Ashley, there is a breeder of AST's and APBT's (both UKC and ADBA registered) based out of B.C. whose website I have looked over quite closely and am thoroughly impressed with. Their dogs are thoroughly health tested and proven - they are active in Weight Pull, Conformation Showing, Agility, Dock Diving, Obedience, as well as finding it very important to get all our dogs the CGN (Canine Good Neighbor) title. They DNA profile all dogs and health screen as well (OFA/PennHip Hips, Ataxia, OFA Cardiac, OFA Patellas, as well as CERF eye clearance and they are VERY picky about who gets their pups. They look to be the best type of breeder around, at least judging from the website.

Maybe one day (likely way in the future) I might consider getting a pup from them. Anyway, you might want to contact this breeder with any further questions you may have as it sounds like they would be impressed with someone like you who wants to learn all they can. And they would be right on top of whatever shows and events in BC and likely in Alberta too. Their site is Flatlands Home - Flatlands Kennels .
