Thanks for sharing, love to see these old pics very nostalgic

 

White dog in the 3rd pic is a handsome type indeed

I wonder if this breed would have been more widely accepted if it had been called the Irish bull terrier

I think a lack of success at the trials was worked most against it being used more. The red hand dog was successful and used a lot on the back of that.

Anyone still working this cross?

Maybe not breeds, but it must have added something to strains for guys to have persisted with those lines and strains that had that blood? Rather than going back to "pure" terrier?

You'll have to ask some hard questions the next time you're down on the river.

 

Myself and A were talking with a guy who offered his pay cheque for a 1/4 EBT cross bitch, way back when. Asked if she was the best bitch he'd seen? No, he said she had some knacks about her , but he knew she'd produce.

He never bought her, but she produced a lot of bitches (and dogs) that again produced.

 

I've never heard any of the guys that put it in say they put it in for gameness. They wanted sounders.

I understand that but the trials were only a game played in one country and the bull terrier has spanned the globe as a working dog and I've got a feeling the Irishmen that were at the trials would have been more willing to work with the breed if it was a Irish creation and not a English one

2 Countries maybe? Some people say Northern Ireland is a part of the UK you know. Some of those guys were heavily involved in the games as you call it. Unless you see Ireland as a 32 county state, which I'd applaud?

 

They hardly thought the Staffordshire Bull terrier was somehow more Irish.
