Certified Bloodline - Pitbulls : Go Pitbull Dog Forums

The Certified bloodline was started by a man named Ray who purchased a negro male from Oliver Dela Cruz of Dungeon Kennels. The male he purchased was named Black Shaq; he was a Ruffian dog bred by Dela Cruz and he became the foundation male for Ray's line and the sole male he always used. All dogs produced by Ray are direct from him or one of his descendants. Black Shaq's name remained Dela Cruz on his papers until he was 5 yrs old.

After Ray bred him to his tired and his stock only, developing his own independent origin in the process,he asked Dela Cruz if he could alter the name on Shaq's papers and he said yes. Ray's foundation bitch was Briana Bluegood, bred by Greyline's Tony Moore; she is off of Raider II and Showtime. Ray developed Certified by using Greyline and Butthead females and run them to Black Shaq. No other line was exploited to make this line. One thing that shows with Certified is the body of it. If looking at the dog's in Ray's yard it is evident that they link back to Shaq and Briana Bluegood.


Ray used his bitch, Certified Brianna Bluegood WPC1, to increase breast size, overall thickness and muscle mass. PR Certified Black Shaq WPC2's purpose was to add head size, and bone density; additionally, hisprimary objective was to reach the Certified bloodline a gene pool thatwould ultimately breed true to the bluish color.




Certified Black Shaq

Briana Bluegood



This is Certified Some Big Thick Meat. He is off of CertifiedBlack Shaq and his Dam is from the Butthead blood line; her name isEaglerock's Queen. This was the only outcrossing of Shaq that Ray everused in his breeding program because he wanted that Butthead size.




This is Certified My Fedia she is off of Cert. My Brianna andCert. Blk Shaq. She is Double Homozygous for the Blue gene.



Certified 2ou-Short aka Rage she is littermates to Certified Short Shaq, whose name used to be Blackjack before he was sold.





Ray has documented everything he has done as it pertains to his dogs and training and the proof lines the walls of his kennels.




According to Ray, this is what a "TRUE" bloodline looks similar and I am going to get to agree. The man kept some serious documentation!


These are Certified Litter Information forms that document over 100 Breedings of primarily PURE Solid Blue litters. Ray uses the book PURE to report this lines genotype and says this blood has TRUE HOMOZYGOSITY!!!

Ray's goal when he began to make his course of dog was that "when any two are put together, they would reproduce genetically similar solid blues every single time, regardless of phenotype (coat color)." Ray attained his end in 2002 and has the support and photographic proof to cover up everything he has accomplished. He has documentation leading up to 2002 and what he has done since then.

First documented breeding

This is photographic proof of the geneticbackground from which he started this bloodline. According to Ray, it is a perfectexample of a Heterozygous or Hybrid cell structure for the Phenotype of acanine.
Brianna's Phenotype (coat color) is blue, but her genotype (genetic make up) is Fawn and White.

The Father of this litter was a depressed male, but this mixed bag of colours is what was produced out of two blues. Ray eventually overcame this to get to pure homozygosity.


These are a few of the puppies from thepicture ofthe puppies in the pool, with Brianna when they were alittle older. Their colors can be seen more clearly here.

This is further evidence of theHeterozygous genotype form which this bloodhas evolved. This is one ofthe puppies in the previous pix that was later bred. (note her in thebox, she is the 1st from the left, with the dark patch over her eye) youcan start to see the progressionin this pic. This litter is prettymuch the sami as the other, but this time i got two solid blues.

Rayprogressively bred the dun and white outof his gene pool and replaced it with solid blue. Over many, many years heonlywent "Outside" his bloodline twice. One breeding with a ButtHeadbitch and more recently with Smitty-Rue. This was all accomplishedthrough dogsthat were basically 100% bred by him. Ray says he prides himself ononly using dogs that he has bred even though it takes longer to developtraits, but he knows "everything" about his dogs' backgrounds.


Here is a nearer look at the informationcontained on one of these forms. it shows the Father and Dam, the appointment ofthe breeding/whelping and how many puppies were born. Ray has currentlystarted developing new pheno/genotypes to maintain this blood progressive.


On September 4, 2009 Ray whelped his first all blond litter out of two Certified bred dogs.

Quote:

Offical Statement: i am not claiming i have created this color. or thatthe color itself is alone or different than other dogs this color. i amonly merely developing it from within dogs that i have bred myself. Ihave given this already present phenotype thename blue blond toidentify them as being bred by Ray Certified...

Ray has been doing his affair with dogs for around 35 days and he knows color genetics extremely well. Within the Certified blood he developed the Certified Shine-Line, which was created solely from blond dogs. He also developed a descent of all white dogs called Powder-Coated.


This is the 1st pup from the new strain of solid whites, which Ray has named Certified Powder Coats.This is a female off of Cert.Blonn-Gotti and Cert. Beach-Barbie. The litter was whelped in November of 2010.



Sire Blon-Gotti w/ Tyson Chandler of the N.O. Hornets

Dam Certified Beach Barbie



These are the 1st Generation ofCertified Blue-Blond pups from theShine-Line. They are siblings to the pup above. They are off of Cert. Blonn-Gotti and Cert. Beach-Barbie. They were born on11-Nov-2010.
It has taken Ray 6 days to get to this point, but he now has the technology to systematically build blond genetic clones of his original Certified Blue-Blond stock. Ray says that all Certified Shine-Line and Certified Powder Coats will just be bredfrom Certified Blue-Blonds and Certified Powder Coated dogs exclusively.The blond lineage will be all blond and the white lineage will be allwhite, from the commencement of these two lines.
