Pit Bull History

[TexasHogDogs]

man...I like that Breaux dog...about a quarter of that over a gritty hard hunting mtn cur... 

them other dogs look good too...

He was the very very best dog I have ever bred myself Rueben in my life time of those dogs .  Great dont even begin to describe that dog !  A freak of Nature no other words decribe it .

i love that girlfriend gyp alot. wish i owned one that looked just like her.

out of curiousity, is the rooster dog roman nosed like a bull terrier?
or is it just swelling, or camera angle?
he appears to be more roman nosed than most bulldogs in the pic.

nice bulldogs.

[TexasHogDogs]

Yeah just the way the pic was taken .   Thats a old old pic .

Texashogdogs,
  Did you ever know a man named Buddy Knight from the Covington, La. area? Back in the day he was probably one of the most serious breeders of gamedogs in our area. He used to make some of the finest treadmills around.

I don't guess I did.  I may have met him and just don't remember it there were so many people back then man that was the times.

Thanks & good pictures.
  We bought a Hinziel  sp.? bred gyp off of him that could not have pups. She was the hardest biting dog I have seen. Like you said alot of the game bred dogs did not make good catchdogs. She caught on the jowl & in about 2 shakes, she had a fist size chunk of meat that would come off & she would have to regrip. Needless to say she did not make a good catchdog but she was a wirey 45# gyp that was solid muscle.

Wow, I must say I really love this thread. So much knowledge and great stories. I've been doing some research and have really come to love the look of a hard working conditioned bull dog.

Wow I love the look of that dog! I might need to look into getting my hands on one when I have room for another dog. A good friend of my pops breeds them.

[dodgegirl]

Can you tell me more about the 45 day condition program?

[TexasHogDogs]

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.
