Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

I saw some pics of him on another forum from a show a while back, great looking dog and I'm usually not a fan of cropped dogs but looks good on him.

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

I never could understand why they don't show staffs in that condition. When the heck did they start thinking fat was the way to go? :confused: It's really bizarre.

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

I have shown him in the UKC/ABDA ring, a UKC judge once told me he was a great looking dog, but she thought I was underfeeding him!!

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

Nice looking dog!

I've been told the same thing with my boy in UKC. One judge even said I really like your dog and I would have gave him first if he had 5 more pounds on him.

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

I was SO thinking about you while I was typing that! lol

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

LOL Zoe

It's sickening how fat some of the dogs out there are kept...and then the people think it's muscle not fat, lol

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

And people think conditioned dogs are anorexic. :rolleyes: It's like calling Bruce Lee anorexic and someone that needs to be cut out of their house and athlete. lol

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

have you ever seen super size me!!! America likes there dogs like they like there asses! Wide!

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

Nice looking boy

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

Is he Amstaff? I didn't think a amstaff could show in the adba. I saw the pedigree but don't know anything about amstaff bloodlines. I thought those were game dog lines. But then I don't know a whole lot about those either. The only ones I am familiar with are ukc pedigrees. And I am still learning on those. I would rather just go with knowing what I think a good dog should look like than what is on a piece of paper.

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

By the way, he is beautiful.

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

An AmStaff could show in ADBA. ADBA accepts papers from UKC (and AKC too I think) so it wouldn't be hard to dual register. One of my dogs is a POS and he is shown in UKC/ADBA/AADR.

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

POS ? Can someone inform my dumb a$$?

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

LOL Buck, he's a Pit/Staff...his bottom side is mixed with some AST. Got him before I knew much, he's still a great dog though

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

Cheers! Like the Featured boy of this thread. they are Sharp looking for sure!

Do they have the drive like a Pitbull? I've heard they more mellow or lethargic? Not exactly creditable source by any means tho lol
just curios

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

It's a crazy combo. . Razor's Edge Throwin Knuckles and Colby blood. But, you know Knuckles was when Razors edge wasn't too far removed from game blood. . now they are all wide chests and short stocky elbowed beasts.

I have seen many dogs sired by Knuckles who looked very much like bulldogs.

This boy here is beautiful.

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

Very nice male you have there!

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

looks in great shape, dont know why but champion homer poped into my head when i look at the dogs chest and ears .

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

Thank you all for your comments. I am proud to own this little guy. He has a big heart.

To answer a few questions, on his diet. Kibble and 1 raw egg with shell daily to help his coat. Raw egg is excellent source of protein and helps coat.

Buck E. Ownens Thank you for your compliments, and yes I am sure staff have drive like any other dogs, dont believe everything you hear LOL

General- That is a BIG compliment

Stop BSL- On RE Throwing Knuckles, I have heard lots of stories, but dont believe everything I hear LOL. I will leave that one alone.

AKC doest not register/recognize ADBA/UKC

ADBA/UKC accepts/recognizes AKC

 

Re: Captain "JACK" Sparrow criticism welcomed

Very strange pedigree. I've never seen so much Minot Ledge blood in one dog. I'm surprised your guy has as much leg as he does. I know a bunch of the dogs in the ped, about 8 of the great-great-grandparents. I also know Jane and Knuckles, lots of amstaff, lots of thick dogs.
If you breed this dog, and like his length of leg, be aware that w/the exception of the Colby dogs, and Warlock's Clarisse, these dogs are more inclined to be short and thick.
I am impressed, not to sound like a total ass, but he's a much nicer dog than his pedigree would predict.
