DIFFERENT
KINDS OF BREEDING BY VILLA
The most important thing in the breeding selection in Villa
When the moment arrives for selecting dogs for the
Villa Liberty kennels reproduction (really will be those that will give
continuity in which to quality about in the APBT of our kennel in the future),
we chose those dpgs that show to us of several forms
dominance in its genes, of the desirable characters that we want to fix to our
dogs, especially the intelligence gene. This way to work, crossing the best to
best under our point of view, is what it assures to us that our APBT in the
future will maintain the quality that as much we like of them and this makes
feel us very well with ourself.
Besides the intelligence gene, we maintain in our dogs
other genes or links of the genotype
quite important for us, that fixing them all together constitute the
chain of the elite American Pit Bull Terrier; The Brilliance or Light, intelligence, bravery, tenacity, balance, attitude-positive personality, ability, endurance, and
strong grip. About the standards of our APBTs, we look
for them to adjust to a functional
phenotype proportionated that allows him to combine agility-power
(ADBA or FIAPBT) and a good bone
structure. Beauty is not something we look for in our dogs, if we did so,
our dogs will lose other desirable traits for a variety of functions.
Our dogs live in kennels holding the hard climatology of the madrilenian countryside, much ice in winter and much heat
in summer, humidities, airs and all type of
disadvantages of this hard madrilenian climatology.
In the following picture, you can appreciate Villa Liberty kennels in
2006 winter, where the American Pit Bull Terrier is almost imperceptible by the
frozen time even being within the objective of the camera. Minimally it is
possible to be appreciated that some of these dogs are seated so calm and happy
watching the winter landscape from their kennels as if nothing had happened.
The previous night from when this picture was taken, the thermometer marked 20
degrees below cero (-20º), a temperature that few dogs could hold to survive in
the same conditions, nevertheless no dog of Villa Liberty kennels to take cold
or constipated that winter of 2006. Circumstantial tests of the nature in the
good or bad breeding genetic, where simply it comes to confirm us of another
different way that we go by good way and this makes us feel very well.
The studs of Villa Liberty Kennels have been those we considered the best overall, after studying them in
the aspects explained before, so that we could fixed
the desirable traits into their offspring, which will represent Villa Liberty kennels
around the five continents.
During 24 years continuous
and without interruptions working around this wonderful and noble breed, the 14
generations of APBTs by means of the selection of the
best, guarantees our work, thanks to the support of
our “dogs of Light”.
THE TWO MOST USED KINDS OF
BREEDINGS BY VILLA
1) Inbreeding: We use this kind of breeding
after noticing the extraordinary qualities and virtues of one of our American Pit
Bull Terriers that we want to preserve even if the animal is no longer alive or
cannot be bred for any reason.
Even if the APBT with the desirable traits is deceased for decades,
using inbreeding we can maintain
these genetics for a long period of time, as long as we are healthy enough to
continue with the passion of the breeding of the APBT. We can also use the
inbreeding to cleanse or to purify our genetics of undesirable
traits. We have to take into account that using this method of breeding can also
double the undesirable traits if we don´t do it correctly.
We use the best studs to improve the quality of the whole Villa Liberty
family more than improving just a single dog. This is more advisable and offers
more guaranties. By using the inbreeding we increase the dominance of the desirable traits we want our stud dogs to pass
on to their offspring.
We carry out the inbreeding when the mating is done by the first
generation, and it has 6 different combinations. The first three are first degree inbreeding: father and
daughter, son and mother, and sister and brother. The other three are second degree inbreeding: half brother
and half sister, uncle with nephew, and nephew and aunt.
An example of first degree
inbreeding APBT is the following:
VILLA LIBERTY´S RED PIT 3 (97´5%
Red Pit)
The goal of RED PIT 3,inbreeding is clearly fixed by the genetics of RED
PIT DE VILLA LIBERTY .
RED PIT 3’s example is the culmination of a very strong and
charged inbreeding, which has given very positive results in Villa Liberty
Kennel. But it is important to recognize that there was a high level of risk of
failure in achieving this, and we do not recommend to
adventure yourself in such a closed inbreeding unless you have the
necessary knowledge, means and experience. And why not, we must say you also
need a good amount of luck. VIDEO
“RED PIT 3”.
Another example of first degree
inbreeding is the following:
VILLA LIBERTY´S RED DIBO (100% Carver)
RED DIBO’s parents are brothers to the same parents, and those parents are also
brothers to the same parents. RED DIBO’s example is the culmination of a quite strong inbreeding that luckily is
giving great results in the reproduction of this genetics. Thanks to the inbreeding, RED DIBO’s genetics has a 50% of Bullyson, 50% of Midnight
Cowboy, 50% of Hand’s Candy, 50% of Hand’s Happy Jack, and
50% of Lee’s Cowgirl. Looking at these facts, in genetic terms, RED DIBO can be considered a direct son of Midnight Cowboy
and Hand’s Candy, as well as Bullyson’s. RED DIBO has a 45% of Tudor´s “Dibo” ‘s genetics, almost as if he was a direct son of
him. Taking into consideration he died 51 years ago (1958), this can be
considered an extraordinary fact under knowledgeable dogman’s
eyes. This amaizing 45 % of Tudor´s “Dibo” that RED DIBO has, is only exceeded by “Mr. Ronnie” ‘s 52,58 %.
Another example of
first degree inbreeding is of the
following APBT:
VILLA LIBERTY´S BOUDREAUX (87´5% Carver)
BOUDREAUX ‘s inbreeding´s goal, is clearly set by a fixation of the
excellent couple BOUDREAUX'
SKULL X BOUDREAUX' SCREAM, due to the fact that it has all the genetic
doors of their upward braches closed to these two specimens, having a 62´5% of BOUDREAUX' SKULL and a 37´5 of BOUDREAUX' SCREAM. It is also important to
mention the not insignificant 43% of BOUDREAUX'
MAVERICK. ‘S genetics.
A second
example of second degree inbreeding, we have it in “Mr.
Ronnie” considering
that his father is his mother’s nephew:
VILLA LIBERTY´S TUDOR DIBO (R Gang Mr. Ronnie) (100%
Carver)
“Mr. Ronnie” has in his
genetics the highest existing percentage of any APBT able to breed, with a
52´58% of TUDOR'S “DIBO”, who in my opinion is the best APBT of all times.
Curiously we can notice in “Mr. Ronnie”’s
genealogy,
Maurice Carver’s signature in the elaboration a genetic selection with the APBTs. This consisted on a strong genetic contribution of his most precious dogs such
as CARVER´S
“SATCH”, CARVER
“BLOODY SUNDAY”, CARVER'S
“IRONHEAD” , CARVER'S
“MEANIE”, WALLING'S “BULLYSON”, CARVER'S
“MISS SPIKE”, ART'S “MISSY”
(CARVER) , TUDOR'S “SPIKE”, CARVER'S
BLACK WIDOW, CARVERS BLACK GIRL, and of course,
the legendary
TUDOR'S “DIBO”, http://www.villaliberty.org/laleyenda.html
Another example of
second degree inbreeding is found in
“TOP SECRET”´s genetics,
where his parents are half brothers on their father’s side.
VILLA LIBERTY´S TOP
SECRET (A.W. MC COOL) (100% Carver)
“TOP SECRET” has
a quite considerable percentage of CARVER'S STOMPANATO, with a beautiful touch of CARVER´S BOOMERANG (Davis), which makes him a very adequate stud for the conservation of
Maurice Carver dogs’ genetics in Villa Liberty Kennels.
The
inbreeding highlights the
good qualities as well as the bad ones. It is a double edged knife, but it is
the best tool a breeder can use to
cleanse or to purify his dogs’
blood, of the undesirable traits, and at the same time, can fix the desirable ones.
Inbreeding, in general terms, means a more dominant breeding and more capable of transmitting the
genetics to the offspring than outcrossing.
Because of the later, when a serious breeder carries
out his first inbreeding, it is fundamental to keep the whole litter until they
have grown to their first year of age. All this, in order to make sure that the
results are the expected ones, and that no health or character problems are
present. Not doing so, will pass these problems to the future owners, and
that wouldn’t be fair to them nor to the dogs. Evenly, any responsible breeder
should do this at any time he experiments an unknown phase of inbreeding.
We do not recommend doing this kind of breeding unless
the proper knowledge, experience and means are met. This is necessary to
guarantee a minimum of success in achieving the expected in what physical and
psychological health is concerned. We neither recommend doing this breeding
without having almost perfect genotypic
and phenotypic APBTs.
2) Outcross: We utilize this breeding when the inbreeding in our dogs is to saturated or closed, and so there are
a few chances to continue in this direction. With the outcross breeding we clean up and oxygenate a saturated blood
by opening it up, so that later on we can close it down again. This way we
can preserve our APBT family for years not only without damaging it, but
actually we can substantially improve it. This is a well kept secret that old
dog men have used to preserve their genetics, and we at Villa Liberty, are
pleased share it with those who enjoy this marvelous and noble canine breed.
An example of Outcross we
have it in the following APBT:
RED PIT DE VILLA LIBERTY (75% Carver)
RED PIT
, comes from very good opened genetic combination that combines Midnight
Cowboy with Hand’s Candy, Pat Patrick’s dogs, Cooper and Orday.
It also brings the best British APBTs by the mother’s
side which are represented by its double great grandfather WELLER´S EVIL JIM .
The opened blood and the great quality that RED PIT ‘s blood has, made him a magnificent stud. This great variety of
genetics was the key to perfectly combine it with other closed genetics, and as
a result, he gave very good quality litters. LAST VIDEO OF “RED
PIT” with
almost 15 years old.
Another example of Outcross
breeding we have it in CH PATCHES, whose parents belong to different families.
CH PATCHES, is the result of a fusion
in the genetics of CARVER and that of RED PIT, which offered us great results
in working sports. CH PATCHES has quite dominant genetics, through which, he
transmits to his offspring an extreme intelligence and a great vitality and
energy, the later being a characteristic of dogs coming from outcross breeding.
