Description |
FUNCTION: All around working dog. Excels in guard duties and protection. A great
family companion.
APPEARANCE: Medium to medium-large size dog, powerfully built and showing
tremendous strength. The dog should be alert, with a symmetrical
well-proportioned body. The dog should look very athletic while remaining bully.
The dog is confident and looks always on the ready.
HEAD: The head should be massive on males and large on females, in proportion to
the body. Deeply sunken between the eyes, extending up the forehead. The
wrinkles on the head should be moderate. Jaw muscles large. Lower jaw should be
even or slightly protruding. Bite squared, undershot should be minimal if any.
Eyes low and should be set wide. Forehead flat. Muzzle short, broad, and deep
(of square like appearance). Flews semi-pendulous. Ears may be either rose or
button and should be set high and wide. Dewlap will have two folds.
*Note: Blue eyes are acceptable but not preferred.
BODY: Neck should be short and nearly wide as the head (Bull Neck- thick and
well muscled). Shoulders very broad and muscular. Front legs straight or
slightly bowed. Ribs well rounded. Chest wide (should be pumped forward when the
dog is on the ready). Back short and strong. Belly well tucked up. Thighs very
muscular. Rear legs neither pigeon-toed or cow hocked, well muscled.
COAT: Short, close and medium fine.
COLOR: All color variations
Red tiger brindle has been the prefer color of current Titan Bull-Dogge owners
TAIL: May have a natural or a docked tail, with no preference given to either.
The natural tail is very thick at the base, and tapers to a point. The tail is
set low. A "pump handle" tail is preferred but any tail carriage from upright,
when the dog is excited; to relaxed between the hocks is acceptable.
Serious fault: Tail curled over the back; corkscrew tail; upright tail when the
dog is relaxed.
GAIT: Fluent movement is of the highest concern. The dog should have a smooth,
strong glide.
NOTE: Male animals should have two apparently normal testicles fully descended
into the scrotum.
PENALTY: Any deviation from the approved A.S.W.R.B. Standard should be penalized
to the extend of the fault up to disqualification. |
|
Temperament |
The
animal should be self-assured, outgoing, and should show a natural ability to
protect owner and property. The dog, because of its function should be aloof of
strangers to a point of analyzing the situation and not to the point of
aggression. The dog should be at peace with those that are accepted into the
master’s circle. A family member that loves children and will not hesitate to
protect, it gets along with other pets. This breed is not generally dog
aggressive. Needs a strong, firm, consistent, confident pack leader who can keep him in this rightful place, below all humans in the alpha order. |

Origin |
The Titan Bull-Dogge / Perro Buldoge Titan (TB)
is not a re-creation, but a creation that came about from years of breeding
program studies, breeding education, and selective development. The Titan Bull-Dogge
/ Perro Buldoge Titan was created on a very strong believe that a dog should
have function as well as a balanced appearance. The development of the Titan Dog
started in theory in 1991. After extensive research, Hector “Nino” Morales and a
group of breeders from the Buffalo, NY area put the program planning into
effect. The first steps of selecting the foundation dogs that would go into the
Titan Bull-Dogge / Perro Buldoge Titan breed begin in 1994-1995. After
discussing the potential breeds, the decision was made to go with four great
breeds. Below you will find the four foundation dog types that went into the
Titan Bull-Dogge and the particular reason the breed was chosen. Percentages
will not be disclosed.
1)
Olde World Style Bulldogge: This dog
type was used for its bully-ness, bone, and overall strength.
2)
American Bulldog: This dog type was
use for its power and workability.
3)
American Staffordshire Terrier: This
dog type was used for its muscularity, agility, gracefulness, and its alertness.
4)
Staffordshire Bull Terrier: This dog
type was used for its jumping ability, quickness, agility, and stockiness.
Today, we believe that the combination of these
breeds in conjunction with the selected percentages have given us the desire
attributes we intended to have when research began in 1991. After years of
selective breeding and a large amount of consistency, Hector “Nino” Morales and
the group of dedicated breeders that were such a big part of the creation of the
TB put a written standard together. When necessary a limited amount of
outcrossing has been done, and will continue to be done to assure the continued
health, temperament, and workability of the Titan Bull-Dogge. Puppies from these
breedings will be registered through the American Society of Rare & Working
Breeds as Titan Bull-Dogge Program Outcrosses, and will contribute to the
positive development of the Titan Bull-Dogge.
The Titan program is in early stages compared to
other bulldogge programs, but much planning, time, effort, and dedication have
gone into the program. All the dogs that were used originally as foundation dogs
were X-rayed and tested for genetic issues to assure a healthy beginning to this
program. Through a very strict process of selective breeding we are today
accomplishing what we set out to do all along, to put forward a program that in
time will create a dog worthy of the chosen name Titan Bull-Dogge. We have come
a long way but this is just the beginning.
The current
registry for the Titan Bull-Dogge is the American Society of Rare & Working
Breeds. If you hear of a Titan Bull-Dogge registered with another organization,
this dog is not a Titan Bull-Dogge as the Hector "Nino" Morales and family have
copyright and trademarked ownership of the chosen breed name. |
