WHY DO

[BOG SIDE 82]

YOU BREED STAFF INTO YOUR TERRIERS IS IT CAUSE YOU WANT TO UP THE SIZE OF THE TERRIER,,,FOR THE HEAD AND JAW OR ADD SOME GAME INTO THE BREED

[bigfatskinheadterrierman 10]

bit of both i suppose , lot of bull through both black and russell breeding

[noot noot 14]

bull strengthens the head and jaw and makes them more guttsy , but all said and done proper bred terriers shouldnt need bull blood introduced into their make up

I personally don't see the addition of bull blood as a plus point. I see it as diluting working ability by 50%. Which is a backward step.

 

JMHO.

I agree ! Bull terriers have not been bred for their intended purpose for over a hundred years yet all of a sudden, it's just what working terriers need !

The WORKING terriers i grew up around where spanable JR's and they were only put to other working JR's , they were small and nasty but did the job on fox. And as it was pre coller the Bayed and did not need to hold. Also the fox's pelt was of value in those days !

Like or not bull blood has been put into terrier lines for a very long while!

[tillearthdouspart 100]

Yeah it has but was there really any need probably not the bull breeds were bred for bull baiting and dog fighting how can that benefit an earth dog , we all no their some good bull breeds but say they used aby breed I think their would be still some good one it's inevitable but was there need ..... I think not but that's my opinion we all differ
