WorkingBullandTerrier 132 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 @ 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/hunted their BT's to aquire one from, but had zero success. My male is showing great potential thus far, and time and maturity will tell. My husband's bitch is a mature female. She is spot on on anything you put her on, and when she catches for him, she hits the ear every time, and will not break hold until she is broken off. I hope that my male (in due time) and my husband's bitch will be the foundation of a new line of proven working BT stock. As far as out Patts, we use them on boar primarily, but they have also been used on Nutria, Coons, Fox and rats of course. I am usually too busy handling my dogs to take pics, but I know my husband has a few of his bitch catching a hog, and we have a few shots of some of our Patterdales on hogs as well that I can dig up. I'd like to have an extra person around to get some photography done, but it's not my priority. WBT, I was just wondering if you had any tail gait shots after the fact of your BT's that is all. I'm just so use to the States where enthusiastic people are talking about hunting/working there dogs and next thing you know there's a litter of pups on the ground ,I'm sure you know where I'm coming from.. Hogs are dangerous for a dog how many seasons will you work him till you know whats what? Will you free cast or will he be used as just a catch dog? I have not produced ONE litter since about 2010. And that was a bulldog bitch of mine that is up in age. My husband's BT bitch I speak of (the one that works for us, and works hard), was bred recently to one of his working Patterdales. None of those are leaving this yard, and if one did, it'd be to the gentleman/friend whom we get our Patts from. I don't think I have sold a dog in my life. If/when I do breed, it's to replace aging stock on the yard, not to peddle puppies.....so that being said, no worries in the 'pointless breeding' department. Everyone's standards are different for their working dog stock. I work my dogs every season as I see fit, so long as they are healthy and of age. Now you're asking about my male BT, the pup? He'll be used as a lead in catch dog, and on smaller game as well, depending on where I hunt and with whom. Here's a shot of the my husband's bitch starting up her son, her only offspring to this day. 1 Quote Link to post

jawn 449 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 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.onli...e&dog_id=356612 Thankfully we have offspring if his here to carry on his legacy. I bred his dam. Thanks for the memory 1 Quote Link to post
WorkingBullandTerrier 132 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Oh wow ok. I do believe the gentleman my husband got his dog from owned Carla at the time she passed away. I'd have loved to have seen her in person. This same gentleman is who I got my heavy six bits male from that I posted prior in this thread. Do you have any dogs left down from Carla? Quote Link to post

No I never owned any from Carla. Pretty sure the last I saw her was at Brumley's. I had her mom Oreo for a while. She was an honest bulldog like her daddy. Quote Link to post

I have an older bitch here that family bred on some older Eli blood....I want to back her to my male off Yogi before she passes. She's a tall, thick boned classic looking jet black bitch, honest bulldog for sure. That'll probably be my last bulldog breeding for a long while. Quote Link to post

old school 518 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 i post the beddy grey because i would maybe put the white dog over her. Shes mine and i just have a feeeling that would be a superb cross, maybe wrong though just noticed this post mate... i know its a diff cross but i bred a full staff bull to a whippet x grey and got trooper!! nice game bitch but too slow for most things... suppose it depends on what a person needs but heres a pic! 1 Quote Link to post
UphillDoc 278 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Nice bitch, was she on coyote? Yes...she is the little brindle dog with the red collar in the photos. Take care. Quote Link to post
neilsherlock 226 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 hello Old School, thanks for the photos. The bully is 22" and 55lb. A lump of an animal but proportionallly i think hes about right and compliments a runner. Hes prey drive is through the roof and he has a 5 mile time 1 minuite slower than the bikejoring european record. He does have plenty of wind but will add weight to the cross. He is not just bred on looks and is a very capable animal so im looking forward to seeing what this mating may produce. It would only be a mating for me and my brother. I rekon the positives out way the negatives. 9 Quote Link to post
WorkingBullandTerrier 132 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I love seeing these dogs in actual shape, and not looking like an lb log with legs. That's a very good looking dog there. Quote Link to post
