Bloodlines

Angel

After reading a recent discussion about dino bull terriers I discovered I know nothing about bloodlines and how to know if my pup has a good bloodline or anything about breeding I know its a lot to ask but maybe steve can explain it to me ?

@Angel - Here's a link to an article I wrote a few years ago that will provide you with a lot of information in regard to finding a reputable Bull Terrier breeder -

The article wasn't bad thank you but lets say I buy a pup from you with co-ownership and my dame and the sire we co-own have a litter after you have informed me that it is okay to breed them will the litter then be considered mine or also co-owned ?

And also the other thing I was wondering about bloodlines story I know the English bull terrier comes from the English bull dog en also the old english terrier do you know if anyone has tried to recreate a English bull terrier by mixing these two (starting a new bloodline of english bull terrier)

A litter You produce becomes your own bloodline in which we would not have any right to. However, that is OUR policy within our co-ownership contract. This is not the same for every co-ownership contract. There are some greedy breeders who might dictate that one or more puppies goes to them. As the article I wrote depicts, it's very important that you read the co-ownership contract thoroughly.

The creation of a "Pure Bred" dog is not nor ever was conducted by breeding two different breeds of dogs. It takes MANY breedings, Many years, Many different breeders involved, genetic testings, etc etc etc. After many generations and a specific standard initiated the New Breed can be submitted to a National Registry with full records of the years of breeding and generations which were done professionally and in accordance with the regulations clearly defined within the canine registry.

The Bull Terrier did not derive from the 2 breeds you mentioned. It was a combination of several Bully breeds one of them being the White Terrier which is now extinct.

Breeding in the fashion you mention will only produce a crossbreed (mutt) regardless what 2 breeds of dogs you choose.

I don't think think there would many people who would like to redevelop the Bull Terrier of the past which was far more dog aggressive, more prone to deafness, more genetic disorders,and certainly doesn't have the same physical appearance that attracts people today.

There has never been such a thing as the "English Bull Terrier." It's always been known as the "Bull Terrier" and registered as such since day one. Yes, people here in America refer to them as "English Bull Terriers" but that's often to distract the chances of them being mistaken for a Pit Bull Terrier which carry a negative stigma.
