01 · The story

Small batch.
Big dogs.

Ryehaus Bullies is a Texas-based XL American Bulldog kennel. Named after Rye — our foundation female, a chocolate Tri merle — and a long-standing love of rye bourbon. The two share a chocolate color, a slow-built character, and a tendency to be misjudged by people who don't know better.

We treat the kennel the way a small distillery treats a single barrel: limited, considered, signed, dated. Every dog is a release.

02 · Foundation

Meet Rye.

Born August 21, 2025, in Texas. Co-owned with Jason Reed of DTX Bullies. Chocolate Tri merle — one of the rarest and most-requested colorations in the breed. 95 pounds at seven months. Still aging. We're shooting for the championship circuit; she has the structure for it and the temperament to handle the room.

03 · The pedigree

Bred deliberately.

Rye is the product of a careful MHB Pluto × DTX Mega pairing — two dogs chosen for structure, temperament, and color. Her chocolate Tri merle traces to her sire's lilac line; her frame and presence come from both sides.

Bottling notes.

We don't run sale ads. Litters are limited, dated, and announced when ready. Buyers are screened the way a distillery screens an allocation: who you are, where the dog is going, and whether the home matches the dog. If that sounds like more friction than you wanted, we're not your kennel.

To be notified when the next release goes out, follow on Instagram. Litter announcements drop there first, before they go anywhere else.
