How many generations can y ou go back?

For your dogs peds..with proof...how many can most go back?

Or rather, how many should you BE ABLE to go back....

Just a little educational info here.....
thanks folks!

 

GREAT topic! princess boudicca could EASILY! have a 20generation pedigree meaning there would be over 2,097,152 ancestors! the best part is once you start getting into the latter generations there ALL called pitbull this and that! in england you were only aloud to call your dog a pitbull if it had fought and won in a pit. GREAT STUFF!

 

well here in america we don't call them pit bulls. we call them American Pit Bull Terriers.

edit: btw how did you come up with that number from a 20 generation ped? lol over 2 million? hmmmmmmmmm

 

i can go back to every dog i have ever had on my yard as breeding stock.now by this i mean since i keep most all of what i breed everydog on my yard i can go back to my very first brood bitch and stud dog and then of course what was behind them.i keep very meticlious records wich is why i am so very protective of them.

 

Anybody else have any input...

 

over 2 million???


.....i have 4........

 

It's difficult to go back very far with real proof. There is a lot of trust involved with any given pedigree. To personally witness every breeding and whelping past the 5th or 6th generation of a dog's pedigree is an extremely rare thing.
I think it's very misleading that such a high percentage of Game-Dog users answered "12 or more" in the poll.

 

I understasnd exactly what you are saying......

but to just have at least access to it though, is what I meant..

We know nothing back that far can 100% be accurate at all times...but to have access....

 

a seven generation has 257 ancestors
a ten has 2048
a fifteen 65, 536
a twenty generation pedigree has 2,097,152

my dogs pappers are NEVER ending! there 5 generation . you get to the 5th row and theres 32dogs, each one of these dogs you can trace back another 4-5+ pedigrees each one 5 generation. with every pedigree having 32 dogs to follow its pedigree make its pritty much never ending. but theres alot of the samedogs in those pedigrees as we would only breed with the best dogs!

 

i understood what u meant. i also see what rockstar is saying though. the accuracy of any pedigree could always be questioned. after all people will be people....and paper hanging has been around longer than any of us.

 

you better go do your math again.

 

3 gens back with dna proof, unless you bred all the dogs you own this the only proof

 

this was taken from colbys site!

 

can you PROVE you papers are REAL and not just made up? whats a handfull of generations! i could create a perfected cross in 3 generations. get a red nosed lab cross it with my dog then the pup that is born that looks like a pitbull the MOST breed that with another pure breed pitbull and you will breed the faults out the cross and have a GREAT red nosed dog that is a couple of inchs taller with a red nose.

 

Can YOU prove your dogs are pure?

These dogs been around for hundreds of years. That is ALOT longer than you have been on this earth. What about the dogs from your stock? How do you know that a dog hasn't been crossed into your stock before you got your hands on them? YOU CAN'T!

So it is impossible for you to answer your own question. Get your head out of your ass!

Once again, if your staffy bulls are so bad ass, people would be using them instead of the AMERICAN Pit Bull Terrier. Your people started it and we perfected it. Accept it.

 

can you read?

and as far as the crossing into lab blah blah blah.....i'm sorry but that's got to be one of the stupidist things i've ever read on here.

 

According to his earlier post Tommy...
He is approx. 115 to 120 years old.....

To long if you ask me thats why he's banned

 

THANK YOU MARTY....Love ya for it......EVERYONE WILL!
