he has recorded pedigrees , his dogs came from Armitage , Clark and Colby bloodline , they early dogs he got from them had similar look , if his dogs ware brindle you 'd not even suggest it , no one of his pedigrees show any mention of bull terrier ,

Yep, it doesn't necessarily mean he used bull terrier but maybe the line he ran was more closely related to the dogs used in  bull terriers? As you know, different lines looked different, just a thought.

The best thing that happened in the ebt world for many years was the mutated bent head, from a dog named Gladiator I think. A great inbreeding programme began to fix that trait. That tells you a lot about the engineers of the breed and there hopes and dreams for it. Raymond oppenhiemer was a great influence on the breed in his time and imo a great breeder, but his focus was on showing.

His dogs dogs trace back to Colby , Armitage and Clark bloodline back to the 1930s

I know mate, but rumours are rumours pal. Some of his dogs sure had the Bull Terrier look, but as you know, others have. That's understandable really given that they share common ancestors at some point.

But these rumors are just made up by people who have Bull terriers or can see how a dog is bred by looking at it . his dogs just did not appear , they are recorded from time he had them , he was a dog fighter and would have had no use for breeding a show dog in to his bloodline , when he had access to winning APBT , below is pedigree of MUTT , a dog most people claim "you can see the bull terrier in him"   a dog with about 50 years of his breedings  with no Bull terrier blood at all

I dont think a paper pedigree is a good argument for purity unless you did it all yourself. I think the best argument is just common sense really. Why the hell would a serious competitor outcross to a Ebt even if it was game and had wind, which is very very doubtful. Even the pit dogs of the origional crosses by hinks didnt need to be anything more just a bullterrier, because he was producing something other than a pit dog. A product to sell as pets. He was a dog peddler ( not meant as an insult) and a shop keeper breeding to sell to the dog fancying public.

This post was made 5 years ago so hope original poster found what he was looking for. But I don’t see why people are looking for this “game” English bull terrier especially when you could go down the APBT route which is clearly the ultimate game dog.

Im not referring to " bull terriers " as i dont really understand why they even come into discussions about fighting dogs but regarding purity and a paper pedigree.....some of those old timers years ago would be able to tell just from the naked eye if a dog was a pure family dog these men went to extraordinary lengths at times to maintain clean bloodlines they would regard breeding to another family within the breed as a complete outcross....to a different breed completely would just be unimaginable......the reason some of todays dogs can be traced back dog for dog over so long is because of those " paper pedigrees "

I'll take your word for that, I suppose I was thinking of KC pedigrees and general peddlers.

I always fancied one mostly because I liked the look of the pig headed brutes. So a pup came up from a lad who works his and I thought I’d take the chance and see how it goes. So far he’s a year old and the stupidest fecker I’ve ever had in the yard. In the pic below he has a rat from a cage trap and when I finally got it out I realised all he wanted to do was toss the trap around lol…

A buddy had a bull terrier. An ordinary dog from exhibition parents. At the age of about 12 months, he checked him on a badger a couple of times at the training station, although such dogs are usually not allowed there. The dog immediately grabbed the badger with a death grip. However, the first time the badger almost disassembled the bull for spare parts. The vet counted 37 holes in the neck. It's only on the neck. He tore bull's chin and lip in two places and chipped off a piece of tooth. The test was 5 minutes, the bull was removed with a stack and after 10 seconds they let it go a second time for 1 minute, and he did not hesitate for a second, made a good grip from above. The dog lost a lot of blood, and on the way back the whole car was flooded with it. At the vet clinic, the veterinarians were shocked, they thought that a shotgun had been fired at him. But the second time he got off with only 5 holes in his muzzle and ran with drainage on his stomach. At the same time, he was not aggressive towards dogs and did not even respond to the aggression of other dogs.

Back in the 90s, dogfighting was popular and even legal for a while. Moreover, they were dragged by different breeds. An eyewitness (who understands pit bulls) told that he saw a bull terrier at that time, who even became a champion (had 3 victories against medium-level pit bulls). The dog was well-trained physically and gamely, but it had a very primitive fighting technique. And in a fight against a good pit bull, he was a victim from the first minutes of the fight. He spent the whole fight on his back, never biting the pit bull, and by 20 minutes he was already all pink, and on the 30th they decided to take him off, but he flew out like a bullet on scratch.

Yeah, not all pitbulls can fight and I've seen an English staff almost kill one nearly twice his size because it showed aggression to the staff's owners.
