It’s good to see he has a life outside the ring that isn’t just studding.

He’s still insanely overdone, as are most of his peers.

I’m not sure why the 70s caused so many breeds to be drastically modified from the AKC standards, but they were.

That ^ page shows the changes accelerating in the late 50s and by the 70s, the hammer head was the new normal.

CH Haymarket Faultless looked little like the BTs of today.

It’s not just the “Bull And Terrier” who has been mangled.

People do weird things to dogs for the sake of fashion.
