@ConiferTreez I agree, the old game dogs are better in every way, my personal problem is > i can't bond with a dog, train him, see how he plays with my kids and is loyal to me, guards my home from undesireables then intentionally fight him and see him hurt, even though i know he'd be up for it bigtime, i know his nature because i work with him daily, i know this dog would have to be stopped and it would take a good dog to stop him, but i'll never fight him.
@APBTisBeast LOL i've a feeling you and me have the same thought about this breed? very misunderstood by people who really don't know the history or who have never owned one, the dogs unfortunate history is actually what makes them so good, they don't react with nervousness, they are hardy and can take rough play all day with kids and never lose patients, their loyal to the bitter end, no other breed ticks all the boxes like them.
@daddyrollingstone I have to agree with you when it comes to abusing pitbulls, but in my opinion it's not the game dog breeders who have fucked the breed up, it's the ones breeding 70 - 130 pound animals which obviously have had mastiffs crossed in and out of the linage, these things are NOT pitbulls but they are mauling people & the real pitbull is getting the blame, you don't see the old type pitbulls in news reports, it's always the BIG mutts
@lucianomende It's obvious to anyone who keeps bullterriers this mans kennels and whole reputation was built around producing top fighting dogs, I've also kept the breed for 30 years and i know people who show them, people who fight them and many who just keep them as pets (like me) The mistake people make is thinking everyone keeps them to prove somthing, i keep them because through experience ive found no other breed like them, fighters use them to make money, not to impress
@ConiferTreez Some of the greatest fighting dogs you mean? because the best dogs i had up until the current one in my profile pic were 2 perticular dogs i bought to save them being fought anymore, they were great pets but terrible with other dogs, i had to be extra careful with them when around other dogs, but my kids could wrestle with them, sit on them, the dogs would play ball games & tug-o-war all day with the kids and never once got nasty, thats what i love about this breed.
@JvVar2120 You're right, punishing a bullterrier for fighting is like punishing a Lab or springer for hunting & sniffing, although with the bullterriers it's wise to socialise them a lot when their young so they will only fight when they have no choice, even the quietest one will stand his ground if attacked by another dog, but there's no pleasure owning a bullterrier that wants to kill every dog he sees even if he is people friendly, with a dog like that you're always walking alone.
@2tostado I can't help pointing out a major mistake you made, if you used a rod on your dogs on return from a trip, for a fight they had while on the trip, that was a totally pointless exercise, the dogs had no idea why you whipped them, when training a dog you must discourage or encourage the behaviour right at the time it happens, they learn through repetition and positive or negative encouragement, you can't slap them later and expect them to know why like a naughty child.
this is not breeders,this is motherfacking fighters,i hate them.
