English Bull Terriers

[Aussie Whip 4,091]

Still more popular over here as crosses for hunting than pits.I think they are more terrier like and not as crazy.I know of one bloke who uses pures on pigs,they are big 35 to 45kg dogs he has bred for years for the job.

Anyone know if Lyndon is still breeding them? He had some good blood years ago, I nearly talked myself into getting one but my ex was having none of it

being honest mush , you far better of with a bulldog = apbt , if you wanted a proper type working  dog, nice 45lb pit bitch from good lines  make great working dog. you must have fair few pits over where you are, think they use few with hounds on your wild pigs out there . you ever see many presa's   over where  you are, there supposed to be  in guard dog out there, there took over from gsd and rotties .?

Illegal now... had a lot of mishaps, so they made all mastiff and bull headed dogs illegal to free roam/hunt.

I've access to very good blood here ( bull and mastiff wise) but I have a soft spot for staffs and English bulls

My ex had a miniature... she would tear your leg off and did so, to protect her from her ex. Had to watch yourself around that dog! She'd take on any comers, human or animal. Didn't make her horrible, just difficult to take out

A good Presa will make a Pit look like a poodle Ray.... Mate crossed them with rotties then back to a neo mastiff for the boar, saw a dog take 5 big uns in one night, kill stuff from a hole quicker than any bull x.

Is that a bit like the gsd though bird? A breed of dog gets popular, then because they're getting popular, they get bred to high heaven with scant regard for temperament etc, just to line their owners pockets.

Not sticking ip for EBT's here mind

They got real character that's for sureI think they tend to bond with the one person.... You won't get a loyaler dog imo... I had one as a young teenager, I tried walking in to the local spar shop once, a load of older arse holes were outside, buzzing on temazipan and cheap cider, I asked the one lad to move, he told me to f**k off and tried swinging at methe dog grabbed him by the ankle and shook him like a rag dollnot a lot left of his airmax or trackie bottoms... his mates scattered like rats lol, he was crying for me to get the dog off him.... I told him ask her nicely no cnut would come near me when I had her with me, I was gutted when my cousin took her down the river one day, after running them with his bulls on a hot day, threw a stick in and she went in and drownedfunny thing is I've not spoke to the prick in 26 yrs, it's still raw with me... My mates got some crackers but my Mrs won't have one in the house while we still got kids there.... I will have another one day

Not being stupid here d c, but you know what, I've never seen a staff or ebt that's good in water, never mind swimming. 

I think it's because they're so densley muscled

A few staffs i had down through the years, not one ever took to water 

And I had them on the beach nearly every day.
