The Colby Bloodline - History of the Colby Pit Bull

John P. Colby (1875-1941) started breeding his own line of  American Pit Bull Terriers starting in 1889. He acquired the best dogs he could find from both  England and Ireland. They were brought here by immigrants on boats to ports as Boston, Portsmouth, Ma, NH as well as New York. The bloodline know as Colby Pit Bulls has been bred since this period of time.
