Pit Bull History

Its way to much and to complicated to even try to put on here. I will say this to tell you how good of shape those dogs were in . A fourty foot jenny and at the end of the 45 day program the dog was running at a full trot just before a lope for 8-10 hrs at the end of the program with his mouth closed breathing threw his nose loving every min of it and of course it did not start out like that. Lots of rubs , lots of hand walking at first as well as a lot of other things and a gradually building up to that kind of time. Hard to imagine isn't it .

In order to peak condition a canine you have to think like a canine. Just like a coyote wonder how many miles a nite he travles in a fast trot searcing for food , you might be surprised .

Swamphunter , that dog was a heavy, heavy straight line bred dog with a pure 1/4 out cross of a super performace dog that was heavy bred in his own family with a bit of a cross in him also. The genes have got to have room to breath most the time to produce a super dog . It can be done with pure heavy line and some inbreeding but it is not going to happen much once the gene pool is so concentrated it works against itself that's a fact .

If you will look back on pit bull history are any canine history and study the breedings of the old old timers you will see that most familys start from super outcrosses in other words familys are started from super dogs be bred to super dogs mostly of no kin for years on end then a man takes those crosses and combines them into a family of its on. This is what carrys a great family of dogs for years on end until the gene pools becomes so concentrated it cannot help itself any more because of kennel blindness for one , I have seen it many times over , so were do you go for help that's right you go to a super out cross . That is how the family of dogs started in the first place. To each his own tho know what I mean.
