A Lifelong Passion Turned Legacy
Thompson Family Kennels LLC was born out of a lifelong passion for dogs and a deep desire to share the joy of well-bred, healthy puppies with families across the country. The journey began with a simple love for animals and a family tradition of breeding and caring for dogs, but it quickly grew into a dedicated business built on integrity, quality, and a genuine commitment to improving the lives of both dogs and the families who adopt them.
It all started with the founder, Raymond Thompson Jr. who grew up in a household where animals weren’t just pets—they were family members. From an early age, Raymond was surrounded by a variety of animals, and dogs in particular held a special place in their heart. The bond with their childhood dog, a loyal and loving family companion, inspired a passion for understanding dog breeds, training, and responsible breeding. As Ray grew older, the dream of running a kennel became clearer, but it wasn’t until they acquired their first American Bully that the idea of Thompson Family Kennels began to take shape.
The Journey to Exceptional Breeding Standards
After years of research, dedication, and working with trusted breeders, Raymond Thompson and family decided to focus on breeding XL American Bullies, known for their impressive build, gentle temperament, and loyalty. It was important to them not only to uphold the high standards of the breed but also to improve it by carefully selecting dogs with excellent genetics, health, and temperaments. But their vision didn’t stop with just breeding dogs—they wanted to create a business that was rooted in family values, integrity, and exceptional care for both the animals and their future owners.
In 2019, Thompson Family Kennels was officially established. It began as a small operation with a few dogs, but soon, the word spread about the quality of the puppies and the transparent, hands-on approach to breeding. The kennels quickly gained a reputation for producing healthy, socialized, and well-tempered puppies that would go on to become loyal companions in homes across the country. Each dog was treated with the utmost care and respect, from the moment they were born until they found their forever home.
Expanding Offerings, Upholding Values
As the demand for high-quality, well-bred dogs grew, Thompson Family Kennels expanded its offerings, adding different breeds, including the rare and beautiful Fluffy French Bulldog. The family continued to stay true to its mission: to provide not only exceptional dogs but also to educate and guide new puppy owners, ensuring that they had all the tools and knowledge necessary to raise happy, healthy pets.
Over the years, Thompson Family Kennels became a trusted name in the dog breeding community, known for its commitment to ethical breeding practices, superior customer service, and its deep love for the dogs it raised. What started as a small family endeavor turned into a thriving business, but at its heart, it has always remained a family-run operation, where the values of love, care, and dedication to the well-being of each puppy are at the forefront of everything they do.
Today, Thompson Family Kennels continues to grow, but the family remains committed to their founding principles. Whether it’s breeding top-tier XL American Bullies or the charming Fluffy French Bulldogs, the focus is always on creating healthy, happy puppies that will make wonderful additions to families. The story of Thompson Family Kennels is one of passion, persistence, and a deep love for dogs—a story that continues to unfold with every new litter and every happy home.
