I agree with the Mrs, I'll also say that no dog of any breed should be left unattended with a child.
Just to so in clear..I'm talking bout game bred pits we know that's different story.
I'm talking bout the average out that little johnny picks up from the pound.
Ill cull them because I'm raising hog dogs not dog fighting stock.
The majority of people hunters and non hunters have bulldogs.
I live in the city and people walk there dogs on side walk in front of my house and 6 out of 10 are bulldogs
I understand where you are coming from...I just see it a little different.
I know the pound is a popular place for some to find a "bulldog" (something else I can't quite understand). I can't agree that the majority of people have bulldogs, simply because there's no way to prove that it is a fact. How do you know that 60% of those dogs walking in front of your house are bulldogs?
Mind explaining a bit about what I have hi-lighted? Some people (including myself) don't care to wait over a year to raise cd pups, I do have one now that I am raising but I normally don't raise them, I pick em up already grown for next to nothing. The CD I have been using for almost 2 years now was found wandering down the side of the road in a not so good part of town and passed along to me, she has ended up being a GREAT dog in every aspect, had I not given her the chance we would have missed out on one of the best mannered dogs we own. I have owned more than a couple cd's I got from the pound and never had a problem with em, I guess it goes back to some people being on the other side of the pet/ hunting tool line than myself........ if I want a house dog/ pet I would buy and raise a lab puppy.
I personally have had great luck with pound bulldogs, some dogs just need a second chance.... I can honestly say that out of all bulldogs that have come into my possession as grown dogs only 1 has not made the grade and his problem had nothing to do with fighting other dogs, he just simply didn't care to catch a hog. For what I use a cd for I don't need to go through months and months of training, I simply need to make sure that he is good around people, is going to go to the bay from 40-80yds, catch and hold the hog and only the hog and not act a fool, thats about it. You would be surprised how well some of these dogs have worked for us. At one time myself and my main hunting buddy had 2 uncut male bulldogs that would follow us on horseback and would go to a bay on command, we caught TONS of hogs with those two dogs and never had so much as 1 altercation with them and and other dogs.....care to guess where they both came from? Not trying to start an arguement at all, I would just like to know why you are against pound dogs. I know of a more than a onet pretty well known and respected hoghunter / dogman that does it the same way and have for years and years with success.
