APBT blood in "old time" Staffordshire bull terriers

They were probably pretty much the same dog at one time. Through selective breeding there looks have changed. SBT has been selectively bred for looks for a long time while the APBT has been selectively bred for athletic performance for a long time. Over time selective breeding can really change the look of a dog. For example look at bull terriers and English bulldogs of today compared to 100 years ago and no other breeds have been added but looks are far different.

 

Dam1985 is you don't bullshit us. I looked myself same shit word for word. If you had any brains in that thick skull of yours you would of left the 1985 part out but then again your not the sharpest tool in the shed.

 

Well there you go, the APBT is doing the same job that the dogs of the British Isles were doing when dogs were matched. Now tell that to your boyfriend who believes the APBT is younger than the show bred Staff.....

 

Says the man that is a big believer of game bred Bull Terriers, righto......

 

When the British game dog was sent to America some of the American fighting dogs that they had over there before the British dogs got there went into the British line to create the American pitbull terrier what American breeds went into the mix I don't know

 

Where did the dogs that was in USA , come from ..? before the British dogs came over ?

 

I thougt from Spain, like the Alano(?), bc the spanish where before the english in Florida, Texas, California.

 

Catahoulas and "cur" type dogs were here I'm sure. Mountain curs and balckmouth curs. Where do you think the merle color, "tick mark" color, and one blue eye come from? Lots of APBT have black in their mouths as well. Different breeds were added everywhere they stopped I believe. What ever worked is what they used I'm sure

 

there is not one bit of evidence , or mention in any history books , magazines , news papers of other breeds being mixed in ,,,? other than dogs that came from the British isles,,,

 

Look at Stafford's before 1935 now look at American gamedogs today there has definitely something been added the genetics of the pitbull are 99% early English Irish dogs but there is definitely something else in the American dog today maybe some rugged hound they put in in the early days or maybe some farm bulldog you can see with your eyes there's a difference I'm not on about selective breeding for performance as to why the American dogs look like they have something added because if nothing was added they would still look like Joe mallens gentleman Jim or a bit before gentleman Jim

 

And I'm not talking about the show Stafford that's just a name made up for showing I mean English and Irish pit dog even then they looked like a Stafford

 

Because all dogmen tell the truth about ALL their breedings, right?????? I would bet a yrs pay with overtime other breeds have been added in. Ppl will use whatever works

 

Man growing up in the South,I've seen a many of dogmen with Hounds on one side of the yard and Bulldogs on the other side.Hmmmm! It ain't rocket science lol

 

bulldogs 1400/1600s from uk to all over the world spain/france including southern usa ,,1800s,,pitbull/stafforsdhires from uk to ne america southern blood and north eastern blood combine to create america strain the gamest dogs were in uk pre roman times probly from eygypt middle east thru the tin /gold trading done betwen uk an eygpt/phonicia thousands of years ago

 

Interesting (long) read of the "origin" of the APBT:

I thought (read) that the blackmouth was coming from Earl Tudor, that came from the Henry dogs.

 

I think you mean the dogs from the Alani tribes, they came from the Iran/Pakistan & North India region:

 

There is a myth that's been about awhile is Earl Tudor imported Staffordshire bull terriers right up into the 50s puting them in his line they say the Stafford had a stronger bite and earls dogs were known for a strong bite but I couldn't find any proof to this story. to import Stafford's right up into the 50s there must of still been some goodens left they say we're did all this black came from in the eli and other stuff could it be from earls secret ingredients getting dogs from the bulldog mother land

It is a very interesting story.I think its very possible, especially when we consider how many other Dog Men from USA used Staff blood in thier programs.

 

by the 1950 there was only show SBTs,,,why would someone from a country full of top fighting bloodlines import show dogs for fighting ?
