The Bull and Terrier Breeds...

The white bull terrier, oldest breed of the pure bull and terrier matings
There are the Colored and miniature variations of this breed.


Seems more closely related to our modern day american dogs than the bull terrier


The newest addition though accepted earlier than the staffy bull by the AKC.


I dont want to argue about this american pit bull terriers comformation or this or that. This is just a really cool picture!!!

Reputed to have won 20 battles, which may have been a record. He was bred to more than 20 bitches and some of his offspring were A.K.C. registered.

and believe it or not.......

the beloved Boston Terrier.

Thanks to the wonderful breed registry AKC for the photos and all they do to maintain, and promote the wonderful world of purebred dogs!
If ive forgotten anything or misquoted please add too, im a chump just like anyone else......

 

PS.. Absolutely not to take anything away from the very hard work of the Greenwood family of the ADBA or the UKC registries whos hard work and dedication handed the AKC a near masterpieace of selective dog breeding, signed, sealed and delivered...

 

It's interesting to note though that the Bull Terrier didn't actually have the current egg head until well after it originated. I have a book somewhere on the breed's history, and it's remarkable how similar the early 1900s BTs were to APBTs of the same time period. Then slowly the BT evolved into its current form.

 

Don't forget the Olde Boston Bulldogge

Thought Id refresh this topic since it recently came up again and the AKC just revamped the website.
