On initial verision that went out to Primos, Jesse said something like, “So American Bully breeders say, if a dog is aggressive, it can’t be an American Bully,” and I said, “Yes, exactly.” I thought it was obvious this referred to registration, but apparently not, and I have updated the episode to clarify: an aggressive American Bully would still be an American Bully because breed isn’t determined by behavior but by lineage, but it would be disqualified for registration in the American Bully Kennel Club or any other legitmate kennel club. Apologies for the confusion.” —KH This is a public episode. If you’d like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.blockedandreported.org/subscribe
