Breed Degeneration

 'Type is preserved by 'aspiring to function and historical correctness rather than fashion and kennel club standards.' The Story of the Real Bulldog

"Dogs were used and worked in the true sense of the word and any weakness appeared very quickly as a result of the rigorous life expected of dogs in those days. The breeders of this time had a natural instinct for their stock and new a good dog by feel and observation. They did not need a pedigree to tell them which was a good specimen; they knew every dog and it's offspring for miles around.." The Bullmastiff Manual  Bill Walkey

"We do not hold with improving a breed off the face of the earth, and have no sympathy with those who attempt to do so."  The Story of the Real Bulldog

"Judges favor different things in dogs, and the mistake is breeding to satisfy what can only be a purely subjective opinion. It must be said that, in general, if a dog has no work to do that requires breeding for physical ability, then showing and breeding for shows is too often counterproductive to canine health. People have bred many breeds into a truly sorry state."  The Story of the Real Bulldog

"Any breed no longer bred for a function, even if that function has lapsed, has a doubtful future."  The Mastiffs, the Big Game Hunters

"Pugnacity and unbridled aggressiveness are completely different from the sensible readiness to defend..."  Fighting Dog Breeds  Dr. Dieter Fleig

"We are guilty of ignorance and arrogance if, seeing that we have taken the wrong path, we pretend that we cannot right the mistakes we have made."  The Story of the Real Bulldog

"Most breeds have changed dramatically in the past several decades, often not even recognizable as the same dogs from which they came."   Colby's Book of the American Pit Bull Terrier

"At what stage do a group of enlightened breeders say 'Enough is enough, our dogs are not true to their distinguished heritage.' "   The Mastiffs, the Big Game Hunters

This is the American Pit Bull Terrier!

Take this test.

Lest we forget, the American Bulldog was originally registered as the American Pit Bulldog. "Some of the larger strains of Pit Bull Terrier have recently been inbred to create a breed called the American Bulldog." Colby's Book of the APBT
