This is our latest addition: Bryant's "Black Jack" aka Blackie. Just took this pic today. He's a little dirty from playing outside.

Thanks for the comments. Here are some pictures of the rest of the gang:

Little Nemo, who was stolen at 4 months old. He'd be 8.5 months old now.

Sammy, our 'old man' at 4 years old. LOL. He's acted like an old man from the time we got him 2 years ago.

This is Gauge. He's a pretty big boy at over 50lbs at 9.5 months old.

BJ - our wild and crazy girl. She's constantly go-go-go and barks at everything.

Jasmine. She is out of Maggie x Sammy. A petite little girl, but I expect her to get a little bigger. She's about 35-40lbs at almost 10 months.

And last, but certainly not least is Maggie. She was our 1st APBT, and dare I say the best. She's very eager to please, and the favorite of everyone that meets our dogs. Quite simply, a very sweet girl.

To be honest, he's got quite a few faults. He's a nice looking dog, but he is a little shallow chested (hadn't even noticed that till you pointer it out), his tail is too thick and long, and he's got a long, snipey muzzle. I wouldn't mind at all for him to fill out like any average APBT does as they mature, I just don't want him filling out and the Camelot blood in him showing through too much. Ya know? But he's so tall, that he could use some decent filling out. It's funny when we try to run with him; we'll be running full speed, and he's just jogging along - those long legs! LOL. I can't imagine how fast he'd be if we could ever get him up to full speed. I'm afraid to bike with him though - scared he'd pull me down. At about 5 months old he was outrunning BJ when we'd play fetch with them! And she's not slow by any means.

Hmmm, Overall I think its a good thing to have ruffinan fairly recently back in the blood considering it virtually the foundation for all amstaffs.
I also think the founding stock wouldnt compete with todays dogs. My puppies have founding ruffian only four gens back. Most of the dogs being line bred so they are the "genetic equal". I have above average quality dogs. Thats all I know to say on the matter.

PS... Not to say im the greatest or my dogs are or anything, i just researched my pedigrees and didnt purchase or stud from and BYB's and my dogs are consistant with conformation standars in all areas.

I agree you have above-average dogs. Not my cup of tea for ADBA type APBTs, but that's because they're not. They're AKC ASTs, and exceptional ones at that. I just love Crickett. I bought the black pup because every dog I'd ever seen with either a total Ruffian foundation, or even just Ruffian blood on 1/2 it's pedigree - have all looked awesome. Plus, like I said, the few people who had commented on it had said good things. I'm not disappointed in Blackie at all. I know the Ruffian is pretty far back, and he's scatterbred, but for me, I usually look at the parents a little more than just the bloodlines. His sire is an outstanding dog (in my opinion, anyway). I just hope to be able to start showing sometime soon. Even if I have to show Gauge in the grass - LOL!

Gage is on Stilts!! I like the way he looks though, He has unique qualities that make him a looker! Good luck in showing, its the ultimate honor you can give your dogs.
