Fitter Type English Bull Terrier

[neilsherlock 226]

I also see no problem with owning a dog from working lines as a pet/running companion. Paras running is obviously hard-core and I doubt most working animals would be conditioned in this way, good luck in your search. A better companion you couldn't get mate

What about a husky? Apparently they can run up to a 100 miles a day! Probably better suited than a "fitter type bull terrier"

It's like I've never been away .......

 

 

Why would a working EBT be any good for jogging with?

Come across many badgers that need pulling out of holes on your run do you?

 

I love THL

if you had a staff before and did well with it why not go get another one? go to the dog pound and rescue one there millions of them needing a home.....

[Lab 10,979]

Of course it completely your choice but your picking breeds that's let's face it are hardly built for long distance runs.

Can I ask, what did you have to get your last dog pts? You said it was far too young.

I don't suppose anyone needs to disclose where, but I know they are there, seen it and believe it, crAcking dogs with more heart than most could deal with. It's also credit to the breeder that not everyone knows about them or owns them. Stunning animals bred with good ethics.

I think you living in a fantasy, if you believe there is any working straing of (English) Bull terriers.... name a known dog from any working line... Uk and Ireland is a small place for people in the know... there has never being a working strain...

Look at any of the cork strain of terriers the ebt stands out a mile. Where do u think they go for the service if theres no working ebt.

they used a Bull terrier... there is no working strain... if you say Staffordshire Bull Terrier I can name a 1/2 dozen that are out there ..you will not find one line of working Bull terriers ever...any Bull terriers worked in the past at badger trials or in the field ware individual from show kc lines....

But even if there WAS a working strain, how would a type of dog that excelled at pulling things backwards over short distance then resting, be any use at all as a jogging companion?!

 

My point I suppose is that the working ability does not mean a dog is suitable for jogging with, in fact probably the opposite, the sort of strength in short bursts required to be good at their job would be a nightmare to try and match if jogging.

 

Think powerlifter running a marathon for extreme comparison.

 

Ideally it would be a dog that could expend energy over a period of a longer time, an hour or more, and we know what does that well.

 

All the above is not taking into account the cantankerous nature of some working type dogs, if anyone wants to take mine out for a jog, he'll deffo keep up for 2 hours, but he'll get you into trouble and lots of it on the way!

I think they used whatever dog was doing well in the area where they lived.

 

And if it was bred to send over here then they used any old shoite lol.

[neilsherlock 226]

Lol no argument from me, u know the answers already

The man wants a Bullterrier he's a grown man it's up to him he don't need people telling him what would suit him better and there's no reason a Bullterrier can't keep up with a man jogging for a few hours

fair point that, a beagle hound is great little dog great pet, and tons of stamina run all day long, seen few by me over years would be bang on for jogging and mooching about

I haven't offered any alternatives, of course it's up to him what he wants/gets.

 

My point is simply, if the unicorn existed in any quantity, being good at it's intended job wouldn't make it any more suitable for running with, simple as that.
