apbt/platterdale terrier cross

All! Unless you think that 3-4 % Terrierblood is important for anything. I answered this question in my last post.

 

My posts were never directed at you Mouser. I agree 100% with what you said in the end of your post that I quote above. These were not my terriers and they were hunting ground hogs and other ground game. They hunted in small teams. I don't own or use these terriers but I find most anything working to be of my interest. I've only gone on several hunts as a spectator and sometimes involuntary shovel user! A few of the dogs got so down that they couldn't get back out with whatever they got ahold of.

Just curious Realonebulldog, what part of the world are you from?? Your speech tells me, that your not from around here, LOL! Remember, I'm not trying to better the pit, just shrink him down, and maintain him that way. Mouser

 

B, I wasn't directing that to you either, your Irish and we all know we love to fight, LOL! I agree with Realonebulldog in this one thing bulldog blood makes most any dog better, except an earthworking dog in the states, LOL, their too big to go to ground. I'd be interested in how many dogs in the world can trace some of their lineage back to bulldogs? I can think of many that can, Mt. Curs, Pointers, Greyhounds, Austrailain cattle dogs, EBT's, just to name a few, and I'm sure the list is very long. Mouser

 

I think I may have seen a pit bull boxer cross. It was a long time ago, so I'm not sure. The one I saw just looked like a tall, thin pit bull with a shortish nose. It wasn't quite boxer short, but it wasn't a pit nose either. It was a pretty nice looking dog, but I wouldn't recommend breeding them. There are too many mixes already to be making more.

This is supposed to be a boxer/pit. I think he looks a bit houndy though.

 

and when it bites someone it will be put on a pitbull,,,,WDog post stuff like this to create chaos, and it's actually silly,,, if he doesn,t want a pitbull he needs to raise labs or shepards or something,,,other than a half breed mutt,, go to the pound and you can get someone else platter-pit mutt,,,WDOG

 

look i dont want nothing but a true apbt i just said i bet dog men do it and i was right dont hate the player hate the game

 

And just why are you assuming that it would bite someone???? Just because it's got some pit in it???? What ever, Mouser

 

Mouser-I think he is just thinking about down the road. It seems you have a clear goal and a mind sound enough to put forth good breeding practices and produce great dogs. While I dont agree with it, its your business when its all said and done.

Maybe you become extremely successful and these dogs catch the eye of the fad breeders. Next thing you know, these dogs are selling like hot-cakes...and every dick and jane with 200 bucks can buy a poorely bred pitbull/patterdale (as is the case with so many other "fad" mutts right now, such as the labradoodle, cockerdoodle, etc).

When these poor examples start being bred and placed in non-working homes with people that just want a "cute little pitbull" and one has a tempermant problem due to breeding practices (i.e. lack of culling and good brood stock), its upbringing, or other behavioral problems stemming from a irresponsible owner...what then. The dog bites, and we all know the paper probably wont even mention a little known breed as the Patterdale, the headlines will read "Killer pocket-pits out for blood!!!".

ETA- I know the patterdale breeders would just assume keep a good thing going and keep it from the general publics eye to ruin it. A good APBT will want to keep their dogs out of the hands of the general public also. What that leaves is poor examples of the breed, that will be shunned by both of its ancestors breeds. If you do it and it works, keep that stock in your own yard and dont tell no one. If no one knows, no one can exploit it!

 

most of the time it's some half breed backyard dog that ends up biting someone and just because it looks simular to a pitbull ,,it ends up blamed on the breed ,,,,so whatever somewhere else,,,i wasn't really relaying toward you mouser,,, last time he wanted to breed a pitbull to a akita,,, and ended up this long silly thread ,,, just curious mouser how long you had pitbulls?

 

look man i did not wanna breed them just heard an d seen them breed so dont put words in my mouth i just said it could work i have a open mind you should too

 

Ghost 1, Eleven yrs. and counting, I had a stint when I didn't own any because of home owners insurance. Rock, I understand fully the plight of the pitbull, and mutts that resemble them, that bite. When looking for my current pitbull, I witnessed several dogs with long hair, weird body shapes, and various things that let me know they were mixed. All of the above said dogs were registered. I do not plan on calling my dogs pitbulls, and I don't plan on telling what they are mixed with, I don't believe I ever said I would use patterdales either, there are alot of terriers available for my needs. Like you said it's really my own business what I do with my own dogs. I'll ask you a question, where did you get your dogs??? Some one bred them, and either gave them too you, or sold them too you, right??? I don't understand how people think they are the only one's worthy to own these animals. I fully realize that not everyone is capable of being a good owner of any kind of dog, let alone a pitbull, and that is where being judical when placing your pups comes in. Reading off the internet, I hope I don't come across as being a know it all, because I'm far from it, but I do have a plan, and will carry it out. Thanks, Mouser

 

Again....you said it: They are to big to go to ground. And exactly that is one of the reasons for the Bulldog Terrier crosses in the old days...the Terrier likes to go to ground but he is not able to kill a adult Badger one on one. And the Bulldog is able to kill the Badger one on one but he is not able to go to the ground. I read often in old Books that the Bulldog was special used to kill the Badger but I never really understood that because I thougt its J U S T a badger...until the day my dog met one.

 

If you see a Bulldog and a Patterdale working, you think the Bulldog works in slomo.

Wow that's an impressive little dog!

 

Pit-boxer crosses pop up around here from time to time so I've seen them. I love apbt and would rather not have mine mixed with anything. Have had a half apbt dog before that I loved but still don't like seeing apbt watered down with other breeds.

 

anybody got any video of a bulldog on a badger or wolverine?

 

I have no video, but a can tell you about my experiences with european badgers.
When my Terriers find a bagder above in the field (not below in a set), they are always trying to get a grip in the neck to strangle the badger. My Terriers often kill a badger without bad injuries on themself.
My Bulldogs always hold the first grip on the quarry, and the badger is still able to fight back with his claws and his jaw. So they were much damaged after it.
Maybe there are other Bulldogs who are smarter. I can only talk about my dogs.
