American Bulldogs??

The discussion here seems to be revolving around the Scott and Johnson bull dogs so Ill try to keep my comments in line with that theme.....

I feel it is obvious that the Scott TYPE is both bred, and proves superior in the woods, as a working dog due to its physical structure. That being said, no matter the breeding, the TYPE is what matters. A dog does not have to be Scott bred to be a performance dog, regardless of the breeding, it will have to exhibit those physical characteristics, such as a longer nose, balanced body, muscle to weight ratio, deep chest, well sprung ribs etc., to preform.

Johnsons may throw a good performance catch dog some times and Scotts may throw an overweight short nosed future heat stroke on occasion. (granted that each would call such an occurrence a CULL)

I guess that my point is that each dog should be judged on its own merit regardless of that law of averages and regardless of its breeding. That applies to all catch dogs, not just those two breeders.
