J.Park with his line bred Breay stock , influences of both border and bull, mid 70's I think
In 1850s a high sheriff bought a black broken coated bull + terrier from london and took it to the lakes
Brian told me he used his Grandfathers dog fells which had been mated to two tiny pit bulls over his border Bitch , he line bred those then used Frank Bucks Davey, then most of the studs he used for new blood were Breay/Buck blood
The type was around in the Mid 1800's as a chocolate type, Breay /Buck type changed in the 1950s, C.Breay brought in a new brood bitch a very hard chocolate coloured terrier that produced black terriers with the bull type head .... choc bitch probs a bull cross
its a made up line by Tom anguss , with made up stories ,along with a false patterdale data base full of false pedigrees , hes R.booths peddler in the UK , looking for gulible buyers in the USA
Nice close up for you , he'd been in the ground the day before hard work tight wet clay hole , hes built like a tank but not massive and hes not foolish with himself bays until he knows your breaking through, a joy ?
