question to the breeders

I had always wanted to get a yard going. When I was young my granddad to me to get a dog from the bulldog family b/c of their no quit attitude. He had boxers back in the 40s b/c he said they were the closest thing to the old bulldog. When I was around 11 or 12 I started going to the library to read dog books. I came across the old dog world mags and read the ads b/c of all the rare breeds. That's when I saw the abs, both the bully JDJ and the standard. When i saw them (standards) I realized that they were closer to the old bulldog than the boxer. I called both John D and Joe P. After speaking to both of them I decided Joe had the more realistic view and I wanted dogs like the ones he had. I didn't have enough money since I was a kid with a job cutting grass so I made a vow I would get some like those when I got old enough. The conversation Joe and I had back then directly influenced what got. I had the chance to meet him in person after I got my dogs and got his opinion on them. I even helped his old partner Mike get females to use to breed to his male he got from Joes son. He took my advice on what females to get. Joe wasn't involved as much as I thought he was going to be but I was glad I was able to work with the guy who put me on the right track to get a program started.
