Heck fellas a bulldog is a bulldog, papers, looks, conformation blah blah blah dont mean anything. The only thing that matters is if it will catch and stay hooked.
Big Ben I agree with your thinking if you are looking for 1 good dog and you are buying a dog that is proven to catch. However if you were looking to breed better dogs or buy a small unproven pup then I would have to agree with Sportsman. I would buy a pup from a well bred line of dogs. I am not a bulldog man so I wouldn't pay the money for a well bred pit but I would for the well bred proven strike dog/pup...
