Lions Pride KennelsInactive 14 mo
Lions Pride Kennels is a Gallipolis, Ohio operation run by Terry Qualls Jr., with a Facebook page (created October 19, 2022, 203 followers, category Dog Breeder / Dog Trainer) and Instagram account @lions_pride_kennels. The kennel is not currently operational: on April 11, 2025 the Gallia County Prosecutor announced that Terry Qualls Jr. was sentenced to a mandatory minimum of 4 years 11 months (maximum 6 years 11 months) in Ohio state prison after being convicted on eight felony counts — seven counts of Theft and one count of Engaging in a Pattern of Corrupt Activity — for stealing $73,890.65 from five victims between October 2021 and July 2024 using various LLCs registered in Gallia County. Separately, multiple named Boerboel breeders — including Black Iron Boerboels (host of the Boerboel Expo), Benaiah Boerboels (Tricia Smith), Brickyard Boerboels (Jeff Kuntz), and others — have publicly documented non-delivery of paid transports, failure to refund payments for dog food, and the return of two Boerboels (Black Iron Maggie and Black Iron Benny) in malnourished condition following placement at Lions Pride Kennel. The kennel also operated under the DBAs "Lions Pride Transport" and "Lions Pride Boerboels". See Public Record for details. Unable to verify registry membership or health-testing records at this time.
