Brazilian Monster Pit or Pit monster is a new Brazilian dog breed in phase of recognition and improvement. The breed is already recognized by some minor Brazilian Kennel clubs.[1][2]
History[edit]
Its origin is controversial due mainly to the divergence of nomenclatures and concepts of the races that make up its genetic base.
The Brazilian Monster Pit is a breed of the 21st century, developed in Brazil from the breeding between dogs of "monstrous" appearance, related or not to the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Bully and Molosser dogs (American Bulldogs and others). Its basic genetics are composed by strains of heavy dogs that currently are part of at least three other distinct breeds, such as the Camelot and McKenna bloodlines that are part of the American Working Red[3]; the Chevy bloodline that is part of the Working Pit Bulldog[4][5][6][7]; and the Razor Edge bloodline that is part of the American Bully[8][9]; crossbred with pit bulls related to the Brazilian bloodlines Thompson, Amichetti and Canchin, and dogs of unknown pedigree.[10][11]
The Brazilian Monster Pit is strongly intertwined with the Extreme and XL American Bully varieties.[12] Conceptually they are very close, including in the genetic area.
Features[edit]
They are heavy and broad, with heavy bones and a large, powerful skull with well developed masseters. All colors are accepted, but their main coat color is red, red nose, often with white markings on the chest and feet. Other coat colors are gray (blue, blue nose), black, white, etc. The desirable height of the males is above 50 cm at the withers and the desirable weight is above 45 kg.[2]
Recognition[edit]
For many years the Brazilian Monster Pit was registered in some clubs in an almost veiled way under the American Pit Bull Terrier nomenclature, since the Brazilian Monster Pit does not meet the standard of this breed, which generated discussion between the breeders of the two different races. However at least two clubs (IBC and ABBR) started to grant pedigrees for the new breed with the current Brazilian Monster Pit nomenclature, causing many dogs to migrate from pedigrees with an incorrect name to one corresponding to the breed.
The first clubs to recognize the Brazilian Monster Pit were the International Bully Coalition (IBC) and the American Bully Brazil Registry (ABBR). The breed standard is still open to future modifications.[2][1]
The Pit Bull Clube do Brasil headquartered in Rio de Janeiro includes the Brazilian Monster Pit as well as American Bully in Conformation shows affiliated with the American Preservation Dog Registry (APDR) of United States.
