A rule of thumb about blue dogs

That's a great looking APBT. But when you go to save the picture, it says 'rippedstaff'. So in Krazy's terms, it's a cur.

 

i think that there are some really good blue dogs out there and i think that once i get mine in good shape ill be able to have a blue dog that looks great, but blue dogs are getting abad rep. because of these crap breeders breeding the blue hippos

 

this is a cur but the breeders say they are breeding for size,head,chest,temperment,GAMNESS,ATHLETISIM,CONFORMATION,BLAH,BLAH,BLUE!!!!!!
What gets me is how when i tell folks i only deal with original gamebred APBT they say something like i used to do game but i have children now as if GAME is synonamous with manbiters so just smile and say have a good day. sometimes i will go into how the dogs were handled in oldtimes in the pit and it would not make sense to have manbiters and ect. but hey the whole world seems to be hungry for HIPPOS?

 

what do yall think of my dog?...being blue and all.

i cant wait to get her conditioned so i can post some pics of her,i think yall will really like her when i do.


edit: shes fat in that pic because i had just had surgury and wasnt walking and working her...i need to get a new one up

 

she is very pretty she kind of reminds me of the York dogs from VA.

what about this blue guy?

 

I don't care if that dog was purple with green polka-dots, I'd take a dog like that any day!!

 

my boy nicodemus has lots of york and make no mistake about it you can get that dog in fine shape. now does that make it game or anything but besides in shape? no, but if you wanna go to shows you should be able to accomplish that. keep her on that carpet mill...which i watched and she was doing great by the way.....and work a flirtpole.

 

I haven't been on the site in quite awhile,as most of the older original members know,so I don't know many of the newer members on here.I think I had the first true blue dog on here that was accepted for what he was not outcast for his color.His name was Boo and unfortunately you won't be able to meet him in person,as he was lost to Hurricane Katrina.He was not bully bred in any way,not even Watchdog/Gaff breeding.He came off our hog stock and proved himself time over to be one of the best doggers we had.He never maxed out over 55 pounds,and that was when he was kept kenneled due to injury.He was catching shoats at 14 weeks and by a year was on the regular hunt schedule.He was also an active weight puller and passenger seat driver.My avitar is a pic of him in his "largest" form. While I agree with most on the large Bully bred blues (and even reds/chocolates/and blacks) don't judge a dog by what color the owner mentions.Meet the dog.

 

The two red dogs are his 'Aunts' ,the chocolate male is Gpa,and the blue females are daughters of his.The dark one coming off a blk brindle white daughter of Sasha(one of the red ones) and the lighter female coming off a red brindle daughter of Sasha.2 of only 3 blue phase pups he has ever produced,and he was never bred to a blue.

 

Here's the pup that came from the litter:

 

Good lookin dogs Whiskey. I saw yours around when I first joined the site.

My boy's in the sig. No bully just an ole scatterbred.

 

breeding for colors????
a real blue come from any kind off breeding not for breeding blue with blue.
the real blue come from a breedng a red nose male with a black nose female from good bloodline.
i think, and here in my country they are starting to breed only blues, this is amateur breedings. they don't know what they are doing.

apbt is breed for work!!!
the show conterpart i accept but i don't like.

i prefer some hog hunting bloodlines or even bloodlines that are still game tested.

i don't buy a dog for his colour but what the breeder does with the progenitors and what ethic breeding program does he follow.

but i'm just a bull lover.

best regards

 

Lethal: That dog is NOT an AmStaff. A lot of ppl think "staff" = AmStaff. Not so.

There are many staffordshire strains, to include the Staffordshire Bull Terrier (English), the Irish Staffordshire Terrier & even a Scottish Stafforshire Terrier. The SBT is bred more for show while the Irish & the Scottish staffs are mostly game bred.

The blue dog in the pic is an IRISH staff bred down from the famous CH. Psycho (4xw) bloodline.

Purplepig: Your pup is a cutie! You don't often see blues, let alone blues w/ flash in game bred dogs any more.

 

Don't put words in my mouth, please. I don't care what breed it is, its a nice looking dog. I don't know if it's a cur or not, again regardless of breed, because I haven't seen it work and don't know what purpose it was bred for.

You're dog could be game and I will never know, but based on its pedigree and what those dogs were bred for, I would have to say he isn't. That is not to be taken as an insult, Lethal. If that's not why you purchased him and are going to breed him for, then I guess it doesn't matter, does it?

BTW, whoever left negative rep points (which I think I know who it was thanks to a PM from that person) for my post commenting on how lovely that blue, ripped Staff was... grow up. Through the internet all you can judge about a dog is looks and pedigree. It doesn't make me "a fad follower." I can like the looks of a dog, but it certainly doesn't mean that's what I think is important in a dog.
