I posted the breeds on the page 6 I believe. He is a Staffordhsire Terrier 100%. He is just from a specific bloodline bred for size. Same as the dog in my Avatar. He is an above average sized APBT at 125lbs but he is an APBT non the less.

Edit: Common size for true Pits is still under 60lbs. Most bigger are actually Staffordshire Terriers.

Number 8 if we are talking about the same dog, the bottom row 1st dog (big buskin dog)on the left is does not appear to be a staffordshire terrier, But It's hard to tell. Most of the pitbull terriers of today are not what they once were. Pitbulls are bred for size now, when in fact they were not this size years ago. A 80 lb. dog back then was "uncommon", where now I've seen pits over 100lbs. The common size for pits back then was around 45 lbs.

Your "experiment" is flawed... A "Pitbull" is not a recognised breed...Ok, not counting the Hill billy backyard registry.
I cant help but wonder if you only come on here to promote your mongrels?

You are correct redddog, they are now recognised by the UKC...Looks fairly recent, a couple of years or so. Dont you find it a little unusual that they are the only ones doing it? I guess you cant blame a club for making a profit. So are you a member of the UKC?

The American Dog Breeders Association also recognizes American Pit Bull Terriers. www.adba.cc They have been recognizing the American Pit Bull since 1909.

In fact, here is a good history for you, taken from www.bulldogbreeds.com/americanpitbullterrier.html Please carefully read the first line, concerning the origins of the UKC. In case you are interested, wikepedia supports this statement on the origins of the UKC. You can find that information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kennel_Club

In 1898 the United Kennel Club was formed with the express intent of providing registration and fighting guidelines for the now officially-named American Pit Bull Terrier. Later, those who wished to distance themselves from the fighting aspect of the breed petitioned the American Kennel Club for recognition of the Pit Bull so that it would be eligible for dog shows and other performance events. The AKC conceded in 1936 but only under the stipulation that the dogs registered with them be called "Staffordshire Terriers", the name of the province in England the breed supposedly originated in. Upon acceptance of the breed, many people dual-registered their dogs with both the AKC and the UKC. Lucenay's Peter (the dog that starred in the Our Gang series) was the first dual-registered Pit Bull/Staffordshire Terrier. The UKC evolved, eventually beginning to register other working-type breeds, and later holding shows similar to those of the AKC. Currently, the UKC is the second largest purebred dog registry in the United States, complete with strict bylaws that ban anyone who is convicted of dog fighting. The American Dog Breeders Association was formed in 1909 because of certain fanciers' opinions that the UKC was not doing it's job protecting and preserving the Pit Bull breed as they felt it should be preserved. The ADBA's goal is the same now is at was then: to register, promote and preserve the original American Pit Bull Terrier fighting-type dog.

The AKC eventually closed it's studbooks to American Pit Bull Terriers. They allowed registration only to those dogs with parents registered as Staffordshire Terriers. For a short period in the 1970's, the AKC reopened its studbooks to American Pit Bull Terriers. In 1973 the AKC added the prefix "American" to the breed's name in an effort to distinguish it from the newly recognized Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Today, only those dogs with AmStaff parents are eligible for registration. Both the UKC and the ADBA allow registration of AmStaffs, but in these organizations the dogs carry the original name, "American Pit Bull Terrier."

The American Pitbull Terrier is recognized by the UKC, ADBA and the AKC under the name American Staffordshire Terrier. I know people with dogs that are dual registered. Pitbulls are not mongrels.
 
Bettas are notorious for fighting to the death if kept together, and unfortunately, have been exploited for these purposes. Early breeding of the fish focused on the pugnacious temperament and beautiful coloration of the species; the ingredients for a nasty fish fight. So, the modern-day Betta has had over a century of selective breeding to bring out the best and worst of these incredible freshwater fishes. It's probably here that I should mention that two male Siamese Fighters should never be kept together in the same aquarium.

Wow, sounds kind of like the story of the American Pitbull Terrier! Yeah, I know Bettas can't severely injure people, but you get the point! Pitbulls can be trained, Bettas are simply "seperated".
