Well just going off the dogs I glanced at to me they looked like UKC show dogs or more amstaff than game bred dogs ... Is this line supposed to be amstaff? Or would you consider it a show line? When I say big/large I don't mean big/large like american bully large I mean big as in not the average 30-55 lb game bred dog ...
California pits tekla castillo
I recently saw a pair of dogs from this breeder and I was impressed to say the least. Does anyone have any first hand experience with this breeder or his dogs? Any info would be greatly appreciated thankyou.

There is a Castillo forum and also the breeders' have links on their site. That would be the best way to get answers if you are interested in the dogs.
here is the link to it:

Thanks Patch I am not really interested in the dogs per say I was just asking if you knew what this line was considered to be if it was an amstaff/show line. But after doing a quick google search I found out it's a ukc show line. Thanks for your helpThere is a Castillo forum and also the breeders' have links on their site.

Working pitbulls all the way one of his products is a national wp champ and one of his females placed 2nd. I saw these gorgeous dogs in person. They are gorgeous. They are very athletic. They are very determined. I think there dogs are very consistent but throw many varities. They may be showdogs but I think they encompass the attributes of the pit bull perfectly I especially like the male trigger. What a beast.
My boy has castillo and LAR-SAN blood and his prey drive is unreal always go go go...he is not a huge dog maybe 20-21" tall at the shoulder definitly no bully. he is a bit heavy because he is not worked at the moment. Myself personally would not call him an amstaff he is UKC/ADBA but people are calling all pitbulls with a bit more meat amstaffs?Working pitbulls all the way one of his products is a national wp champ and one of his females placed 2nd.

some game bred pits look like labs to me so go figure
I wouldn't call him an Amstaff either -because he isn't one.
And on the same note, just because Lar-San may have had one amstaff in a pedigree several light years ago, does not constitute the line as "pitterstaff" or whatever the h* you wanna call it, they (castillo & Lar-San) are both UKC show stock, not Amstaff. Castillo has it's fair share of Champions too. Castillo just happens to be an all around larger dog. And as far as bone, I prefer mine to have more than the typical Lar-San line, and thus, selectively bred for larger bone while using Lar-San blood. If some people don't like what other breeders are 'selectively' accomplishing, simply don't buy it.

You think? IMO, most people I've come across are more interested in what they want/like in look and structure, then in the bloodline itself.That's a very good question. I'd say that people are more interested in the name rather than the dog.
I feel the same way for sure...i love the bigger bone structure of castillo. I think they are beautiful pitbullsI wouldn't call him an Amstaff either -because he isn't one.

They are great dogs and don't believe everything ppl say here. The Castillo dogs are proven sporting/catch dogs (wild hogs) as well. I got my dog from Real Deal Chocolates (RDC) and they have some high blood Castillo dogs and they work them. Proof is in the pudding. If you go to the RDC website you'll see. Hemphill/Wallace foundation lines. Little on the large size but definitely not bullies. These are REAL APBT

California Pits recently updated their website with new photos of dogs from recent breedings. I was absolutely shocked at what I saw! Fat, pudgy, short legged dogs with no muscle. These are not the Castillo dogs of old! Very unimpressive looking. I'm surprised and quite disappointed with what Tekkla is producing today.
Just wanted to give a shoutout to Tekla's dogs. My buddy got one of her Castillo pups about a year ago, and let me tell ya, this dude's awesome! He's extra smart, very strong, and super loyal. He is a little stubborn, so when he's focused on something, good luck getting his attention!
I've actually been thinking about getting a female pup for myself from Tekla. Just waiting for the right time. If you're considering one of her dogs, I'd say go for it. They're seriously amazing.

i stoped looking as soon as i read "breeding for large boned"
What can I do to reduce the stress this one fish is in? Last time I had such a situation, it resulted in ich, but thankfully all fish recovered just by heat. I dont have a QT.
