Default When does the size of a Pit Bull concern you?
I have a freiend who told me once that anything over (I think she said 65 pounds) wasnt a true Pit Bull. She is extreemly knowledgeable about game dogs and such; but I had to differ with her on that opinion.

I have a friend who had a very well bred game dog once who was a little over 100 pounds. I knew a lot of dogs in this particular dogs pedigree. I knew a lot of the people responsible for his breeding and I dont believe anything was falsified along the line. Dsepite that, she said he definitely wasnt pure.

I myself start questioning the purity of gameness after about 80 pounds but I think that just as there are some giants that crop up with people, there can be genetic freak giants crop up with dogs.

The thing about this dog that convinced me was his appearance. He wasnt a fat wide dog. He could have won in conformation. If you took a conformation champion and put them on a zerox machine and blew them up, that is what he looked like.

I remember hog dogs back in the 70s being up to 100 pounds. They were said to be Mastif crosses . As far as I can remember back then, 35 was small, 45-60 was normal, 65-80 was large and anything else was rare
