Jethrow
Cryptic's Mud On Da Tires
This handsome boy is a "teenage" American Bully, classic in size and full of joy and happiness - just how we like them! Jethrow is easygoing, happy, and simply thrilled to be included. While we didn’t breed him ourselves, he comes from a trusted local breeder and friend at Cryptic Bullies (Edmonton, AB), and we will be training and trialing him here until the right forever home comes along. He has been a delight so far!

PARENTS
NW MBIS ABKC-GRCH BRC-GRCH ICBR-CH My Boy Bleau
x Oil City Bullies Malice
Jethrow and Sunny come from truly wonderful parents. Their sire, NW MBIS ABKC-GRCH BRC-GRCH ICBR-CH My Boy Bleau, is a nationally recognized winner and dual Grand Champion known for his outstanding structure, temperament, and ring presence. He’s completed his preliminary cardiac evaluation and continues to represent the breed beautifully in and out of the show ring.
Their dam, Oil City Bullies Malice, is sound as they come and holds her OFA CHIC certification, with the following health results:
-
OFA Advanced Cardiac Echo – Normal
-
OFA Elbows – Normal
-
OFA Hips – Excellent
-
OFA Patella – Normal
Together, Bleau and Malice combine proven conformation, health, and temperament - and it’s no surprise they’ve produced such lovely, well-balanced pups!
PERSONALITY TRAITS
& Appearance
Jethrow is the definition of a lovable goofball. He’s sweet, silly, and playful, with a big personality that doesn’t seem to match his 65 lbs - in his mind, he’s a tiny lapdog! He’s incredibly people-oriented and loves being close; if you let him, he’ll climb right into your lap (or even on top of your head) just to be near you. I think Jethrow's definition of personal space would be "what's mine is yours". While he enjoys affection, Jethrow also has a nice touch of independence. He’s happy to entertain himself with toys and confidently works through new or “spooky” situations without much hesitation. He appreciates reassurance when faced with new or "spooky" things, but doesn’t need or rely on it. He’s very food motivated, which makes training an absolute joy, and we’re already seeing his eager-to-please nature shine through. Jethrow has been such a fun, easy boy to work with - we can’t wait to see what the future holds for him!
Standing around 17.5” at the shoulder, Jethrow is a beautifully put-together fawn American Bully with excellent structure. He has a clean scissor bite, strong bone, and balanced front and rear angles that give him a lovely overall shape. His topline is truly wonderful and strong, and he has that natural "look at me" presence. Though he’s still in his “gangly teenager” stage, he’s already a very handsome boy. He may not need to step into a show ring, but he certainly has everything it takes to be competitive in one!

TRAINING
& Foundation Work
Jethrow is currently working through a well-rounded foundation program focused on confidence, manners, and physical development. He is mastering core obedience skills including sit, down, stand, stay, leash manners, as well as body awareness and conditioning exercises. He receives regular public exposure through outings to pet-friendly stores, training classes, and dog events when available.
He is kennel trained, house trained, and comfortable crating in vehicles and busy environments. We are continuing to develop calm, settled behavior in stimulating spaces, as well as polite home manners - including waiting for permission before getting on furniture or climbing onto people. His love for humans knows no bounds, and he is always eager to be as close as possible.
Jethrow attends weekly training classes where the focus is calm behavior around other dogs and humans. Trick training has just begun, and future goals include conformation, rally obedience, weight pull, slat mill, and other performance foundations.
NEW HOME
Requirements & Expectations
SPORTS & TITLING: Jethrow is a simple guy and doesn't have a serious desire to be involved in sports. If his owner would like to dabble, I'm sure he would be more than willing to give it a go, but there is no requirement for his future home to do competitive sports with him. He is content hanging out in the house/yard and doing normal daily things with his owners.
RESPONSIBLE OWNERSHIP: Jethrow is an intact male bull breed dog and though he is quite easy going and happy, he needs to be kept under physical control at all times. This includes but is not limited to having a secure backyard (or system in place to prevent accidents), never leaving him in the backyard unattended, keeping him on leash or long line when exploring in high traffic areas, etc. He is not an escape artist, nor is he hard to manage, but having an intact male bull breed dog comes with extra responsibilities.
TRAINING & PHYSICAL EXERCISE: Jethrow's ideal new home will be happy to keep up on his public and home manners and will see value in keeping him in good physical condition. This includes but is not limited to feeding a good diet, participating in safe physical exercises, and occasionally enrolling in group training classes to brush up on skills if needed.
CONTRACT: Jethrow is available on a pet home contract (no breeding) or a co-ownership agreement (breeding rights to be discussed) to the right person. While has lovely qualities that are worth holding onto for breeding, our primary goal is finding him a wonderful home where he will be loved unconditionally.
VET CARE & HEALTH MANAGEMENT: It is really important to us that Jethrow's owners stay on top of maintaining his health, and have a plan on how to manage an emergency if one should ever pop up whether that be pet insurance or a savings account. He is currently covered by Trupanion Insurance, which can be transferred to his new family.

Tito is a total love bug with his humans and regularly invades our space demanding attention or moral support while he plays with his toys and "shows us" what he's doing. He reminds me a lot of Woodsie this way - he wants you to be included in whatever he is doing and is almost always within arms reach as you move throughout the house doing chores. Tito is a free spirit that enjoys exploring his environment but most importantly, loves to roll everywhere. Whether he is playing with a toy, out for a walk, or taking a break...chances are, you will find him rolling around on the ground. He LOVES playing with his toys and rubber squishy balls definitely seem to be his toy of choice but he's not picky. He will do just about anything for a good ChuckIt ball and will play fetch for as long as you let him. Tito does not seem to have separation anxiety, he settles wonderfully in his crate and has good impulse control with food and treats. He is a willing participant in care tasks such as bathing, teeth brushing, ear cleaning and nail trims.
Tito, much like his parents, has a lot of enthusiasm but is not overly motivated to be a high level sport dog. However, if you are wanting a companion that is happy to participate and dabble in things, he is your guy! He has done formal training in rally obedience, weight pull, and scent detection. He was exposed to gerbils for barn hunt and did not show much interest as he really has no prey drive or desire to find/chase small animals - though I'm sure we could teach him to alert on the odor for treats if his owner has a strong desire to be involved in it. We will continue to work on life skills and sporty foundations with him as long as we have him, with a strong focus on rally obedience, weight pull and scent detection.
He keeps us laughing constantly with his silly "big head, no thoughts" antics and we have no doubt that his new home will love him as much as we do. He is a total pleasure to have in the home and a super easy guy to keep happy - you bring the activity and he will bring the enthusiasm!
Tito is a beautiful mix of both of his parents. He has great bone, a robust chest, well set shoulders, and a pretty rear all wrapped up in a nice yellow package (correct name for his colour is "Blue Fawn")! He has a beautiful white chest and then he just has a light sprinkle of white on his nose and tips of his toes.
