts, but paired with
excellent self-control, a natural calm, and good people judgement. She
also loves to play, and snuggle, being a very affectionate, people-loving
girl.
Dad:
CGC Presa Farm's Tugarian ("Tug") Notes on Dad: Tug is one of the sweetest, most gentle, small-child-careful dogs we've ever owned. He is more than just a gentleman. Tug is a true breed ambassador, entirely trustworthy with everyone, big people, little people, infants, other dogs, cats, chickens, whatever. Tug is in fact a Certified AKC Canine Good Citizen. However, that is not to suggest Tug will not protect, or that he will not defend himself against a more outwardly aggressive dog. He'll fight off a rude dog, but only if he's forced to fight, and he'll enthusiastically protect his people without fail, as necessary. The thing with Tug is that he's so calm and confident, he's just at peace, nothing to prove, he's downright Zen-like. Tug has the absolutely perfect family protection dog temperament. He's a therapy dog with a handicapped kid, something similar to a mature camp counselor with an over-aggressive dog, but if you try to harm his people, Tug has a serious bite. He has a nice, deep bark at the door too.
THE PUPPIES... About the Litter Generally: These are family watchdogs more than suitable for protection training. There are TEN puppies available, seven boys and three girls. They are happy, healthy and friendly. They're all great with kids, and well socialized. They are very laid back, mellow dogs that just want to play. If you ever wanted a truly low key, relaxed, minimal threat display kind of protection dog for your family, here they are. *MEDICAL NOTICE: Three (3) puppies have herniated navals. A herniated naval is a minor visual imperfection, not an actual medical issue; i.e., they have a small lump where their belly button is. Mom just bit off a few of their umbilical cords a little too close, and in turn they healed with minor tummy hernias -- a small piece of gut just under the skin, but on the outside of the abdominal muscles -- what for a dog is an "outie" belly button. There is a very minor, optional cosmetic surgery to poke herniated navals back inward, typically with one to three stitches. It's not necessary. AVAILABLE SAVINGS: However, because you may wish to do that minor cosmetic surgery, each of the three with herniated navals are marked down in cost by a full $1,000 to cover what would, with most vets, only be a $500 cosmetic surgery. Again, impacted puppies are clearly marked and heavily rebated. Typology & Health: Beyond the three herniated navals, this is a gorgeous, very healthy litter of bandogges best called "Spanish Mastiffs," being made up 50/50 of the two ancient Spanish Mastiff breeds, the Spanish Alano developed on the Spanish Isle of Petra, and the Presa Canario developed in the Spanish Canary Islands. Further, to make them even more special, the merl gene in Spanish Alanos is very rare and there are some wildly exotic merl puppies among them. That and the fact that dad is a rare purebred Presa Canario to begin with, and these are probably some of the rarest Bandogges on earth at the moment. Some will look basically like Bullmastiffs of 200 years ago -- thick, stout, powerful, others will look like Spanish Alanos -- also thick and stout, and a few will look like Presa Canarios -- taller, leaner, more exotic in their faces. They are unusually intelligent as well, so sure to be very easy to train. While it is typical of both breeds to have ears and tails done, out of love for the dogs we chose not to dock ears or tails, but to leave them entirely natural. Besides, as anyone living in an apartment complex knows, the moment you have a dog with docked ears they're trying to call it a "Pitbull" and force you to surrender your dog, or apartment. Care Intervention: No little ones. Nobody needed special care. All are happy, healthy and thririving from day one, without interventions. High Elevation Lung Capacity: Blasco puppies also all have higher adapted lung capacity than most puppies - making for true athletes, if you wish. We're at over 9,000 feet in elevation so all of our puppies share this same advantage, being unusually long winded little brutes. It's why Olympians train in Colorado Springs, and our location is way higher into the clouds than Colorado Springs. A proper dog house and some straw are fine if you're wanting a dog that will spend most of its time outside. We hope that's not what you do. Our dogs make fantastic in-house pets, though they can endure a 24/7 outdoor lifestyle, if that's what you choose to do with your dog. Adult Size & Life Expectancy: Assuming good protein uptake, tender loving care, and meaningful muscle building exercise, the girls will most likely be in the 85 to 90 pound range, and the boys 115 to 130 pounds -- so big enough to stop a man, but small enough to not totally hog the bed or couch! Regarding life expectancy, assuming good protein uptake, exercise and good general health, 15 years is fairly likely. Temperament & Trainability: There are no overt markers for raised aggression or unusual dominance. They are all EXTRA sweet, mellow and self-controlled, and all already really love and enjoy calmer, self-controlled kids, and all are very smart, making for easy training, and years of deeply bonded relationship. Age & Date of Release: Born: May 14, 2025 the puppies' earliest release date is: Wednesday, August 6, 2025. As usual you're not going to see photographs of puppies with pink bows stuck to their heads, or snuggled with Teddy bears. The pics are for the sole purpose of showing their excellent structure, balance and active life vitality, and these pics do that, so please do not ask for more pics.
Male: $2,000 - Reference: Boy 1 SALE
STATUS/Notes: AVAILABLE.
200
years ago English Mastiffs commonly had a bit of black on their tails
matching their black masks -- and there it is, a recessive gene come
foreward. Calm confidence and enjoys kids.
Male: $2,000 - Reference: Boy 2 SALE
STATUS/Notes: AVAILABLE.
Calm,
very smart, and some of the most beautiful and exotic coloring you'll
ever see with black, gray, red and white all randomly splotched onto
the same dog, like a French impressionist painting.
Male: $1,000 - Reference: Boy 3 SALE
STATUS/Notes: AVAILABLE.
*MARKED DOWN FOR ABOVE DESCRIBED MEDICAL NOTICE. This is a very
calm, extra smart boy who likes to snuggle, and is extra gentle, even
for this very gentle litter. If anyone ever needed a true born therapy/hospice
dog, this is definitely the guy. Very, very calm -- even more than the
others. Very intuitive. Strong focus on all human interaction. And it
looks like the unique pink marking on the nose is going to stay there.
Male: $2,000 - Reference: Boy 4 SALE
STATUS/Notes: AVAILABLE.
More
than once I've seen this boy actually breaking up puppy fights between
siblings, just a little peace maker. As with the whole litter, very
calm and very smart, but with the most awesome coloring.
Male: $2,000 - Reference: Boy 5 SALE
STATUS/Notes: AVAILABLE.
He's basically a carbon copy of his dad, Tug, so by his looks, a letter-perfect
Presa Canario. He's a gorgeous, very dark mahogany brindle -- so dark
that the stripes aren't always evident, making him almost look like
a black dog. He's also very sweet and quiet, and shows no desire to
bully his littermates, just a nice, chill guy.
Male: $2,000 - Reference: Boy 6 SALE
STATUS/Notes: AVAILABLE.
This
is personally my favorite male -- not that he's the "top male"
(I don't even have an opinion on that with this litter they are all
so close in temperament and size). What I like is the crazy coloring
paired with his deep, soulful way of looking at you. He really is something
else, just so intuitive. Most dogs are empaths. You could say he's an
empath even among empathic dogs.
Male: $1,000 - Reference: Boy 7 SALE STATUS/Notes: AVAILABLE. *MARKED DOWN FOR ABOVE DESCRIBED MEDICAL NOTICE. Honestly I don't think the pics do this guy's beautiful red brindle coat credit. It's a lighter brindle, very red in the sunlight, very, very pretty. He's also a very chill guy who very much prefers the company of women and children. All male Mastiff-bred dogs tend to be somewhat like that, mother hens, but with this guy, if you're a stay-at-home mom or grandmother with kids, and you want a big interactive shadow to protect you, but maybe you sorta secretly worry about your experience level with big dogs, here's your guy. He LOVES women, very much WANTS a "forever mom." He'll be fine with dad too, but trust me when I tell you, this is going to be mom's dog.
Female: $1,700.00 - Reference: Girl 1 SALE
STATUS/Notes: AVAILABLE.
Regarding
her look, she is basically the twin of Boy #1, just with more feminine
features as a female. However, this girl isa born family watchdog, always
side-by-side with the boys when they go on alert and rush to investigate
new sounds and people.
Female: $1,700.00 - Reference: Girl 2 SALE
STATUS/Notes: AVAILABLE.
Her look and her very gentle, but playful personality make her more
like her mom, Petra, than any of them, and she is also, oddly, most
often found near her mom as if she's trying to be most like Petra.
Female: $1,700.00 - Reference: Girl 3 SALE
STATUS/Notes: AVAILABLE.
If we were keeping a female to breed, or wanting to send a girl into
the dogshow circuit, this would be her. She's a perfect blend of mom
and dad, has perfect structure, and balance, and a watchful personality
more like a male.

A $200.00 nonrefundable, nontransferable deposit will hold your puppy. To secure your pick, speak up NOW via email and promise to send your deposit right away here: Email Blasco Family Bulldogs©. You will receive payment options and instructions for making your deposit. It is important to get your deposits in now, or your pick may be lost. Total cost of females are $1,700.00, males $2,000.00, unless otherwise noted. Deposits come off the total cost of the dog. While we will accept your personal checks, official checks, Money Orders, and also Zelle, ONLY CASH will be accepted for final payment at day of pick up. All shipping by air is currently impossible. We used to use United Airlines United Pet Safe exclusively, but they no longer ship the "bully" breeds at all. As far as we know, nobody else does either. Also forget the idea of bringing a Blasco puppy into the cabin of a plane with you as a "comfort pet" or similar. Our puppies are just too big for that. And we will NEVER trust a commercial ground shipper with our dogs. You shouldn't either. This means that you must either pick your dog up in person, or pay the much higher rate for curbside delivery of $.55 per mile there and back; i.e., if you are located 1,000 miles from Divide, Colorado, that is a 2,000 mile trip for us at $.55 per mile = $1,100.00 (on top of the cost of the dog) to have us deliver your dog in person. Sorry. It's an airlines thing and we hate it too. This of course also means that these litters are only being offered to the lower 48 states - no international deliveries, no Alaska or Hawaii deliveries. Again, sorry. Call United Pet Safe and complain - letting them know we NEED that program. Puppies will be released to their new homes or shipped/delivered on or about 12 weeks of age. We keep them that long on purpose. This is a best practice issue for the puppies themselves as well as a service to you, their new owners. If you'd like to know why it matters, I'll recommend my own article here: Dog Temperament, Early Pack Socialization & Bite Inhibition All Blasco dogs have registered bloodlines accurately documented by pedigree. Purebred American Bulldog puppies receive National Kennel Club (NKC) registrations and Bandogge puppies -- IF we register them, receive International Designer Canine Registry (IDCR) registrations, but we don't always bother to register Bandogges. If you want that, let us know and we'll handle it. You should also know that the IDCR, as well as the United Kennel Club (UKC), the American Bully Kennel Club (ABKC), the American Bulldog Association (ABA), and the original American Bulldog registry, the Animal Research Foundation (ARF), all accept NKC registrations to register American Bulldogs. In other words, any NKC registered American Bulldog can also automatically be registered six times over, NKC, IDCR, UKC, ABKC, ABA and ARF, and compete with full pedigreed rights in all sanctioned events of all six registries throughout the world. If you're wanting to fill a wall with silver and gold foiled registrations for your dog and brag that it's registered six times over, or actually compete in the events of multiple registries, go for it. |
