'PR' Yankee Pride Hobgoblyn (a.k.a. Goblyn) was my first UKC registered American Pit Bull Terrier. Shown many times, she never did get the majors she needed to finish, although she easily had the 100 points. She was down from Amber-Lite breeding. Bred by Janelle Hongel of Yankee Pride kennels in Washington State, she got me started on the road to chasing titles and "doing stuff" with my dogs. May she rest in peace, sweet little girl.
'PR' Amberlt Colriv Dream Come True (a.k.a. "Uma") was my replacement for Goblyn, many years later. However it was not to be. She stole our hearts and would take turns cleaning out the ears on the Bostons. Uma developed some temperament problems and was laid to rest about 10 months old.
UWP CH 'PR' Preacher's Exclusive Enzo CGC TT was my ideal of what an American Pit Bull Terrier should be. Conformationally correct, he earned his championship with ease even taking a Best of Winners. He had lovely effortless movement, and a rock stable temperament. Bred by Parish Plumlee in Washington state, he was also down from Amber-Lite lines. He also earned his weight pull title without too much trouble and seemed to enjoy the challenge. He was friendly and athletic and everything one could want in a dog. Unfortunately for Enzo, he started having seizures. They were occasional to start with but it wasn't long before they became more frequent and started affecting his quality of life. Putting him on pheno didn't seem to help and with a very heavy heart we made the difficult decision to put him down. If only they could all be like him...
