bullmastiff 615 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 That 'ridge' you see running down the centre of your dogs skull is a line of bone that the Jaw muscles attach to. So depending on the amount of muscle on the dogs head determines how much of the skull you can see. All dogs have that ridge, it's just more prominant in some breeds. Bull breeds have been breed for (amoung other things) bite power, therefore the muscles across the top of the head are overly large so hide the ridge in the skull and in some cases actually bulge past the ridge, giving as you said a heart shape to the back of the head. Hope this helps a bit. Quote Link to post

runforyourlife 361 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 EDITED because the question was to long for what i was asking to simple the question down DO BULL X HEADS SPLIT .sorry for other question.atb shaun some bulls and bull lurchers have an apple head which has more skull muscle and a line down the centre most well bred bulls dont have apple heads and are more terrier type to be agile rather than a bullish shaped dog with lots of heavy muscle,most of the bull headed lurchers are full of mastiff staffy and f**k knows what,nobody puts a 35lb fit dog at 19 inch or so they use 80lb lumps that look the part,a bull should be like middle wieght boxer not a body building freak It depends what quarry you are going to be using them for! Some bullx in exstream work need to be of body building size.... Quote Link to post

Is that in the same chapter about their locking jaws? Or you could have owned a few and got experience that way ........ Again, don't be silly, heads don't spilt, if you read the explanation above about muscle growth you might learn something. Or, are you actually trying to say that at a certain age, the dog's head somehow splits? If that's what you're saying then perhaps you could scan the page from where you've read that.

bull101 35 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 i think the split across the head is not exactly a split, but is down to muscles joining the jaws.......and more noticeable in bull breeds Quote Link to post
