    What was the biggest/heaviest game bred APBT you have ever seen/owned?

    Was it different in some way from smaller (normal weight bulldogs)?

    Please try to post peds...or pictures.

    (Another post got me thinking about this...)

    Thank you very much

    Kind regards

    I own a male that is 65 and a female that is 62. Biggest I have seen with my own two eyes.

    There is bigger- mayday was said to be around 75 on the chain.

    this dog was also around 70-75

    biggest I ever saw was a 1xw named Jake. He was conformationally corect and very leggy not real squatty. Kind of looked like a big horse. He was about 75 lbs on the chain. The biggest Game bred female I've ever seen was 65 lbs on the chain, also real leggy. Texas heat Kennels has some realy large stuff bred down from alligator and lionhead. The biggest gamebred dog I've ever heard of was Freeman's Preacher boy.http://www.apbt.online-pedigrees.com/public/printPedigree.php?dog_id=907 Rumor has it he was gigantic. I've never seen a pic though, so alot of it could have been hype. I've seen some of his offspring though, bred into some carver stuff. They usually run around 65 lbs also big lanky things. Basically to answer your question every big gamebred dog looks just like a little gamebred dog just bigger which makes them look like leggy horses :)

    To be honest I was not really asking about the difference in looks...but yes in temperament. I wish to do some kind of "statistics" and realize if bigger dogs are not as energic as smaller ones...not so hot acting etc. Since in looks they should be similar.
    I've realized that many big game bred dogs tend to have some mayday, Hank or some kind of boyles blood (I understand that Mr Boyles used a lot of Hank blood), although this bigger than usual dogs do not come out in the first 2 generations but only after that. My dog is Boyles/Frisco he is around 65 pounds (http://www.apbt.online-pedigrees.com/public/printPedigree.php?dog_id=271208) ...but he "thinks" he is 30 pounds...that together with other post made me curious about the above mentioned aspects.
    Thank you

    Regards
