Thank you. I havent done a breeding in a few years. The only dog I still have is PorkChop. I did go see Bullhead last weekend and he had a real nice female I considered for one. I just dont have the space, or desire to deal w pups.

Those APBT sisters were something for sure. Those two couldnt be around any animal that I didnt want burnt down. Somewhat surprised that the crosses were not very dog aggressive, the ones I kept any how. More if they were pushed they would put the hammer down kind of reaction.

"Those are some fine bulldogs Teag. Man I sure do like that Mixer dog, and the Brody and Rooster dogs down from him look real nice too. You have a fine line of dogs going."
Thank you. That Mixer was a hell of an athlete. Once in a while, a freak pops up, and he was one. I got to get my current dog on a hunt. He seems to be a good one, but dont know till u know.

Yea things are good and I seem to always keep one or two dogs around. Been doing Bullhead, Kinghaven ABs x Chinaman APBTs for more than 10 years. I like the 3/4 AB 1/4 APBT, They got the athletic ability and wind but have a better handle than those APBT sisters I had. I try to get out hunting but the guys I used to go with down in Florida don't get out anymore. Looking for a new spot. http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/search.html?s=plugugly

of course it depends on the dogs and some luck but I like the cross. Been doing them for 10 years or so. First gen were truly amazing athletes, second gen lost some. third gen r getting close as far as athletic ability and better temperaments. I have seen it go wrong tho too.

these would be considered Scott type. Like other breeds, there were splits in type when other breeders put their "spin" on the dogs. So some people would consider them from the "performance" family of ABs. There are ABs that can do everything I was looking for, however consistency can be an issue. I had 5 that weren't worth much before I got a good one. They were all from well known Scott or performance bloodlines. The first good one I got was from some of the same blood but with 1/4 APBT cross out of Manson. That dog spawned a family called Manson Family Bandogs. Manson was a monster of a dog but they were doing crosses with Pressa and going in a different direction. As far as Bullhead goes, he has been breeding roughly Id say 20 years. He wasn't easily contacted and even tougher to get a pup from. That has changed now. I wasn't specifically looking for the APBT 2 do a cross but I found a semi local guy that has some real deal dogs. I decided 2 offer Bullhead a free female on the condition he would breed her to one of his inbred males. Kinda an entrance fee. I have been to many AB kennels, he has the most consistant yard I have been to. I don't have a knock on his yard or dogs. Not saying his dogs r perfect but they, on average are damn good and he is willing to walk the walk. They are large for my liking, real large. Id say an average male is 115lbs, I want and 80lber. I didn't want to try a different family of smaller ABs, because of the consistency issue.

Bullhead kennels, he is deep enough in his program to call them his line. He gets the traits I am interested in consistently.

People are catching them on trail cams not far from me. Just don't know anyone w hunting dogs going out. Im wanting to find someplace closer to me. Darn tough to find time for a road trip 2 florida these days. The F1s were, in general phenomenal athletes. More tractable than the straight APBTs, more well rounded, not as skittish. At that point I wouldn't say they had bomb proof nerves but most people wouldn't have noticed. The 2nd and 3rd generations lost athletic ability but gained more solid temperaments. Now the 4th gen is getting close to the F1s in ability but with very solid nerves. The first 2 crosses were 2 different, but related males to 2 belly sisters down from Earl Jr and El Negro. The AB blood was enough to get the pups to dial it back a notch or two. They r cool around other non dominant dogs. They also will chill when its time. Those Chinaman sisters were either sleeping or 100 MPH.

personal opinion is that he has some of the best ABs around depending what u looking for . I crossed them w some heavy Chinaman apbt to decrease size.
