A single-breed kennel of American Pit Bull Terriers (APBT) in Russia.
We are a team of owners, athletes, dog trainers, and passionate APBT enthusiasts. Our breeding goal is to produce healthy, energetic dogs with a stable nervous system, breed-standard appearance, and temperament—suitable for both sports training and an active lifestyle.
Our dogs not only excel in obedience and sports training but also become prize winners and champions in various canine disciplines, including agility, frisbee, nose work, and both light and heavy athletics.
The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is not a dog for everyone. Our training system is a clear example of how, in responsible hands, a Pit Bull can perform on par with other breeds.
We work with leading bloodlines from Europe and America. Our partners: GrimPits Kennel and Maroncellis Kennel. Our dogs are registered with ADBA, UKC, ABKC, and IKU.
This is all about Pit Bulls and everything around them—their beauty, harmony, and training. But most importantly, it’s about our deep love for them!
Our dogs are our pride!
Puppies
Our puppies are the result of careful breeding and selection. We seek owners who share our approach and are ready for a serious commitment. If you're interested, we'd be happy to discuss further collaboration.
Our kennel has an imported female from the Gods of the Cosmos Kennels and Russian dogs with bloodlines from this kennel. We also have two imported males from Del Manto Dogs (Brazil) and Real Deal Chocolates (USA), males with bloodlines from Gods of the Cosmos Kennels (USA), as well as dogs from Russian breeding lines.
A well-rounded approach is the key to successful training.
Obedience Standards
OKD (General Training Course) – National obedience standard.
OBEDIENCE – International obedience standard, the most challenging of all officially recognized standards by the International Canine Federation (FCI).
BH/VT – Companion dog. International standard evaluating a dog's obedience.
Nose Work
Nose Work is the "work with the nose" to search for specific scent samples. It is a universal canine discipline that dogs of any breed, age, or physical and mental condition can participate in.
In Russia, competitions are held under the following rules: • RKF (Russian Cynological Federation) • RANV (Russian Association of Nose Work)
Additionally, the competitions are divided into classes (0-3, veterans).
Track and Field Pentathlon (Athletic Multipurpose Event)
• High Jump with support on a vertical wall (Wall Jump)
• Long Jump
• High Jump without support (High Jump)
• Barrier Jump without support (Barrier Jump)
• Weighted Running (Towing)
• Treadmill Sprint
• A-frame
Agility
Agility is a competitive dog sport that involves navigating an obstacle course at high speed. The course includes jumps, tunnels, weave poles, and other challenges that test a dog's agility, obedience, and teamwork with its handler.
Both the dog and the handler actively participate—the dog performs the exercises, while the handler guides them using voice commands and gestures. This makes agility a team-based sport, where success depends on strong communication, training, and mutual understanding between the dog and owner.
Difficulty levels: A0, A1, A2, A3.
Water Rescue Service
Water Rescue Service is a practical and socially significant type of training. The primary goal of dogs trained in this discipline is to rescue drowning individuals and tow people who cannot reach the shore on their own.
Difficulty levels: SSV-A, SSV-B, SSV-C.
Protection Sports
ZKS – Guard and Protection Service, a national standard.
Mondioring is a training discipline that combines obedience, protection work, and tests of the dog's physical abilities.
Weight Pulling
Weight Pulling is a type of canine sport where a dog pulls a heavy load over a set distance. It is essentially powerlifting for dogs, showcasing their strength and endurance.
Dock Diving
Dock Diving is a competition where dogs compete in jumping into water from a special platform. The goal is to achieve the longest or highest jump, depending on the event format.
Canine Therapy
Canine therapy is a method of treatment and rehabilitation using specially trained dogs. It is applied in medical and social rehabilitation to improve mental and emotional capabilities, motor skills, and functions, as well as to aid in the social adaptation of children with special needs. Programs for blind and visually impaired children focus on development, socialization, and improving emotional well-being. A key aspect is tactile interaction with the dog, which undergoes specialized training and testing before working with individuals.
Dog Frisbee
Dog Frisbee is a popular canine sport where the owner and dog work as a team: the owner trains to throw the disc correctly, and the dog learns to catch it.
Frisbee Freestyle is a variation of this sport that combines elements of play and acrobatics. The goal is not only for the dog to catch the disc thrown by the handler but to do so in the most impressive and beautiful way possible. Dog owners aim to make their pets' performances visually stunning, constantly experimenting with throw height, angle, speed, and direction, and creating complex tricks.
Sled Dog Sport
Canicross is a sled dog sport discipline where a dog pulls a running athlete.
Bikejoring is a sport in which a dog, using special equipment, pulls a cyclist at speed. Both sports require strong teamwork between the dog and athlete, with proper training and equipment for safety and performance.
