What's Your Opinion On This Statement

The breeds Blue Paul and Red Smut are extinct breeds from Scotland. While it is true both came from Scotland they were not breeds. These were actual dogs. Both were pit bulls (not called pit bulls then) and research will show both dogs in the pedigree of modern day pit bulls. There were bloodlines from these dogs much like the Colby, Hemphill bloodlines. Instead of being named after the people who developed the bloodlines they were named from the most famous dogs of the bloodline. At that time it wasn't unusual. Blue Pauls were usually a blue or blue brindle color and the Red Smuts were usually red dogs.

 

... so with said, does that make them strains of the breed.? I wouldnt mind having a look of those peds where they come up in?

 

Blue paul has also been noted as part of the original make up of the plot hound or plot cur
