Widows peak in Bulldogs

Some more information on the widows peaks. I bred bulldogs for many years and know quite a few of the oldest dog men was in the game which most have now passed on but there are a few still alive. I was talking to a old friend of mine that owned bulldogs since he was 9 years old he is now 70 or better. He owned dogs straight off of Eli Jr. Brendy and Bullyson . He also owned the old Maw bitch that started the Alien/Bullnumber 2 line of dogs also known as the White dogs with the great Banditlio dog . He owned the sister to Chinaman and dogs straight off of the great old Bolio dog as a matter of fact his best friend had Eli Jr. , Bolio and Java all on his yard at the same time He knew just about all of the great old dog men personally . We were talking about the widows peak and were it may have come from. He said that it came from the white colored bulldogs of long long ago. Earl Tudor loved the white dogs and the widows peak from what he tells me. Also Tudor imported dogs from the Irish in Ireland and also dogs from the English. My old buddy was in the military and over in Ireland for a stay. He said while he was over there he met a man that owned around are over 300 bulldogs all on chains and kept perfectly. Nearly all White dogs and a lot with widows peaks. The Irishman told my friend that these dogs had been in his family for around 200 years are so . These bulldogs and the widows peak has been around for hundreds of years it goes back years and years. I was also talking to him about what was mention up there about bulldog being bred into the Catahoula line of dogs to which he said he would not doubt it at all. Like he said people need to understand that breeds of different dogs have been around for hundreds of years and bred for a different working purposes back in the old old days not for play not for show but for jobs. People could not afford to feed dogs just because they were pretty.

I once bred a family of dogs so tightly that I had a kick back come out of a liter. When I seen this pup born I had no ideal what it was are were it came from. The oddest looking thing and I was sitting there when it was born. This dog had a dark blue color with light blue splotches mixed all in the coat of hair. It looked like the underneath was spray painted with a light gun metal blue and then you stepped back with a bucket of dark blue paint and just slung it at the dog . Damndest thing you ever seen . As the pup got up to about four five months old . I was out playing with the dog on a bright sunny day and I got to looking at the dog . When the sunlight would hit the dog the coat looked reddished and as soon as it was in the shade it would be dark blue to gun metal blue damndest thing I had ever seen thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Well as the dog got up to about six months old I never in my life seen a bulldog look like this . So I got to asking around and sent pictures to every body I knew even in other countries. Nobody had a anwser. Then one day out of the blue a man from the UK emailed me and said he would like to send me a picture that he knew what the dog was and what happened in the breeding. He sends me this hand painted picture of this dog from the 1700's . Yes you read that right from the 1700's. It was a picture of the a Blu Pahl fighting dog. He said with the hard family and inbreeding I had done on this line of dogs that the dog I now had in my possession was a direct Throw back to the blu Pahl fighting dogs of the 1700's. Needless to say I like to crapped my britches when I unrolled the painting that he had sent me . True story . So you see you can get throw backs from many many many years if bred well enuff.
