Awww yes, the X-Pert line had some very great looking dogs! I visited that site not too long ago and I love the old school pics. Both our pooches have a few X-Pert ancestors! They both lead back to X-Pert's Black Ace II.


That's rediculas about the disrespect you recieved. Our girl Onyx has CH PR Booker's Ike (he is owned by the founder of the AAPBA registry, and in AAPBA is what they based their standard off of, in AAPBA he is Ntl Breed CH) Anyways, I wrote them and asked if they'd be willing to send me a pic of him, cuz Onyx is heavily influenced by him and I'm very interested in seeing him. Well, they wrote back saying that he is now 14yrs old and that all of his old pics were destroyed in a house fire except for a few that they had to 'search for and it might take awhile'... I let them know, that an elder pic would be fine, and I've tried messaging them (it being like half a yr later and not hearing anything) and they completely ignore every message. Also another reason I like the APBR, you ask a question and you get an answer... no matter how many you ask, and believe me I've asked a lot. Anyways, I know how ya feel about the disrespect issue. Really makes me mad cuz they were so nice, yet so rude as to not even respond. I even told them if they didn't want to send the pic, that would be perfectly fine. Just makes me mad I even registered my pooches through them.


Also, I love how you all out cross your line! You're dogs lead back to great bloodlines.... LOVE the Colby line, who doesn't lol. Thanx for posting a new topic!

Hey, I was doing some research and finding some more topics to add to this group when I came across the 'Old Family Reds' topic that I added. While reading through it I noticed the name Dan McCoy and was wondering if his line has relation to your line or if he is one of your relatives. Check it out, just thought that was kinda kool and that you might be interested in that.... but you probably already know lol.

That's pretty awesome that your family has been breeding APBT's since way back in the day and you have some info. on it... I wish my family bred APBTs and was known as one of the greats lol. That's Bad A that you have people like him in your family and you too, can carry on the name/bloodline!

You can give her a bath with whatever Dog shampoo you use on her. Allow the shampoo to sit for about 2min. Then take some distilled white vinegar and poor it liberally starting behind her ears all the way down to her tail. All the vinegar and shampoo to set for 5min. Then rinse. This is a natural, more efficient alternative to the more expensive dips and other treatments.

Try this I tried this out when I my friend had a issue with mites, also make sure its not red ants bitting your dog, that could also be a issue if your kennel isn't cemented.

Mites are insects that live on your dog. Microscopic members of the arachnid family, mites burrow under your dog's skin and lay their eggs. In small quantities, your dog won't even notice they are there. However, when the population begins to grow, the result can be inflamed, reddened patches of skin and incessant scratching. In the case of ear mites, a noticeable odor may come from the dog's ears, while the ear canals appear red and irritate

 
Treat ear mites with mineral oil. Using a small eyedropper, place 3 to 5 drops of warm mineral oil into the dog's ear canal. Gently massage the dog's ear to help work the oil in. Wait 2 hours, then wipe the dog's ear out with a cotton swab, tissue or cotton ball. Repeat this procedure twice a week for at least 3 weeks.
 
Take care of skin mites with a soothing ointment. Combine 1 cup calamine lotion, 1 cup aloe vera gel, and 1 cup soluble sulphur. Mix until well blended, then transfer the remedy to a large pan. Add 1 gallon distilled water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pan and allow the contents to simmer for 30 minutes. Allow the contents to cool, then apply the resulting mite treatment to your dog's fur. Make sure the dog is well coated, including the feet and the skin between the toes. Do not rinse the treatment off; allow the dog to dry naturally. Repeat the procedure once a week for 3 to 4 weeks.
 
Save yourself some money by washing your dog in medicated shampoo and then coating him with petroleum jelly. The thick coating of jelly smothers the skin mites and alleviates skin irritation. Shampoo the dog and reapply the petroleum jelly, ensuring you have completely covered the tail and exterior of the ears, every other day for at least 2 weeks.
 
Rub an over-the-counter acne cream over the affected areas. Check the label to be certain the medication's active ingredient is benzoyl peroxide. A 5 percent concentration should be enough to kill any surface mites. Apply the acne cream three times a week for 2 weeks.
 
Get rid of harvest mites with using a prescription preventative medication such as Revolution or Frontline. This medication is applied once a month and will protect your dog from mites and fleas. The contents are applied directly to the skin, between the dog's shoulder blades, and within 2 hours can be safely exposed to water with no need for reapplication.
