When bull was added over here(back in the day)it was staff,but back then some lines were as game as the APB,and pits were non existent or very scarce to say the least.A lot of black dogs have bull in them some way back, some not so way back.The best kind in my opinion was breed them down to one eight,and if they made the grade, breed one eight to one eight,I seen some very gamey little dogs from this method.A lot of the half crosses I seen were mute and style of work gave them a short life span,even a lot of the quarters were mute.I personally never seen a good cross to the white bulls as most of them were useless anyway IMO.The bulls made a much bigger contribution to the working terrier than a lot of people care to admit.

britain at one time had many types of pitdog /bull terrier , even in west midlands there wasn't any one type until 1935 with kc reg, and weather the likes of Breay and Buck added some will always be debated , but what is for sure was the Nuttall terriers do carry lines back to small pit dogs from Lancaster, these were not staffs but a local type, Brian will tell you the bitches he took to Kipper and later Rusty carried lines back to these small pits

I've always believed the story's i was told, wherever the cuts were, dug terriers were there!

It stands up, I've seen many photos of the navvies with bull like terriers and kerry & felly types. Then the barge travelers followed, look at the old canal maps and where they went and where they past through...

We kept a lot of game staffs back then,and a lot of men came to us very hush hush to use them dogs on terriers and Wheatons.

I've heard Brian say they did and that they didn't... Dependent on the time (80's, 90's etc) and audience...

i have a bitch with 1/8 bull and i think is a good contribution to her and many other terrier as it bumps the size a bit, I like it both ways with or without but it's got to be the right amount in my eyes
