How important is coi to you?

The Pit Bull Bible database does a good job calculating COI. He and the new owner don't allow duplicate peds so it can be used as a pretty good tool.

Just about all my dogs over the years have been crosses so my numbers a fairly low. One of the better dogs I have had in recent years was Hatchett and he was around 30%.

Then it gets into recognizing the traits of the dogs involved. The guy that actively bred 4-5-6 generations can get into those higher percentages and come away with lesser negative affects vs. the guy that buys two inbred dogs and inbreeds again.

Interesting topic.

You just fucked up all the math.

I had bitch from the same breeder but even tighter, if I remember right her coi was around 55%. One of the smartest and athletic dogs I’ve ever seen. Phenomenal producer too. She lived to be almost 16, healthy with zero health problems. She would’ve lived much longer but because she was never spayed she had a chronic case of pyometra during her final months so sadly the only thing we could do was put her down. She was also an ace caliber performance animal with extreme gameness.
Like all things bulldog it’s about ‘who bred them and why’ selection is EVERYTHING

 

On another note I had a fantastic male that was a complete outcross, coi just about zero, coolest thing about his pedigree was it was free of Tudors Dibo. An ace performance animal as well and produced as well as he performed as he should have being both his mother and father made ROM and both happened to be SDJ cover dogs. I don’t know why I never bred the 2 together they were on the same yard for over a decade.
looking back I was pretty conservative in my breedings, if only we could go back in time…

 

Looking back I had a ton I should have bred or at least put them somewhere to be bred. I can look back and honestly know why tho. I simply hate raising puppies and all that goes along with the process. Liek, if the question was pondered would rather raise puppies or get kicked in the nuts, I would probably ask, "How hard?". Just saying.

Some dogs stack better than others. In most cases the tighter the Red Boy the better the papers look but with each breeding the dogs get further and further away from the box. (for a lot of reasons, mostly the owners preserving their investment but of the ones that are willing to find out, the tighter the less likely).

The RBJBT from that area seem to stack fairly well. I can see where the performance comes from as there are enough families there to be borderline scatter bred. The fact they make dogs that make dogs is most impressive.

To proof my points about Red Boy. On this family of dogs, the name with the least number of winners as stand-alone dogs gets top billing. That is popularity at its finest.
