State your name, and where your kennel is located.
My name is Francisco Romero, owner of Team Shrek Bullyz. Our kennel is located in Long Island, NY.
What type of dogs do you breed, and what inspired you to get involved with that particular breed?
We breed American Bully’s, and my Partner Chico is starting up our Shorty Bull chapter in Queens, NY. I’ve always had love for the Bully breeds.
What type of diet do you keep your dogs on throughout the year?
I mostly feed my dogs dry kibbles. But before a show, I’ll introduce raw chicken.
What is your favorite bloodline?
My favorite bloodlines are Razors Edge and Gotti.
Do you currently show, any of your dogs?
I’m currently showing our foundation stud Shrek. He’s out of GrCh Beastro x Bako Bullyz Tsunami. He’s 2 wins away from an ABKC Championship.
What advice do you have for any upcoming breeders?
My main advice would be to stick to your vision and breed for yourself.
What do you think, is the most difficult thing for people in the bully game to overcome?
I think one of the most difficult things to overcome is losing a foundation dog. I personally lost my foundation female Foxy Brown back in November of 2015.
How do you think they can overcome this thing?
Just take a step back, and re-evaluate in what direction you want to continue to carry your program.
Who do you look up to in the bully game, and why?
To be honest I really don’t look up to anyone in particular. I have the upmost respect for a lot of breeders and kennels out there.
Tell us about one of your most memorable moments in 2015.
I finally have a partner that shares my vision and supports me in the betterment of our kennel.
Describe how you would want things, in the bully Commuity, to be 10 years from now.
I would like to see equality, less politics and less favoritism.
What separates your kennel from the competition?
I wouldn’t say separates, but we are very united and family oriented.
What other hobbies or interests do you take part in?
Riding motorcycles with my family and club, “Street Supremacy”.
What motto do you live by?
Always remain humble, no matter how successful you become.
What do you think of Bully Girl Magazine?
I think Bully Girl Magazine is great for the Bully Community. I like that fact that they don’t only interview big name kennels, but give us small family kennels an opportunity to show people that we also have quality bullies. Much love and respect to them.
