Them are some savage looking APBTs. I feel ya on the part where you want your name respected along with your bloodline. Im thinking of getting a female soon. I have a male from the baytown kennel bloodline which came from a donimant line of boudreux and my 2nd male that comes from the Gaff' bloodline both purple ribbon. The mother of my Gaff is a showdog thats dueled registered under the akc and ukc. His great great greats grandmother, dont know exactly how far but is a famous gaff by the name of hurricane. Shes in a APBT book that you could get at any petstore. I like bulky APBT but imma old school fancier and i like my APBTs to look like their ancestors with a scrappy look.
