jetro 5,349 Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Maybe someone can help me. I posted this in the terrier section, but no harm trying on that thread, I no one minds. I'm looking for a pitbull pup to replace my bitch I lost at the beginning of the year. I'm finding it difficult to source one. So if any one is planning a litter soon, and would have one to spare and wouldn't mind letting me know, id greatly appreciate it. Just looking for a nicely bred pup, for knocking about with while on walks up the hills and on the shore. Not after peds or named. Just one fit for function, athletic type. It would be going to an experienced home of working dogs. Atb j 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I looked around a small bit, but they seem thin on the ground, plenty of these xl bully type dogs. Not the type I'm after what so ever. Also from 2500 up,not worth it imo Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It would be wasted on me, since I don't work dogs anymore. This one would be more for company and knocking about with than anything else. Also always like the bulls.

Are you trying to say the lads in the States are lying about the line still throwing game dogs? From what I've read the Colby's are very careful with who they deal with, in the area where they live there has been lots of raids taking place. By all accounts they have no mouth and no wind, game or not you won't get very far with no ability. The lads have admitted in their pure form they probably couldn't compete in the fast lane. Why would i be looking im not in the game i can only go by what people who are and have been in the game recently have told me. So the Colbys say they are game,and the people who like Colby dogs say they are game.....oh well thats it then point proved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well there you have it, at least you have about as much knowledge on Colby dogs as me then. I can only go by what I have heard, that they still throw game dogs that are not used in their pure form because they lack other qualities. That people have also used them as an outcross not too long ago, dog men like Fat Bill. So you and your pals say they aren't game, must be true then.

The last Colby crosses I heard of doing decent were colby bitches bred to a son off jeep.They are long gone and I didn't see them. SIXBITS was bred to some Colby bitches but was mediocre at best. In my opinion the best from this country wasn't made available to other Americans or British. As with most dogmen some of the best was never heard of as they didn't want to be heard of.That doesn't change their win record into fastlane. One of the most competitive kennels here in 80-90s.Their bloodline was started from a bitch they bought from a drunken rodeo clown. 3 of the most winning kennels of 90s barely kept peds except in their head. And before anyone thinks that jeep was a Colby cross research Bo's ped.Its basically common knowledge here that he is Cotton's Bullet bred. Just my opinions Did you used to go on Mayfields old board mate ?....do you remember the black fella who was constantly arguing with Kershner about all that old Tudor blood he bred the Roderick dog that Elliot bred back to a Sixbits bitch i forget her name now but a chap i used to know obsessed with Colby blood had a pup sent to Europe billed as supposedly the best Colby blood outside the Usa....apparently none of the litter made the grade the one brought over here ended up in a pet home as she was cold as a cucumber the whole litter was a disaster....the black fella blamed it on the Sixbits blood he was a character. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even if you saw one that doesn't really mean much does it? The line has been peddled till the sun don't shine. You don't have a clue what's going on in the States, I'd say they have more info on what's going off over there. When numerous people claim they make a good outcross and well known dogmen have used them as such then I'll take their word over an English lad off here. You specifically said they are not game, a very bold statement to make IMO. Edited June 18, 2020 by Greb147 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Next time I'll ask them to run through it with you first. Edited June 18, 2020 by Greb147 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
