@ILikeCheezeits Oh I know all about the "Pit Bull" & yes, its an umbrella term however having worked as a vet assistant for 5 years my vet clarified it this way: A true Pit Bull is bred without concern for pedigree & proper breeding records for breeding OUT problems/problem dogs. Many Pits are raised solely for their aggressive behavior and not to be the kind, loving & loyal dogs they were originally known for. Backyard breeders have essentially ruined many lines & thus the breed gets a bad rap.
@joeluis98 There were different Petes used throughout the series. The first Pete had the circle on the right eye. The second Pete (who came in after the first one passed on in 1930) is the one we're seeing here. He had the circle on the left eye. The third Pete came in after Pete # 2 retired in 1932. He had the circle on the right eye.
I remembered they featured this dog in Ripley's.. the ring was considered an oddity.. for tv.. they filled in the ring on his fur with ink .. I thought that was pretty cool
The Original Petie (shown in this clip) was from a Champion Breeder and international Judges of the breed, - Mr & Mrs Ormsby, Pine Street, Hornell NY 14843. Although both of them are deceased now, I am sure you should be able to find some information from AKC. The official breed was American Staffordhire Terrier and NOT a pitbull as so many mistakenly call the breed. I hope this was of some help...Stacey
@AcrossTheBIGPond The dog in this clip was not the original petey. The original petey was named pal the wonder dog, and he was out of Earl Tudors Black Jack. And this petey and the original petey were both american pitbull terriers. The breed wasn't separated between american staffordshire terrier and the american pitbull terrier until 1936.
@AcrossTheBIGPond Just making sure you realize that "pit bull" is an umbrella term for the bully breeds (including American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.)
@WretchMg the father of this dog was a champion fighter from Colby's dog.You can find in Pitbull pedigree online also that bring you back in the 1870 also.bye

Part Pit Bull, Petey is a great example that they are not bad dogs.....

@TheVirajster Agreed, I don't own a Pit Bull but I do know that they are great dogs. They are only bad if they are trained to be bad.
