Whelped Sep 2011. Weighs 47 pounds, is registered with and is within UKC, ADBA and AADR American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) breed standards. Pure Colby bloodline top and bottom all the way back, no outs or crosses. Like owning a piece of history. Ribbons from ADBA and AADR at sanctioned point events (posted pic of ADBA ribbons earlier). Never any UKC events around here. Don't show him anymore anyway. He isn't a show dog and I never intended to campaign him. Still isn't old enough to breed nor will he ever beOh...

EDIT: I've posted puppy pics and younger adult pics. Just a couple of current ones. Maybe what you've seen are a younger Mason. Dunno. Those two above are younger ones I just pulled up. Think he weighed 43-45 in those too.

I assumed female. My apologies.
I assume exercise is more athletic and less tug-o-war-ish?
My little guy is presumably APBT, AMStaff mixed.
Seller proclaimed mom as a red nose and dad as AMStaff.
I consider Max a rescue as he was sold in a Wally World parking lot at 6 weeks, barely kept and inundated with hook and round worms.
He was deathly lethargic until we could get him to the vet.
Now he's unstoppable.
But what a sweetheart!

Bless ya for giving Max a good home. Thank you. Without a pedigree, it's all just a guess and what they said to peddle a pup.
I suppose Mason is a bit on the terrier side of APBT some might say. Mason would likely look a bit blockier if his ears were cropped like is popular in the UKC and AKC. He's more what the ADBA and AADR likes, than a blockier, heavier boned and cropped UKC APBT or AKC Amstaff dog ... or Ambully for that matter ... or what mainstream media and the general public thinks an APBT looks like or what commonly sells at Wally World.
Being from a linebred bloodline that is over a hundred years old, with no outs or crosses with other APBT bloodlines, Mason is much like the APBT you'd see getting off a boat in Boston, from Ireland and England around the turn of the 19th century. John Colby started the Colby APBT off in the 1890's. His son Lou bred the Colby dogs after his return from WWII and up until his passing in 2011. Mason is from one of the last of Lou's approved breedings. Yeah, Mason is an APBT, but he's also a "Colby dog"... the oldest continuously bred, pure APBT bloodline.. Those who know the bred would almost certainly detect that, at a glance or strongly suspect it LOL.
And you'll find Colby in virtually every other APBT bloodline and pedigree at one point or another. Especially in the earlier days, dogmen liked to incorporate Colby into their yard. The Colby bloodline lost favor with many dogmen who matched dogs, around sometime in the early 1960's.
Mason just comes from a line of pure Colby ... from Colby to Colby all the way down the line. A pure line, bred for over a hundred years by only two men, father and son. A line known as a line of fighting dogs back in the day when John Colby had them, but also renowned as family dogs, pets and companions. I have a record of Mason's pedigree going back over 25 generations. Nothing but Colby and the earlier 19th century dogs owned by European immigrants and brought to America.

Dog ears, just like tails are so expressive. Ear and tail cropping should be illegal. Especially ear cropping is a very painful operation and is only done for owners. There is no reason for ear cropping other than to make dogs look mean.
So glad Mason has both intact.

Had to go back and look at this one again. I prefer the nautilus Mini over the full size and this set up is just classic. Very Nice !!!Vapin... Old Skool
Would be nice to have a ring. Was never able to get one. They were always sold out and now discontinued.
Provari tank ring. The other day I found a shop in AUS that had one left but he would not ship out of country. That's the kind of luck with them I always have.
Thank you Bea !!! Mason ... well, Mason is a dual registered U.K.C. and ADBA American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT). DNA on file. And NO, I have no intentions of ever breeding him.
His bloodline is pure Colby top and bottom, no outs or crosses, documented and traceable all the way back to the late 19th century when John Colby started his stewardship of the APBT breed. John's son, Lou, took over the Colby dogs following his return from WWII. Lou passed away in 2011. For over 100 years only two men raised and bred THE Colby family dogs in Newburyport MA. Mason is from a litter "bred in memory of Lou Colby". The litter was whelped two months after Lou Colby passed away and the breeding had had Lou's blessing. I was a moderator on a popular APBT dog forum and someone hooked me up with one of the last of Lou's pups.
Thing is, owning Mason is like owning a piece of history. Mason's conformation and temperament isn't exactly what judges are looking for in the modern APBT, but he definitely does resemble, and his temperament definitely is that of many of the dogs that started the APBT breed off. Besides that, Mason never really cared for the show ring and I found out early on. It wasn't fun for him, so I stopped showing him before he championed out. It meant nothing to Mason LOL. I never intended to campaign him anyway. All I ever wanted was a family pet and companion for which the Colby dogs are renowned. He surely is a grand champion at that !!!
There aren't ever any U.K.C. sanctioned events anywhere near us, so I only showed him at ADBA point shows, mostly in Chipley Florida and one event in Birmingham Alabama. He did okay, just I could tell it wasn't fun for him and meant nothing to him. He'd just as rather stayed at home with me and Sugar, playing in the backyard. I'm okay with that too
That precious
Absolutely without question in my experience. Never made sense to me either, but I can think of at least two other mini/full size various vendor iterations of tanks and the mini versions always had the better flavor. Don't know why but I suspect ... too much science LOL
Creme de Vape is still showing the Svoe Provari ring in stock.
