chartpolski 20,374 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 I doubt anyone knows exactly when the first APBT's were imported into the U.K., but my pal imported two in the very early 70's. He gifted a bitch pup to my brother and I, I wanted to breed lurchers from her, my brother wanted to breed pure bulls. Neither of us got our way as she was killed chasing a collie down the coast road in Newcastle ! In 72 I was offered the choice of a APBT x Grey and a Deer x Grey. I choose the deer x. So, APBT and their crosses were definitely around in the 70's. Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Bitch my dog came out of was a weird thing. I can see her in my minds eye. I don't really think she'd match up to many concepts of the huge variety of looks we still call 'APBT'. There was just something about her. Regarding who brought or bought what, from where and whom, when? I don't know. I wasn't everywhere. There was no internet. Perhaps there's some cross point of discussion opening up here? The dogs I knew of and think of were got and kept for only one thing. And greyhounds didn't enter into it. But, then; Didn't Plummer, in one of his earlier books, allude to some herbert who turned up with a van full of bodies, and, while I can't remember fukk all about it now, it was something like he had this 'monster' with him? I wasn't there either. Couldn't say Here's one of my early dogs. Before they became more common place and refined: [ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
