The notion of a pure bred APBT without game testing in some ways just seems like an oxymoron to me, and focusing on registry papers seems counter to the working nature of the dogs. I would also like to remind people that Lou Colby bred a dog that killed his nephew. Not to take away from all the great dogs he produced but it does demonstrate the regardless of the bloodline, there are good and bad dogs.

No one is making a issue or distinction concerning papers except you, the OP of this thread and maybe a couple of others. Don't kid yourself for a minute to think that I don't know AND intimately understand that papers don't make the dog OR a good dog is where you find it. As far as misunderstanding your posts ... I understand them completely.

Now moving on ... you need to get your facts straight before spouting of about a respected man such as Lou Colby, who's shoes you could never walk in. The incident you speak of happened LOOOooong before Lou Colby was even born. The incident happened at his father's home when his father, John P Colby, lived on Franklin Street. John P Colby's sister was visiting with her child (Mr Colby's nephew). The child left unattended ... wandered into one of the kennels out back and was killed. There was no witness to the incident and no one knows how it happened or what caused it inside the supposed secure kennel. And that was just over a hundred years ago.
