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

No the breed isnt bad. Owners are somewhat to blame, but mainly its the breeders. People who dont know what they are doing or are doing it for the wrong reasons and not breeding stable, up to standard mentally dogs.
Thats where a lot of the Human Aggressiveness comes from, you cant train in or beat in truly Human Aggressiveness.
You cant really make a dog into something that isnt already somewhat there genetically ya know? But with anything there are some animals that are just born, not right. Then its up to the owner to put the dog to sleep and/or keep it contained but there will always be the one person who thinks leaving it loose in the yard is a good idea. *shrugs* Thats why you have to be very careful on what you breed, because you never know who will end up with the dog and how it is treated or contained.

I am sorry your puppy was stolen I would advise against breeding him again though, there are already a lot of puppies out there who need homes and you arent going to keep all the puppies, and you cant control how many people who get your puppies will breed them, and you could be unknowingly producing more and more "pit bull" puppies who will end up in shelters and what not.

My dog is intact and he will never be bred, even though he is an amazing dog and a great looking dog, mainly because I cannot control what happens to the puppies once they leave me. I cant tell them what to do to keep the dog and the breed reputation safe, and I cant tell them they shouldnt breed the dog X amount of times, I just dont want to contribute to more "pit bull" puppies out there in the world. I mean my dog was one of those unwanted backyard bred dogs who's dam needed to be rescued due to neglect and couldnt be taken to a shelter because they were going to spay/abort/possibly just euth. her because there were just so many "pit bulls" already in the shelter as it was.

I dont mean to preach, because he is YOUR dog and YOU as an owner are allowed to do as you please with your property, I just hope you really think before you breed him again. Maybe make people who take the puppies sign a spay/neuter contract so the puppies will all be fixed?

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

Yeah...I have been very lucky. She is in excellent health....no allergies, no hip problems, etc... The only think she needed was entropian surgery on both eyes...which wasn't so bad. I got her from an English Bulldog rescue, but she originally came from a breeder in Costa Rica. Perhaps that is why she hasn't had many health problems....she didn't come from a US bloodline....which can be somewhat inbred.

people will always blame an "Animal" before themselves. With that said ive been a die hard bully owner an fiend since i was a little kid. All the bullys ive owned throughout my life have been rescues. People are always afraid of the way my dogs look but then meet them an beg me to take them home. My bullys are far from game dogs being backyard bred muts but there personalitys are to die for. Im proud to say that ive been able to have the pleasure of growing up around these animals an they will remain in my life till the day I die. Bully Bred ova everything

Welcome to the forum! Bear is gorgeous! Lovely pics of him, he looks so happy and well taken care of. Long before I got my wolfdog, Kira, my nephew had a bully mix that he had stay with me for a while. His name was Tiny, because he was the smallest pup out of the litter....but he definitely grew up to be a big boy. You couldn't have found a more friendly, happy, people-oriented dog and I can honestly say he was a real pleasure to have around. Here are a couple of pics of him:





Anyway, enjoy your stay here and I look forward to seeing pics of your first snakie...and maybe even some of your geckos.

Thats awesome! I may have to tell my friend who is looking for an EB in a few years to check with people outside the country, that does seem to be the key. Most dogs that are show bred in the US tend to be full of health issues.

And thats the way it shoudl always be! A bully breed dog should ALWAYS be in top form mentally and personality wise, otherwise they are doing a disservice to the breed reputation as a whole.
Game dog or mutt dog, they all should be safe, well rounded, balanced bulldogs.

Thank you
