Yeah he's been on some hogs, he's extremely rough and goes right for the neck every time just about. I know what you mean, I would love to have another but they are real hard to find out of a hunting stock or somebody willing to let you hunt them. I'll be a buyer if you got that program set up!!! Shiner is good looking for sure. Is there a difference between English Bull Terriers & Bull Terriers? I'm not so sure but Roscoe is English style. Lol we let him play with 12lb bowling bowl and he destroys them, his favorite toy. Have to watch your legs/ankles when he throws it at you.
I'm not sure what Bull Arabs have in them but that's another breed I have taken a liking too.
I know what you mean about if she saw another dog it was right for the neck..... Roscoe has killed two other dogs of the neighbors because they've gotten loose and come onto the property. It's really unfortunate but his prey drive is insane like you say there isn't no quitting. He's a real good dog though just gets his feelings hurt too easily at times, lol.
They are almost too intelligent for their own good. They do have selective hearing too lol. English Bull Terrier is the complete name for the breed. There are 'standards' which are normal sized, and then there are 'miniature' bull terriers which are by breed standard smaller. My husband's minis catch right on the ear every time. They really are just full of prey drive....vermin watch out! They can be dog aggressive as well if not socialized around other dogs from the beginning. Even if they are generally good with other dogs, you have to watch it because they are typically a dominant breed and will not hesitate to brawl if the moment arises. They do have hellafied bites, and my husband's need to be broken off a hog, just as the other bulldogs do. Yeah most breeders will gasp if you mention the concept of hunting with these dogs. It's a shame really, how much they have deviated from their original standard/purpose. Most you see nowadays are horribly over weight as well, which is depressing. Shiner will always be kept to the same standard as all my working dogs. He's turning out quite nicely, I am very happy with him. I can't wait to get his career rolling so that I can then implement him into my breeding program.
It's refreshing to meet others who use these guys as working dogs as well...
