Breed Profile – Boxer

April 8, 2008 by z3admin Leave a Comment

History:

Boxers are descendants of two German Mastiff-type dogs the Bullenbeizer and Barenbieszer, which were later crossed with Mastiffs and Bulldogs. Historically Boxers have been involved in a variety of activities including hunting, bull baiting, pulling carts, circus dogs and tending to livestock as cattle dogs. The breed standard was established in the early 1900s and the name Boxer is derived from their “punchy” fighting style. Today’s Boxer is a gentle and loving family companion that make excellent guard dogs. Boxers can be found working in search and rescue as well as in the military, they also participate in obedience and trick competitions. [Read more…]

April 8, 2008 by z3admin 2 Comments

History:

The Banter Bulldogge represents a very new breed of bulldog. Developed in the late 1990s by Todd Tripp these dogs are created upon of dogs that were Boxer and of a working bull breed like Pit Bulls, Am Staff and American Bulldog.

Breed Profile – American Staffordshire Terrier

April 8, 2008 by z3admin 3 Comments

History:

The Staffordshire Terrier traces its origins back to the English region of Staffordshire in the 1800s during which time there was various cross breeding among the Bulldog and various terriers. Once brought to the United States the large, muscular head and increased girth exhibited by these dogs was preferred by American breeders and as a result the Am Staff is much larger and heavier than its British cousin, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. After the banning of dog fighting in the US around 1900 two strains of this type of dog resulted, a show strain called the American Staffordshire and less stocky breed known as the Pit Bull Terrier. Under the right ownership these are wonderful family dogs and they can be seen in various roles such as police work, weight pulling and agility. [Read more…]

History:

Bulldogs originated in England where they were working dogs in charge of catching cattle and guarding their masters’ property. This breed was also, at one time, used in the grueling and violent sport of bull baiting. The original bulldog was preserved by immigrants from Great Britain that brought their dogs along with them to the American South. This breed almost became extinct by the end of WWII due to their decreasing numbers after bull baiting was outlawed, but thanks to breeding programs sponsored by John D. Johnson and Allen Scott the breed was brought back from the brink of extinction. [Read more…]
