Bill George (dog dealer)

Bill George (1802–1881) was a Victorian era dog dealer and well-known character in London, England.
==Early life==

George's first job was as a butcher's boy. A bareknuckle prizefighter, he later became an apprentice to Ben White of 'May Tree Cottage', Kensal New Town, a dealer of Old English Bulldogs, the ancestral breed of Bulldog used for dog fighting.〔''The Mastiff and Bullmastiff Handbook'', D.B.Oliff, 1988. The Boswell Press.〕 Kensal New Town was a rough working class area with many Irish immigrants and the scene of Protestant-Catholic conflicts.〔http://www.historytalk.org/Notting%20Hill%20History%20Timeline/timelinechap3.pdf〕 He was indirectly part of an incident in 1825, sponsored by Sam Wedgbury, who had bought a dog from White, and a menagerie owner called George Wombwell, involving lion-baiting by Bulldogs. George is said to have unsuccessfully attempted to dissuade the participants from continuing in this bloody enterprise. The outcome was that one of the lions was injured and several dogs were killed, leading to public outrage and a local ordinance banning the use of dogs for fighting.〔()〕 The practice continued in secret, however, and White's kennels remained in operation, with George continuing to work for him.
