Boudreaux–Eli bloodlines at Dognik Bulls kennel
The Boudreaux–Eli bloodlines represent some of the oldest and most recognizable American Pit Bull Terrier bloodlines in the history of the breed.
These bloodlines are considered true classics of American APBT breeding
and form the foundation of many historical and modern pedigrees.
At Dognik Bulls kennel,
Boudreaux–Eli blood is present in the pedigrees of nearly all our dogs, reflecting our commitment to preserving classic American bloodlines within a modern, responsible breeding program.
Historical background of the Boudreaux–Eli bloodlines
The Boudreaux bloodline is historically associated with the work of
Floyd Boudreaux, one of the most influential figures in American Pit Bull Terrier history.
The Eli line emerged as a significant branch within the broader Boudreaux family of blood,
and over time the names Boudreaux and Eli became closely interconnected in APBT pedigrees.
These bloodlines gained recognition for producing dogs with strong structure, intensity, and classic American type.
Boudreaux–Eli bloodlines in modern pedigrees
Today, pure and isolated Boudreaux–Eli lines are rare.
Rather than existing as separate, closed populations, these bloodlines now appear as historically important components within the pedigrees of purebred American Pit Bull Terriers.
At Dognik Bulls, Boudreaux–Eli blood can be found in the ancestry of nearly every dog in our kennel, demonstrating continuity with classic American breeding traditions.
The Eli dog as a historical reference
One of the most significant dogs associated with these bloodlines
was Boudreaux’s Eli, a black male that became widely referenced in APBT pedigrees.
His influence can still be traced today, both in pedigree records and in the physical traits
seen in some modern dogs.
