    Thank ya sir. Hopefully he produces well for me. My husband had this one (RIP) who would go find and catch his own hogs. He was everything in a bulldog you could ever ask for. Here's his ped: http://www.apbt.online-pedigrees.com/modules.php?name=Public&file=printPedigree&dog_id=356612 Thankfully we have offspring if his here to carry on his legacy.

    Ask and you shall recieve He's my conformational nightmare, but he's bred out the arse to be a bulldog, not a princess. As you can see, 'looks' alone aren't an issue here, unless they hinder performance.

    LOL. I am a bull and terrier enthusiast. Here's a male that I have (this is NOT his specific ped, but a sibling of his that does not belong to me. I don't have a Peds account.) http://www.apbt.online-pedigrees.com/modules.php?name=Public&file=printPedigree&dog_id=220469

    @ Bigfoot.....got it....in between appointments, and when I have a good few minutes to sit down I will write you back @ Stuntman: My husband's bitch was bred in Louisiana. My male cam from Iowa. His parents were bred and purchased from California. He has a couple of imported dogs in his first four generations. I was given my male as a gift from some dear far away friends of mine. I've never had to pay for a dog. All my Patterdales are from a good friend that had been working and breeding his terriers for a long long time. I had been seeking a kennel in the states that actually worked/hunt

    I definately see your point. The main thing with the (literally) curved downward nose is that when they go into hold on something (main game here being wild boar), their nostrils get blocked right away, constricting their breathing greatly, whereas a dog with a straighter muzzle usually still has their nostrils/airways clear so that they can breathe through their nose some....this shape of the profile even affects the way he drinks water. Believe me, I am/was an APBT woman first and foremost. I know very well that a dog does NOT have to be conformationally correct do do it's job/hunt. I've

    Without wishing to offend..........why would somebody called " working bull and terrier " be so bothered about " a straighter profile " and importing one " that looks like those " and be calling dogs amazing specimens based on a photograph If they are an improvement on the obese caricatures that everyone is sick of seeing then great.........but the last thing they need is another bunch of people breeding for another type of look..............exactly the same thing happened with the Stafford,people supposedly reviving the breed got so obssessed about how long a dogs legs were they bred useles

    Thank you both for the advice, I greatly appreciate it. I am purchasing him from my local pet supplier. He is first and foremost going to be a house pet. He will be allowed to be out and roam and play when we can closely supervise him, and when we are away and overnight he will be in his cage, in the family room. I also planned on taking him outside to play as well supervised. He is young, I believe around 16wks old. He is already neutered. Hunting with him would be something to do for fun, if he took to it. I like giving animals the chance to do things they'd do naturally. I have owned a

    Hello all. I currently hunt with bull and terriers, and my husband has a whippet/lurcher. We are aquiring a ferret this month, and I was just curious, for those of you who use ferrets in hunting.....can 'any' ferret take up hunting, or does it take one off of a line of working ferrets to do so? My next question would be, what's a good way to start them out? Thank you in advance.

    Here is my husband's Mini BT bitch that I hope to put under him in the future. She's wet from a bath in this photo, and she was also bred (to his best Patterdale), so she is out of shape. Here is her only offspring, her son. He's turning out nicely. He's 3/4 Mini 1/4 Standard.
  10. WorkingBullandTerrier
    WOW. Now those are some FINE Bull Terriers! That's EXACTLY what I am striving for. My male is built very similar, but I want to get a straighter profile. I would LOOOOOOVE to get a bitch imported here that looks like those above. Such amazing specimens......
  11. WorkingBullandTerrier
    Thank you. So far so good!

    Beautiful dogs on this thread. I just love my Patts, but I am very much looking forward to trying out a Jagd in the near future as well. Very admirable dogs.

    James Hinks was the person who developed the breed in it's original state. The American Pit Bull Terrier is legal where I live, although there is Breed Specific Legislation spread over the states. I do own a few APBT's, along with an American Bulldog, and Patterdale Terriers. Husband just added a Whippet lurcher to the yard as well. It all depends on what you use the dogs for. The personality of the Bull Terrier has always attracted me to the breed. Their clownish personality. Yet, they can switch from goofy to super intense in seconds. Hard to explain, but I have always admired the breed.
  14. WorkingBullandTerrier
    Great to see someone else who hunts nutria! The Patts LOVE them, haha. We have an overpopulation here of them.

    Nice work! Great photos

    Anyone else hunt with them here? It's depressing, the current state of the breed here in the states. Mainly overweight house dogs now. My husband and I both own BT's, and ours all work. We use them on wild hogs, nutria, coons and any vermin we come upon. They certainly not the over done blobs you primarily see here in the breed's modern state. Here's a photo of my BT. He is 11mths old currently. At the time of the photograph, he was 10mths old. Once he is older, and well worked, he will be bred to my husband's proven working bitch. I am hoping to try and recreate the head structu

    We use Cedar shavings here, works very well. Also repels insect if need be.

    There is a sebaceous gland right about that point on the tail, not too far down from the base, that can cause that as well. My Bull Terrier has this issue. I actually shaved over the spot where the hair was lacking and it started to grow back a bit.
  20. WorkingBullandTerrier
    Rescues won't let them go unless they're neutered. I've heard folks in my neigboring state speak highly of the Stags....maybe I should do more research on them....

    I do alot of hand walking with mine....they look great

    Hello all. I am new to this forum and didn't realize there was an actual Greyhound section here! I am seeking a Greyhound (wouldn't mind a retired racer) and I am having a very hard time finding any. I am located in the southeast US. Does anyone have any tips on how I may find one? I would like for the dog to be intact, as I would eventually like to create my own Lurcher type dog for my hunting stock. Thank you in advance.
  23. WorkingBullandTerrier
    Thank you everyone! I appreciate all the tips! I'm going to check into them all today....
  24. WorkingBullandTerrier
    Thank you Vixen! His head looks a lil out of proportion, but it's just the angle of the shot, haha. He is in great condition though!
