I talked to a UKC person about a year ago. She said they still had some the older 50's Bloodline journals available and maybe some of the 40's. Might be something worth looking into.

Plan to try some of your E magazines. Want to read that article of How Tramp's Red Boy is really bred. Should be interesting. If you have time to check on the back of your 70's SDJ mags. See if there is a full ad advertisement on the Jack Carver dogs. See one SDJ mag has a front picture of one of Jack Carver's female dogs. See if he list his Satchmo dog and breeding. Cheers
CYJ, thank you for the kind words, I will pass them along.

The owner of that web site is a friend and he is the one who scanned all those magazines and made them available. The original magazines came from an old collection that I helped him buy, the collection was formed in the 1950s up to the 1990s in the Detroit area. It was a huge collection with all the issues of the SDJ and all the old Your Friend & Mine magazines in as new condition, along with hundreds of books and other magazines too.

These Yearbooks are all actually printed books and not e-books that you read on line. The SDJ magazines and the Your Friend & Mine magazines are all in book form done by year and they are a real look at bulldog history. I am very glad this collection was sold to someone who cared enough to take the time to scan each magazine and make up these yearbooks so they are available to all.

You raise an interesting thought about the old UKC Bloodlines magazines. I will ask and see if there were some of those in that old collection. I have seen some of the early issues of Bloodlines and there was a lot of good bulldog articles and photos. I subscribed to Bloodlines in the 1970s and 1980s but then they started focusing on other breeds more so I let it lapse.

But the early Bloodlines magazines would be good to have scanned and printed to preserve the pit bull info in them. It takes someone with a full run of old magazines who is willing to put in the time to scan them and submit the scans to LULU for publishing. It can be done and would be a good project…
