Lightner's Vick was out of a Colby bitch she was english/Irish hybrid...breeding her to the Irish import Masterson's Jack made them 5/8 to 3/4 Irish. Hemphill stated that Vick and both his parents were Red, and also this was the dog they were breeding around. ...This is the begining of what we know as the "Old Family". Lightner's Vick was the winner of nearly twenty battles [Bloodlines 1921] and his reputation as a producer was renowned. They are a strain of the Pit Terrier family....
