We, the Undersigned, endorse the following petition:

UKC, Please Revoke Razor's Edge Registration Papers

Target: Cindy Stickley, United Kennel Club
Sponsor: Responsible "Pit Bull" Owners
  • Signatures: 1,263
  • Goal: 2,000
  • Deadline: 12-10-2007
The Founder of Razor's Edge "pit bulls" has admitted he has mixed several breeds of dogs, including the American Pit Bull Terrier, to produce a new "breed" of dog he calls the American Bully, giving credence to the suspicions of responsible "pit bull" owners that these dogs are of mixed lineage. We therefore urge the UKC to investigate this issue and revoke papers if appropriate.
This petition is now closed.

1,283 11:59 am PDT, Oct 27   Realist Realist The reality of the situation is that the Pits lineage has been polluted by this and other lines over the past 20 years. While the UKC should take responsibility for this and acknowledge such it is impossible to remove them and all their relatives. This is also where the blue color most often comes from. While it is a shame that this has happened they are now to deeply intertwined to remove from the stud books. If the UKC/ADBA was to do so then many of those who do not agree with such lines would also soon come to find out their Pit Bull is now being excluded due deeper relationships they were unaware of. To now pull the line would mean to pull all relatives as well and this would then decimate the breed. Look in Colby's book and you will see NO blues. He has confirmed this was not part of the original standard yet the 1936 standard says all colors. The ADBA and UKC tried this with Merle Pits even though the Merle's have a lineage that can be proven back into the 60's and there is anecdotal evidence as far back as the 30's as well as ones that have come directly through the Colby yard. Even the ADBA realized pulling these from the past would harm the breed so much they stopped revoking papers on owners who they knew were related to Merles and have since admitted to the Merles long history within the breed even though they do not like it. Their solution was to then disqualify Merle moving forward while leaving the past alone. Check out the Pit Bull in the picture, while many who are ignorant to the recently floating standards the UKC/ADBA has had and would deny its purity based on color/Merle it is clear to see that it falls far closer to the original standards than anything Razor's Edge, Blackjack and many others. The best thing to do if you do not believe in the RE standard is to breed away from its genetics. If enough people do this over time the breed will self correct genetically back to its original physical standards as first documented in 1936.
1,282 8:52 pm PDT, Oct 22 Ms. Anonymous These dogs like razor's edge and butt head etc are NOT anything close to the original game dog APBT such as Bullyson or Patrick dogs. They are simply dogs that have been mixed with English Bulldog, Bull Mastiff, and probably some American Bulldog. They are very pretty dogs but should be called "Bullys" and marketed/registered as a totally different breed or a designer breed (Mixed)  
1,281 6:51 am PDT, Oct 18 Ms. Cara Schmoll They are not pure im sorry but the ukc should follow  
1,280 7:13 pm PDT, Oct 13 Mr. Anonymous APBTerriers came about by crossing breeds of dogs... bulldogs crossed with terriers. So you guys now condemn someone for doing the same thing that your beloved breed was founded upon? UKC, AKC blah blah blah...blow it out your asses you pompous pricks. These dogs rock...get over it.  
1,279 8:01 pm PDT, Oct 11 Mr. austin bullard You claim to have Hemphill and Wilder in your bloodlines guess you are ok with settling for less than the best.Jake Wilder would roll over in his grave to hear his name associated with bullies.What a disgrace to those of us with the real deal.Bullies have no game unless you think playing dead and rolling over means your dog has "gameness". A mutt doesnt deserve papers.  
1,278 11:59 am PDT, Oct 8   Dan Smetana please pull these non APBT freak show out of the registry.  
1,277 4:03 pm PDT, Oct 4   Joie Smith This is a shame..that U.K.C. has not pulled ALL papers of the so-called 'BULLY' breed dogs. They are NOTHING MORE than MUTTS!!! PLEASE HELP KEEP the APBT bloodlines PURE!!!!!!

1,272 3:49 pm PDT, Sep 24 Mrs. Crystal Jimenez I beleive that all dogs are beautiful but it is very wrong to advertise this new breed as a PIT BULL as is it not. It is a different blood line with different temperment and engeries. Its ok to be what they are ..just say the truth and be happy with the bully name. Leave the true real deal pit bulls to the people who love the breed for what they are and stop trying to change them. A 80-100lb dog is not of correct UKC/ADBA conformation. Please make a new registry for these bully dogs and leave the true APBT ALONE! it was it .. say like it is and stop reigistering them as something they are NOT  
1,270 9:36 am PDT, Sep 9   jimmy white haters just mad cause yall cant sell a dog for three hundred dollars and re blood goes for a g easy quit hatin and get a life do yall have any thing better to do than talk bad about some good lookin dogs yall must not be able to afford one

1,268 6:08 pm PDT, Sep 8   Anonymous These dogs while great looking in their own right are not Pure bred APBT's Even if they were they have been bred into something different.

1,266 4:45 pm PDT, Aug 29   Anonymous If the original breeder of razors edge admitted that he "corrupted" the APBT bloodline, then what is the issue? Revoke the papers and re-name the breed. The one foot tall, three foot wide dogs are obviously breed with an english bulldog.

IM 5'11 230 FORMER MARINE. ME AND MY DOGS WILL OUT RUN AND YOU AND YOUR MUTTS ON ANY DAY. ANOTHER THING BULLYS ARE NOT RAISED TO FIGHT. THEY ARE GOOD HOUSE DOGS AND GOOD PROTECTORS. DONT BELIEVE BREAK IN MY HOUSE AND YOU WILL DEF FIND OUT HOW FAR MY SO CALLED FAT AND LAZY DOGS WILL CHASE YOU. I BET YOU WILL GIVE UP FIRST>>>LOL . 95% OF ALL BREEDS HAVE BEEN MIX WITH SOMETHING ELSE TO GET WHERE THEY ARE AT TODAY. SO SHOULD THEY BE TAKING OF THE UKC LIST TOO. NO. SO LEAVE RAZOR EDGE ALONE. PROBABLY JUST MAD CAUSE DAVE WILSON IS MAKING MORE MONEY THAN YOU YOU JEALOUS IDIOT!  
1,262 9:54 pm PDT, Jul 14 Mr. Anonymous bullies in my eyes are not a true pitbull terrier, look up the ukc guidelines for conformation.  
1,261 10:11 pm PDT, Jul 4 Mr. Micheal Green I myself am fond of the razors edge dog,but it is what it is, and what it is, is an American Bully. Although this is a very well bred dog that deserves alot of repect the confermation does not match of the American pitbull terrier. U can look at the moloser pages and U will see many great dogs that resemble The American pitbull terrier but they R not, the truth is the truth. Real talk let him take his place in the bully breed true to its breeding as the American bully, a great dog decending from the American Pitbull terrier,just as the american pitbull terrier has done. This man should be proud to be the creator of such a breed, I know that I would. So take it how U want but this is not an American Pitbull terrier it is a dog with the blood of the APBT in it. Example (look at the Schitzu the pug and the english bulldog) Thank you for your time and patients.
1,260 5:20 am PDT, Jun 28 Mr. URBAN COLE how can we as pitbull lovers hate on the bully aint there enough problems with the powers that be?dam!i like both. i love the ability of the working dogs but not good for inside the house.i think you peeps that are trying to dis cridit edge has way to much time on there hands.bottom line there dogs or you envythe bully cause they making good money these days with fighting them?bigger for fighting?is she retarded?bullies are safe house pets but some that have crosses will also have some drive.my opinion.i have both but its hard.  
1,259 11:13 pm PDT, Jun 18   Jim Hernandez They are not American Pit Bull Terriers so why call them that. He should have them put under a different name. I dont have fat sloppy dogs,I have the real deal.

UKC, Please Revoke Razor's Edge Registration Papers

DAVE WILSON is President of Razor's Edge and self-proclaimed founder of a breed of dog he calls "American Bullys." For many years, fanciers of the American Pit Bull Terrier and the American Staffordshire Terrier have suspected that these "short and wide" bully-type dogs from lines such as Razor's Edge have very likely been mixed with other breeds to produce heavy-weight, thick-boned, big-headed, stout dogs that are portrayed as American Pit Bull Terriers. Dave Wilson has admitted that the development of these "American Bullies" rose from mixing dogs of various breeds, yet many of these dogs still have UKC registration papers.

In a letter to a newspaper, Dave Wilson wrote, "The 'Back 2 the Bullies' convention to be held tomorrow...is not for the 'celebration of the pit bull' as you allege; it is for public awareness of the American Bully. This is a new breed created more than 15 years ago, and it is a separate breed from the 'pit bull.'

"We blended different breeds together to obtain certain desired traits. The American pit bull terrier was one of the breeds whose lineage is in the background of this breed, but it is by no means the only breed behind it.

"Even the part of the lineage that is American pit bull terrier stems from United Kennel Club-registered conformation show dogs! There is also an American Kennel Club-registered show breed in the lineage of this breed called the American Staffordshire terrier. Some breeders even included some bulldog lineage into their breeding. This breed has been established for over 10 years now."

We Responsible Dog Owners hereby petition the UKC to conduct a full investigation into the Razor's Edge line and, if appropriate, revoke the registration all dogs registered by Dave Wilson and all dogs with Razor's Edge dogs within the first three generations of their pedigree.
