Bull Terrier Saddleback Marks

BulliesofNCBulliesofNC Richlands, NC
I seen this photo today on Facebook and couldn't help cringing knowing there's so many people who could care less about the breed standards and decide to breed their dog regardless if it's not providing any benefits to the future of the breed.

    What troubles me is that I am sure these poor children still maintain the basic character traits of EBTs and are still hard to raise and keep... It's hard enough to find devoted owners that will go through the whole tough rigmarole in order to be part of the purebred family.... Now these dogs are just like any other mix bred dog, loveable for sure, but who is going to go through the whole adolescence experience ? Without giving up on them or letting them become unruly?
    In the beginning God created English Bull Terriers, in the image of EBT's, God created all other breeds.
  • Here's a litter not far from me with lots of mismarked pups. These are being sold with full akc reg. They look like little cows..

    Yes, that's exactly the type of breeding that brings down the reputation of the Bull Terrier breed. White Bull Terrier are not "supposed" to have any other colors except on the face and ears. Saddleback marks and other markings are a fault within the bloodlines. On the first photo above that I posted you can clearly see that the bitch of the litter has excessive pigmentation, saddleback mark, and side markings. The straight and narrow muzzle and heavy overbite are just added flaws within her genes. Breeding her was a mistake and diffinitely not a litter that follows the breed standards or compliments the breed.

    The other litter that "bad" posted is the same way. Not a good thing. It makes me wonder if they ever read this line in the AKC breed standards for white Bull Terriers:

    Color Is white though markings on the head are permissible. Any markings elsewhere on the coat are to be severely faulted. Skin pigmentation is not to be penalized.

    Pretty soon we'll be seeing bull Terriers like the one below as the "common" in our country.

    Please don't get me wrong, I'm not critizing anybody's cherished pet but I still feel it neccessary to stick to the standards and strive to develop each breed of canine so it measures up to standards in every facet. If this can't be done then the aspect of adding a litter of 6 or more genetically faulted puppies to public only hurts the breed and the value they still retain as a rare breed with exceptional pedigree and quality.

    Shame, he's pretty freaky looking, surely he is a mix? We'll have to find a way of diluting the gene pool of these "breeders" and see how they like it when their own kids turn out a little strange.

    No, that's actually a "Pure Bred" Bull Terrier. Many that we receive in for rescue and adoption look similar. I'm starting to call them the "American Bull Terrier." It shouldn't be that way here but until we start putting harsh regulations on breeders we'll continue to lessen the qualities in many breeds.

    Many will say we've ruined the German Shepard's, Rottweilers, and English Bull Dogs here in America and I'd hate to think we'll eventually do the same with the Bull Terrier but with so many photos I see on Facebook now a days I'm beginning to wonder.
