Well I have to chime in a bit. I worked for a vet 15 years ago and I did see a lot of English bulls get put down for hip issues, but I do like the look of the breed. But if you really want a cool dog go with a german shorthair pointer. They are by far the smartest dogs I have owned, I have two right now. They are great with kids and family, will protect anything when needed, and will hunt with me all day if I choose to run them that long. Training these things to hunt and hold a point can be done by just about anyone, as my 10 year old trained one if my dogs when I was working a second job. Now, thanks to these awesome dogs, my second job is running guided upland hunts with them. I get so much joy out of seeing a pointer running at full speed and then stop on a dime at a hard point.
