Family line of bulldogs documented to 1893 and were most certainly around earlier. Hawkensville Georgia. This strain was used to develop the Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog and the Hines. Dogs similar to it were used to develop the American Bulldogs in the 1970's by both Johnson and Scott. Each added other dogs to the breedings to get what they wanted.

Mr Harry Monk's
Bloomsbury line of show Bull-Terrier....
Mr Monk was breeding and showing his Bull-Terriers from the early 1890s right on up into the 1900s dieing of old age in the 1930s.... Bloomsbury Squib and Bloomsbury Tarquin being 2 of his most famous early show dogs, Tarquin being the only dog to beat Ch Woodcote Wonder in the show ring and by his own words being the back bone of his line of Bull-Terriers...A lot of the Bloomsbury dogs in the latter part of the 1800s was bred out of Sherbourne King and Woodcote Venus... Venus was bred to Bloomsbury Surprise to produce Bloomsbury King....in 1898 Mr Monk purchased a prick-eared dog that became Bloomsbury Charlwood from then on, no one of his time had as much success as him in Breeding for dogs that had pricked-ears..... Harry Monk was a show man and loved to dress to impress all ways in his bowler hat check suit with white spats and a buttonhole. They say that he was like a circus ring master in the Ring mesmerising the dogs along with the judges, his dogs was some of the best trained for the ring.......
Much loved Mr Harry Monk was one of the greats from the late 1800s in the white Bull Terrier and bred some stunning early show dog's.....

Two good looking bulldogs, especially the mostly red female called Ruby. She has the classic bat ears of a true bulldog. The male is a white english bulldog.

Friedrich Wilhelm Keyl (1823-71)
"Looty" 1861

Looty, a Pekinese Lion dog, is depicted here sitting on a red cushion in front of a Japanese vase. Beside the dog are a bunch of flowers and his collar, on which are sewn two little bells. The little dog had been found by Captain John Hart Dunne of the 99th Regiment after the Summer Palace near Beijing (Peking, as it was then known) had been looted on 8 October 1860. When he returned to England he presented it to Queen Victoria for 'the Royal Collection of dogs'. Looty was considered 'the smallest and by far the most beautiful little animal that has appeared in this country'. When Keyl was asked to sketch Looty he was told he 'must put something to shew its size it is remarkably small'. A replica of this picture was painted for Captain Dunne.

I have a small repair shop behind my house where I work on vehicles for friends and family sometimes. Yesterday my wife was out and I was on my creeper under a truck I was working on. We have a 3 year old Golden Retriever, big boy, about 97 pounds and very protective. Anyway he comes running outside, came to where I was working and started barking and whining like something was wrong. So I got up and he immediately takes off and runs back inside the house. When I came in the back door, he was standing on his hind legs looking out the window. I looked out to see what he was looking at and there was a delivery truck parked directly in front out our house. I was really surprised and proud of him for being so cautious and observant. But after thinking about it, if he can do that. He might figure out a way to tell the wife about some of the firearms that she doesn't know about. They are too close for comfort, he would definitely choose her over me. Me and this dog may just be in for some trouble ahead.

For those that don’t know the begging history of the United States Marine Corps bulldog line...

Originally named King Bulwark, he was adopted by the commandant of the Marine Corps and two-time recipient of the Medal of Honor, Brig. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, in 1921. At the time, calling a dog “king” didn’t jive with the Corps, even if it was a kickass name, so Butler renamed him Jiggs. With his new position came new threads, including a tailor-made set of dress blues, a range of covers and uniform items, and rank insignia. In no time, Jiggs was promoted to SgtMaj.

The marines were trying to outdo sergeant stubby.

Stubby was described in contemporaneous news items as a Boston Terrier or "American bull terrier"[a] mutt.[5][8] Describing him as a dog of "uncertain breed," Ann Bausum wrote that: "The brindle-patterned pup probably owed at least some of his parentage to the evolving family of Boston Terriers, a breed so new that even its name was in flux: Boston Round Heads, American...and Boston Bull Terriers."[9][10] Stubby was found wandering the grounds of the Yale University campus in New Haven, Connecticut in July 1917, while members of the 102nd Infantry were training. He hung around as the men drilled and one soldier in particular, Corporal James Robert Conroy (1892-1987), developed a fondness for him.[4] When it came time for the outfit to ship out, Conroy hid Stubby on board the troop ship. As they were getting off the ship in France, he hid Stubby under his overcoat without detection.[11] Upon discovery by Conroy's commanding officer, Stubby saluted him as he had been trained to in camp, and the commanding officer allowed the dog to stay on board.[6
In his first year of battle, Stubby was injured by mustard gas. After he recovered, he returned with a specially designed gas mask to protect him.[12] Thus learning to warn his unit of poison gas attacks, locate wounded soldiers in no man's land, and—since he could hear the whine of incoming artillery shells before humans—became very adept of alerting his unit when to duck for cover. He was solely responsible for capturing a German spy in the Argonne, leading to their unit's Commander nominating Stubby for the rank of Sergeant.[6] Following the retaking of Château-Thierry by the US, women of the town made Stubby a chamois coat upon which his many medals were pinned. He was later injured again, in the chest and leg by a grenade. He ultimately had two wound stripes.[13] At the end of the war, Robert Conroy smuggled Stubby home.[6]

Patch kills his first raccoon. Last night I noticed what I first thought were ticks, but they were bloods clots from fangs.
This morning I found this a dead raccoon. that is patchs mother sitting next to the raccoon. Likely attracted to some of the persimmons that are on the ground in orchard.

Picture of Patch. a big headed, but unusually thin, large framed white English farm dog off of old Georgia stock.

This is another post as requested only a lot more detail.
As far back as Roman times, there were accounts of large Greyhound-like dogs in Ireland – called cú faoil in ancient Gaelic – revered for their size and ferocity. Some Irish chieftains and warriors even grafted the word cú onto their own names as an honorific, signifying that they were as venerable and loyal as the dogs themselves.
Like many Sighthounds of the time-misted past, ownership of these dogs was reserved for the high born. Over the centuries, they became coveted gifts to emperors and ambassadors, kings and cardinals, often arriving in ancient times in symbolic groups of seven, tied with silver chains.
In 391 AD, the Roman statesman Quintus Aurelius Symmachus wrote a letter of thanks to his brother for the gift of seven Irish hounds, noting that “all Rome viewed them in wonder.” And from two millennia ago comes the story of Ailbé, so famous that two kings vied to own him, one offering “three score hundred milch cows at once and a chariot with two horses and as much again at the end of the year.” When the bidding war escalated into an actual one, Ailbé literally lost his head after attacking one of the king’s chariots and seizing its axle. Even beheaded, he hung on.
As those ancient – and arguably a bit inflated – anecdotes show, these imposing Irish dogs were prized in battle. Guardians of property and livestock, they also hunted deer, elk, boar, and – as their modern name attests – wolves.
The Irish people “are not without wolves and greyhounds to hunt them, bigger of bone and limb than a colt,” wrote Edmund Campion in his “Historie of Ireland” in 1571. So popular were the dogs overseas that in 1652 Oliver Cromwell issued a declaration prohibiting their exportation.
The breed’s prowess in dispatching wolves and its unshakeable character are intertwined in the heart-rending story of Gelert, an Irish hound gifted to Llewellyn, the prince of Wales, by King John of England in 1210. Returning to his castle from a hunt in which Gelert was conspicuously absent, Llewellyn found the dog covered in blood, and his infant son’s cradle overturned and empty. Presuming Gelert had savaged the boy, Llewellyn plunged his sword into the dog’s side. As Gelert howled in his death throes, Llewellyn heard another source of wailing – his son, crawling out from under a pile of swaddling. Nearby was the dead wolf that had intended the same fate for the boy, but was pre-empted by the now-dying hound.
While some maintain that the story of Gelert was fabricated by an innkeeper who wanted to improve foot traffic, the veracity of the tale almost doesn’t matter. It embodies the strong and sentimental attachment that the Irish long had to their native hound.
But neither royal fiat nor flowery folklore could do much about the fate of Ireland’s ancient wolf dog. After the last wolf in Ireland reportedly met his end in 1786, the dogs themselves soon followed suit. By 1836, the breed was included on a list entitled “Notices of Animals which have disappeared from Ireland.”
A quarter-century later, in 1863, Captain George Augustus Graham decided to revive the Irish Wolfhound. Initially a Deerhound enthusiast, Graham acquired some dogs descended from those of fellow Scotsman H.D. Richardson, who decades earlier had scoured the Irish countryside for dogs purportedly descended from the surviving strains of old Irish hounds. Experts argue over whether these pedigree-less dogs had any connection to the famed wolf-dogs of yore, but regardless, they were not basis enough to build a breed. To augment his stock, Graham used Scottish Deerhounds and Great Dane crosses, which provided the size and especially heavy bone that the more ethereal Deerhounds lacked.
Graham also incorporated a bit of Borzoi blood, specifically that of “Korotai,” owned by the Duchess of Newcastle. There was a one-time cross to a Tibetan Mastiff named Wolf, which some believe was actually a rare Kyi Apso, a smaller, bearded version of those native Tibetan dogs; two of Wolf’s daughters, Vandal and Nookoo, are behind every Irish Wolfhound alive today. And a well-known Mastiff of the period, Garnier’s Lion, also made it into Wolfhound pedigrees through offspring he produced with a Scottish Deerhound named Lufra.
Even if he believed that the dogs he was breeding had a connection, however tenuous, to the old Irish hound, Graham acknowledged they lacked the “original integrity” of their forebears. To illustrate the goal he was breeding toward, Graham commissioned a local artist to paint a life-size cardboard model of his ideal Irish Wolfhound. Painted gray, it measured 35 inches at the shoulder, with a girth that Graham estimated at some 42 inches and a weight of 140 pounds.
“It presents to the vision a most striking and remarkable animal of a very majestic and beautiful appearance,” Graham mused with satisfaction, “far, far beyond any dog the writer has ever seen.”
The model has long since been scrapped, but a photograph of Graham posing with it survives. The two-dimensional dog looks for all the world like a modern Irish Wolfhound, with the requisite mass and substance, but still retaining its flowing, Greyhound-like lines – an important point to remember in a breed where the emphasis is sometimes placed exclusively on sheer size.
Graham himself was wary of putting such a premium on size that it eclipsed all else. “An all-round sound dog of medium height is far preferable to an overgrown badly-shaped, crooked-legged giant; for size, though most important, cannot in any way make up for unsoundness,” he wrote in the “Kennel Encyclopaedia” in 1907.
During Graham’s time, dogs could be shown even if their breed was not officially recognized by the kennel club. Irish Wolfhounds bowed in 1879 at a dog show in Dublin, then again in 1881 in England, where they were registered under “Foreign Breeds.” Demonstrating the fluidity of the situation in the breed’s early years, some of those first Irish Wolfhounds had previously been exhibited as Deerhounds, or had littermates that were.

He ain't historic, but he's mine, and he loves coyote hunting. We go back home every winter to hunt coyotes for two months and he looks forward to it as much as I.

Coyote hunting on the great plains.
greyhounds and greyhound cross breeds are generally used.

Photographs in the new book, To See Them Run, offers a glimpse into the Great Plains culture around coyote coursing: a sport that involves athletic hounds trained to run down coyotes. Along with images by Scott Squire, the book includes vignettes of the collection's main characters by writer Eric Eliason.


The sport, writes Eliason, is “an uncommercialized and never-before-studied vernacular tradition.” Although coyote hunting is widespread across the country, coursing, a subset of hunting, is relatively uncommon.


Many states allow coursing and offer bounties — in Utah it's $50 — for each coyote carcass. Coyote hunting contests are held in several Western states, including New Mexico, Idaho and Montana. In 2014, California became the first state to ban coyote killing contests, which sometimes includes coursing.


Opponents of coursing say the practice perpetuates unnecessary cruelty and wildlife abuse and isn’t effective in population control. Yet proponents of the sport say it helps tamp down coyote populations and protect livestock. Available science is spotty and backs up neither in a convincing way, as High Country News reported in a February 2016 story on Wildlife Services.


In To See Them Run, no photo shows the end of the hunt, when the greyhounds catch their prey, side-stepping the controversy entirely. In the end, that’s what is most unsettling about Eliason’s book, which keeps the gore of an otherwise bloody sport out of view. The book provides a unique perspective on the culture to a familiar reader, but for the reader that comes to Eliason’s collection to better understand the sport, it will leave them wanting. — Paige Blankenbuehler
