👑 Retired Legends: Venom & Omega
Venomline is built on the shoulders of two legendary studs who helped shape our bloodline and the Pocket Bully breed as a whole:
-
Louis V Line’s Venom — The cornerstone of Venomline and one of the most influential producers in the American Bully world. Venom’s combination of extreme features on a compact frame set the template for our program. He sired numerous champions and unforgettable dogs across the globe. (Venom is now fully retired, and all of his stud credits have been sold out — a testament to the demand for his blood. He was even nicknamed the “Million Dollar Bully” for the tremendous impact and value of his offspring.)
-
Louis V Line’s Omega — A game-changing stud (half brother to Venom) known as the “Little Polar Bear” for his short, thick structure. Omega brought a compact frame, massive bone, and elite productions to the Venomline family. He is Venom’s half-sibling and carried many of the same traits that made Venom famous. (Omega is also retired from the show circuit; frozen semen from Omega is available to select breeders. This is one of the few ways to still incorporate this incredible blood into a program today.)
Both Venom and Omega have left an indelible mark. Their legacy lives on through their remarkable offspring and through the Venomline studs carrying their genetics forward.

📋 How to Select the Right Stud for Your Program
Before booking a stud:
-
Assess your female: Structure, temperament, and pedigree
-
Clarify breeding goals: Size, type, purpose (pet, show, foundation)
-
Check compatibility: Pedigree stacking, genetic risk, physical fit
-
Request proof: Health testing, offspring photos, references
-
Review the contract: Ask about guarantees, rights, support
Evaluating a Stud: What Every Breeder Needs to Know
Choosing a stud isn’t just about matching pedigrees on paper. It’s about stacking the odds in your favor for a successful breeding. Here are the Top 5 Questions to Ask When Booking a Stud:
-
Do you have production videos? Unedited video proof of the stud and his offspring is crucial — it shows what photos can hide.
-
Is the stud health-tested? Ensure any stud dog has passed health screenings (OFA, Embark, etc.) so you’re not introducing genetic issues.
-
What does he consistently produce with different females? A great stud should throw signature traits no matter the dam. Ask to see offspring out of various females.
-
What support do you offer after the breeding? Top programs like Venomline provide promotion of your litter, mentorship in raising pups, and guidance in placing/selling the puppies.
-
Is there a repeat breeding guarantee? Reputable studs come with a guarantee — if your female doesn’t take, you get another breeding or credit (often without paying the stud fee again).
Pro Tip: Photos can lie. Don’t be fooled by Photoshop or one perfect picture. Look for videos, see the stud moving, and examine multiple offspring. Consistency and structure in motion tell the truth about a stud’s quality.
