There was very important breeding of X-Pert Black Jack II to X-Pert Satin Boots in 1977. It was inbreeding III-I on Satin Boots. The litter had a brindle colored boy, named Atila Of Suregrip. Well known dog White Devil's Killer SchH II was sired by Atila. Now some of today's X-Pert staffs have strong influence of these dogs.
In 1978 John McCarthy bred his X-Pert Brindle Nellie's daughter, Nellie II to Ch.X-Pert Roman Grit. Ch.McCarthy's X-Pert Sai, McCarthy's X-Pert Little Mick, McCarthy's X-Pert Miggs were born there.
Victor Castanada bred Dixie Lilly Of Suregrip to Ch.X-Pert Cherokee in 1978 to produce Ch.Spikette Of Suregrip, who is in many of Barway's pedigrees now.
Suregrip Valiant Boots was bred to X-Pert Brindle Rocky in Rhody's Amstaffs. Lynda Snably purchased Danao Tiny Dancer "Kayla" from that litter. Here are some words of Lynda about Kayla: "I know that at the time I bought Kayla they had Ch. Sooner's True Grit of Rhody (Buster) there with them. He was a beautiful black brindle dog with a great personality. It was his personality that convinced my husband and I to make the purchase. We were expecting my first child at the time and of course, wanted a dog that would be good with children. In all the years we had Amstaffs, and later Pitbulls, we were NEVER disappointed there!!! We moved to Virginia and I started showing her as an American Pitbull Terrier, believe it or not? She was triple registered AKC, ADBA and UKC. She won several firsts and took several group wins at the "Old Dominion Pitbull Club" that my husband and I helped start back in the 80's. Kayla was a great producer and one of the best dogs I ever had the pleasure of owning" Her littermate Ironman K.O. was shown only 2 times and took 2 majors.Here is their pedigree.
