Bryce Brown’s dog… training
This story has the potential to spin out of control and be taken out of context. From the sounds of it, Bryce Brown was in no way involved in a dog fighting ring. He put his Pit Bull, Ellis, in a Wisconsin kennel for studding services (and for the subsequent weaning), and that kennel is now being investigated on dog fighting-related charges.
In May, Ellis and her seven puppies were seized from the shelter by authorities, who discovered scarring on some of the dogs there– mostly Pit Bills. This week, they were returned to Brown. He is not suspected of any wrongdoing. It seems… he just chose the wrong kennel: [Leader Telegram]
Brown, who did not appear in court Friday, purchased Eilis in 2010, and the dog has been a pet, according to an affidavit. He sent her to Northland Pits for stud services in February. After a week, she was returned to Brown in Wichita, Kansas.
Shortly before the birth of her puppies, Eilis returned to Northland Pits, where Sudbrink offered to whelp and wean the pups for Brown, who knew little about that, according to the affidavit. The dog and her puppies were seized, along with the others, when a search warrant was executed on May 21.
This sounds like an unfortunate circumstance and coincidence for Brown, who gets balls placed in his midsection by Michael Vick, but we’ll wait to see how it plays out. It is a bit… odd.. for an NFL player to be breeding his Pit Bull, apparently with the intention of selling the puppies.
Jeff McLane of Philly.com says that Brown is training the dogs for agility shows and such:
Brown posted a recent video of himself on his Facebook page training a dog to jump some feet in the air to grab a stuffed toy hung from a tree.
Among his friends are pit bull breeders around the world engaged in “extreme” agility training, involving wrestling with stuffed toys and pulling tires.
Video of that, um, feat is after the jump.

Eh, Bryce is still gonna be in some trouble. To those whiny vegan broads, breeding is just as bad as dogfighting.
They have a point in this case though. Who the hell would want to breed a pit bull? That’s like breeding rats. Just pick one up off the street in West Philly.
I live in West Philly, and that’s all too true. If Brown can be accused of anything, it’s poor judgment in the kennel he chose.
Most dogs euthanized in dog shelters are pitties. Why breed a pittie when there are plenty in the shelters? They are wonderful dogs. Bryce must have gotten his kennel recommendation from his sociopathic quarterback……
Exactly, it is BIZARRE to buy a pit bull. The shelters especially in the city are overflowing with pit bulls of every age. Also, that agility thing is extremely questionable. That training seems to be promoting aggression. Pit bulls are the best but they are really strong and need to be trained properly. The problem is how much they want to please, they can either be the best or the worst depending on the owner.
“Pit Bulls. Pit Bulls that were not used for fighting were considered ideal family pets—affectionate, loyal and gentle with children” (http://www.aspca.org/fight-animal-cruelty/dog-fighting/pit-bull-cruelty.aspx)
Get your facts right, they’re incredibly well behaved animals if properly trained, respected, and loved.
Rednecks & blacks love dog fighting.
You are an idiot. Read “The Lost Dogs” by Sports Illustrated writer Jim Gorant. Dog fighting participants come from all areas of the country and from all socio-economic levels. You know nothing…
Ay yo, why come I can’t have a pit bull to use for da fighting yo?
Agility shows ? Well, that seems to be a training method for any fighting breed just the same ? Just me, but if I have Vick as a teammate the roster, the last type of dog I’m getting as a teammate is a pit bull. There are plenty of You Tube videos showing the pit bull being trained to jump fences and bite & hang from a stuffed object at the end of a rope.
“Agility training” is to dog fighting as “sensual massage” is to prostitution.
