Historical context

Brown’s Brindle Spike is the male in FIAPBT 1487, with Brown as historical owner. Lawrence’s Smokey and Lawrence’s Hannah are the reported parents. Dibo’s published tree places Brindle Spike beside Brown’s Blond Scratch as Ritcheson’s Spike’s parents. The Lawrence’s Smokey branch is kept distinct from Orday’s Smokey, whose separate record gives Dime and Cheyenne as parents. World Pitbull Database’s individual record explicitly lists the USA as the country of birth.

Brown’s Brindle Spike is the male in FIAPBT 1487, with Brown as historical owner. Lawrence’s Smokey and Lawrence’s Hannah are the reported parents. Dibo’s published tree places Brindle Spike beside Brown’s Blond Scratch as Ritcheson’s Spike’s parents. The Lawrence’s Smokey branch is kept distinct from Orday’s Smokey, whose separate record gives Dime and Cheyenne as parents. World Pitbull Database’s individual record explicitly lists the USA as the country of birth.
