Very good Read.


I try t pay attention to each and everyone for over the last 40 years when it comes to making good bulldogs better.

You can always lean something from everyone if you listen close enough.

From the start of it all I have been a family bred man.
Those that started me out in the 70's had bred there own family from scratch. I had family members and friends that had there own family of animals from dogs to horses to even pigeons .
I didn't just learn how to read a pedigree but how to manipulate %'s . I learned how to make establish a base and also how to change the base with out changing the dogs.

I had learned that 1st hand experience with each dog will always over shadow reading and talking about dogs you never owned or even had your hands on.
It's never how the dog is bred as important as how you plan on breeding the dog. It doesn't take much to have a dog change directions and if your not basing what you do by what you have seen then even dogs related can and will produce different dogs. Each breeder has a different standard and 25% is a major factor in all dogs. It's always better to produce a dog to go with a already proven dog on your yard than it is to build up a producing dog. A cross may give you a show stopper but if you don't know and understand how to maintain or how to add what a dog is missing than you'll spend your youth , money and time chasing other folks dreams.

I like seeing how other breeders perceive things. Once again great read and great info.

For over the last 2 1/2 decades I still stand behind what I feed. I still go by allot of things I have learned over the years from the un famous just as much as the famous in this thing we do.
I had started with a continued using line breeding patterns . For me those worked the best. Saves time, money and culling.
The more you see , the less you guess. That's what I believe and know. Another thing was I could buy a great dog but I could not buy the family of dogs I wanted. I had to breed them myself.
Great dogs don't always produce great families, but a great family will always produce great dogs fro time -time. Focus on what you have not what you have heard , base dogs on them and not there papers, and Last but not least is "Keep them tight and check them hard". It only takes a drop of crap to turn a pure jar of honey into a jar full of crap.
Base pit bulls on performance not propaganda.
They best will show you they are the best. No one has to talk you to death about it.

As I was told let the chain spots be the tittles. They have to earn them and kept them.

Just my 2 cents after 40+ years and over a dozen generation and a handful of different but related families,
