My husband and I did a little research on Am. Bullies.
Before I start, I want to say a couple of things.
1. We are NOT looking for another dog ATM. It will be YEARS before we want another dog!
2. I don't want this thread to turn into a big bashing.
3. This is just to satisfy my curiosity.
So, we were looking at random sites about Bullies (there are several breeders nearby) and he pops off with, "I think I would like to have one one day."
I had to make him repeat himself, because I was shocked, lol. He has always wanted these breeds:
English Bulldog
German Shepherd
Doberman Pinscher
ABPT
Great Pyrenees
So a Bully is so not something I expected to hear was on his "want" list. Josh is not one of those "gangsta" or "Punk" types that wants a dog to make him look tough. He just genuinely likes the look of the breeds on that^ list. I personally think that Bullies look "overdone". Obviously, they aren't high on my "want list". I prefer a more graceful appearance.
SO, without realizing it, I've turned this into a novel. Ugh. Sorry!
One more point-- my dogs aren't going to be shown, or anything.. they are companions for our family. I mean, yes, both of my current dogs are purebreds, but I would have been just as happy with a mutt from the shelter, to be honest.
So what ARE the merits of having a Bully for a pet? Again-- not looking for bashing or anything. Just wondering what ya'll think of it.
