Today we’d like to introduce you to Nick and Alexis Landry.
Nick and Alexis, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Landry Gang Kennels began by our simple love for dogs! We started with one dog, which soon became 4.
Our neighbor actually called animal control on us for “illegal breeding” which at the time all of our animals were spayed and neutered. Which made the situation hysterical to both me and the animal control officer. Turns out the neighbor just hates our specific dog breed. XL BULLY!!!
As they are stereotyped right along with pit bulls. And that is what sparked our desire to open a kennel service and begin breeding. To help end the stereotype of the dogs themselves being bad and help shed light on the fact that it is the breeders not the breed!!! Thus, LANDRY GANG KENNELS was born!!!
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
I would say our biggest obstacle along the way was the challenge it is to truly breed a dog responsibly. You can’t just let two dogs’ mate and call it a day. That is irresponsible breeding at its finest.
During our first litter, our Dam (female) actually went into labor for 30 hours!!! She had 3 puppies stuck in the birth canal, which can cause extreme discomfort and eventually death of the mother. She needed to be rushed for an emergency fetal extraction. Luckily, we were able to save her and get the last remaining 3 puppies out, but unfortunately, they were still born so a litter of 10 dropped down to 7 in a matter of minutes! It was hard but it’s the harsh reality of dog breeding.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
We specialize in the breeding and sale of pure breed purple ribbon XL BULLY’S. We do however accept other breeds to be represented by Landry Gang Kennels, just at this time we only breed XL BULLY’S. We provide monthly newsletters highlighting dog shows and events in the surrounding areas as well as fun merchandise for you and your pet upon signing up for Landry Gang Kennels. We are a local business who prides itself in raising and breeding dogs who end the stereotype of certain breeds. Who are described as vicious, untamable, scary, or dangerous. We show that these dogs are product of their environment and so long as they are cared for, treated well, and loved they will only offer the same in return!!!
Who else deserves credit in your story?
My husband and I actually built the business from ground up. But we had much support from family and friends along the way!!! Shout out to Funky Town Print Shop for our merchandise!!!
