Welcome to BADOG, Inc.! A Multi-faceted company founded in 2008 by Mario “Rio Jones” Johnson. Servicing the bully community, our business categories are inspired by the love for our dogs and needs within the community. Building a global brand through the creation of the highest quality dogs, clothing and entertainment; BADOG, Inc. has paved a way for many bully fanciers and has helped shape the American Bully culture as a whole since 2010. We are one of few of the trend setting American Bully kennels in the world.
“BADOG” was originally created as an acronym to have many meanings, one being “Born A Descendant Of Greatness”, but the word has become much more than just an acronym, it has become a way of life. BADOG, Inc. coined the phrase “Bred Different” in 2018 via United States Patent and Trademark Office to distinguish our style and quality from all other businesses within the canine industry. We strive to continue innovating and remaining a model of consistency
Our experience dwells not solely within the time of our existence, but also within the work exerted throughout our existence. Our bloodline was strategically built from scratch, with dogs that have never been used by any breeder/kennel outside of ours, making our bloodline rare and exclusive. We only register our American Bullies with the Original Bully Kennel Club. Our BADOGS will not only help elevate your kennel higher than it already is, but you will assist in opening up an EXTREMELY TIGHT genepool within the American Bully breed.
Rio Jones was raised around dogs and dog breeding his entire life and often says “I can’t remember a time I didn’t have a dog as a kid”. He began breeding American Bullies in 2010 (Prior to 2010 he owned and bred American Pitbull Terriers, Labrador Retrievers and Chihuahuas, and owned Rottweilers, German Shepherds and Mastiffs. ). After purchasing an American Bully upon his return from deployment to Iraq, Rio really fell in love with the breed and the community and the American Bully Industry, and knew he would own bullies for the rest of his life.
A few years into his American Bully breeding career, Rio realized the breed was missing a ton of authenticity due to paper-hanging (practice of falsifying the documents that prove a dog’s lineage), and established the “Foundation Bully®” in 2014. see http://www.theobkc.com/Foundation-bully. Since its inception, the Foundation American Bully and Foundation Exotic Bully has successfully spread like an epidemic all over the globe, with the goal of helping to clean up the breed and create an atmosphere of honor amongst true bully enthusiasts.
Building a distinguished and respectable reputation throughout the American Bully community over the past decade by conducting solid business, and matching his actions with his words, Rio has gained the trust and admiration of the more tenured and valued breeders. In turn learning the true needs and desires of real dogmen, which has been the foundation of the creation of every aspect of the MEGA-COMPANY, BADOG, Inc.
We are BRED DIFFERENT!
