Only fit for the pit

FIGHTING DOGS - DESCRIPTION

The bull terrier is bred from an English hound and full-blooded bulldog, and the best breed are those raised in the north of England.

Bull terriers are used for fighting, rat killing, bear badgering and raccoon baiting. This species of canine derives his name from the fact thatin days of yore he was pitted against bulls, and wagers were put up on such contests.

Bulldogs are generally low in stature, deep and broad chested, and compactly built about the shoulders and thighs. The head of a well bred bulldog should be broad and his nose short,while his under jaw should project beyond the upper one. His eyes should be large and have a peculiar glare, which, with the distention of the nostrils, should make him have a ferocious and determined look.

It has always been acknowledged that the bulldog is the most ugly and unrelenting of the canine breed. He will attack any animal, no matter whether it be a lion or a tiger. It is strange and yet a fact that the brain of a bulldog is smaller than that of any other animal. A Newfoundland dog is intelligent, but a bulldog is devoid of every attribute of intelligence, and he is only fit for the pit.
