We are proud to announce that one of the dogs
we bred has become a movie star!
Blue Water's White Lightning "Blitz" of DBR
Stunt Dog/Star for "Gunner" in Cheaper By The Dozen with Steve Martin
Blitz was supposed to be the stand-in and
ended up being the main dog doing all the stunt work
Gangster did most of the close up work
In the movie poster it is Gangster

Blitz' puppy pictures


Blitz is out of Ice & Buttercup both very prey driven dogs and Blitz grew up around cattle, goats and hogs while at our place, then Blitz lived at Blue Water's Ranch from about 5 months until he was 2 where he was exposed to horses and other animals
When he was x-rayed the vet described him as dysplastic, so he was neutered and placed with Mike and Dea as a stand in for Gangster. It became apparent that Blitz was far more talented then we knew and he became the lead dog. Blitz still enjoys good health and shows no sign of any problems. This is why x-raying is so important to the breed. It does not mean a dog is not a great dog, and in many cases still live a normal healthy life,. They just should not be used as a breeding prospect.

IT HAS RECENTLY COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE OUT THERE ADVERTISING PUPS ALONG WITH REFERENCES TO CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN. THE TRUTH IS BLITZ HAS NOT SO GOOD HIPS AND WAS NEUTERED AND NEVER BRED. NONE OF HIS FULL SIBLINGS WERE EVER BRED EITHER. WE DO HAVE DOGS "RELATED" TO BLITZ BUT THERE ARE NO DIRECT DECEDENTS. GANGSTER WAS NEVER BRED EITHER

THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE APBT COMMUNITY CLAIMING BLITZ TO TRY TO REDEEM THE REPUTATION OF APBTS. WHILE I DON'T AGREE WITH BSL, THE FACT IS BLITZ IS AN AMERICAN BULLDOG. THANKS, LORI HAAKER
