Thank ya lol can you tell I rant about it a lot

Guessing no one here yet has any sort of bully breed?

I have an English Bulldog, Molly. She turns 8 years old in July. Here she is....



I tried to adopt a Pitbull from a shelter a year ago, but Molly was having none of it. She was too aggressive....I felt soooooo bad! She is the sweetest dog to people, but is aggressive towards most other dogs.

Lol I didnt even know he had an account, tell him to quit being a wussy face!

Happy Bear pictures very cute! He looks a bit thin to me

Thank you! Lol no, he is far from to thin. If he was to thin he would be starved and if he was starved he wouldnt have all that muscle on him, because when a dog is starved (like any animal) the first thing that goes is the muscle mass.

Here let me show you-

Overweight bully breed dog - what most people think is "healthy" is actually not at all.




Now here, this is a conditioned proper weight bully breed dog - what is actually healthy, no extra fat and lean muscle mass.




Now lastly, this is an emaciated dog, not healthy at all, no fat at all and lost all muscle mass due to starvation.




Hope that shows you a little bit of proper weight and body shape and muscle mass for these dogs. You have to remember, they are a working breed and as with any dog or human, extra weight and fat is never good and causes a lot of health issues. Fat is not happy.
Most people in this country, and others, dont really know what a fit and healthy dog looks like. We are so exposed to us being obese that its just natural that our pets look the part too.

I hope you see that he isnt thin at all and is in a great fit shape. Also, another thing involving dogs and proper body weight, a good rule of thumb is they should have a proper and nice tight tuck in their belly, it should go up under the dog and not go straight across from the bottom on the rib cage, its commonly called an "up tuck" for this reason.
This dog has zero tuck and its chest looks to go straight from the front all the way to his rear leg, a straight line from end of rib cage to hind leg means you have a fat dog


See how this dog has a tuck, where the gut area is up and the rib cage slopes up into the tuck and isnt a straight line to the hind leg


Okay I am done lol again, Rambles McGee here!

She is quite old for an EB! I hear they have lots of health issues and die young, but seems like she isnt the norm!
Dont feel bad! She is a bulldog, as are Pit Bulls and the majority of other bully breeds, they are genetically predisposed to being dog aggressive. Its perfectly normal and she is acting normal for her breed

I like him! He is a very cute dog
Just an FYI, Razor's Edge isnt an Pit Bull bloodline, its actually an American Bully bloodline and was created by a guy named Dave Wilson, he wanted a more compact, less dog aggressive, more "vanity" and "pet only" dog breed, so he cross bred the American Pit Bull Terrier and the American Staffordshire Terrier for 15-20 years until he ended up with the American Bully, the dogs he called Razor's Edge.
All the RE dogs I have met (that are decently bred) are great family pets, usually pretty laid back and mellow, much less drivey than an game bred or pure APBT and superb family dogs.

Oh I LOL'd like no ones business when I saw you edited out his lipstick!

I dont know how I missed this one!

I would be very very particular in where you get your EB from. Remember, higher price tag DOES NOT equal better quality or healthier dog.

If I was going to get something along the traditional bulldog lines I would go with an Olde English Bulldogge. They are usually much healthier and long lived, but its your choice and if your strict on the standards and health testing I am sure you could find a great EB with limited issues.

Just be careful, the show world has really messed up a lot of breeds and the EB is one of the worst.

i have had him since the day he was born 6yrs ago never showed agression toward me and is very friendly with kids and good guard dog he alerted me of a guy trying to break in my home. and he's so better looking than other dogs in my neighborhood that he's been stolen once. i bred him and i would say his blood line is very dominant since all his pups come out more like him than the mother and they were also some smart pups picked up comands pretty quick compared to other pups ive tried to train.

and about his lipstick im sure nobody wants to see lol had to censor it out

Good! Thats the way an American Bully/Pit Bull type should be! Sickens me that people hate on them when the majority are awesome family pets and better dogs than (imo) any other breed could ever hope to be
I am not to big on people breeding dogs unless they are registered with a reputable registry and are of a pure bloodline and have been found worthy of being bred (shows, weight pull, dock diving, agility, schutz, etc) and have been health tested and are doing it to better the breed, but I wont go off into that lol

He is a fine looking animal and if more RE dogs looked like him it would be awesome!

[M&H]

I have an American Staffordshire Terrier. Best dog ever. She is super sweet and honestly the best dog I have ever known. She lets my daughter walk her around the house with a leash on, tugging her around. She also thinks she is a 10 pound lap dog. Makes me laugh when people are concerned about her temperament and the fact that she is a bully breed.

Welcome to the forums!

Oh wow she is a cutie! I love that little black dog, Schnauzer? I dig that pattern on her and her little eyeliner!
I laugh so hard when people get worried about my dogs temperament and how unsafe he is, then you see them and their perfect family dog.
My DANGEROUS Pit Bull is sitting and staying right next to me with a slack lead, and their amazing perfect family dog is barking and spitting and flipping around on the end of their lead not listening and wanting to go after me and my dog. Who's dog is the dangerous one now? lol

Bear has changed more peoples minds about the Pit Bull types than I can count. People who were "Oh my Gawd a PIT BOOL is moving into the neighborhood!! HIDE YER KIDZ!" now say "Hi Bear" to him and dont even acknowledge me at all lol most times it takes a calm owner and a well trained dog to change just about anyone's mind of the "all will snap and attack" mentality.

Thank you for the welcome! I think I am going to post some of my Leo's in a few, or tomorrow for ya'll to look at

You all are a very friendly forum bunch!

well most people dont know that it's not the breed that is bad but the owners that make their dogs into those bad dogs everyone talks about. every dog no matter what breed they are will act how the owner raised them to be. as for me breeding i dont do it alot ive only breed him twice in his 6yrs of age to other noticiable bullies as im very very picky on who i breed him to other than that if he breeds again it will just to have one of his offspring. sadly enough the puppy i had from him was stolen from me last year
