State your name, your kennel, and where your kennel is located.
My name is Vivien Szépe. My boyfriend Marcell Mózes and I are the owners of Dazzling Bully. We live in Hungary, Europe.
What type of dogs do you breed, and what inspired you to get involved with that particular breed?
We breed American Bullies. Our kennel is fairly new. We bought our first Bully in 2017. We looked for special breed of dog that wasn’t seen every day on the street. Our search led us to the American Bully.
From that moment on this breed has played a decisive role in our lives. American Bullies are friendly, kind, loving souls wrapped inside a brutally muscular, strong body. They make us happy. With them our days will be colorful.
In your opinion, what are the characteristics of a responsible dog breeder?
The responsible breeder keeps in mind everything related to the dog. They should provide a good environment for the dogs and take care of them. But most importantly, responsible breeders give your dogs love.
We place great emphasis on communication, and always know the condition of our dogs at Dazzling Bully. We are always at the disposal of the owners, be it small or serious questions and problems.
What type of diet do you keep your dogs on throughout the year?
We believe that providing a quality meal is essential, which is often accompanied by beef and eggs. We also keep in mind the protection of the joints. Therefore, from the very beginning, we provide various cures.
What is your favorite bloodline?
Our favorite bloodline is the Gran Dali line. We are very respectful of Vipeons work. In addition, we are open to other bloodlines, and have plans to use other blood lines in the near future.
Does Dazzling Bully currently show any dogs?
Yes, of course. We are very proud of our dogs. Whenever possible, we travel to bully shows and show our dogs.
What advice do you have for any upcoming breeders?
First of all, you should look carefully at the characteristics and needs of the breed. Breeding is very time consuming, so think about that capacity. When choosing a dog, it is very important to consider where it comes from.
The most important thing is that the purpose of breeding is not to create money. It’s to get to know the miracles, such as the birth, uplifting of the puppies, and the recognition.
What do you think, is the most difficult thing for people in the bully game to overcome?
I think the beginning is very difficult. It’s very hard work to introduce a new kennel to people, or to create the thing that makes your kennel unique. In addition, we must make responsible decisions.
How do you think they can overcome this thing?
The most important thing is perseverance. We shouldn’t give up if we encounter an obstacle. Dare to dream big!
Who do you look up to in the bully game, and why?
Our exemplar is Moonshine Bullies – Hungary. The owner of this kennel is Anita Gáti. Anita’s admirable work can serve as an example for the world. With a lot of work and perseverance, Moonshine Bullies has become world-class.
Tell us about one of your main goals for the year 2019.
We want to participate in as many exhibitions as possible. As I said, we would like to bring another bloodline to our kennel.
Describe how you would want things, in the bully breed Community, to be 10 years from now.
I think we are on the right track. Of course we want to continue what we started. The breed is constantly changing. However, I want see a lot more of the original American Bully.
What separates Dazzling Bully from the competition?
American Bullies play a central role in our lives. For us, the health of our dogs is a priority, and we will do our best to do this.
What other hobbies or interests do you take part in?
Sports and our health are important to us. We love hiking.
What do you think of Bully Girl Magazine?
I am very thankful to Bully Girl Magazine for giving us the opportunity to present our kennel. I think every start is difficult. The magazine is a great help, because by publishing an interview, breeders can get new information from each other.
