State your kennel name, and where your kennel is located.
Hi my name is Alberto Alvarez, and my kennel, Imperial Kennels, is located in Hollywood ,Florida.
What type of dogs do you breed, and what inspired you to get involved with that particular breed?
I breed pocket bully’s. What inspired me, was their companionship, athleticism , and loyalty.
What type of diet do you keep your dogs on throughout the year?
The diet my dogs stay on throughout the year, is kibble based food, called diamond extreme athlete.
What is your favorite bloodline?
My favorite bloodlines would have to be Iron Bear Buddha, Grey fox, Gottiline, and Razor’s edge because of their overall look and quality.
Do you currently show any of your dogs?
We currently do not show any of our dogs. We prefer to focus on breeding and producing high quality dogs.
What advice do you have for upcoming breeders?
My advice for upcoming breeders is to keep it clean, have patience and dedication, and never forget to set time aside to work with your dog.
What is the most difficult thing for people in the bully game to overcome?
I would say the hardest thing not only in the bully world, but in all dog breeds, is losing a loyal companion after years of having him or her around.
How do you think they can overcome this thing?
I would say trying to remember all the good times and the memories that will last a lifetime.
Who do you look up to in the bully game, and why?
I have a lot of respect for breeders out there, but I can’t really say I look up to many of them, because i’ve been around longer than most. I’ve been doing this for the past 30 years, so I try to set my own goals.
Tell us about one of your most memorable moment in 2015.
My most memorable moment of 2015 would have to be one afternoon when I was at the park, and a family with a disabled child came up to the dogs, and you could almost instantly see the way the dogs brighten her day, and filled her heart with happiness.
Describe how you would want things in the bully community to be in 10 years from now.
10 years from now I would love to see more families coming around. Also I would like to see all the states and countries that have banned these dogs, to lift the bans, and allow people to have these dogs. They are truly an amazing breed.
What separates your kennel from the competition?
What separates me from most kennels, is the temperament, and quality that my dogs possess.
What motto do you live by?
The motto I live by is be humble, be faithful, and be honest.
What do you think of Bully Girl Magazine?
I am very pleased with this magazine, and I’m happy to see how far they’ve come. I appreciate all the things they do for this great breed, and I can’t thank them enough for this great opportunity.
