Rednose pibull

Hi.
Is the rednose pitbull a own line or can you get all pitbulls whit red nose?

 

just about any line can spit out a red/red here and there.....

There is/was a strain Called the Old Family Reds...

 

Pretty much correct....just about any except the Colby strain.

 

"is/was" are the still not around?

 

Thanks for the information.

How this nose color craze started I'm not sure of. However, I do have an idea about what caused it.
There are many types of American Pit Bull Terrier. You have show dogs, working dogs, and various line types. One of the most famous line types is the Colby line.
You also have breed types. More on this in a later article. Right now we'll stick with a basic understanding of the two.
Breed Types - A breed of dogs appearance as a breed. The American Pit Bull Terrier is a medium sized dog that is well built and muscular that ranges from 35-65 lbs in weight. This is a breed type.
Line Types - Line types are a result of a specific breeding programs effects on the breed type. Going back to the Colby example, after 100 years of line breeding they have produced a distinct looking do. Black brindle with white blazes or completely white heads. They also have a fawn and fawn/white type of dog they produce.
Sorrell dogs are another example line type. Sorrell dogs are usually fawn with no other colorings and a black muzzle and nose. These dogs are very "average" looking in appearance but the years of breeding have produced a distinct looking dog and after you've been around for a while you can tell a Sorrell from a Colby dog just by looking at them.
Now we get to the meat of the matter. Where did these red noses and blue noses come from?
I suspect the Old Family Red Nose dogs out of Ireland started this trend. People started calling them, "Old Family Reds" and "Red noses" because they had a distinct red coat with red nose with golden eyes. I have never seen a real Old Family Red Nose but from descriptions they were gorgeous dogs I'm sure.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]So people started calling them by nose color and some even think they are different breeds.[/FONT]
This is crazy if you ask me.
I get questions from people saying, "I have a red/red nose, what breed is she?"
Shes a red/red nose American Pit Bull Terrier. The same goes for any APBT with a colored nose, coat or whatever. They are the same breed they just have different characteristics.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In Conclusion[/FONT]

There is only one Pit Bull and that is The American Pit Bull Terrier.
If they have a red nose, blue nose, blue coat, red coat, brindle coat, cream coat, fawn with white patches or a black mask, it doesn't matter at all. They are still 100% American Pit Bull Terriers (unless they are known mix breeds).
So next time some one starts talking about their different breed of APBT called a "red nose" you will know they have no clue what they are talking about and they simply have an American Pit Bull Terrier with a red nose. :o)
Stay tuned as this subject is to large to cover in one article. More will be coming soon...

 

..pieces of an article I found written by Jason mann. hope it helps

 

OFRN did not come out of Ireland persay, it was a phrase coined over here in the USA. The foundation dogs that the OFRN strain came from did come from ireland, over here they were called Old Family (irish imports), then came Old family reds which were dogs ofthe OF that showed red, then the OFRN from them, dogs that bred true to red/ red nose.
If Im not mistaken, the Irish never called them Old Family, Old Family reds or OFRN...

 

Damn..... I didn't know that.

 

Yea it is one of those little fun facts....love it when people say they got a rednose Colby, kinda like the tooth fairy....it doesn't exist !

Of coarse you can get one if you cross out for it ( will not count as a Colby dog either ) and you will not find one on either Lou or Jack's yard.

 

So what happens when you breed a red nose and a blue? Do you get any random line type that is somewhere in the mix of genetics?
<O:p</O:p

My red nose is mostly white, with patches of fawn. I have seen a lot like him, where do those come from?


Sorry for all the addon questions

 

Good Info !!! Thanks for that peice of knowledge

 

Isn't Norrods Closest to being old family rednose? Thought I would ask.

 

Wow thanks.

 

Depends of the breeding and colors behind them. I've seen it first hand once and the result was a whole litter of blacks. Blue is just a dilute of black and red/red nose is recessive.

 

I think you end up with purple:rolleyes:
