English Bull's

[Gitano 17]

Cheers for the information pongopalmer. Is your mate intentionally breeding them like this or was your boy just accidentally lighter boned and more athletic than the modern day EBT? Either way, I like the look of the dog and would be interested in getting something similar myself.

Im a fan of the EBT although i dont own one.

i personaly like the old Hinks type, its

more athletic than the kc type and bred for ability

rather than strange looks lol.

i searched the net for info on Hinks type

and found some good pics and they look alot

differant to the kc

even thought they are fundamentaly the same thing.

I had English bulls 20 years ago.Didnt do much with them. The next door neighbour was littered with rats. I asked could I let the bitch in to see what she would do. She was about 2. She went from being a pet to a different dog.You would think she was ratting since she was a pup. Never tried her on anything else. She was KC aswell. Back then to me there was the really heavy built English Bulls.I called these Gabour type.The spelling might be wrong. The longer leaner, leggier type with the straighter nose we called the Dalmation type as it lent towards the dalmation in them. I had a bridle and white fella. He had a crufts winner on his KC papers. He was very thick, but in a way that he could take alot of stick. He had very high drive in him. He would take on an elephant, very game. Good luck with your bulls

nice dogs but easier to find a better bred staff in my opinion.

heres mine mate

Im thinking of getting an english bull terrier in the future, would like to know wat sort of work do you have yours doing?? do you recommend this breed for hunting?? does it matter if you work a long legged english bull to a short legged?? also if possible could you put some pics up. Thanks

nice bull mate how long did it take you to get that rabbit off your dog?

When I was a kid i had a bull terrier, no, our house had a bull terrier, as he was the family dog. I worked him no different than my terriers and luchers, if i was out, he was out.

He had as good a nose as ANY dog i've seen, marked and drew foxes, even dug him out a few times! Hard as fecking nails, he took some stick .. Superb marker of rats and would dig like a fiend to get 'em.

Pheasant wild, he'd hunt 'em up and nail 'em on the seat or take off. Basically he hunted everything I did and had, for his type, great success!

Would I buy one 'as a working dog'... Not a fecking chance!!! His faults were many, and i'd rather remember him for the good times, i loved that dog!

Why pay that money on 'a gamble', they are NOT working dogs, from whatever line! If you have one as a pet, and you fancy having a dabble with it in the field, great stuff, it's loads of fun BUT if you want sommat serious, go for an already made 'working' bull type, or better still, a good line of working terrier!

Good stuff mate, yours looks as mine did as a youngster, same type. It's quite funny, but if you have a dog that is so keen, you will realise what the possibilitys of a dog are, rather than a gun!

Best of luck with him, good to know, though i wouldn't be too 'general' on this site, about what you hope to do with him in the future and i still stand by what i said about 'buying' one as a worker...
