History of The Razors Edge Bloodline Razors
Edge was started in MD and DC by Dave Wilson and Carlos Barksdale. They
started out with game dogs. They researched everything they could find
and read every book publicized at that time. The also subscribed to
many dog magazines like the ADBA Gazette, even some underground ones.
They called nearly every breeder that they could find and questioned
them, If it said Pit, they were on it. They already owned some
unpapered BYB Pits. They even had there own Pit club and went hiking
and other things back in the woods. Eventually they got enough money to
get some real papered, good bloodline, game dogs. They purchased some
of the best around at the time. Even paid $3500 way back then for a
Grandson of the great "Plumbers Alligator", mainly Mayfield lines. Dave
and Carlos were very heavy into the game lines and had dogs from
Hemphill to Wilder blood. These were big game dogs. Later
on they hooked up with George Williams in DC and purchased a dog they
named Diablo, from Wildside Kennels. Diablo's dad was a bigger catch
dog, "Hollinsworth Bull". His mom was a game girl names "Wildsides
Ms.Leaky". This was the turn around time when Razors Edge started
adding more size. The first ever registered "ADBA" Razors Edge breeding
was from his Mayfield boy Zeus to a Mayfield girl name Jinx. Jinx was
actually given to friend back then named Curt Plater, now CLP Kennels.
He owned the first ever Razors Edge dog. They would lose contact after
this for many years before hooking up again. They banned Pits in PG
County and Dave was forced to move. Eventually through Dave’s job in
the Pet Store industry he landed a mangers job at a Pet Store in VA. He
had to move to VA and still resides there as Razors Edge Kennel. Dave
managed a Pet Store, worked as a professional dog trainer, and still
bred bigger ADBA game dogs. Basically, he bred his own pits now. He
also put fliers in the Washington Post explaining what the breed was
and what Razors Edge was. Dave
met a guy name Ron Smith who came aboard and took Razors Edge to
another level. Dave saw this blue dog named "Steel Town Blue Monday"
and was hooked! Ron already knew every UKC and AKC breeder under the
sun. He had been researching on his own for years. So this man had all
the pictures, info, etc…. He had fliers and pictures from every AKC and
UKC breeder from Coast to coast. He literally had pictures of almost
all the dogs in all these pedigrees. That man really was the "Pit
Guru". He first contacted thingy 'n' Bull Kennels, the ones that
produced Monday. They turned them onto people in Cali with that blood.
Candace Eggart was one. Candy sent pictures of what she had and what
she had going on. Just to give you a time frame, She sold a dog years
later to Tony Moore named Showtime! Showtime went on to be one of the
foundation pregnant doges in the Greyline bloodline! So this was years
before Greyline was even around. They
went to every breeder on the East Coast. Up north to Bobby Morehouse,
Beth Jones, a friend of his Lee Fitzgerald, Flying A's, Minot's Ledge,
etc. they actually purchased a blue brindle female named "Sadey" from
Minot's Ledge. This litter was had an extraordinary pedigree. The top
half were mainly Flying A's dogs like "Oreo" and "Reo Speedwagon". Dogs
he had seen and liked. You could see in the extended pedigree how these
dogs stemmed from Ruffian dogs. Then you could see how it went back
even further from the AKC Ruffian dog to the UKC Colby dogs. This top
half of the pedigree actually showed how Pits eventually were
registered as Staffs! Dave thought that was cool to see on paper and in
a dog he owned. Then the bottom half of the ped went right back to
Stratton dogs. Dogs like Going light Barney, dogs he grew up reading
about! Thanks to Richard Stratton, Then behind them were the same Colby
dogs he saw on the top half of the pedigree. So he had this dog that
showed the history of the Am. Staff and the directions the Colby line
went in the UKC. he also purchased a male named "Razors Edge Blue
Maxx". His top half was a dog named "StoryTime's Upon this Rock" AKA
"Peter" Peter was a dog bred by Beth Jones. He was a big dog, but kinda
ugly. They bred him to "Wassuc's Farm Maggie May". Dave really liked
this compact girl. He researched her lines and found she was Ryan. When
they got to see the Ryan dogs they were surprised to see they were game
dogs. They were AKC registered Staffs, but they still bred for game
dogs! This was something Dave had never seen, I'm sure that's why the
AKC people didn't like that line, . However; Dave loved it! Bully,
game, blue, staffs! Now that's what I am talking about! Maxx was there
boy from this blood. Now Razors Edge was big ADBA game dogs, one UKC
Blue Brindle girl, and a Big hot Blue Fawn AKC boy. In
Va there was Sharon Stone of Cloverhill, who had the biggest Staffs
Dave had ever seen! Her old stuff was huge! Too tall for what he was
looking for, but huge! They changed years later and went more showy.
Paco, was in Dave’s opinion actually a throw back of her older days.
Ginny York, Pam Perdue, GiGi, the Garretts, etc….they visited them all.
Even went down to Florida and checked out Marsha Woods. Met KC Courtier
of Watchdog Kennels. Eventually, went up to Md and met Kimmar Kennels.
As soon as Dave stepped on the ranch, he knew he had found the build he
was looking for! The Razors Edge package was almost complete. Razors
Edge also had been advertising in the Washington Post for many years.
Some young dudes from DC used to come down and hang out and bring their
dogs. Edwin Salinas and Joey Nevils were two of them. These guys had
been buying dogs from Kimmar and mixing their own pits in them too.
Kimmar used to have an ad in the post under the Pit Bull ads, it said
"Petey pups". They didn't want their dogs to be labeled as Pits; but
they advertised directly under Pits? Hmmmmmm? Not as Staff? Anyway,
local people knew the deal and picked up a lot of her dogs. Joey,
Edwin, Joey's pops, and their boys had a bunch of these dogs. Even some
old friends of Dave’s Jerry and Gerrold had yards with these dogs. They
all had game stuff in the mix. dave tapped into a lot of their dogs as
well. In
Kimmar's yard he learned a lot about breeding and genetics. Dave spent
every weekend there for almost three years, and actually put on a
training class for all her buyers every Sunday. Razors
Edge had been breeding now for a few generations and even used a lot of
her dogs from other people in the mix. Ron, also had some York dogs,
and some other AKC stuff, they experimented with. Before they got
Knuckles or any of them, Razors Edge was already in the game. Kimmar
actually used there dog Maxx for some breedings. Eventually we
purchased around 15 dogs from her line, including Knuckles and Rage.
While these pups were growing, Razors Edge already had it's formula.
They just wanted a different head. They were not given papers on some
of these dogs and they had to be UKC registered instead! This is where
Razors Edge became heavily involved in UKC. Dave started searching for
a better head and came into some Watchdog stuff. KC was not breeding
anymore, so he had to find that blood somewhere else. he bought dogs
from Grapevine Kennels, and also hit up Hughzee's, who he believe later
on became Chaos Kennels. They had been talking to Pam from Gaff Kennels
for a few years, and really liked a boy name Seiko! So they got a dog
from her. So Dave experimented with a lot of lines and different dogs.
Razors Edge started having a real consistent look. The heads were big,
but they still wanted them to be a little blockier. A few generations
later it was pretty much there. So
by taking combinations of dogs and bloodlines Dave eventually got to
the style of pitbull he wanted, now called "Bully Style" of Pitbulls,
Meaning large in size, such as a large head, wide chest, short blocky
muzzles, large, but not over done bone, and a shorter back, but at the
same time correct as the United Kennel Club and American Kennel Club
judge by. Razors
Edge purchased a pup from the breeding of Kimmars Catt Man Roo and
Pam’s White Path China Black. These two dogs produce a few dogs in the
litter that helped to promote the Razors Edge line, dogs such as:
UKC-GR CH Razors Edge Throwin Knuckles, UKC-CH Razors Edge Inna Rage,
and Razors Edge Sapphire Lil. Another breeding that produced one of the
most famous pregnant doges in the history of Razors Edge was between
UKC-Ch. Jackson’s GMJ Mr. Brooks and Razors Edge SilverSadey of ML
which produced UKC-GR. CH. Razors Edge Sadey’s Paddington and also
Kim's Blue Dekota. Dave used UKC-Ch. CloverHill’s Watuka Spirit AKA
Paco and bred him to Paddington, which produced the legendary UKC-CH.
Razors Edge Purple Rose of Cairo, the most famous dog of all the Razors
Edge dogs today in my opinion. Razors Edge Kenna Claddaugh, Razors Edge
Top Notch Chino, Razors Edge Chi Chi of Trueblue, Tonka and Jigga and
Iced Mocha are also productions from this breeding. When
the time was right the grand champion knuckles was bred to Paddington,
which produced another female, named Viagra. Viagra was bred to the
legend Cairo and produced one of my favorite males Razors Edge V’s Lil
Ro, AKA "RO". They also produced Cai, Diva, Caira and a few more. RO
lives his own legacy today in producing some beautiful dogs such as
suarez bulls paco and genuine Edge's Toxic, and Titan Kennels Titan,
just to name a few of my favorite males out of him. A friend of mine at
Bully Loaded Kennels also has a son, Quake, and daughter, Faith, off of
him that will be very nice when there older. Cairo was also bred to a
few other females but I won’t name them all just ones that come to
mind, some of the important ones in my eyes, such as the Cairo and Koi
Breeding. Koi who is out of UKC-GR CH Knuckles and Dakota (Paddingtons
sister), was bred to Cairo and produced Rage, Neela, Brooklyn,
Shamrock, Rolli, Rosetta, and Diamond. Cairo was also bred to tiki and
produced a male by the name of Hennessy. Cairo was also bred to my
friends dog trixie of blackout kennels in VA and produced his male
Gooda, Bo at Bow Wow Kennels,Denile at Razors Edge Kennel, one of my
personal favorite females of Razors Edge bloodline and two others that
go by Bosko and Bun. The cairo side of razorsedge is just a fraction of
the bloodline. The line has been taking in different directions but
everythang basically stems from the knuckles, paddington, and rage
blood. Another
well known producing dog is Razors Edge CLP's Short Shot, Short Shot is
off of Buckshot and Rage, and is also a grandson to Knuckles on
Buckshots side and Rage is Knuckles sister. Shortshot has done a few
breedings is his life, such as Diamond, and more recently Paradise and
Steel. there is also sections of the blood that are almost like a line
in its own depending on what your looking for, you got the Cairo side,
the shortshot side, the you got manu side, dozer daisy line breedings,
which all of this basically ties into each and every dog produced from
razorsedge yard in the very beginning! You just have to connect them
all together. It's the facts of producing outstanding dogs from the
start and putting time and effort and lots of money into building a
dream. Razors
Edge Kennel has been involved in learning, breeding, showing, training
and raising the American Pitbull Terrier for well over 15 years and it
keeps getting better! Razorsedge will not die! It will live on through
Dave’s kids, friends, and mainly in his dogs! Razors Edge is a
bloodline for everyone, it offers show quality dogs, bully correct
dogs, bully dogs, and overdone dogs, overdone meaning extreme bone,
head, and chest, at the same time very nice dogs, but dogs that would
not be able to win in the show ring. |
