[edit] Vulnerable Native Breed
This breed is classed in Britain as a VNB - a breed which originated in the UK but now has registration numbers with the Kennel Club of less then 300 puppies per year.
I'm a Canadian teenager on a gap year before Uni and I'm really interested in this. Would anyone like a VNB paragraph/link on this page? I can write it, but am ignorant about formatting etc. Plus, I'm trying to put together a whole collection on all 29 breeds on this list, including history and so on, using Wikipedia as one of my many sources. If you can help, or are interested at all, please contact me either on my talk page or at green_ied_dragon@hotmail.com

[edit] Wild Lies
Though early bull-terriers (that is immediate predecessors of the pit bull and SBT) tended to be smaller than many bull-terriers common today, Hinks Bull Terriers began as taller, leaner dogs - not shorter and more compact dogs, as this article suggests - than the present English Bullterrier. Though pointer blood, and even blood from other breeds, was introduced in Hinks' bullterrier line, and this may have added height, it did not make the breed a better fighter... in fact, size has little to do w/ gameness, and out-crossing to non-game dogs and breeds made the Hinks Bullterrier a less sufficient combatant.
Simply put, the HBT/EBT was never the size of the current miniature EBT, though the Bullterriers it was bred from may have been. Propogating such non-sense is very unbecoming, as well as saying little for those who represet the breed.
