BLUE HISTORY
All articles provided by T smith for BBP.com to educate those interested in BLUE-PIT BULLS.







The Blue Paul Terrier
was bred in Scotland and Mr James B.Morrison was a leading breeder.
The Blue Paul Terrier now extinct resembled our contemporary pit dogs. They had a smooth coat and were powerfully built. They weighed about 20kg and measured up to 50cm at the shoulder. The head was large, forehead flat, muscle short and square, large and broad but not receding like that of the bulldog. The jaws and teeth even with no over changing flews, slight dip between the eyes which should be dark hazel and neither sunk nor prominent or showing haw. The ears were small, thin, set on high and invariably cropped and the face was not wrinkled. The eyebrows contracted or knit. The facial expression of the Blue Paul has never been seen in any other breed and can frequently be recognized in mixed-breed dogs.
The body was round and well ribbed up, back short broad and muscular but not roached, chest very deep and wide, the tail was set low and devoid of fringe, rather drooping and never rising above the back. The dog stands straight and firmly on its legs, forelegs stout and muscular, showing no curve. The hind legs were very thick, strong, with well developed muscles. The colour was dark blue as can be seen in Greyhounds; however, they sometimes produced brindles or reds, which were known as red smuts in Scotland.

No one seems to have full knowledge as to how the Blue Pauls were bred or from where they originally came. There was a story that Paul Jones, the pirate, brought them from aboard and landed some when he visited his native town of Kirkcudbright about 1770. The gypsies around the Kin Tilloch district kept a lot of Blue Pauls which they fought for their own amusement. They were game to the death and could suffer much punishment. They were expert and tricky in their fighting tactics which made them great favorites with those who indulged in this sport. They maintained that the breed originally came from the Galloway coast which lends support to the Paul Jones legend. The first dogs to arrive in the United States with the English immigrants in the mid-19th century were the Blue Paul Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

With his excellent fighting skills, the Blue Paul was introduced as part of Staffordshire Bull Terrier breeding in the early 19th century and the blue colouring has appeared in Staffords ever since, in particular, the Blue Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

THE LEGACY OF
THE TRI-COLORED PIT-BULL

In the 1920's the colbys owned a tri color named Mack that was a black and tan with white socks and a white line down his face.

In 1963 the Colby's Demo a UKC registered red tri colored male who was kept in Newburyport by john o'donnell who ran a restaurant there.

While Demo was bred from some of the most reknowed fighting dogs in history Demo would not bother a sole he would run the streets freely plaing with the neighborhood children after school and was a friend to a great many people around town.

The Colbys Dinah a black and tan female with her ears cropped often stood at attention and was the damn to Colbys jule.
