Brindle Bulldogs?

Thanks to all of you guys for posting such great pictures. I am no bulldog historian, but here is what I remember what the oldtimers told me back when I lived in Florida and visited southern Georgia. First off, not one of them ever used the term American Bulldogs. The most common name was White English bulldogs. I heard this in both Florida and Georgia. I did also hear the name Old Timey Bulldogs in Alabama and Country Bulldogs in Georgia. As for the brindle ones, I think they they were thought of as not as pure as the white ones because it was common practice to cross a plott hound with a white bulldog or a pitbull. Maybe that is the reason why some said it was best not crosss white with brindle (although this was done all the time). Not sure on that, only a guess. In Georgia it was also common to cross pointer or some type of bird dog with a bulldog. A friend of mine who lived in Oklahoma told me he too heard the term brindle bulldog and old timey bulldog while living there. The real old timers never heard of foundation breeders such as Scott, Johnson, and Painter. The size of the dogs varied depending on the region, some region being known for larger ones (90 pounds), some regions for smaller ones (65 pounds). One of the foundation dogs of both the Johnson and Scott bloodlines had a lot of red brindle in him (white too) and his name was Mac the Masher, a catch dog from Alabama. Like I said, I am no historian, just interested and could be wrong on some of this. Never llived in Texas, so I don't know squat about your dogs.
