    If they were still bred for the same work they would. You probably wouldn’t confuse in am staff with an apbt either. Might get fooled every now and again tho

    Even back then people didn’t know what game was. The fella wrote the article and described his living dog as dead game lol

    The caption under the first picture says it’s from 1898. Pictures 2 and 3 are of a sbt in 1935 according to the caption under it. Pictures 5-8 are from 1938-39 according to caption. Now compare the old working type in the above photos to what Michelle posted and dogs of today.

    It would help if I could post pics myself, but you can see the difference. The old dogs look the same as apbt when bred for something other than dogs shows. I’m sure the badger dogs didn’t look quite like the pit dogs either

  11. Sorry I only seen the first one when I first looked lol .just looked at the rest.you can see from that short period how muched they changed.the first one looks well the best!..I think its possible after the time of the first one(probley cause a riot saying this lol)that some thing else was added to the mix.for a number of reasons,to make them more suitable for showing,to make them more suitable as a pet,and to just swell the numbers up for registry.........p.s. Great pic of gentleman Jim,I've never seen that one before.....
