Crazy, I'm sitting here at the pc while this thread gets bumped, and my choc lab goes to the door to be let out. Thing is, it's friggen' pouring. This dog, he goes outside and leaks on his favorite marsh grass, and just sniffs around looking for a place for no. 2. Just walking around like it's a sunny summer day. It's like he doesn't even know it's raining. It's been 5 min. and he hasn't come back to the door yet.

Yeah, he'll smell real good when he comes in. Nothing like the smell of wet water dog in the afternoon.

awesome, i was just looking at bulldogs recently.  you get her from a pound or buy her from a breeder?

[PhillyPhanInDC]

We're getting her from a breeder just about an hour from Reading. I'm not into spending huge dollars on a dog, especially hunting or working dogs, as I don't generally "work" the dogs, although generally, I train them to do what they are bread for, just not competition. This dog will probably be my first go at Shutzhund training. After finding this breeder through a friend, she said she generally picks two pups from the litter to be family dogs, as they generally don't have as much prey drive as some of the other's in the litter as such, it's a pretty cheap purchase.

Here are a couple relatives:


I've already had some people at work think (from the puppy picks alone) that the dog is a pit-bull, and therefore bloodthirsty and insane. ABs have zero in common will Pits.

Nice nipples.

She's an American Bulldog.

That is the exact dog I want when my current one finally kicks it.  Wife and middle boy want a little lapdog that's fuzzy (no, he's not a homo. He had his face chewed off by a Sheppard a number of years ago).  I need to convince them otherwise.

Tell your boy to rub some dirt on it and tighten up. My little sister burnt her face off years ago while drinking a flaming shot. Didn't stop her from drinking. Or lighting shtein on fire.

hot

American Bulldogs are one of the top ranked breeds in terms of temperament, and are ridiculously good with children. Another positive is they are extremely aggressive towards minorities and farging squirrels.
