Eddington blood line?

Not to make any trouble, but I am seriously interested if any one knows what is up with these dogs? I inquired about some puppies yesterday, the guy emailed me back with his website and well, I will not be purchasing a puppy. The male was huge and looked like a mastiff. I have read mixed reviews in the past, some people swear it is simply an "Eddington" trait.

 

After Edgar Eddington was the national weight pulling champion for 12 years in a row, he was given the go ahead to cross the American Bulldog, and Dog de Bordeaux into his Freeman bloodline pit bulls. He was given a single registry for "Wanna be a Whopper" and the Eddington line of XXL pit bulls was born.

Since then the line has been bred back into quality(larger) pit bull bloodlines and has been dominating weight pull circles.

There is a great deal of controversey surrounding these dogs, in fact Mr. Eddington was actually beaten to death with his own weight pull trophy. His murder has never been solved.

My ADBA registered pit bull has the "whopper" in his pedigree 5 generations back on his dams' top side.

Other than being 80lbs at 10 months, my dog appears to be all pit bull....but the truth is that Eddington pit bulls are mixed.

That is very good information to know! I have heard very mixed reviews from all sides. I have always personally wanted a bull mastiff but HE says no way they are ugly! LOL I think they are beautiful. I know it's a different dog from a mastiff but I like them all. It surely makes a little bit more sense to me now and I appreciate you sharing your infomation.


:eek: Beaten to death with his own trophy!!! THAT'S BRUTAL!!

 

Yes, it is amazing just how worked up people get about this subject. At first I of course did not want to believe my registered dog is mixed, but after researching and looking at the dogs(not mine but tight bred Eddingtons) it is the only logical conclusion. The info I posted originally came from Tommygun of Motorcity Pits in Michigan.

I have no plans to breed him or anything so it makes no difference, he is without a doubt the smartest pit bull I have owned.(he is my 3rd) and is strikingly handsome.

I'm on the same venture with the watchdog bloodline. Any info on whether or not they're mixed? PM me, don't wanna hijack the thread.

 

Eddington did have pure game bred pit bulls early on but as the story above states, he was given the go ahead to do the cross. He brought alot of money into the ADBA so I'm sure they permitted this even though it has been denied. I don't think Eddington ever denied it but the ADBA sure did. No matter what......the Eddinton dogs are indeed mixes and are nothing close to a APBT! I once seen a Red Brindle Eddington dog at a dog show that weighed 180 lbs! This dog was more Mastiff than anything. I doubt those dogs have 10% APBT in them these days! It's pathetic and completely dishonest that they are still being registered as APBT's and the ADBA should be ashamed!

not just beaten to death with his trophy but the person who done it plugged his ass with it before tossing him out of the upstairs window

^^^^ apparently not:eek:

 

The whole entire Eddington story is interesting in itself did I also mmentiont hat he is not a pure bred APBT he cheated also getting ebat with his OWN trophy now that's a bit much don't you agree?

 

You can easily tell that he was mix he was big and bigger then your average APBT

 

oh wait my abd that was the owner that got beaten

 

I didn't knwoa ll that now!! This is new to me just goes to show don't play

 

We got some Wise and Creed blood that came down from Spaulding and Eddington Blood,but does not look like no mastiff our dogs are about 30-40 lbs
