It's very important to tell about Bassett's Black Satin - paternal grandsire of X-Pert Bassett's Nigger. Doubled on famous Danger Boy with rest 25% of Lamkins bloods. C.P.

In 1934 X-Pert Black Queen was bred to X-Pert Bassett's Nigger to produce a very nice litter. Clifford noted it the best to date. X-Pert Little Princess & Black Prince are most known pups of this litter.

X-Pert Little Princess was flashy brindle bitch. In 1935 she was bred to X-Pert Black Jack, a Black Queen littermate. Princess produced X-Pert Black Shine, who was one of the first AKC registered pitbulls in 1936. Black Shine was shown at Angelica NY Dog Show in 1938 and took Best Of Breed. Black Shine was very Henry dog in type, was smarty and drive. Here is his pedigree.

Clifford Ormsby: " I wasn't limited by breeding too close when I bred, because what I was using was so much outcrossed. So, if you start in with stuff that is already close bred, that's when you're going to get in trouble."

Ormsby's had some dogs from Donovan's and Clark's - Smith's bloods in 1930's. One of them was X-Pert Tiger Pal, who was bred to Loupes Of Bonniebrook to produce famous X-Pert Tiger Pat. Tiger Pat was fawn-brindle dog, spirited and smart. His dam was a granddaughter of Clifton's Nell (littersister of Ormsby's Madge). Mr.Clifton  had some dogs from Bob Tonn's line. And Loupes of Bonniebrook was sired by one of these Tonn's bred dogs.

Ormsby's used some different bloods to create their line as well. In 1935 Clifford decided to try J.P.Colby's bloods for the X-Pert bloodline, he bred Ormsby's Madge to pure Colby dog, Winde's Pat Colby. His Colby's bloods were mostly Pincher, Galtie and old Gas House bloods. Galtie dog was product of two Irish imports breeding, and both of these imported dogs were from Hutton bloodline. Breeding of Madge to Pat Colby gave 2 black bitches, they are known as X-Pert Black Lady and X-Pert Black Dollie. Here is their ped.
