HISTORICAL SUMMARY
The pit monster is a breed of 21st century , developed from the crossing between dogs of "monstrous" appearance, related or not to the pit bull , american bully , and, indirectly, dogs molossers like the American Bulldog and the Old English Bulldog . The social motivation for its development was greatly influenced by the movement bully american.
Its origin is obscure mainly due to the divergence of nomenclatures and concepts of the races that make up its genetic base. Its initial genetic base was basically composed of lineages of heavy dogs that are currently part of at least three other distinct breeds, such as the Camelot and McKenna strains that are currently part of the breed American Working Red ( prey dogs ); the Chevy and Elli's strains that are now part of the breed Working Pit Bulldog ; and the Razor Edge bloodline, which is part of the American Bully ; all combined with pit bulls and dogs without Genealogy known but with initial registration. The result was robust, heavy dogs with broad chests, heavy skulls and strong bones.
The pit monster is related to american bully , especially the XL pattern and the extinct extreme pattern, so it is also known as extreme.
