Ever heard of the Kingfish Pitbulls?
They are a rare pitbull bloodline that most breeders would guard with their lives.
Here is everything you need to know about them.
Kingfish Pitbulls are a rare bloodline that most dog lovers know nothing about. While most Pitbulls today are mutt versions of their former self, the Kingfish pitbull has retained its purebred qualities. Pitbulls in the Kingfish bloodline are also nicknamed ‘Angus’.
If there is one thing that is as rare as a white Peacock, it is a genuine litter of Kingfish pitbull puppies.
Go online and you see so many Pitbull breeders but few of them can boast of raising Kingfish Pitbulls.
And if some say they dew, few can prove their pitbull pups are from the Kingfish bloodline.
Why is the Kingfish Pitbull rare?
Kingfish Pitbulls are one of the first pit bull bloodlines established in American.
They descend from a male pit bull named Champion Kingfish who was bred to be a hunter.
This pioneer Kingfish lived in Ohio with his owner, until a breeder with a keen eye for quality dogs spotted him.
This breeder proceeded to mate Champion Kingfish with several female American pit bull terriers.
Once the desired litter was achieved, the puppies were bred between each other to maintain the Kingfish qualities.
That is how the Kingfish bloodline was born.
What makes the Kingfish bloodline rare is that it is one of the few pitbull lines that can proudly boast of the title “purebred”.
When pit bulls became popular, many breeders jumped on the background of producing their first litter.
Soon these breeders started favoring profits over quality breeding.
The result was a line of crossbreeds too ashamed to bear the name “purebred”.
Only the Kingfish pitbull proudly carries the ‘purebred’ banner in a sea of pitbull mutts.
