 MyBloodline

In 1984, after completing 4 years in the US Navy and reading many books on our breed. I immediately had a fascination with the Old Family Reds and their history. My bloodline is basically Hemphill\Wilder\Redboy.

I DO NOT BREED OR BREED TO BULLIES.  ANY BULLY SHOWING MY BLOODLINE IN HIS PEDIGREE WAS NOT MY DOING.

What Are Old Family Reds ?

 HEMPHILL/WILDER

  

They are a strain of American Pitbull Terrier that came to this country in the early 1920s through mostly Irish Immigrants. They are known for their tanned eyes, red noses, and red toenails. Though most any bloodline will produce a red nose dog, True Old Family Reds can be traced back to well known breeders such as Bob Wallace, Bob Hemphill, and Jake Wilder, to name a few. One of the first and best known breeders to bring these dogs from the Old Country was Mr. William Lightner.
