a true blue pit??

alright, here's the question. does anybody have any references or pics about any REAL apbt of old that were blue? i know it's had to of been researched with all the b.s. about blue dogs going on. after all these threads about blue dogs and stuff. i've heard it a few times that it did happen on occasion. anybody know of any dogs?

 

I dont know nothin about this dog but judging conformation wise.. doesnt look big or like a bandogge

Whiskey's Blue (RIP ) was also a nice looking dog. Built in the low 50's or upper 40's if I'm correct.

 

hey i have the same ped from that except just a lil different

 

is the watchdog not staff blood. (the pic makes him look like a pit. but do you think he was a gamedog with that blood?)

 

Blue was a good lookin dog, for sure. i guess i should of specified game-dog. but maybe ya'll are talkin game too..(?)

 

click on his offspring.. again, its all hearsay.. and watchdog was a combination of old Ruffian with game bred lines

 

well i know that i have big thor and moosn shadow

 

i saw the offspring stats..so it does look like he's close. if not there.

 

i believe that thw watch dog ruffian are close to game dog red

 

Gamedogs are rare. Even in game lines they are rare.

 

I spoke with an old timer a few months back who told me of a Gr CH bitch that was blue. I don't know her name all I know is if he says it's so then it's so.

 

Ch herrings red skillet is in my am staffs ped.

 

Check out this article from Richard Stratton that talks about blue dogs in the last three paragraphs.

nice to see some props givin to blues there not all big and lazy thats just a rumor

 

This my second litter
Blue/merle pitts are generally marked by thier blue eyes and grey.

 

\In case you are not aware: Merle is not a recognized color for this breed. The merle pattern came in from breeding other breeds into APBTs. Therefore, merles are mutts.

Blues were actually a rare color for this breed at one point. Obviously, not any more. The purpose of this thread is to see if anyone knows of any game blues that actually existed back in the day (before the recent popularity of the color). They did exist in some lines. But, it was rare.

 

Your to quick with your reply's and need to read a little about merles. Because from what i looked up on the merles is that they are still doing test to see how the color is coming out when none of the parents are merle. That goes for my merle her Dam and Sire werent merle at all. They were Red/Red nose. So im not saying that they arent mutts but i would rather call them crosses.

 

Nevertheless, it is a genetic defect and all dogs that exhibit this trait should be removed from any breeding program. If you have done the research as you say, you will agree with this. You know and I know that all dogs (with the exception of the extreme rare case of a genetic defect) are bred with other breeds or "crossed" as you call it to get this trait. I stand by my statement. It is just another trait BYBs use to make more money and call mutts "pits".

 

blue/merle "pits"??? wrong direction there. just gotta ask, have these pups had any health issues yet? both type dogs have been known to have health issues. not crackin on your dogs, but are you gonna keep breeding these dogs? and what are they registered as, and by whom?
tommyt said it perfect,,,i was wondering about game pits of the past that were blue.
