Curious what others experience is with dogs as pets and working dogs...
Ive has a lot of different dog breeds growing up, with my folks having golden retrievers, standard poodles, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, ,and a couple of Weimaraners.
I also had a best friend who ran a American Bulldog Kennel... And fell in love with the breed and that's what I've got now.
My stud dog has grown up with all the kids, and is a little over 150 lbs...and a total unit. Super sweet dog and eager to please...he actually serves as the chicken herding dog (unlike my blue healer mix which we can't trust with the birds)
I kept 2 puppies from the last litter.... Had to get rid of the female I bred my stud to... (she was a rescue dog that had a good pedigree but then she bit me and with a boatload of kids here she had to go.) I'll be getting another female this year so I can breed the dogs again in a couple of years.
I saw that the UK just passed a new law that would outlaw Bully XLs (not what I have... But they are classifying all dogs with similar characteristics as the same breed)... And sending them all to Scotland... Which is quite funny.
