bloodline question

[Lunchbox]

Can someone tell me someplace to go to read up on different types of bloodlines. I've never really thought of it before I started going to different boards & seeing people talk about it.
The lady I bought my Lou off of said his dad had "german" bloodlines that is why he was the size he was. His dad was around 100 pounds. Huge block-head beautiful dog. I didnt really doubt her since she had a thick german accent & lived on base. I do understand now she was probably full of stuff. Either way it doesnt matter, I just want to be more informed.

I would say she is full of it for sure. There isn't anything known as a German Pit Bull, there are American Pit Bull Terriers but people will try to say anything. His size is probably atributed to adding another breed in. Its not from being of some foreign blood? Pit Bulls are banned over in Germany, they are not allowed to breed them and it was horible over there!!! There was some fake lady selling pups from a "German Line" not too long ago, she also claimed the bloodline was Warlock but when asked what this great worklock dog has done no answer she just wanted to argue the fact. A warlock is a Rott/APBT cross, but as a pure dog it is a poorly bred dog, bred for size above all else and known as a warlock whatever, like the warlock Rottweiler, the Warlock GSDs and the Warlock Dobie so is the Warlock Pit Bull (which is confusing b/c of the named cross) it is no more German than any other APBT.

As far as reading up on bloodlines I'm not really sure. There are always specifci dogs you can read about that attributed to or is the base of some bloodline. You can read some of R. Strattons books to find info on bloodlines and the dogs and try this site on the web. http://www.angelfire.com/ca/realdogs/mredboy.html It has info about the redboy line. http://www.angelfire.com/ca/realdogs/redboy.html

*nevermind* It seems you can get anything papered these days.

[True_Pits]

Why do you say that? B/c of all the paper hanging? Or new info? These days we're working to make it harder to have false registration.

I have papers through the ADBA for my pup. So I'm like my pup cant be mixed with nothing even though he is 5 months old & 45lbs. I like to run around the net looking at other dogs & kennels. I ran across dogs which obviously some kind of pit mix but they are papered through the ADBA. It isnt just one place either. Anyway here is a pic of my pup at 3 mtnhs old. It is a bad pic since it was taken the same day we brought him home from getting his ears cropped. Thats why he has the sad face.

Your pup looks a lot like my dog Reese. Same color with the white on the chest. He also has one back foot with white on the tip of his toes. Reese if full grown and weighs 50lbs.

I'm going to call the breeder since I dont have his papers back from ADBA yet.

Ok I talked to the husband of the lady I bought him from. These are his dogs. He said the blood lines come from here.

Here is his pedigree.

Maybe this is were she got the german thing from.

I dunno. He said something about a kennel shipping dogs over there & that is were he picked up the dad while stationed there. But you just said pits arent allowed to breed there. This is getting confusing.

APBT's are confusing when you get into bloodlines... even if you throw out the possibility of bogus ones.

Even my Rare breed with a nightmare of physical problems and no real "lines" to speak of are easier to deal with when it comes to lineage than lots of APBT's out there... Don't feel bad the confusion is a common occurance.

As far as ironline kennels they have good Ol' American Pit Bull Terrier american made, american bloodlines. They have Red Boy, Red Devil, OFRN and some Turtlebuster/Fargo. Their CH Dutchess is supposedly the only female who is both pit CH and show CH, of course not everyone reports but they still claim it. I didn't recognize any of the dogs in the pedigree, I'll have to wait until you get his papers back. Maybe there were some there sent back here, such as the stud. They are outlawed there, but some breeders sent their dogs back here soon as they could. But still there wouldn't be any german line, they would be the same bloodline just shipped back over here. Sometimes people really don't know what they are talking about, sounds like this lady may be one of them?

Try to do searches on www.google.com for bloodlines. I have alot of different bloodlines on my message board and web site that I've found and compiled a list. It's just alot of research and knowledge of the lines. You want to go back like 16 generations to make sure there isn't any funny stuff mixed in there like AmStaff, American Bulldog, etc. Best case, just stick to what you know is true APBT.
