Welcome to the Pit Bull Forums.

Welcome to Pit Bull Community!

We are dedicated to the preservation of the pit bull in its original form as a game-bred dog and in its modern incarnations as a loving companion pet and top competitor in weight pull competitions and conformation shows.

We are opposed to all forms of animal cruelty, and do not promote any illegal activities, but we celebrate the history of the pit bull and value its qualities of courage, strength and tenacity as the essence of the breed.

We are therefore against all forms of breed-specific legislation, and work to protect the constitutional rights of pit bull owners.

If this is your first visit with us, or even if you have been browsing around, we urge you to register and join our community!

I would rather look at getting ROM Legends, Heritage Book of Pedigrees, or books of that such rather than the Richard Stratton books my self

The Stratton books are great for beginners though. A lot of people won't be ready to dive into ROM Legends or anything like that. They wont understand all the lingo. The Stratton b ooks are a good starting point. Get the oldest first and then read them in order. Thats my advice.

I don't think that this is off topic but the Pit Bulls were originally used to separate bulls for slaughter. Bull baiting probably evolved from the local hicks (serfs) standing around trying to figure out if the dogs would do it without being killed. Betting was a sure thing to do in those days.

They are working dogs and there is no reason that more than a few of them were used in the coal pits to pull the trolleys up and down the line.

As far as I know the Dalmation, mastiff, boxer and Terrier with another breed were put into the line to create the Staffordshire. Anyone that owns and protects one knows what a truly sweet and beautiful animal that it is. But then again I am speaking to the converted.

I really have no idea what your talking about. What does this have to do with bloodlines? And I can gurantee you 100 percent that staffordshires are mixes of dalmations, boxers, terriers and mastiffs,lol. Staffs were nothing more than show bred APBT's when they were created, they simply took APBT's and bred them for show other than the pit. Over time this produces dogs that look similar to a APBT to most people but are really an entirely diffrent dog by now.
