Aussie Whip 4,287 Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 I remember a pretty knowledgeable terrier bloke over here telling me about 3 dogs killing a postman in the UK, I think it was in the 80's. He reckoned they weren't APBT's or staffs but were small fighting dogs around 7kg's. Were these from the original bulldogs before they were sent to America to become the APBT? I don't know if any of you blokes know about this but it was an interesting story. Quote Link to post

I very much doubt it, I don't think anyone knows of any original pit dog strains that weren't affected by the show dog, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier? Edited May 24 by Pardus 2 Quote Link to post
