jigsaw 11,854 Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 I kept a lot over 22 years,all you need is one moment of forgetfulness,one slip up and it can be costly,...if you just keep a lone dog ,it'd be less tense I think lol 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When you read all about the apbt owners of the past, they all preferred the smaller type bulldogs 17-20in 40-55lb , they were easier to handle. But if you got a real game 20in 60lb bulldog,, not much would live them they said, but always hard getting them. Stratton, colby said this in there books. Our staffs we had in 60s.were more like pits today, ours were 16-19in 40-55lb, the lines were from old black country = w-ton, Walsall, these type I think were the ones that went over the America to start the apbt lines of the breed, I did read that they may have had hound in there as well, Reid lines were deff on the big side, my bitch I had was 20in 60lb brindle very powerful animal, good temp, but like been said, never relax with them, lurcher easier deff to live with lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bird are you aware of some sort of Staffordshire Bull Terrier museum up the black country somewhere.....a few folk have told me about it i just wondered whether its worth a quick visit next time im up that way. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
