    Bull Terriers are in general a noisy breed , maybe be easier to get sounders than the more mute SBT , back in 1970s it was also easier to find racy bull terriers ,compared to SBTs.... so easier to get offspring narrow enough to go to ground,,?

    I don't think , when these crosses ware done,,, that there was any big plan ,,,it was usually done by people who just happened to have a bull terrier in their yard and did it ,,,

    But all the bloodline that get real tight ,,usually produce weak low standard dogs ,,, any how who said ,,all dogs in Europe , East Europe are scatter bred,,? the lines I'm going by that are very tight bred ,,that are now poor dogs ,,are Colby , Old Family red nose , Mayfield ,, Nobody said the European dogs are all scatter bred, but I know they liked to breed best to best. I've been on certain forums and the boys from the east don't half like to brag about how superior their dogs are because of the rules they use.... They brag because they can get away with it,,, if people who could br

    I don't believe you get any better percentage of good dogs from tight bred dogs, plenty of scatter bred dogs ,,,produce ,,,dogs like Ch Jeep ,,his sire was no way related to his dam ,,his dam's parents ware not related to each other ,,,when he was alive he was one of ,,if not the top producer,,,

    Tbh the Eastern Europeans know little about line breeding and such, they are generally scatterbred dogs selected from best to best matings... Are tight bred dogs any better bred,,? the east European dogs are as good as any dogs,,, its the results that show if a breeding is good, plenty of these tight bred dogs ,,like Mayfield, Colby , Old family red nose strains,,usually bred for their peds ,,, and have a low percentage of good dogs...

    Some Boudreaux dogs ,,from Ireland,,, http://www.apbt.online-pedigrees.com/public/printPedigree.php?dog_id=110313 http://www.apbt.online-pedigrees.com/public/printPedigree.php?dog_id=342757

    No APBTs ever come merle , if they come that colour , they are not APBTs ,,,some mut has being added I've heard first hand from dogmen in America of the odd merle popping up in some litters never heard of one being allowed to grow on though. If it didn't pop up from time to time in APBT lines why would they bother to explicitly ban the colour in the standard? It pops up in some lines but it's undesirable because it shows a link to the general purpose farm bulldogs used as backcrosses in the early days of the breed. It doesn't make dogs expressing the merle gene any less pure though, ju

    Of course they did...and no doubt took their Game dogs and Game cocks with them...as did the English,Irish,Welsh and Cornish dogmen...its a modern day romantic myth that the APBT originates from dogs that 'mostly' came from Ireland No romantic ideas at all. It's more or less a fact that the Irish originally got their dogs from the British and the Irish bloodlines were popular with the yanks.So after the British left their dogs with the Irish the Irish just made them better. Same as today with terrier lines (patterdales, russe Thats your opinion and your entitled to it...its an ignorant one

    A man hears what he wants to hear...and disregards the rest...or so the song goes...im no History expert but in regards to the pioneers of the APBT who made an impact on the breed...J.P Colby springs to mind...he emigrated to America from Wales taking dogs with him...yes he imported dogs from Ireland...but also from England too...then theres Earl Tudor...whos favored line of dogs where the Henry dogs...an English Bloodline...and of course theres Cockney Charlie Lloyd...with his famous foundation dog Pilot...a dog whelped in a pub in Walsall...i think yours is a bit of a romantic view...and one
