Well no good news as far as this new dogs background, as Mr. Paul harvey used to say "and now the rest of the story". So I spoke with the man I got him from again, he tried calling the fella a couple times with no luck so the next day while he was out and about he swung by to where the previous owner lived and there were already new people moved into the house. My buddy didn't know the owner other than bs'n with him around town so when he saw that the guy no longer lived there he made a few calls to people the he knew were acquaintances with the guy, apparently he was in a bit of trouble and gettin out of dodge before he got hemmed up. The local dog catcher picked the dog up and called the fella before he left, he told the dog catcher to do whatever he needed to do with the dog.......pretty chitty deal for the dog but luckily he was spared and now is owned by me.....i'll probly never know his true background, I would have liked to kow just to see if he did go back to any of ya'lls dogs but o well, such is life, he will get a shot (one way or another
) the same as any other bulldog i've ever owned.
