[QUOTE="get2choppaaa, post: 1467859, member: 17150"] American Bulldog. Best dog's ive ever owned or been around. (Ive had golden retrievers, standard poodles, weimeraners, a rodesian ridgeback/hound mix) I grew up with a buddy who bred them. a lot of folks dont know anything about em and think they're some weird English bulldog thing. I've currently got a MONSTER of a dog who is 7.5 months old and 100 lbs (will be 130-140 at this rate) There are two cariants. Scott Dogs (between 75-95 lbs and generally built like what people think are a pitbull bred for catch dogs in hog hunting) and Johnson Dogs (Massive more like 110-130 lbs bred more for size/power/sled pulling). Then there are hybrids. My boy is a hybrid. Tough. Loyal. Bred to fight hogs and protect but are one of the original ranch dogs in the south. They are very good with the kids (I've got 5 boys ranging between 11 and 3) and are generally pretty good with small aninals if properly socialized (I have also a small rat dog that he plays with) I live in a mostly ethnic POC neighborhood. I make a point to walk my dog as much as possible so that the neighbors see the big dog before they think about stoping by to case my stuff. Temperment is very sweet to the family, a little on the needy side as a puppy as far as attention, but this dog is a tank and a half and super protective of my wife. 1 CAVEAT: you need to know how to properly train a dog of this size/caliber. I spent every day with him during the first 4 months (got him on election day when we were still working at home due to RONA) and the rest of the time he is kenneled or with the Mrs.... They need a lot of work first couple weeks/months then easy to work with after that. The critical window with any dog is the first 16 weeks or so.
