History: Their ancestors were brought to the Unites States in the mid 1800s by Boston-Irish immigrants. Originally bred from a variety of bulldogs and terriers, American breeders increased their weight and gave them a more powerful head. A forbearer to the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, they were originally bred to be a fighting dog. Bull baiting was banned in England in 1835 and these dogs are no longer been bred to fight. There is some complication in registries of this breed. The AKC considers the American Staffordshire Terrier as separate and distinct from the American Pit Bull Terrier, yet the UKC will register both as American Pit Bull Terriers (APBTs).

Country of Origin: Great Britain
History: The term "Bulldog" was originally created to describe any dog that shared the same qualities of a dog who fought bulls in bull-baiting. As the story goes, bull-baiting began in the 13th century in England, when Lord Stamford of Lincolnshire saw a couple dogs "baiting" a butcher's bull. Lord Stamford was so entertained that he had a field reserved for bull-baiting in order that the butcher provide their own dogs. Bull meat was said to taste better if it had been baited before it was butchered. The dogs were also put into the fighting ring with other dogs, in the sport of dog-fighting. They would even take on other animals such as bulls, bears, badgers, lions and monkeys in the ring. After 1835 when bull-baiting was outlawed, the Bulldog had depleted its use. But thanks to their popularity already and the help of Bill George, an avid breeder, the Bulldog maintained its status. The only difference now was that they were bred for personality, not fighting ability. The Bulldog continued on and became more and more friendly and amiable, rather than fierce and aggressive. In 1891 the London Bulldog Society was formed, and still has meetings at the Crufts Dog Show. Bulldogs roots are firmly planted in British soil, being mentioned in many written works in English history as well as being a national icon for Britain. Shakespeare refers to the breed in King Henry, VI. The breed was bred down to become smaller than it originally was. Now breeders concentrate on developing their non-ferocious traits, which actually has led to a lot of health problems. Bulldogs can not swim, can not go on long walks, and can be in danger in the heat. They have been bred to have such wide collar bones and chests that they often cannot fit through the birth canal when being born, and therefore must have Caesarian sections performed. The Bulldog is now a popular show dog and pet around the world.

Description: The Bullmastiff is the doggy icon of power and purpose. Bullmastiffs show great strength, endurance and alertness. They are a natural guardian of the home and will not back down from a fight. To strangers they are rather standoffish, but they are loving toward their owner and friends. Bullmastiffs are normally very gentle, cheerful and calm. They make a devoted, gentle companion. They are very good with children, and are willing to please. Although they are large dogs, they are loyal and gentle. They are also known as the "Gamekeeper's Night Dog" because they were bred to accompany gamekeepers for the ability to track and overpower poachers. After poaching died out, game trials challenged these dogs to pursue and hold down a volunteer who would run out into the woods. The dog's command was to hold the person down, but not attack. The dogs always won and are excellent in obedience and strength. They can be domineering among their own kind, but are generally easygoing dogs. A strong but loving owner is suggested.

Bloat is a health issue to most dogs, being the second largest killer of dogs other than cancer, but Bullmastiffs can be particularly susceptible to it because of their deep chests. Other health concerns include elbow dysplasia, eye problems, cardiac disease, hypothyroidism, kidney problems, and panosteitis (bone disease).

Life Span: 8 - 12 years, not usually more than 10.
Litter Size: 5 - 8 puppies.

Country of Origin: Great Britain
History: Developed in the late nineteenth century, the Bullmastiff was created by crossing the Mastiff with a Bulldog. The need for a good poacher-hunting dog was in store, and gamekeepers combined these two for speed and power. The Mastiff was powerful but not very fast, and the Bulldog was quicker, being smaller, but not large enough to overpower. Around this time, estate owners who owned game had such a terrible problem with poaching that the death penalty was on the head of anyone who tried. This gave way to poachers being a danger to the gamekeepers, for which the Bullmastiff was needed. Bullmastiffs were trained to wait silently in the dark until the command was given to attack. The Bullmastiff was known to easily take down poachers, holding them until the owner came. The dogs were trained not to maul the poacher but to take them down and hold them. This led to the dog's title of "Gamekeeper's Night Dogs". Around the turn of the 20th century, poaching was not as much of a problem, but staged hunts were planned to keep the dog in practice. Volunteers ran out into the forest for a few minutes, then the Bullmastiff was released to track him down. The Bullmastiff would be found holding down the victim, but not attacking, and then his master would arrive. According to records, the dogs were always the winners. In 1924 Bullmastiffs were standardized and officially recognized in England, followed by the American Kennel Club in 1933. In England, the breed is considered best if about 50 percent Bulldog and 50 percent Mastiff, while Americans prefer the breed to be about 60 Mastiff and 40 percent Bulldog.

Country of Origin: Great Britain
History: Bull Terriers were crossed with the old English Bulldog and English White Terrier (now extinct) in the early 19th century. James Hinks, from Birmingham in Great Britain, originally developed the breed between the 1830s and the 1860s. They are also most certainly mixed with Dalmatian, and are thought to have converged with the Spanish Pointer, Greyhounds and Whippets. White being Hinks' favorite color for the breed, the dogs were originally all white. The characteristics chosen from this mixing of the breeds was the egg shape of the head, the white color, and the small triangular eyes. Along with these preferred attributes came frequent deafness, heart disease and skin problems. At this time they were a lighter more agile dog who was used to bait bulls, dog fighting and to tackle vermin. Color was only added later on in the 1900s when crosses were made with the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Added as an AKC variety of Bull Terrier, the coloreds were not originally well-received, but soon found their place. The white Bullies were nicknamed the "white Cavalier" because of their ability to discern pit fighting from confrontations outside of work. Some Bull Terriers were known to avoid a fight when they weren't in the pit, and were bred for the ability of not provoking a fight. Bull Terriers were prized for their courage, agility and tenacity. They were rated as the third most suitable breed in wartime achievements by Colonelt James Y. Baldwin, Commander of the War Dogs Training Establishment. President Theodore Roosevelt also owned one of these lovable dogs. Originally, the ears had to be cropped, but since 1895 when cropping was outlawed the breed has since been fixed to have naturally cropped ears. Sometimes a defender and sometimes a clown, this uniquely shaped breed has since become a popular sight among Americans.

Country of Origin: Germany
History: Known in Europe as the Rottweiler Metzgerhund, they were named after the town of Rottweil. The Rottweiler is thought to have come from two different origins: either it descended from the Tibetan Mastiffs that were brought by the Romans from their quests, or it is believed to be a descendent of the early German Shepherd Dog. They were originally bred to control livestock. In the early European days of this dog, he was used to pull the meat carts, as well as to guard and protect valuables and cattle. When the cattle were eaten, the Rotties were left on their own. Later, owners began to use this breed to guard their money. Butchers pulling cattle and wares to the market had a dangerous trip, with people lying in wait to jump out and steal their money. Therefore, owners would tie their money belts around the necks of their Rottweilers, thus greatly protecting their possessions. When roads and other inventions began to permeate the towns, dogs of their size were no longer needed, and began to be more burden than bounty. Smaller dogs were much preferred then, as they wouldn't take up as much resources. The breed almost disappeared around 1900, but soon after fanciers set out to revive the breed, like so many others on the verge of extinction. In the 1930s the breed was backed by enthusiasts and obtained CKC and AKC recognition. During the First World War the Rottweiler proved to to be an intelligent police and guard dog. In 1936 the breed was brought to England, but it took another 30 years before it was accepted by the British Kennel Club. Today the breed has gained great popularity, and has been used as a police, guard, military, cattle drover, search and rescue and companion dog.

Country of Origin: Germany
History: The origins of the Doberman Pinscher come from Apolda in Thuringen, Germany in the 1870s. Louis Dobermann, a tax collector and local dog pound owner is credited with the creation of this breed. Dobermann needed protectors and intimidators on his tax collection rounds due to traveling in bad areas. Louis would take certain dogs with him, but he wanted to develop a breed that was hardy, intelligent, of sound temperament and had quick reactions. He also wanted a dog that was strong and had more of a guarding instinct. Within record timing, Dobermann created a breed from the German Shepherd, German Pinscher, Weimaraner, Rottweiler, English Greyhound and Manchester Terrier. This breed was called the Doberman, obviously due to his name. Most authorities feel they came from a shorthaired shepherd, the Rottweiler, a German smooth-haired Pinscher and a Black and Tan Terrier. At first, the breed was quite vicious and was said to attack "even the devil himself". They were difficult to keep, and courage was needed to own and train one. In America around that time, one Doberman won three Best in Show awards before the judges even looked at the teeth. When they finally examined his mouth, they discovered he had several missing teeth--a major fault in the Doberman. Today, the breed has been bred down to have a more cohesive personality and easier training capabilities. This is credited partly to Otto Goeller, who took over the breeding of the dogs after Dobermann's death. Goeller created the German National Doberman Pinscher Club in 1899, and the breed was given official recognition in 1900. Around WWI, America began to seek out this new breed, while in Germany the breed was lilting due to the war, and scarcity of food. In 1948 the breed gained a club in England, and soon after was given recognition by the British Kennel Club. In 1977 the Doberman was the second most popular breed in America, and today the breed thrives as a popular police dog as well as a guide dog for the blind.

Heres more pics and History and the dogs are Dogo Argentino,Dogue De Bordeaux, and Staffordshire Bullterriers

 White Dogo Argentino

Description: As an endurance hound much like the Irish Wolfhound ancestor, the Dogo Argentino (Dogo's) are expected to track wild boar across vast pampas, corner the animal and attack and hold it for the hunters. They are capable of incredible bursts of speed for short distances, but are known for covering long distances at a gallop. Having cornered the boar, they must have enough strength in reserve to attack and hold a wild boar weighing up to 400 pounds. The Dogo is a large, white, smooth coated animal that gives the appearance of power. They have bodies slightly longer than they are tall, with females being slightly longer than males. They have a mostly square, slightly domed skull and a large black nose, that may have some pink in it. The ears are naturally dropped, but may be cropped for show. Made up of ten different breeds for ten different reasons, the Dogo Argentino may look fierce, but his friendly demeanor is masked by his appearance. The Dogo Argentino craves close physical contact with their people. As the saying goes, a Dogo Argentino never lays at your feet, they lay on your feet. They are a reliable family guardian, interested in all activities and enjoying guests along with their family. Dogos are very protective and good at guarding. Unwelcome guests should not approach this breed. Should the Dogo Argentino discern a direct threat to any member of their family, they will act to protect that person. Argentine Dogos are very reliable, affectionate with friends and family, and intelligent. They are highly trainable, good with children, and love to be the center of attention. A warm body and soft couch will keep a Dogo Argentino quiet for hours.

Dogos greatly enjoy human companionship, longing to be with their owners every step of the way. They are intelligent, curious, trainable and trustworthy. They are powerful, loyal and courageous. They are wary of strangers, and prospective owners should be aware that they were originally bred to be able to attack unwelcome guests, although they have been bred down to be pack hunters and non-aggressive. Some strains in Argentina are still bred for aggressiveness, so they can be used in dog fights. These lines are unsuitable for hunting or for families. These specific lines are smaller in size, ranging from 75 - 90 lbs. Regular Dogo Argentinos are protective of their space, and loyal to their owners. Dogos are an endless playmate, with stamina and long life. Dogos require a dominant owner to lead them.

Country of Origin: Argentina
History: The Dogo Argentino was developed in Argentina in the late 1920’s by doctors Antonio and Agustin Nores Martinez, dog enthusiasts and avid hunters. The Dogo Argentino was primarily intended to be used as a hunting dog for puma and jaguar, as well as a guardian and all-around family dog. As a guard dog, the Dogo Argentino was expected not only to bark a warning at strangers and stop intruders, but to do so with such determination as to fight an intruder to the death, if needed, without being distracted by any injury inflicted to itself during the course of the battle. Dr. Martinez' belief was that "A dog which attacks an intruder and then, at the first threat of injury, abandons its prisoner is worth nothing as a guardian." And so great care was put into high pain tolerance for this breed. Another trait highly valued in the Dogo was his white fur, able to deflect the sun rather than absorb it. Unfortunately, Dogos still suffer from sunburn in intense heat. The base stock began with the Old Cordoba Fighting Dog (now extinct). This dog was known for one thing: fighting. It was said that an Old Cordoba would even try to pick a fight with the female it was trying to mate with. Next, several other breeds were added to the mix. These included Mastiffs, Bulldogs, Boxers, English Pointers, Bull Terriers, Old English Bulldogs, Mastiffs, Dogue De Bordeaux, Harlequin Great Danes, Pyrenean Mastiffs and Irish Wolfhounds. This created the animal that Martinez was looking for. The Dogo had the tenacity, endurance, confidence, trainability, guarding instinct, speed and awesome scenting ability that they had searched for. The first standard for this breed was recorded in 1928. The breed is still used today as a fighting and hunting dog in Argentina, and is popular in Europe, especially Germany. Here it gained recognition with the FCI in 1960. In America, there are clubs for this breed, although not widely known. Today they are used for narcotics and drug detection, police dogs, and even guides for the blind. Dogo Argentinos are one of very few breeds to come from Argentina.

Country of Origin: France
History: The Dogue de Bordeaux is one of the oldest French Breeds. The name comes from southern France, in the Bordeaux region where it was thought to have originated. Its actual origins are obscure, but it probably descended from one of the strains of Mastiff type dogs that accompanied Macedonian and Roman armies through Asia, Europe and Britain. They were thought to have been a mix of the Tibetan Mastiff, Roman Mollussus or Spanish Alano. They were used as guardian dogs for protecting homes, butcher shops and vineyards, as well as pack hunting dogs that baited bulls and pursued boars, bears and jaguars. Often they were thrown in the ring with jaguars, bears and boars, fighting to the death. The attitude of the time was made known through dog fights in a comment by Gaston Phoebus of the 1300s when he described the Dogue: "But they are heavy and ugly and, if a wild boar were to kill them, it would be no great loss." During the French Revolution, Dogue de Bordeaux were considered the dogs of royalty, and many a Bordeaux was killed defending its master. The breed almost died out, but fortunately caught the eye of cynologists at the time, who took the breed and revived it enough to where it now exists in Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Africa and the United States. The breed narrowly missed extinction, again, during the two world wars but enjoyed resurgence in the 1960s. Sometime in the early 1980s the first Dogue was imported to the United States. The breed is now used today almost exclusively as a family companion and guardian.

 Black and White Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Description: The Staffordshire Bull Terrier, or Staffy, are smooth-coated dogs who have great strength for their size. A mix between a terrier and a bulldog, they are muscular but should also be active and agile. Staffordshire Bull Terriers are usually adoring within their family circle, but need firm handling and constant training as they have a strong instinct to fight with other dogs. This breed is a strong, well-muscled animal that is medium sized, yet still looks imposing. They have strongly-muscled back legs, wide set front legs, and a square head. They have a black nose and their fur can be red, fawn, white, black or blue. The ears are rose or semi-erect. No matter where they are they give the impression of raw strength and power. Staff Bull Terriers know their strength, and therefore find little use to express it unless the time comes. They are relatively calm and quiet, until the need for defense arises. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a game companion, being very affectionate and ready to do whatever you want to do. They will gladly go with you to play sports or just go for a walk. This breed requires a lot of physical stimulation to keep those muscles fit. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is not only reliable and competent in the home, but is also easy to care for.

The Staffy is game and willing to hang out with you with whatever you want to do. They make excellent guards and watch dogs, yet they are very affectionate and lovable at the same time. They adore children. Being a retiree of bull-baiting, this breed is unafraid of a fight with another dog, and therefore should be kept away from such situations. They usually come out the victor. Staff Bull Terriers are courageous, reliable, tenacious and even-tempered. They have a strong prey drive.

Rub down with a towel or chamois to remove loose hairs. Bathe only when necessary. Staffies need plenty of regular exercise which should consist of play time and daily walks on a leash. They should be kept on a leash in public places.
Training: The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a quick learner, but they may be stubborn at times. Consistent training from puppyhood is the best approach.

Country of Origin: Great Britain
History: Thought to be the "original" Bull-and-Terrier, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier evolved from the British Isles as a direct result of a cross between an Old English Bulldog and a smooth-coated terrier, possibly the Black and Tan Terrier. When early specimens of this breed were brought to the United States in the 1800s, they were crossed with other breeds to become larger and taller. This produced the American Staffordshire Terrier and the American Pit Bull Terrier. The original smaller Staffy remained in England without change. The Staffy was originally used for bull-baiting and dog fighting. When the sport was outlawed in Britain, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier was developed along gentler lines as a companion dog. Fancier Joseph Dunn didn't want to see this breed vanish into history, so he created a club for the breed and strove to make the breed recognized by the Kennel Club of England. Since no name had yet been chosen for this breed, and Bull Terrier was already taken, the breed's name fell to a city of great interest in the breed, Staffordshire. In 1935 the breed was accepted by the Kennel Club of England. Staffordshire Bull Terriers gained more popularity due to this. Canada accepted the breed in 1952, but the U.S. only followed suit 22 years later. Similar to the AmStaff, Staff, and Pit Bull in appearance, the only difference other than size is the fact that ear cropping is illegal on this breed. The ears are meant to be half-dropped or folded back "rose". Today the Staffy is still a very popular housepet.
