In order to facilitate the genetic study of our dogs and the breed itself, also we add to the fans the Online Pedigree database to facilitate his study, because the Online Pedigree could facilitate the genetic study those fans, which are accustomed to do it through of this database. However we must clarify, that this database the genetic study is more confusing, more annoying, more incomplete and less reliable by various factors, which come it because of malicious and unscrupulous people, who for various dark interests them stain and harm the honorable name and efforts being made for over 10 years ago by the Online Pedigree owner. These negative and various factors that are affecting the database Online Pedigree, for the experimented dogman in the breed genetics and those who have been affected directly in them, is well known it for them, and they know very well what we are talking about. Some of these negative factors are for example: Registers of mixed dogs like pure APBT; Registers of Bullies or similars like pure APBT; Fake registers of dogs that do not correspond with the reality; Registers of dogs that no exists to deceive or swindle to the fans; Be made countless of duplicate records for the same dog with dark purposes, etc., etc. These drawbacks in the database FIAPBT Pedigree Online are very low or zero, due to the strict monitoring and control that is constantly performed by dogman amply qualified to preserve the breed purity.

DIFFERENT KINDS OF BREEDING BY VILLA LIBERTY KENNELS. (Dic.2008) (Updated on march 22, 2021)

 

The most important thing in the breeding selection in Villa Liberty kennels and continuing the way of selection of this breed dog since its origin, is to reproduce American Pit Bull Terrier with an exceptional disposition in the relation with the people. In Villa Liberty Kennels, the most important factor in the breeding of the American Pit Bull Terrier is the focus on the conservation of old days’ original and most pure genetics, in order to congeal it or to conserve it intact during the major number of years that are possible to us. We also are guided by the class and chaste (by work and sport endurance), all of it within a balance of all aspects of the animal.

 

When the moment arrives for selecting dogs for the Villa Liberty kennels reproduction (really will be those that will give continuity in which to quality about in the APBT of our kennel in the future), we chose those dpgs that show to us of several forms dominance in its genes, of the desirable characters that we want to fix to our dogs, especially the intelligence gene. This way to work, crossing the best to best under our point of view, is what it assures to us that our APBT in the future will maintain the quality that as much we like of them and this makes feel us very well with ourself.

 

Besides the intelligence gene, we maintain in our dogs other genes or links of the genotype quite important for us, that fixing them all together constitute the chain of the elite American Pit Bull Terrier; The Brilliance or Light, intelligence, bravery, tenacity, balance, attitude-positive personality, ability, endurance, and strong grip. About the standards of our APBTs, we look for them to adjust to a functional phenotype proportionated that allows him to combine agility-power (ADBA or FIAPBT) and a good bone structure. Beauty is not something we look for in our dogs, if we did so, our dogs will lose other desirable traits for a variety of functions.

Our dogs live in kennels holding the hard climatology of the madrilenian countryside, much ice in winter and much heat in summer, humidities, airs and all type of disadvantages of this hard madrilenian climatology.

In the following picture, you can appreciate Villa Liberty kennels in 2006 winter, where the American Pit Bull Terrier is almost imperceptible by the frozen time even being within the objective of the camera. Minimally it is possible to be appreciated that some of these dogs are seated so calm and happy watching the winter landscape from their kennels as if nothing had happened. The previous night from when this picture was taken, the thermometer marked 20 degrees below cero (-20º), a temperature that few dogs could hold to survive in the same conditions, nevertheless no dog of Villa Liberty kennels to take cold or constipated that winter of 2006. Circumstantial tests of the nature in the good or bad breeding genetic, where simply it comes to confirm us of another different way that we go by good way and this makes us feel very well.

DSC01201 Copia de DSC02599

The studs of Villa Liberty Kennels have been those we considered the best overall, after studying them in the aspects explained before, so that we could fixed the desirable traits into their offspring, which will represent Villa Liberty kennels around the five continents.

 

During 34 years continuous and without interruptions working around this wonderful and noble breed, the 17 generations of APBTs by means of the selection of the best, guarantees our work, thanks to the support of our “dogs of Light”.

 

 

THE TWO MOST USED KINDS OF BREEDINGS BY VILLA LIBERTY KENNELS

 

 

1) Inbreeding: We use this kind of breeding after noticing the extraordinary qualities and virtues of one of our American Pit Bull Terriers that we want to preserve even if the animal is no longer alive or cannot be bred for any reason.

 

Even if the APBT with the desirable traits is deceased for decades, using inbreeding we can maintain these genetics for a long period of time, as long as we are healthy enough to continue with the passion of the breeding of the APBT. We can also use the inbreeding to cleanse or to purify our genetics of undesirable traits. We have to take into account that using this method of breeding can also double the undesirable traits if we don´t do it correctly.

 

We use the best studs to improve the quality of the whole Villa Liberty family more than improving just a single dog. This is more advisable and offers more guaranties. By using the inbreeding we increase the dominance of the desirable traits we want our stud dogs to pass on to their offspring.

 

We carry out the inbreeding when the mating is done by the first generation, and it has 6 different combinations. The first three are first degree inbreeding: father and daughter, son and mother, and sister and brother. The other three are second degree inbreeding: half brother and half sister, uncle with nephew, and nephew and aunt.

 

An example of first degree inbreeding APBT is the following:

              VILLA LIBERTY´S "RED PIT 3" (97´5% Red Pit)

Copia de VL´s Red Pit 3 Registro ADBA Nº K10943AP - 33

FIAPBT Pedigree Online: VILLA LIBERTY´S "RED PIT 3"

 

Online Pedigree: VILLA LIBERTY´S "RED PIT 3"

The goal of RED PIT 3, inbreeding is clearly fixed by the genetics of RED PIT DE VILLA LIBERTY .

RED PIT 3 example is the culmination of a very strong and charged inbreeding, which has given very positive results in Villa Liberty Kennel. But it is important to recognize that there was a high level of risk of failure in achieving this, and we do not recommend to adventure yourself in such a closed inbreeding unless you have the necessary knowledge, means and experience. And why not, we must say you also need a good amount of luck. VIDEO “RED PIT 3.

              VILLA LIBERTY'S “COWBOY 4

FIAPBT Pedigree Online: VILLA LIBERTY´S “COWBOY 4

 

Online Pedigree: VILLA LIBERTY´S “COWBOY 4

COWBOY 4 Is a individual one extraordinary "Midnight Cowboy" and Walling´s “BULLYSON  in its genetic majority. COWBOY 4 is a very intelligent APBT with a wonderful combined functionality this, with an extraordinary heart, to finishing his Works - Sports by very hard that is to be realised circumstances and it is a APBT very balanced in all the aspects important to consider. COWBOY 4 is another example of first degree inbreeding like RED PIT 3.

Another example of first degree inbreeding is the following:

 

 

              VILLA LIBERTY´S "RED DIBO"  (100% Carver)

 

 

FIAPBT Pedigree Online: VILLA LIBERTY´S "RED DIBO"

 

Online Pedigree: VILLA LIBERTY´S "RED DIBO"

 

RED DIBO parents are brothers to the same parents, and those parents are also brothers to the same parents. RED DIBO’s example is the culmination of a quite strong inbreeding that luckily is giving great results in the reproduction of this genetics. Thanks to the inbreeding, RED DIBO’s genetics has a 50% of Bullyson, 50% of Midnight Cowboy, 50% of Hand’s Candy, 50% of Hand’s Happy Jack, and 50% of Lee’s Cowgirl. Looking at these facts, in genetic terms, RED DIBO can be considered a direct son of Midnight Cowboy and Hand’s Candy, as well as Bullyson’s. RED DIBO has a 45% of Tudor´s “Dibo ‘s genetics, almost as if he was a direct son of him. Taking into consideration he died 51 years ago (1958), this can be considered an extraordinary fact under knowledgeable dogman’s eyes. This amaizing 45 % of Tudor´s “Dibo that RED DIBO has, is only exceeded by Mr. Ronnie ‘s 52,58 %.

Another example of first degree inbreeding is of the following APBT:

 

VILLA LIBERTY´S “BOUDREAUX” (BULLYSON) (87´5% Carver)

 

VL´s Boudreaux 

 

FIAPBT Pedigree Online: VILLA LIBERTY´S “BOUDREAUX” (BULLYSON)

 

Online Pedigree: VILLA LIBERTY´S “BOUDREAUX” (BULLYSON)

 

BOUDREAUX inbreeding´s goal, is clearly set by a fixation of the excellent couple BOUDREAUX' SKULL  X BOUDREAUX' SCREAM, due to the fact that it has all the genetic doors of their upward braches closed to these two specimens, having a 62´5% of BOUDREAUX' SKULL  and a 37´5 of BOUDREAUX' SCREAM. It is also important to mention the not insignificant 43% of BOUDREAUX' MAVERICK. S genetics.

 

A second example of second degree inbreeding, we have it in Mr. Ronnie considering that his father is his mother’s nephew:

 

VILLA LIBERTY´S "TUDOR DIBO" (Mr. “Ronnie) (100% Carver)

 

 

FIAPBT Pedigree Online: VILLA LIBERTY´S "TUDOR DIBO" (Mr. “Ronnie)

 

Online Pedigree: VILLA LIBERTY´S "TUDOR DIBO" (Mr. “Ronnie)

 

MR. RONNIE has in his genetics the highest existing percentage of any APBT able to breed, with a 52´58% of TUDOR'S “DIBO”, who in my opinion is the best APBT of all times.

 

Curiously we can notice in Mr. Ronnie’s genealogy, Maurice Carver’s signature in the elaboration a genetic selection with the APBTs. This consisted on a strong genetic  contribution of his most precious dogs such as  CARVER´S “SATCH,  CARVER “BLOODY SUNDAY,  CARVER'S “IRONHEAD, CARVER'S “MEANIE, WALLING'S “BULLYSON, CARVER'S “MISS SPIKE,   ART'S “MISSY” (CARVER) , TUDOR'S “SPIKE”,  CARVER'S BLACK WIDOW,  CARVERS BLACK GIRL, and of course, the legendary TUDOR'S “DIBO,  http://www.villaliberty.org/legend.html

 

Another example of second degree inbreeding is found in “TOP SECRET”´s genetics, where his parents are half brothers on their father’s side.

       VILLA LIBERTY´S “TOP SECRET  (100% Carver)

FIAPBT Pedigree Online: VILLA LIBERTY´S “TOP SECRET

Online Pedigree: VILLA LIBERTY´S “TOP SECRET

TOP SECRET has a quite considerable percentage of CARVER'S STOMPANATO, with a beautiful  touch of CARVER´S BOOMERANG (Davis), which makes him a very adequate stud for the conservation of Maurice Carver dogs’ genetics in Villa Liberty Kennels.

The inbreeding highlights the good qualities as well as the bad ones. It is a double edged knife, but it is the best tool a breeder can use to cleanse or to purify his dogs’ blood, of the undesirable traits, and at the same time, can fix the desirable ones.

Inbreeding, in general terms, means a more dominant breeding and more capable of transmitting the genetics to the offspring than outcrossing.

Because of the later, when a serious breeder carries out his first inbreeding, it is fundamental to keep the whole litter until they have grown to their first year of age. All this, in order to make sure that the results are the expected ones, and that no health or character problems are present. Not doing so, will pass these problems to the future owners, and that wouldn’t be fair to them nor to the dogs. Evenly, any responsible breeder should do this at any time he experiments an unknown phase of inbreeding.

We do not recommend doing this kind of breeding unless the proper knowledge, experience and means are met. This is necessary to guarantee a minimum of success in achieving the expected in what physical and psychological health is concerned. We neither recommend doing this breeding without having almost perfect genotypic and phenotypic APBTs.

 

2) Outcross: We utilize this breeding when the inbreeding in our dogs is to saturated or closed, and so there are a few chances to continue in this direction. With the outcross breeding we clean up and oxygenate a saturated blood by opening it up, so that later on we can close it down again. This way we can preserve our APBT family for years not only without damaging it, but actually we can substantially improve it. This is a well kept secret that old dog men have used to preserve their genetics, and we at Villa Liberty, are pleased share it with those who enjoy this marvelous and noble canine breed.

An example of Outcross we have it in the following APBT:

 

            "RED PIT" DE VILLA LIBERTY (75% Carver)

 

 image018

FIAPBT Pedigree Online: "RED PIT" DE VILLA LIBERTY

 

Online Pedigree: "RED PIT" DE VILLA LIBERTY

 

RED PIT comes from very good opened genetic combination that combines Midnight Cowboy with Hand’s Candy, Pat Patrick’s dogs, Cooper and Orday. It also brings the best British APBTs by the mother’s side which are represented by its double great grandfather  WELLER´S EVIL JIM .

 

The opened blood and the great quality that RED PIT ‘s blood has, made him a magnificent stud. This great variety of genetics was the key to perfectly combine it with other closed genetics, and as a result, he gave very good quality litters.

Another example of Outcross breeding we have it in CH PATCHES, whose parents belong to different families.

CH PATCHES, is the result of a fusion in the genetics of CARVER and that of RED PIT, which offered us great results in working sports. CH PATCHES has quite dominant genetics, through which, he transmits to his offspring an extreme intelligence and a great vitality and energy, the later being a characteristic of dogs coming from outcross breeding.

CONSANGINIDAD MR RONMNIE Jr X NUIT

 

ACERCA DE LA CONSANGUINIDAD O INBREEDING Algunos factores importantes a tener en cuenta y que muchos desconocen, de esta manera saber diferenciar las diferencias... https://www.facebook.com/VILLALIBERTYKENNELS/photos/a.146667945375014/5067083576666735

– Toniexplorer nos PREGUNTA lo siguiente en referencia a la camada anterior:

"Menudo espectáculo de perretes... ¿Son hijos de hermanos? ¿No puede haber problemas? Le sigo desde hace años. Saludos cordiales" (Sic)

 

RESPUESTA a Toniexplorer:

Hola Toni, nos alegramos que te gusten los cachorros. Has realizado una muy buena pregunta si señor.

 

He de informarte, que cuando al principio comenzamos a utilizar esta herramienta genética, la consanguinidad o inbreeding, lo cual tienen algunas de nuestras crianzas y algunos de nuestros perros en la actualidad, fueron consideradas, examinadas y contempladas durante muchos años, no sacando nuestros perros consanguíneos hasta la edad del año, para asegurarnos que efectivamente la prueba había ido bien y había sido aprobada y aprobada con muy buena nota, ya que de no ser así, entonces hubiéramos descartado continuar por ese camino y mucho menos dar esos perros consanguíneos a alguien que después hubiera podido tener problemas con ellos, especialmente para asegurarnos mediante la observación diversa, que su comportamiento y su fisonomía no fueran en su detrimento como individuo, ya que lo hacemos justamente para lo contrario, para beneficiar su genética del fenotipo (Una adecuada fisonomía del Estándar para rendir al 100% en el Trabajo - Deporte), como para beneficiar igualmente su genética en el genotipo (Buena actitud y carácter en base al equilibrio, con muy buena salud y vitalidad) y al mismo tiempo, beneficiar igualmente la genética de la propia raza.

 

El objetivo o propósito haber realizado este estudio profundo durante tantos años, comprobaciones genéticas consanguíneas en nuestros animalitos para observar su nivel de aceptación y asimilación, ha sido para asegurarnos que cierto tipo de consanguinidad (inbreeding) en la genética de nuestros animalitos, no les fuera a perjudicar ni a ellos ni a sus futuros propietarios en ningún sentido a tener en cuenta, más bien todo lo contrario. Pensamos que la Responsabilidad debe prevalecer ante todo y todos. 

 

Date cuenta de una cosa Toni, la cual es sencilla de comprender. Es recomendable diferenciar las diferencias, y en el caso que nos toca, saber diferenciar entre el conocimiento, la experiencia y el objetivo o propósito, con el desconocimiento, la inexperiencia y el oportunismo.

Nosotros llevamos hasta el momento, 36 años ininterrumpidamente involucrados de lleno y de diversas maneras en la crianza del American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT o Pit Bull) Si un cliente nuestro tiene problemas con el animalito que se llevó de Villa Liberty kennels, ese problema pasa a ser nuestro problema y nosotros simplemente no queremos tener problemas y menos de ese tipo, más claro agua. Más que de profesionalidad, estoy hablando de ética, moralidad y responsabilidad.

 

@ DIFERENTES TIPOS DE CRIANZA EN VILLA LIBERTY KENNELS: https://www.villaliberty.org/crianza.html

 

Algo importante que muchos desconocen, es que para conseguir mejorar una raza canina, la que sea, en muchas ocasiones los criadores veteranos y expertos en la genética de sus animalitos de la raza que sea, recurren a la consanguinidad, ya que la consanguinidad sabiendo manejarla y conociendo los pros y los contras a los que uno se va a enfrentar, es una herramienta extraordinaria para fijar los caracteres deseables a los que el criador veterano desea fijar en la genética de los descendientes de sus futuras camadas. Por el contrario, si uno no es conocedor de esta herramienta, la consanguinidad o inbreeding, pienso que sería una locura ponerse hacer algo que no se tiene ni idea de lo que puede salir, una completa irresponsabilidad. Esto lo suelen realizar propietarios inexpertos pero deseosos de tener alguna camada, a estos les suelen llamar junta perros o vende perros, porque cruzan con el primer perro que tienen a su disposición sin valoraciones de ninguna clase y para su propio interés, no por el interés de mejorar la raza, ni por el interés de los futuros propietarios tengan una vida mucho mejor al lado de su nuevo compañero, etc. La familia de los perros pertenecientes a muchos de estos propietarios inexpertos e irresponsables, normalmente la suelen tener fácilmente a su disposición de una u otra manera y para no pagar una buena monta o comprar un buen semental, entonces recurren a la consanguinidad y luego pasa lo que pasa, por desear convertirse a la ligera y por mero capricho del momento en “criadores” por la vía más fácil y rápida, en fin…

 

En nuestro caso, por ejemplo, en Villa Liberty kennels disponemos de una gran cantidad de sementales que no comparten genética alguna, que no son consanguíneos vamos. Quiero decir, que nosotros no recurrimos a la consanguinidad por lo mencionado anteriormente, ya que tenemos sementales más que suficientes como para no tener que recurrir a la consanguinidad, pero como te decía al principio, cada camada que tenemos es un nuevo reto para la mejora de la raza y esto es mi gran pasión con estos animalitos, ver como todos los cachorros de todas las camadas que tenemos y hemos tenido durante décadas, van a más y a mejor. No en vano ahí tenemos los resultados, como perros de compañía salen con una fisonomía y un carácter extraordinarios, al igual que como perros de Rescate y Salvamento, o como perros de Trabajo – Deporte y un largo etc., de actividades en las que utilizan a nuestros animalitos, estando todos sus propietarios encantados con el carácter, la fisonomía, la salud y los resultados que obtienen con nuestros animalitos en las diversas disciplinas que los utilizan y esto nos llena de orgullo y satisfacción.

 

Un ejemplo, los únicos 4 Campeones (ACE) de Arrastre de Peso en Europa provienen de los perros de Villa Liberty kennels: https://www.fiapbt.net/ace&ch.html

 

Resumiendo, el inbreeding hace resaltar las buenas cualidades como las malas, es un cuchillo de doble filo, pero es la mejor herramienta que un criador puede utilizar, para "depurar o limpiar" la genética de sus APBT de factores no deseables y al mismo tiempo, fijar los factores deseables en sus perros como te decía anteriormente. Un semental American Pit Bull Terrier con genética cerrada o consanguínea, será en términos generales un reproductor bastante más dominante más capaz de transmitir su genética a sus descendientes, que uno que es producto del outcrossing o genética abierta.

 

Un saludo y te agradezco tu interés en nuestra labor y en nuestros animalitos,
