I think he's a cute mix-breed dog, he's not a pit OBVIOUSLY(!!)
I think whats really scary is people will think this is an actual pitbull (even though he about 100lbs bigger than he should be for an APBT)

I get comments about my small Pit Bulls all the time. At 38 and 55 lbs (female and male) they're just right! It's no wonder where the confusion comes from...

The kennel he's from says their dogs are UKC and ADBA "APBT". Yeah no, I looked over a few of the pedigrees, they are American Bullies. I'm assuming that they are reg'd with UKC per their new policies as Am Bullies, and ADBA I don't know what they are doing, I guess registering these still as APBT? Who knows. Sad. Also, it looks like only SOME of their dogs are actually registered. The dogs that appear obviously mixed aren't listed as reg'd with UKC or ADBA (I'm snooping around their site). There has been a lot of talk about the kennel on FB the last few days. Only go to their website if you want to be sick for the rest of the day. Like how about a $20,000 stud fee on a dog with no titles and no health certs? Oh but he weights 165 lbs and he's still growing, so yeah, there's that. (This is for The Hulk) Yeah, this breed is in a sad state of affairs. And this is why, if the dog is not a rescue, I'm AKC exclusive. They may have their problems but at least they don't register things like this as "purebred ASTs":  |

just more of the "everything is a pit bull" crap ... You know you can't tell a breed just by LOOKING at it, you know.....

The "experts" out there spreading misinformation seem to be more numerous than ever. And this guy thinks he's actually helping "the breed". I don't think this is someone who would ever listen to anyone else either, he deems himself an expert and so it is. "Because Pit Bulls are only in the media when bad things happen, this myth of them as monsters gets perpetuated," Grannan added, "but it's not true. They might not be for everyone, but under a good leader and with proper training, they make amazing family and work or protection dogs." abcnews.go.com/US/175-pound-pit-bull-hulk-shatters-misconceptions-breed/story?id=29353371&cid=fb_gma_sf |

Allegedly this guy also trains dogs for his local police department. That's some scary shit.

This is what I posted on the RPB Facebook page and also ADBA in case anyone missed it did post that Hulk is not registered with them:
RPB statement on "the world's biggest Pit Bull, Hulk": We wish people would stop sharing that dog "Hulk" and calling him a Pit Bull. He's not a Pit Bull. We are still researching his pedigree but the breeder very obviously has American Bully lines and is calling dogs "APBTs" that clearly are not. The breeder of Hulk
claims that his dogs are ADBA and UKC registered. The ADBA states, "... applications of dogs coming off of UKC bloodlines will have to pass greater scrutiny, which may include DNA verification, so we may purge the UKC corrupt [American Bully] lines from our studbook." At this time, we do not believe Hulk is registered with the ADBA. In addition, the UKC states "In the opinion of UKC, any dog looking significantly different from those described in
the standard, including dogs with physical traits
associated with “bullys,” will not be eligible for registration as UKC American Pit Bull Terriers." So neither do we believe that Hulk is UKC registered as an APBT. IF he is registered as any breed at all. If you can prove this is a registered APBT, we'd like to know. Otherwise, please do us all a favor and stop a) calling this dog a "pit bull" and b) giving his breeder all this free publicity. Just say NO to Hulk crossposting!
