We are going this week to have a look at them at the owners house.

What should we look for?? (Dog & house?)

Thanks

They are not albino!! These are known as pure white, at one time the most desired Bull Terrier, as bred by Mr. Hinks back in the 1820's. They were bred from ' the Bull Dog and any Terrier with a keen eye for a rat', known then as 'the Bull and Terrier'. Believe me, I know my Bullies, have had them for over twenty years. The coloured Bull Terriers come from introducing Staffordshires to them around 1890 to take away the imperfections such as blindness, deafness, arthritis, also the Dalmation was introduced to give them 'height and a greater spring of step'.

Phil, words can't describe the moment he took four big breaths and sighed, gone.

Albino was just a word I used to describe the full white and pink noses mate. I thought the full white with black noses are usually fine but the one with pink noses pink eyes etc can have a few health problems?

Dave, ask to see the dog and bitch together in the same room. The bitch will look a little thin at the moment as she maybe still feeding. If the two don't want to be together and the bitch seems agitated, don't worry too much as she may feel he's a threat to the pups, but if he's aggresive towards her it may indicate that the breeder may just be a 'farmer', ie. just out to make as much dosh as he can, and the mating was just another deal. If they are good breeders, they will ask to see where you live and ask if anyone will be at home during the day to look after the pup.
The chap we bought our brindle and white bitch 'Rusty' from is now a very close friend, lovely person.

i have two boxers. the eldest, Joba, is 12 now, so will probably go any week/month. im going to be heartbroken when she dies, and so will the youngest, Maple. she adores Joba and followes her everywhere.
