I hear ya bud,
I have a puppy, always loved bulldoggs, but their health issues kinda made me feel sick, why breed a dog that cant breath? or cant stand to be
in the sun for a reasonable period of time?
I also thought about the staffordshire bull terrior, but it seems all the thugs round here have them on a lead.
I ended up going for whats called a Dorset Olde Tyme Bulldogge, this is a bulldog of old, how they were 100 years ago before they started to
breed it with the pug.
There is all kinds in the mix with the olde Tyme, but essentially you have a much healthier, fitter heavier dog, mine however has 25% mixed Mastiff
in him too, this should keep the line going in the direction they want.
Infact mine was the only pup that did not have the "smashed in the face" look, he has a more elegant mastiff looking head.
He should end up smilar to the American Bulldog type breed but not as heavy....30-42kgs is where he should fall into.
He's 14 weeks now, but underweight, he needs another few Kgs on him yet but weighs 9.2kgs today.
I had an encounter today, from some hoodie scum smoking a spliff, covered in a rash and scratches, blood shot eyes and
obviously high.......he was in a bus stop waiting for a lift, he stopped me as I was walking Cody my Pup, he asked the usual
"Ere maaate is that a Staff?
Erm.......No its not.
Aaaah maaate looks wicked, waz E Much dosh?"
No. (I lied)
"I add wun of dem American Bulldog fukkas, was a monsta, we fed him raw meat so blood would drip down his chin, would
av Alsations and labs, and staffs, would tear em apart, we used him in dog fights, me mate got him to bite once an it
bit his shoulder, ripped a monsta chunk off him, and chomped it down, so me mate pulled out a gun and shot it dead,
I woz like.......Oh well.......means I dont av to put the f****er down now hehehe"
I was stood there thinking..........is this really happening?, he just told me he uses his dog in dog fights, and his friend shot
it with a handgun!?
WTF?!
I just made my excuses and left, I just cant believe some tool would say something like that to an obvious dog lover walking
his 12 week old puppy, it also offends me that he felt he could relate to me!
I need to change my image if scum like that think I'm on the same level, or maybe the drugs elevated him to working class?
Personally I hope his trigger happy friend trips and blows them both through the head.
