THE DUARTES are XL bully breeders hailing from California. Parents Wayne and Johanna share their home with their three kids; Sherlene, Selena and Samuel, as well as their beloved breeding bullies; Hussle, Choko and Athena. They pride themselves on being a family focused breeder and their business social media pages are plastered with photos and videos of their tiny children interacting with their large, powerful dogs. Wayne admits: “bullies are very strong, and in the hands of the wrong person just like any dog they can do damage," but asserts that his own dogs are harmless. The family have encountered a lot of judgement online with people saying bullies are “dangerous animals bred to kill” and “I wouldn’t trust one like that around my kids for all the tea in China”. Wayne responds: “I trust my dog to take care of my kid more than I would a human being," and expresses his controversial theory that many of the XL bully attacks that make the news are “probably not pure breed bullies, it’s probably just a mix”. With the recent UK breed ban hot on everyone's minds, the family worry about the future of the breed and advocate for keeping it legal. They’ve already convinced Wayne’s dad who was initially sceptical, and the Duartes won’t stop trying to persuade the masses that the bully breed are really just gentle giants.
