English Bull Terriers

[WorkingBullandTerrier 132]

By the way, my last post was not directed to anyone specific, it was a general statement to any and everyone reading that may not have full bulldogs knowledge.

 

I'd like to add my .02 cents on the using BT's for work statement.

 

Although the breed has been morphed so drastically physically......I believe that alot of these dogs still have the drive and the heart to WANT to be a dog. My Shiner dog is 'show' bred, but he is so drivey that the average person would have probably rehomed him by now due to lack of understanding. I look forward to seeing how my dog turns out in the future. It was the same case for my husband's bitch. She's turned out to be a great CD.

 

Now, I keep my dog lean, and exercize him alot, so as far as wind goes, he's pretty good there. Would I compare him to one of my conditioned bulldogs? DEFINATELY not. But for how he is structured and the shape I keep him in, he's fine.

 

Just a couple shots if him messing around in the yard

Eugene glass wrote a book called 'the sporting bull terrier'. It will show you evidence to the contrary.

 

The book is about AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIERS... NOT ENGLISH BULL TERRIERS

 

Thanks for putting that in capitals, NOW READ PAGES 5-16 if you have got the book. Cheers

Just wanted to add my point of view and i have far/none from the experience workinBT have, but about genetics and DA behaviour and think that goes with a lot of breeds not be trusted to get in scramble at a certain situation, guard dogs, alsations, airforce dogs, rottweilers etc. some dogs are more dominant from the start but some has to be cranked to even open their mouth. i see your point but also keeping them on a chain all day doesnt make them more social then keeping them as a "pet". yard accident rarely occur w 2 dogs living toghether with an owner under normal circumstances, its usually a hinge or a collar that goes of in a yard of bulldogs and then its just what it is. I do believe "security" thinking comes first and its easier to keep that line for the public, but it also makes the hype of bulldogs or bull n terrier breeds "machine" like in that behaviour and i dont think its fair all the way. i dont think genetics can be trained away but i dont buy the hard-wired idea of world view either so i think its more then jusg genes that code proteins that make dogs what they are.....just my 5 cents

do you lads think you can take a show type ebt and keep it in lean condition or is it not to be done ??????

[neilsherlock 226]

heres a couple of pics, too many, sorry. i owned the brindle bitch. The white dog is my brothers, thunder rock bred and everything a bullie shod be. Both were 100% driven and capable. I know the breeds in a shit state on the whole but the right types can still be found over here

 

 

the brindle bitch is show bred and was not shy of work, sharp as a tack. She was a pleasure to condition. No i dont breed mate

I feed one right now that is 'show type' on paper. He's only a year old but is in great condition.

There is a lot of hate for show type english bull terriers but my belief is your dog is always what you make it... Mine is in great shape...

 

JAWN - What height and weight is he as he looks quite big on the photo?

 

NEILSHERLOCK - do you know of anyone breeding the inglis type bull terriers?

He's actually quite small. Around thirteen inches at the withers and fifteen pounds. I'd post some other pics of him but photobucket seems to be acting weird.
