I brought Anya into my life a little over 11 years ago. She was puppy B (purple collar) birthed by Big Con and Star. I cannot even imagine my life without her being with me. She has been my best friend and the favorite of anyone in my family for as long as I can remember. I'm am a retired US Army combat NCO who has done it all. I got Anya shortly after my 2006 deployment to Iraq (Taji, about 20 miles outside Baghdad). Had PTSD and didn't even know it yet. Even though I continued to perform at the top of excellence in the military, something had changed inside me that made me guarded and isolate. It was Anya who has helped me through these toughest times (depression, anxiety attacks, keeping my cool, divorce, etc). We did puppy kindergarten, basic obedience, and intermediate, plus a lot of different dog parks. She was always top of her class and a favorite of instructors. Learned all verbal and hand commands with ease. Ended up utilizing her as a service dog, and every where we went people asked so many questions because they were so impressed with her incredible beauty, size, musculature, and presence, but at the same time comprehend how she could be so calm, loving, and friendly. She loves children (slightly protective, but very gentle). She has been my favorite blessing (still is) and I cannot convey enough how thankful I am to Anchor Chain and your family. She has changed my life in such a good way and I am blessed to have her in my life. Got lots of early to now pics (puppy to a little grey in the face), if you want any. She has been spoiled with the best (and deserves every bit of it) and pampered, and is still in excellent health. Know I should have wrote you through the years, quite a few times, but you know how life is. ..... Reason I'm contacting you (besides to tell about Anya) is because I know I want another pup. Done lots of research and even though lots of good kennels/breeders, I just can't come away from the thought of another like Anya. Warmest regards to you and your family. Keep doing what you do because you change lives. Hope to be in contact soon.

We just wanted to send you a photo of Cayenne playing in the snow. It’s hard to believe she’s only four months old. She is extremely smart and spends most days laying next to our wood pellet stove. Cayenne is very energetic and enjoys walking on our treadmill. The first week we brought her home I put her on the treadmill so she could “burn off some steam”. Now we can’t keep her off of it. She tries to get on the treadmill while were running on it. It’s hilarious to watch. Cayenne is “house broke” and will go to the door when she wants to go outside. We have taught her to sit, stay, give high fives and come when called. We are very pleased with our purchase. Everywhere we go people always ask “Where did you get your dog”. We are always happy to give Anchor Chain Kennels lots of free advertisement. Thank you for everything. Talk to you soon!!! Nick and Julie C

Hey Sam. Just wanted to send you some recent pics of Sabo (pronounced saybo). He is 5 months old and is ~42 lbs – and he is an absolutely wonderful pup. He has an amazing temperament (is awesome with children and other dogs), is remarkably smart (learned to play fetch, sit, stay and drop-it at 3 months, easy to train (housetrained and leash trained “heeling” by 4 months) and very composed (rarely ever barks unless someone or soemthing enters his yard or home) and highly confident (he has never displayed fear or intimidation when in the presence of another dog. he just stands his ground and waits for my instruction). I really believe your socializing of all pups with your children before the pups go to thier new home is very instrumental in developing good social skills with children. All in all, I could not be happier with my decision. You have a sincere love for this amazing breed and it shows in your pups. Thank you very much. I will be sure to send you more pics as Sabo matures.
With Sincere Thanks. Frank D.

He is a very good puppy and we want to Thank you because he is everything you said he would be. We would recommend your kennel to anyone that was looking to get a pup. We still watch your web site and just love the new puppies. I will send you a pic of Jagger so that you can see what you have produced and can be proud. We take him to our son’s baseball game and people can not get over the color of him.

Hi Sam,
Hope all is well with you, your family and all your fantastic dogs. Chanel is doing great, and she has turned out to be every bit the Alpha bitch you said she would. There is nothing in this world that she fears! I couldn’t have asked for a better and more powerful dog. She is absolutely perfect! I can’t thank you enough for the ultimate dog…………..

Hello Sam this is Josh up in NewBedford MA I have 1st pick male off of Sunny + Scarlet well where do I start 1st of all let me say thank you soooo much.This dog is by far the best and most beautiful Red Nose no make that APBT that I have ever seen.His name is Big Bad Conrad but we all call him Conrad or Con kind of after his Grandfather.And let me tell you he is big and bad but in a good way he has changed from this little round puppy into at 7 months a 55lb gentle giant I have 2 young girls and his temperment is that of a father with his baby he has become the best family dog we have had.And if you remeber we were coming off the loss of our 13 year old APBT.Your dog has filled our hearts
now I can see why you sign off by saying breeding the best reds of today because it true.Conrad is the perfect combo of intelligence strength size drive and conformation with a lap dog mentality.I sent for his UKC 7gen ped this is the most impressive ped Ive seen I mean every other dog all the way back is a Grand Ch it is truly awsome.I have owend many APBT with old school blood names i wont say and they were nice dogs but very wild not Con he has plenty of energy but at the right time he runs with me every day and is outstanding on a lead super super smart dog no dog
aggression at all.And about his color he is like 5 different colors in 1 at night or in low light he is this beautiful chocolate then in the sun he glows like a chocolate/amber and his eyes glow like the sun and the ear crop came out flawless both ears stand perfect.He was super with house training and never jumps on people well almost never his favorite place is on the sofa with us but hes getting so big he still thinks he 20lb but we love him so we make room .Sam no lie people have almost crashed trying to look at him when we go running.Again thank you for everything I was very nervous
buying a dog from half way across the country but you made it as if you were nextdoor I was very impressed with the way he came in a nice clean crate with plenty of bedding he was clean and even smelled nice.Sam from me and my family we thank you and everyone at ACK your dogs are top of the line keep up the good work I will be calling you about a girlfreind for Conrad next year I will send some pictures at about 1yr I will never buy a dog from anyone but ACK I am a very very very satisfied ACK customer.P.S.

Hi Sam,
I wanted to drop you a line to let you know that Helix is doing Awesome. He is now 1.5 years old and over 80lbs.
He is the most beautiful dog I have ever seen. Everywhere I go people can not get over how big he is, especially his head. In this picture, he is sitting next to his best friend in the world: Tyson. These two are inseparable and have an amazing bond. He is always curious and never gives up. He has shown his loyalty to me many of times and I am so amazed how he never leaves my side. Helix is my pride and joy. I can’t wait to get my next pup.
Thanks Again,
-Brian K. D.

Dear Sam, Lots of greatings from Denmark.
We are living only 5 minutes away from the beach, both in Denmark and Sweden
We go to the beach almost every day – and Chanel just loves to swim – she want’s to stay in the water all the time and swims like a beaver not even Tarzan can keep up with her. She’s a very loving and caring dog, I have never seen a dog that strong and powerfull in all her moves. She’s so self confident and aware of everything, that from the first day we got her, she has been taking care of security in our home, and every day she surprises me with her good temper.She is always happy and ready to rock – I’m smiling as I’m writing this. Everywhere I go in Sweden and Denmark, people are complimenting her and asks me where she’s from, so you’re about to get famous here in Scandinavia. Bottomline: I can’t get my hands down and thank you enough for the ultimate dog. You are truely Sam the man with a plan – We salute you I can only wish you the best for you and your family at Anchor Chain Kennels.
Best regards, Jan Stau Denmark.

Sam,
I have one of your puppies from Action and Neysa, born May fifteenth of this year. We
named her Betty. I thought that I should keep in touch and tell you about Betty’s progress.
First we socialized her. Then we temperament tested her. We gave her a week to adjust to
her new home. Then she went right into puppy class for four weeks. Its like pre-school for
dogs, where they get exposed to more people and more dogs and where they start to learn
their name and also learn that the world isn’t as bad as they think it is. She did great through
all of that. Now she is training with the big boys. She is five months old and she is resounding great to
our training. For the last month I have been working with her to make sure she is responding
correctly, and every time I work with her I am amazed. She is very intelligent and looks to the
handler for guidance. She has taken to the obedience training very fast. She accomplished many
commands in only one month of training like sitting, downing, and healing.
We also started Betty on protection work. The first day she barked at the decoy. I was shocked
to see her respond that quickly. Now it seems to be her favorite thing to do. Around the house
she is very protective and always lets me know if someone is on the property. At the same time
she is very sweet, she knows who takes care of her and seems to like her new home. Soon I will
be putting a video together for you of Betty’s progress. If you would like to see her now you could
go on to my web site at www.nwironworks.com at the bottom of every page is a picture of our dogs.
Thank you for breeding such well rounded dogs.

Sam,
How’s it going? I took some pictures of the pup (Bandido) today and thought I would send a couple. He is great and is doing very good. I also wanted to let you know I did receive his reg. papers you sent. Take care and hope you enjoy the pictures.

I just wanted to say thanks to Sam at Anchor Chain. I bought a puppy from Myra and he
turned out to be the smartest, biggest, and most loving pits I have ever had. His muscle
mass and bone structure is truly perfect. I got the dog shipped all the way down to Tampa
and didn’t have a single problem with the payment or the shipping. If you are skeptical about an
internet pup, have no fear, this is the place to buy one….for pics email me……

Hello Sam, It has been a while since we have talked. Just wanted to touch base with you and give you some updated pics on Bane.
He is the friendliest dog I have ever had. I am blessed to have a dog like this. Thanks again. Ray

Hi Sam, Hope all is well with you. Things are awesome with our new puppy. I don’t know what you found here in your breeding, but we cannot believe how good she is. She is SO smart it’s eerie. She knows how to sit, give her paw, stay, and (almost) lie down already. She takes everything in stride and acts as though she has always done things- even if they’re new, like walking on a leash, wearing her coat, asking to go outside to do her business, etc. We have her signed up for puppy classes starting in 2 weeks. I’m sure she’ll be the envy of the class and make a lot of new friends. She’s good with my cat- as you can see in one picture, she’s taken over the cat tree (my poor 15-year-old cat!)and is starting to get used to my horse. She’s just unsure of a creature so big and loud. Frankly I’m afraid for my bunny, though! We’ve already had some snow, so of course she needed a coat. She weighs 15 lbs, but seems to grow by the minute. She sits and waits for her food, is patient and kind, and is being socialized to get her goodness out there for people to see. We love her so much. We just stare at her and can’t believe how beautiful she is. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. She has added such joy to our lives already and has helped with our pain over Rumer. We just can’t seem to find the right name for her yet, though. Hope you enjoy the pictures, we’ll send more as she gets bigger and more gorgeous.
Thank you again, Jolene

You are sure going to have some gorgeous puppies coming. What 2 beautiful pairs! You have the most awesome-looking dogs I have ever seen. And, their temperment sure matches their beauty. We still can’t get over how good Aderyn is. I wanted to update you on Aderyn. She just turned 6 months old and now weighs 49lbs. She is so beautiful and so good! She goes to daycare twice a week and has a lot of friends. She loves other dogs so we might get her a brother or sister. She’s having a blast at daycare right now, though. She’s getting spayed on Wednesday so will have to miss about 2 weeks of seeing her friends- she’s not going to be happy. I can’t tell you how much she loves going there. There’s nothing better in life! If someone could ask for the perfect dog, it would be her. Noone can get over her joy for life, her love of people, and her overall goodness. She has free run of the downstairs of our house and behaves like an angel when we’re gone, although she sure hates being left behind! I wish I could take her everywhere I go. Noone could have a better ambassador for this breed. We take her as many places as we can so people can see how good this breed really is. I have such a passion for them. I’m starting to get involved with Pit rescue so I can give a little back to these creatures that try so hard and give so much to us-and are so maligned and misunderstood.

Sonny and Axle are really looking great. Our Tyson is growing up just how
we’d hoped. He weighed 50lbs at his six month vet check. I can’t praise your
kennel enough for breeding him, he really is the total package. He’s stocky
in build without sacrificing speed, has a good bite, great with people, and
game in the “old school” meaning of the word. He has more confidence than
any dog I have ever known.
——————————————————————————————————--
My name is Bryan Ghantt, a couple of months ago I got a pup from you out of
Axle and Sassy’s last litter. His name is Dawkins, he is now 4 months old
and is doing great. He is very confident, has all the game a game dog
should have, he is smart and always eager to please me. Everything that you
state on your websites homepage is 100% accurate. I am confident that I
made the best choice in picking Anchor Chain Kennels. I couldn’t possibly
be happier. I wanted to thank you, Axle and Sassy for such a great pup.
Good luck with your upcoming breedings.

Hi Sam,
I wanted to drop you a line to let you know that Helix is doing Awesome. He is now 1.5 years old and over 80lbs.
He is the most beautiful dog I have ever seen. Everywhere I go people can not get over how big he is, especially his head. In this picture, he is sitting next to his best friend in the world: Tyson. These two are inseparable and have an amazing bond. He is always curious and never gives up. He has shown his loyalty to me many of times and I am so amazed how he never leaves my side. Helix is my pride and joy. I can’t wait to get my next pup.
Thanks Again,

Sam,
I have one of your puppies from Action and Neysa, born May fifteenth of this year. We
named her Betty. I thought that I should keep in touch and tell you about Betty’s progress.
First we socialized her. Then we temperament tested her. We gave her a week to adjust to
her new home. Then she went right into puppy class for four weeks. Its like pre-school for
dogs, where they get exposed to more people and more dogs and where they start to learn
their name and also learn that the world isn’t as bad as they think it is. She did great through
all of that. Now she is training with the big boys. She is five months old and she is resounding great to
our training. For the last month I have been working with her to make sure she is responding
correctly, and every time I work with her I am amazed. She is very intelligent and looks to the
handler for guidance. She has taken to the obedience training very fast. She accomplished many
commands in only one month of training like sitting, downing, and healing.
We also started Betty on protection work. The first day she barked at the decoy. I was shocked
to see her respond that quickly. Now it seems to be her favorite thing to do. Around the house
she is very protective and always lets me know if someone is on the property. At the same time
she is very sweet, she knows who takes care of her and seems to like her new home. Soon I will
be putting a video together for you of Betty’s progress. If you would like to see her now you could
go on to my web site at www.nwironworks.com at the bottom of every page is a picture of our dogs.
Thank you for breeding such well rounded dogs.

Sam,
How’s it going? I took some pictures of the pup (Bandido) today and thought I would send a couple. He is great and is doing very good. I also wanted to let you know I did receive his reg. papers you sent. Take care and hope you enjoy the pictures.

I just wanted to say thanks to Sam at Anchor Chain. I bought a puppy from Myra and he
turned out to be the smartest, biggest, and most loving pits I have ever had. His muscle
mass and bone structure is truly perfect. I got the dog shipped all the way down to Tampa
and didn’t have a single problem with the payment or the shipping. If you are skeptical about an
internet pup, have no fear, this is the place to buy one….for pics email me……

Hello Sam, It has been a while since we have talked. Just wanted to touch base with you and give you some updated pics on Bane.
He is the friendliest dog I have ever had. I am blessed to have a dog like this. Thanks again. Ray

Hi Sam, Hope all is well with you. Things are awesome with our new puppy. I don’t know what you found here in your breeding, but we cannot believe how good she is. She is SO smart it’s eerie. She knows how to sit, give her paw, stay, and (almost) lie down already. She takes everything in stride and acts as though she has always done things- even if they’re new, like walking on a leash, wearing her coat, asking to go outside to do her business, etc. We have her signed up for puppy classes starting in 2 weeks. I’m sure she’ll be the envy of the class and make a lot of new friends. She’s good with my cat- as you can see in one picture, she’s taken over the cat tree (my poor 15-year-old cat!)and is starting to get used to my horse. She’s just unsure of a creature so big and loud. Frankly I’m afraid for my bunny, though! We’ve already had some snow, so of course she needed a coat. She weighs 15 lbs, but seems to grow by the minute. She sits and waits for her food, is patient and kind, and is being socialized to get her goodness out there for people to see. We love her so much. We just stare at her and can’t believe how beautiful she is. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. She has added such joy to our lives already and has helped with our pain over Rumer. We just can’t seem to find the right name for her yet, though. Hope you enjoy the pictures, we’ll send more as she gets bigger and more gorgeous.
Thank you again, Jolene

You are sure going to have some gorgeous puppies coming. What 2 beautiful pairs! You have the most awesome-looking dogs I have ever seen. And, their temperment sure matches their beauty. We still can’t get over how good Aderyn is. I wanted to update you on Aderyn. She just turned 6 months old and now weighs 49lbs. She is so beautiful and so good! She goes to daycare twice a week and has a lot of friends. She loves other dogs so we might get her a brother or sister. She’s having a blast at daycare right now, though. She’s getting spayed on Wednesday so will have to miss about 2 weeks of seeing her friends- she’s not going to be happy. I can’t tell you how much she loves going there. There’s nothing better in life! If someone could ask for the perfect dog, it would be her. Noone can get over her joy for life, her love of people, and her overall goodness. She has free run of the downstairs of our house and behaves like an angel when we’re gone, although she sure hates being left behind! I wish I could take her everywhere I go. Noone could have a better ambassador for this breed. We take her as many places as we can so people can see how good this breed really is. I have such a passion for them. I’m starting to get involved with Pit rescue so I can give a little back to these creatures that try so hard and give so much to us-and are so maligned and misunderstood.

Sonny and Axle are really looking great. Our Tyson is growing up just how
we’d hoped. He weighed 50lbs at his six month vet check. I can’t praise your
kennel enough for breeding him, he really is the total package. He’s stocky
in build without sacrificing speed, has a good bite, great with people, and
game in the “old school” meaning of the word. He has more confidence than
any dog I have ever known.

My name is Bryan Ghantt, a couple of months ago I got a pup from you out of
Axle and Sassy’s last litter. His name is Dawkins, he is now 4 months old
and is doing great. He is very confident, has all the game a game dog
should have, he is smart and always eager to please me. Everything that you
state on your websites homepage is 100% accurate. I am confident that I
made the best choice in picking Anchor Chain Kennels. I couldn’t possibly
be happier. I wanted to thank you, Axle and Sassy for such a great pup.
Good luck with your upcoming breedings.
