Here Is Some Basic American Pitbull Terrier History
In 1898 the United Kennel Club was formed with the express intent of providing registration and fighting guidelines for
the now officially-named American Pit Bull Terrier. Later, those who wished to distance themselves from the fighting
aspect of the breed petitioned the American Kennel Club for recognition of the Pit Bull so that it would be eligible for dog
shows and other performance events. The AKC conceded in 1936 but only under the stipulation that the dogs
registered with them be called "Staffordshire Terriers", the name of the province in England the breed supposedly
originated in. Upon acceptance of the breed, many people dual-registered their dogs with both the AKC and the UKC.
Lucenay's Peter (the dog that starred in the Our Gang series) was the first dual-registered Pit Bull/Staffordshire Terrier.
The UKC evolved, eventually beginning to register other working-type breeds, and later holding shows similar to those of
the AKC. Currently, the UKC is the second largest purebred dog registry in the United States, complete with strict bylaws
that ban anyone who is convicted of dog fighting. The American Dog Breeders Association was formed in 1909 because
of certain fanciers' opinions that the UKC was not doing it's job protecting and preserving the Pit Bull breed as they felt it
should be preserved. The ADBA's goal is the same now is at was then: to register, promote and preserve the original
American Pit Bull Terrier fighting-type dog.
The AKC eventually closed it's studbooks to American Pit Bull Terriers. They allowed registration only to those dogs with
parents registered as Staffordshire Terriers. For a short period in the 1970's, the AKC reopened its studbooks to
American Pit Bull Terriers. In 1973 the AKC added the prefix "American" to the breeds name in an effort to distinguish it
from the newly recognized Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Today, only those dogs with AmStaff parents are eligible for
registration. Both the UKC and the ADBA allow registration of AmStaffs, but in these organizations the dogs carry the
original name, "American Pit Bull Terrier."

PETE, ( CLICK FOR PEDIGREE )The pitbull U.K.C. Name was Lucenary's Peter. Pete was born sept.6th 1929,
owned and trained by Harry Lucenay and bred by A.A Keller.Petey was put into films at 6 months. He is the son of Pal,
The Wonder Dog- a dog owned by Petey's trainer,Harry Lucenay. Pal was actually the first (PETE) dog to appear
regularly in the TV show little rascals also known as the OG's. Pal's screen credits include 13 feature films released
from Dec. 1921 to Oct. 1927. In no time at all, Petey secured a place alongside Alfalfa, Spanky, and the other rascals
as a national treasure.
Petey landed the role of 'Tige' in the Buster Brown comedies. It was the role of "Tige" which has been attributed to Pete
acquiring his classic ring around the eye. The ring was made with permanent dye, so Roach had no choice but to
accept Petey the way he was. Petey was signed in 1927 to a 3year contract with 6 month Options. His starting salary
was $125 per week, which would be raised in increments of $25 per week to make him exclusive to Hal Roach
Studios--making him the second highest paid actor in the OG series (next to Farina). Pete's last appearance was in "A
Tough Winter", released June 21,1930.
Petey was poisoned,( not substantiated) by someone with a grudge against Harry Lucenay. The OG kids were
inconsolable upon learning of Pete's death. But since Lucenay was breeding a "Pete" line, he was able to substitute
one of Pete's descendants. The second Pete has the circle on the opposite eye and the ears and front legs have a
slightly different coloring. The seconds Pete only stayed at Roach Studios for 2 years, because Lucenay was fired. The
sire to Lucenay's Peter was Tudor's Black Jack and the dam was Peggy O'Neill.
By the time of WWI the American PitBull Terrier had became a well loved and desired dog. In fact the PitBull was used
as Americans canine mascot and seen in such posters as this during war time. In 1917 America's first war dog was a Pit
Bull named Stubby. He became a war hero for saving several soldiers lives and even capturing a German Spy while in
trenches of France with the 26th Yankee Division. He earned several medals and the rank of sergeant for his service in
WWI . He received a hero's welcome and was even honored at the White House and inspired the U.S. Military K-9
Corps. Returning home, Stubby was invited to the White House by President Wilson and was personally decorated for
valor by General John J. Pershing in a post-war ceremony. It was the bravery and loyalty of this dog that was
instrumental in inspiring the creation of the U.S. "K9 Corps" for World War II.
Sgt. Stubby, was the most decorated war dog in U.S. History. He was picked up as a stray in 1917, by Private J. Robert
Conroy when the homeless dog appeared at the training camp of the 102nd Infantry at Yale University. Conroy and
buddies kept Stubby with them through all their drills and training and, in July 1917, when it came time to ship out for
France, they smuggled Stubby aboard ship.
After further training, Stubby went with the 102nd Infantry to the front and was in the trenches 5 February 1918. He
participated in 17 engagements in four World War I offensives (Aisne-Marne, Champagne-Marne, St. Mihiel, and
Meuse Argonne).
Stubby participated in many veterans' parades across the U.S. and, with Robert Conroy, attended every American
Legion convention until his death. He appeared in a series of vaudeville shows in 1919 with Mary Pickford. He visited
the White House in 1921 to meet President Harding and again in 1924 to meet President Coolidge. In 1921, General
John J. Pershing awarded a gold medal to Stubby.
In 1921, Stubby's owner, J. Robert Conroy, was headed to Georgetown for law school and took the dog along.
According to a 1983 account in Georgetown Magazine, Stubby "served several terms as mascot to the football team.
Between the halves, Stubby would nudge a football around the field [with his nose], much to the delight of the crowd.
This trick became a standard feature of the repertoire of Georgetown mascots throughout the twenties and thirties. "
Stubby died in 1926. His mounted remains and medal-encrusted blanket were displayed for years at the National Red
Cross Museum and were presented in 1956 to the Smithsonian. After forty years in moth balls (literally), Stubby is now
on loan to the State of Connecticut, which featured the war hero at a statewide dog show.
PitBulls are widely used as therapy dogs, even today. Because of their high pain threshold and stable
temperament,they do not bite or snap when accidentally bumped by a wheelchair or walker. Helen Keller even had a Pit
Bull as her canine companion
The first dog to travel across America in a car was a PitBull (Bud) and did so with Horatio Jackson and his assistant and
"bicycle" mechanic Sewall Crocker to cross America in a car (A Winton named the Vermont). Horatio later donated
Bud's goggles to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. Dduring the trip Bud would assist in watching for large
bumps in the road and often received as much if not more attention by the press than did Jackson. After the trip was
completed Bud bravely guarded the Jackson home until his death of old age.

Horatio Jackson's "BUD" circa. 1903
The first dog to drive across the USA ... And of course it was An American Pitbull Terrier
In the spring and summer of 1903, H. Nelson Jackson completed the first transcontinental automobile trip in a 1903
Winton touring car. Jackson, a physician from Burlington, Vermont, was on vacation in San Francisco and made a
bet at a gentlemen’s club that a car could endure the grueling trip through the rugged West, where there were
virtually no roads, and across the East in less than 90 days. He purchased a slightly used Winton touring car, hired
mechanic Sewall Crocker to accompany him, stocked up on supplies, and took off for New York City. The trip took 64
days, including breakdowns, delays while waiting for parts to arrive, and hoisting the Winton up and over rocky
terrain and mud holes.
In Idaho, Jackson acquired a bulldog and named him Bud. Bud became the two men’s traveling companion during
the remainder of the trip. He eagerly took to car travel, but blowing dust irritated his eyes, so Jackson purchased a
small pair of goggles for him to wear. Jackson, Crocker and Bud appear together in many photographs of the trip.
Bud lived in the Jackson home in Burlington, Vermont the rest of his life.
