Maple is an outstanding young female who is taking in both her parents steps in the show ring.
At 9 months she won 3X 3 Best in Show Standard Puppy, earning her NKC Jr CH. UKC Premiers, she earned a Best in Breed amongst incredible competition, finishing her CH in style. At 12 months, she earned 2 Best Females (being beat by Littermate and half brother) making her a NKC Champion. She went on to finish her NKC Grand title in April 2024 and in June 2024, she earned 2 Gr CH class wins against our Dio. In August 2025, she took a UKC CH class win against our Bolt and Legacy as well as a Guardian Group 1st. Then won a Guardian Specialty in Tennessee as Best in Show against some really nice competition and took Best in Breed the same weekend in the NKC show!
Maple is super friendly, crazy prey drive, confident and outgoing. She is super correct and in a smaller athletic muscular package. Maple was passed off to my son at 9 years old as his dog, and is often handed to other handlers at shows quite comfortably when I have more dogs than handlers and does so with easy. She is super friendly, outgoing, and ridiculously fun and athletic.

Legacy is an outstanding 24", 78 lb fit female with plenty of size and good all around type, and moves like a dream. She has a very forward, confident outgoing nature yet with excellent handler focus and desire to work. Her prey and defensive drives in work are very clear.
Legacy earned 2 Best in Show Puppies and finished her Jr CH by 4 months old. At 12 months she took a Best in Show under Jukka Autio earning her CH. October 2023 she earned a Best in Breed and 3 Champion class wins in heavy competition, plus additional CH win in April 2024, and earned her final win in August 2025. In UKC she comfortably finished her CH in 2024 and in September 2025 just 15 weeks post puppies, she rocked a huge UKC event taking 4 of 6 Best in Breed wins and a group placement with a lot of bulldogs and guardians. All this time being handled by a variety of handlers as I was handling Bolt.

NKC Supreme Grand Champion, #3 Dog of the Year 2019. OFA Good Hips. Normal Elbows/Cardiac. Clear ICH/NCL/HUU. 04/21/2018
Roper Aurora of Acadia is a breeder's dream with a list of top show and working dogs around the world inclusive of our Maple & Legacy, and Ragnar & Quinn whom I may incorporate into the program in the future. She was out of a co production breeding with Sandhill Kennels in SC, USA. An exceptional female with very outgoing and friendly temperament, and isn't phased by anything. She has extremely high prey drive, a desire to work, excellent type, bone and muscle, and threw some absolutely stunning progeny.

Roper Fireball Shot is the dam of our Delta and Grand Champion and Nationals & Top 10 Winner, Khione owned by Kellers. She is a big female with a boat load of bone and from an early age, an adult front end. She is an 80 lb lbs dog with good prey drive, super nerve, with a great off switch, very intelligent and a thinker. She is very good around other dogs, and we transitioned from PSA style training to a new method in Schutzhund after 1.5 years of age, and she is definitely a dog who missed her opportunity in the working field, it wasn't for any other reason due to personal changes and setbacks, age of breeding and upcoming young dogs to focus on. She won a Best in Show and my son handled her in the CH ring at ease...she is just an all around pleasure of a dog to own! She has retired after 3 stunning litters out of Blue (January 2023 and December 2024), and Dio (October 2023). I'm thoroughly enjoying watching her progeny grow up, work, rock the show ring and go on to do great things with her owners.

Roper Delta's On Fire lives in co own close by, and while she has passed all our health tests with flying colours, at this time we have no plans to use her in the program. She has beautiful pigment, full dentition and a reverse scissor bite. She oozes drive, with no dog aggression and is quite outgoing and social. She won 4 Best in Show Puppy over 2 shows and became a Junior Champion in 2023. Pictured at 14 months. She later finished her UKC Champion at a big well attended UKC event locally. She is one minor away from her NKC CH.

Roper Sadie Went Splat is the dam of Dio & Drama. She's big, moves like a cat, has huge teeth, phenomenol conformation with boat loads of working drive. She produced Dio, Rain, Holley & her final litter with Marvelous Brandon Stark. She's now living the dream in a companion home.

Roper Victorious Isabelle is the Dam of our Fireball & Sobek, as well as Apollo (Keller ABs) & Ryker (owned by Terri). She is a the extreme combination of her mom and dad. Boatloads of prey and defense drive. She lives in an apartment, but gets worked and exercised daily. She's not for the faint of heart, and shows plenty of potential in work. She is smaller than her littermate Sadie, in the very fit muscular 66 lb female, but very well put together. She achieved her 6 mile AD just 12 weeks post whelp.

Roper Phoebe of Gunslinger was produced by Gunslinger Kennels in NC, USA. Dam to Blue, Sadie & Isabelle. She is one high prey drive girl, who seems to be a natural when it comes to critter control at home and doing hog catchwork, with a nice offswitch in the house. She caught her first coon at 8 months, slammed her first hog at 10 months and hasn't looked back. Just shy of 3, she was involved in catching her first 162 lb boar in the woods with only the aid of one other catchdog. And at almost 9, she was back out hunting again in some terrible conditions...she still has the heart for the job and the stamina to do so! She lived a health life of 12 years!

Roper Sophie was an 80 lb 23.5" female, and is still doing well going on her 13th birthday. A very outgoing natured dog, with a tonne of confidence and plenty of drive. She is a UKC Conformation Champion, and has excelled upon introduction to lurecoursing, bitework training and a weightpull harness. She is the dam to Gr CH Skully and Matt Howard's Gr CH Mickey. Still going strong going onto her 13th birthday.

Roper Quick N Clean of CAB was my first bulldog. At 5, we started learning protection and she earned her GDT (Guard Dog Test). Lexus loved lurecourse, learned to catch hogs and loved protection work. I miss sadly lost her due to crossing the road and being hit by a car. Since then, we implemented Dogwatch Hidden Fence system to keep everyone safe.
