Dirk's parents were straight from Bert Sorrells' yard. Let it be said that Dirk comes from "tested" stock and leave it at that. Dirk was very, very fortunate to leave that life behind; it grieves me to think of such an active, intelligent and playful dog living out his entire life on a chain with no mental stimulation. Lucky Dirk - his life is filled with work and play, as it should be.

From what I have seen of the Sorrells dogs they have one thing in common - a very steady, trustworthy temperament with humans. They tend to be a little "handler soft", especially the bitches, but that is appropriate for a powerful and determined animal in my opinion. We have seen what a pit bull can do when it is not mentally sound and friendly.

I originally took Dirk because I liked what I had seen of the line (despite some conformational issues) and I wanted to prove that a "gamebred" intact male American pit bull could be taken to the highest levels of dog training with "pure positive" training. In this I succeeded.

Dirk is all bulldog. First and foremost he adores people. He is physically very tough. He is strong, agile and athletic. He has superb prey/toy drive and passes it on to his offspring. And, best of all, he is a happy, fun loving life companion I consider myself VERY fortunate to have hooked up with. At ten years of age, he still jumps out of the van, grabs his leash and PULLS! He lives to work.
