Official Statement: APBT Born Kennel (Athens)
The following announcement clarifies the philosophy, operational standards, and ownership of APBT Born Kennel, under the sole ownership and responsibility of Xaris Tzilios.
1. Identity & Independence
APBT Born Kennel is based in Athens, Greece, and is an autonomous, personal project. We have no affiliation, partnership, or connection with any other kennel or individual not explicitly mentioned on our official pages. Our work is independent and dedicated to our own breeding program.
2. Dedication to Heritage (Gamebreed Bloodlines)
Our mission is the preservation of the authentic American Pit Bull Terrier heritage. We focus exclusively on historic and pure bloodlines (Eli, Bullyson, Mayday, Red Boy, Tants, Snooty, Tatonka, Indian), with the sole purpose of preventing the dilution of the breed’s true characteristics.
3. No to Puppymilling
We strictly distance ourselves from commercial breeding and mass production (puppymilling). Our breeding is highly selective. Our dogs are not sold randomly. Prospective owners undergo a strict screening process. We seek individuals with deep knowledge, respect, and responsibility toward these demanding and legendary lines.
4. Commitment to Quality
For us, quality and the preservation of the "DNA of legends" are non-negotiable priorities. We continue with respect for history, focusing only on the future of the breed through ethical and correct breeding practices.
Respectfully, Xaris Tzilios
APBT Born Kennel
