    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

    Dogs of yore - a virtual tour through Bull Terrier past.html Bull Terrier back then came all sizes ,,,just Google James Hinks ..or history of Bull terrier... The stuffed dog in the earlier photo are Bull terriers,,,
  17. Carlovian
    The two dogs in the photograph above are Bull terriers and nothing else,,, Hinks' Bull terriers came in all sizes , read any old book on bull terriers and it will show his early dogs ware all smallish,,,, the stuffed dogs are modern Bull terriers ,,,with errect ears ,, after Cropping was banned..

    You should watch the news the only people who do well from Charitys are the people running them... I rather see the organizers of the show get the profit....
  19. Carlovian
    Is there some rule if people run a show it has only to be for a charity, ? Is there some thing wrong with the organisers making a profit,,, ? sound like your a bit jealous... they put a lot of time and effort in the show , hope they make a mint...

    Just found this, If you look under named dog "My Tim" you will see his dam was called "Prospect Lass" I'm sure she was a proven bitch, as the men back then wouldn't have used her otherwise. Some well known names of working Wheatens on that list.http://irishwheaten.com/?p=101 There is a few known working dogs in that list....

    Some Wheatens at Tandragee a few years back...

    30kg Kerry Blue Terrier.... either some other large breed mixed in or very very fat.... Kerry Blues weight about 40lbs ..(18kg)
  23. Carlovian
    I don't understand your post ?,,,, I meant I don't think the owners of the dogs would like their names being put up here...
  24. Carlovian
    Not mine , I was not into Wheatens... the lines would be names of the owners.... I don't know if they'd like them up here...

    I think the last year federation trials ware held was back in 1984 ... here are some photos of Wheaten Terriers from before then....
