RAZORS EDGE PITBULLS

Razors Edge was created in MD and in Washington DC by Dave Wilson and Carlos Barksdale. They started out with game dogs. They started by researching information on American Pit Bull Terriers in order to start the line "Razor edge bloodline". They subscribed to many dog magazines like the ADBA Gazette, even some underground ones that were not as popular. They contacted many breedings to find out information about the breed and how to start a bloodline, If it said Pit Bull, they were researching about it. At the time they owned a few Back Yard Bred non-papered american pitbulls. They even had there own Pit club & went hiking and camping in the woods. Eventually they got enough money together to get some decent papered, decent bloodline, game bred dogs. They purchased some of the best game bred dogs that were available at the time. They even paid $3500 way back then for a Grandson of the great "Plumbers Alligator", mainly Mayfield lines. Dave and Carlos were very heavy into the game lines and had dogs from Hemphill to Wilder blood. These were big game dogs and very well known. You could say they were the Remy Martin's and Juan Gotty's of the game dogs.

Later on they got in contact with George Williams in Washington DC. They purchased a dog they named Diablo, from Wildside Kennels. Diablo's sire was a bigger catch dog, by the name of "Hollinsworth Bull". His dam was a game girl names "Wildsides Ms.Leaky". This was the turn around time when Razors Edge started adding more size, bone, and structure to their program. The first ever registered "ADBA" Razors Edge breeding was from his Mayfield sire Zeus to a Mayfield bitch name Jinx. Jinx was actually given to friend back then named Curt Plater, now goes by CLP Kennels. Curt owned the first ever Razors Edge Registered dog. They would lose contact with him after this for many years before hooking up again. They banned Pits in PG County and Dave was forced to move out of the area. Eventually through Dave’s job in the Pet Store industry he landed a mangers job at a Pet Store in Virginia. He had to move to Virginia and still resides there as Razors Edge Kennel.

Dave Wilson of Razor’s Edge Kennels set out to develop a line of dogs that many today believe to be one of the most significant undertakings in the history of our beloved breed, the American Pit Bull Terrier. When Young Dave Wilson began breeding dogs, the name Razor Edge was one of anonymity. Dave was determined however to put the name Razors Edge on the map. How could he accomplish that? Well it wouldn’t be easy. You see when Dave first started breeding Pit Bulls; there were already a number of various well established Pitbull “Bloodlines”, each with its own uniqueness, with its own qualities and characteristics. To the untrained eye, they looked much the same. Yet to the experienced breeder such as Dave Wilson, it was not the similarities, but the differences that caught Dave’s eye. And it was in these differences that Dave saw an opportunity. Dave toured the country going from one breeder to the next. Looking for certain characteristics, certain features that he would use in time to create a breed of Pit Bull that would carry the Razor Edge banner. The process was long and arduous. But yet, with carefully planned, well chosen breedings, Dave Wilson was able to create in a period of seven generations the model by which Razor’s Edge Pitbulls are measured today.

Razor Edge Bloodlines

20 years ago, Razors Edge Kennel was simply an idea, a dream in the mind of Dave Wilson. Today, Razor Edge Bloodlines are the most sought after bloodlines in the world. In fact often times demanding and fetching prices double and triple that of any other “PitBull” Bloodline. And therein lays the story that often comes with success; as one achieves and reaches the pinnacle of success it is often without controversy. And Razor’s Edge has certainly had it's share, as many others who have excelled in any given endeavor can testify to. For whatever reason, possibly simply human nature, many have a hard time excepting that others are able to do what they cannot. Instead of attributing the success to hard work, vision and business smarts, they would rather think that he must of cheated somehow. And with that, new stories are created nearly every day, in the attempt to soil the name of Razor Edge. But Yet, with every brick of falsehood that is thrown at Dave Wilson he takes delight in the words of another famous visionary who said: “A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him or her”. Today, tens of thousands of people who own Razor’s Edge dogs take delight in Dave Wilson and his vision of the ultimate version of “man’s best friend”.

I cannot begin to tell you the joy it brings, to walk down the road with a Blue Razor’s Edge Pitbull at your side. Try it and see how far you get without someone stopping to inquire and to gaze. Without a doubt your decision to purchase Razor Edge Pitbull puppies from LCP will bring you many years of joy. And no doubt you too, will take delight each time you are approached and asked what kind of dog is that! Thanks Dave!
