In the world of American Pit Bull Terriers (APBT) and game dogs, few names resonate as strongly as Cune’s Iron Kid 1xw 1xlg ROM.

This Serbian-born dog has left an undeniable mark in APBT history, celebrated for his achievements in competition and his lasting impact on bloodlines that continue his legacy today.

CUNE’S "IRON KID": The Legacy of a Game Dog in APBT History

In the late 1980s, Serbian dogman Cune imported a dog from Holland, bred from Van Herpen’s Ace and Garlaunis’ Susy. This dog was officially registered as Garlaunis’ Rambo, but became widely recognized as Iron Kid.

His exact number of victories remains uncertain, but his most famous match was a 50-minute battle against the renowned Radonjic’s Jumbo ROM, where Jumbo was picked up after making a game courtesy scratch. Following this triumph, Iron Kid became one of the most sought-after stud dogs, producing exceptional offspring during his time at Cune’s yard.

Origins of Cune’s Iron Kid

Impact on APBT Breeding

As a stud, Iron Kid contributed significantly to the game dog world, producing remarkable dogs across various bloodlines. Some of his most notable descendants include:

✅ Zelenovic’s Cobra ROM (2W, 1L) – Born from his breeding with Bijeljina Boys’ Lola ROM.

✅ Sole’s CH Black Jack, a product of his pairing with Goscak’s Rita (daughter of CH Yellow Tom x Art’s Sister Haidi). Black Jack secured three victories before competing against Miki’s Pluton in an intense 4-hour and 10-minute match at nine years of age.

✅ Ritter Kennels’ Inka ROM, from his breeding with Timotije’s Tea, a Country Boys inbred female. Inka ROM went on to produce champions such as CH Sweet Becky, CH Krik, and GRCH Boogie Boy.

Controversy Surrounding His Legacy

Later in his career, Iron Kid was sold to K. Kovacs in Hungary, where he continued his breeding legacy. However, his reputation suffered when, at nine years old, he lost to Jevuczo’s Alligator, leading to a decline in popularity of his bloodline.

Many enthusiasts mistakenly confuse Cune’s Iron Kid with Savich’s CH Iron Kid, also known as Gadža. To clarify:

• Savich’s CH Iron Kid was the son of Cune’s Iron Kid and Radonjic’s Missy.

• Gadža had an impressive record, achieving seven consecutive victories in the 47.3 to 51.7 lbs weight class while competing in Russia under the ownership of Oleg Guliakov, before being acquired by Victor Savich.

• In addition to his success in competition, Gadža proved to be an exceptional stud, producing champions such as GRCH Skirz, CH Ray, CH Kinto, CH Rambo, CH Shket, and CH Gina.

A Lasting Legacy in APBT History

The influence of Iron Kid in the game dog world and the American Pit Bull Terrier breed remains significant. His descendants continue to uphold his bloodline, ensuring his legacy endures.

While his career had both victories and setbacks, Iron Kid’s impact on APBT breeding is undeniable. Whether remembered for his performance in the pit or his remarkable stud history, he remains a key figure in the history of game dogs.
