The Colby Bloodline - History

I've been doing a good bit of research on the Colby bloodline over the past few months and I'm debating on purchasing a pup. Can anyone tell me the history of this bloodline? How long has it been around, who started it, and are the original breeders still breeding purebred colby dogs?

Thanks in advance for any information

 

do u own any apbts now????

 

do research and keep seraching for the next 5 years and you will get answers on both side of the spectrum.....................LIVE IT, EXPERIENCE IT and base your opinion on YOUR endeavours

 

He's right live it go out and buy one if that's what you want. Don't wait 5 years though go do it. You only live once

 

Do a search on here about Colby dogs, there should be plenty of info on them.

I'd recommend the book "Colby's Book of the American Pit Bull Terrier" by Louis Colby. It's an excellent history of the dogs and family behind them, it is full of great old photos too.

Try Amazon for a copy, it's a worthwhile book.

There is also an old book by Joseph Colby called "The American Pit Bull Terrier" and that one is available online to down load and read. I don't have the link at hand but maybe someone else will post it for you. Or search for it.

The Colby dogs are a part of history. The Colby family is still breeding them, and a few others have the same lines so you can find a pup if you want one.

But if you have never owned a pit bull before, make sure you are ready for the responsibility. They are great dogs but they are not for everyone...

Good luck.

 

I like your sense of humor..............:dogtongue:

 

Didn't Jessup co-author that book?

 

Yeah but it's still a good book....

 

Since you have been doing some research for the past few months shouldn't you know something about them by now? Like how long they have been around?

 

I don't think Jessup really had much to do withe information in the book except for the part she wrote about Louis Colby.

 

or better yet.. who started it lol

 

Yes I have a rescue, he's 16 years old.

 

Thanks for the information. About the only good answer. Man, there are a bunch of arrogant pricks on these forums, huh?

 

ow yeah lol

 

Along with the Dumb Asses.

 

Yeh well if you had actually done the research you say you have done then you wouldn't be asking stupid questions, you would already know the answers.

 

Hell the Colby line is one of the easiest to find information on.

 

Google + Colby + apbt = All your questions answered. How damn hard is that? No smart ass answers from arrogant pricks. What did you expect?

 

I think this is the link to the down loadable copy of the 1936 book by Joseph Colby on the American Pit Bull --

I did not try the link because I own the printed book and so I have no need for a down loaded version.

Hope the link works, let me know if it does not and I will try to find it again.

 

You are 16 or the dog is 16?
