BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

[HeritageGoose13]

American Bulldogs are very agile dogs. It depends on type, and the johnson type of today couldn't catch a bull regardless of how strong they are. The Scott type or Old SOuthern White are very agile dogs that fit the old "catch" type farm dogs.

I'm actually looking at getting a well bred working scott type for our all around farm dog. Guard the family and flock with his life, but could catch a couple young bulls here and there or me to.

Your pic, to me that is flat out pit/rott cross. No tan needed, it is very visible. I mostly deal with labs and pointing dogs, but dogs in general I can read well.

Just a great looking dog all around regardless.

I like American Bulldogs. I was talking about American Bullys. They're a new breed, often crossed with pitbulls. Actually they look like pits crossed with English bulldogs. The dog in question reminded me a little of them, but with better proportions.

Based upon the writing, the dogs in the top picture seem to be the forerunners of the Bouvier de Flanders...another good working/herding dog.

The Bouvier is furry and black. Like a Black Russian terrier.

The Bouvier is another breed that I am interested in for a guardian of flock and home.

American Bulldogs are an old breed that goes back to the Old english bulldogs. Not those little English things of today. No Pitt should be used at all, they are separate breeds. Purebred American Bulldogs are the strongest dog pound for pound, and have a very high pain tolerance. They love people and anything within their territory. Used for many years in the USA as working farm dogs. Mostly as guardians and catch dogs.

I know that. I'm saying "American Bullies" are a completely different breed of dog. Look them up. They have nothing to do with American Bulldogs, they just have similar names.

Ok I'll do that. It seems to me though that "american Bullies" are a mutt and not a breed. Never heard of them.

I just assumed that meant American Bulldog, cause bully is the short.

They're getting popular now. A lot of people give them tons of vitamin supplements to make them look tough, but really it makes them look deformed with odd proportions. Without all that added stuff they seem like okay dogs.

All it takes is socialization and training to negate the likelihood of dog to dog aggression, actually not much more than any other strong breed. (Trust me on that one, I used to retrain ex-fighting pits so they would be safe in homes). Now, once they already have it as a habit, it's insanely hard to stop it, but even that can be done with a bit (a lot) of patience. Preventing is easier than fixing

There are also 'Salt and Pepper' Bouviers... Not certain but I think they were first before a lot of reisenschnauzer was incorporated into the batch.

Hell, what am I thinking...'Salt and Pepper' is a common color in the Reisenschnauzer breed...

All in the family...

Wow, that's really cool. Could you tell me how you did it in more detail? Send me a PM though, I don't want to get this thread too off-topic.

True. They seem to be the rare type today, but I do remember reading about them in my internet searches. I assumed brown from those pics, but black and white is hard to tell.
