cammyerl1 28 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 "half the.lurcher.world.cant.be wrong" so.were.there.no.lurchers taking rabbits,hares,foxes n deer.before bull x's ? surley nobody wouldve kept them if that was the case? i think its a looks thing either people wanting to look good with a big strong dog or down to peoples taste i.e judging a book by its cover. to be fair its human nature we are always gonae try differant mixes but just dont see what bull x's have over a good lurcher from.what ive seen. but all the best to anybody out there with one cause all that matters is a man happy with his dog in the feild!

micckey 106 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 ive seen many lurchers in my time,,each lurcher being good at its said game, but its got to be said the apbt adds that slice of will power we all long to see in our dogs,,,even greyhounds have bull blood in them..so its a hard one to say bull blood is no good cos in my book its already in every lurcher..

robwelsh 354 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) yeah all running dogs had bull bred into them, but what you got to thing of, is if you type in american pitbull, on google you never see what the ACTUAL pitbull was like years ago when bred into running dogs, their all way to heavy these days, and american pitbulls didnt even come from america in the first place...i cant remember the name of the dog, but it was shipped from england over to america for dog fighting...and there onwards bred over there by the big yanks. id say only 25% of bull gh's these days, have the proper stock, light agile pitbulls bred into them...not these f****n tanks that everyone raves on about ...put an athletic pit in a "pit" with an average everyday , "internet" pit...and i know where il put my money...i agree that % of people have bull gh's for the wrong reasons, but its that 20% of owners who get put into the catagory when theres no need for them to be there, people who dont need a cock extension...my rambling is over lol edited this just incase someone says " shut up u fool its called an AMPT because it came from america..and just incase someone says,, their ment to be Massive with big heads ...lol this site can be a pain... Sometime during the nineteenth century, dog fanciers in England, Ireland and Scotland began to experiment with crosses between Bulldogs and Terriers, looking for a dog that combined the gameness of the terrier with the strength and athleticism of the Bulldog. The result was a dog that embodied all of the virtues attributed to great warriors: strength, indomitable courage, and gentleness with loved ones. Immigrants brought these bull and terrier crosses to the United States. The American Pit Bull Terrier’s many talents did not go unnoticed by farmers and ranchers who used their APBTs as catch dogs for semi-wild cattle and hogs, to hunt, to drive livestock, and as family companions. Today, the American Pit Bull Terrier continues to demonstrate its versatility, competing successfully in Obedience, Tracking, Agility and Weight Pulls, as well as Conformation. The United Kennel Club was the first registry to recognize the American Pit Bull Terrier. UKC founder C. Z. Bennett assigned UKC registration number 1 to his own APBT, Bennett’s Ring, in 1898. GENERAL APPEARANCE The American Pit Bull Terrier is a medium-sized, solidly built, short-coated dog with smooth, well-defined musculature. This breed is both powerful and athletic. The body is just slightly longer than tall, but bitches may be somewhat longer in body than dogs. The length of the front leg (measured from point of elbow to the ground) is approximately equal to one-half of the dog’s height at the withers. The head is of medium length, with a broad, flat skull, and a wide, deep muzzle. Ears are small to medium in size, high set, and may be natural or cropped. The relatively short tail is set low, thick at the base and tapers to a point. The American Pit Bull Terrier comes in all colors and color patterns except merle. This breed combines strength and athleticism with grace and agility and should never appear bulky or muscle-bound or fine-boned and rangy. Above all else, the APBT must have the functional capability to be a catch dog that can hold, wrestle (push and pull) and breathe easily while doing its job. Balance and harmony of all parts are critical components of breed type. Very Serious Fault: Any disproportionate overdone characteristic (such as short legs, excessive bone or massive head or body) that would interfere with working ability.
