Bulldogs and Terriers

[CYJ]

I have read some old articles and seen 15th and 16th century tapestries. That show some dogs along with hunting hounds. That look just like our dogs today. In one of these articles, the writer felt that these particular breed of dogs. That we today call a American Pit Bull Terrier is a ancient breed maybe old as the Bloodhound and Greyhound.

On the ironic side of all this. I watched a romantic murder thriller with my wife today. The TV movie special was titled " The Making of a Lady". This movie was set in the late to early Elisabeth era on a huge land estate with the large many roomed four story house etc. What kept catching my eye was a statue of a protective brood bitch with nursing pups. This statue was in the center of the main drive way. This dog looked just like many of our dogs today. Cheers
