Im guessing that would be Nikki ?.....of folk who were around in the late 80's who i may occasionally still have a natter with most say she was the best bitch they ever saw.

 

I know very little about these dogs...but that bitch really stands out...looks aren't everything I suppose, but she really looks the part

i was told some very good bull crosses in the 80s came out of mayfield dogs from Plymouth

He was the start of the Red Strain Staffords that were popular through the years.....i have a youngster here now with Red Warrior way back in his ped.

I vaguely remember the dog I was only a young kid at the time,i remember the son and a couple of daughters off the dog,I spent a lot of time around then dog's as a kid we used to be out the back garden alone playing with 4 or 5 them and them dog's never showed any aggression towards us not matter how much we pulled out of them,and they got out infront of us one day and nailed a big dog on the road I'd never seen anything like it,he told me the story on the dog and how he came to sell it,he said he got the dog off a fella called Tony Lee,and he never planned on selling him and said he refused to sell it to Dann a few time's,and said one day he was after having an argument with his Mrs and was heading out the door to the pub and as Dann was walking into his garden and he sold him in temper,he said he always regretted selling him

Only my opinion mate.....but yes the outcrossing of 2 inbred dogs with the same genetic starting point.

id agree mate it works in the coursing dogs aswell

Nice little story that thanks for sharing it....im pretty sure Red Warrior sired Mo Danns Rocky who in turn produced Red Joe who was spoken about earlier,though i might be wrong...and then of course Springview took those Staffords to another level in my opinion....Mo had all sorts at his place i remember a few of us going down there mid 80's he had digging Terriers,Staffords,Pigeons,Roosters the lot.....all i was interested in was the Pit Bulls though i remember at one point he had a great big catmill made up like what Don Mayfield used to condition dogs on it was brilliant i thought id died and gone to heaven at that point of life....especially having to come back to my shitty little 2 up 2 down in Bethnal Green

It's called line breeding lol.. and works with all stock. Terriers  hounds strong dogs, horses racing pigeons...

i know lol

it produces better animals for graft then inbreeding 

[gnasher16 30,095]

How can it be called line breeding if its 2 different inbred lines............its called what it is.....outcrossing inbred dogs.

there from the same family tree 

outcrossing would be going to something that hasn’t any blood the same in it 

or how i thought lol
