It's true, we Irish are a very competitive lot.

Just look at our records in greyhounds, racehorses, boxers and other's etc.

It's not bad for a small country who population is around the same as 1/3 of London's.

 

I dont think they are any more competetive than any other part of Britain........would you not agree that a lot of the relative success the Irish have had with sporting animals,particularly dogs.......has a lot to do with the freedom they have regards to laws and the open spaces etc compared to somewhere like London ?

 

 

Same with America, a lot easier to find the true greats in a line when you can keep a yard of 100 dogs like some of the big names over there. Can't imagine that ever being possible in England.

 

Absolutely,but not only that its the day to day living as well......try keeping a dog on a 20 foot chain in London with no prying eyes looking into the yard,if you can find a yard big enough for a 20 foot chain that is........complaints about noise......having to be nocturnal in your exercising habits......finding somewhere safe and suitable to work dogs etc etc.......the fact so many succesful dogs came out of London was an achievement in itself the Irish had it easy in comparison !

Always thought the pit bull was a English breed which the Americans adopted their name to it. Also read that the pit bull is the working equivalent of the Staffordshire bull terrier

they originally came from the same stock, the old sporting bull and terriers/pit dogs that were taken over the pond by the immigrant wave from these great british isles. but there is no denying that the yanks took the ball we threw and ran with it, hence why from the late 70's and 80's we was importing the stuff back as our own illustrious breed had fallen to wrack and ruin on the whole...

I know a guy who breeds the very well. The best I've ever seen. Some compete with Bulldogs. There's also a few breeders in the UK, France, Australia, Italy, Slovakia, Poland, etc.
