Britain’s Extinct Fighting Dogs

Before the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, there were other dogs — bigger, tougher, and now completely extinct.

In this episode, we uncover their origins, their differences, and their possible influence on modern bull breeds. #ExtinctDogs #DogsOfHistory #BluePaulTerrier #RedSmut #StaffyHistory #BullBreeds #DogBreeds #CanineHistory #BritishDogs #workingline
