DOG WORLD
AUGUST 1950

Please note that W. M. Whitaker, who was instrumental in the AKC recognition and early development of the "Staffordshire terrier" was one of the most vocal and aggressive enemies of the foundation stock of his dogs - the American pit bull. His theory that those breeding American pit bulls paid "little attention to bloodlines" is ludicrous. There have been no more carefully bred dogs in the past 200 years than gamebred American pit bulls. Strange indeed, that the very UKC dogs which he badmouths are the same dogs his "well bred" Am Staffs are directly bred from!
