Ah, what made you decide to make the leap into EBs Kevin? Biggie is for darn sure a great lookin' bulldog. From what I see very good conformation! I have a senior citizen EB on the home front out here named Mabel. She's sweet as all get out and ALL bulldog! lol I love mabel and think EBs are cute, but now that I've had the opportunity to live with one for the last few years especially as a senior citizen... I don't think I would ever get another one for a quite a few reasons.
I cannot get around the fact that they were bred for humans selfishness. Now, don't get me wrong... I ain't no PETA type in any fashion but I cannot respect anyone who is involved in creating an animal that cannot turn around and scratch it's own butt, it's a gamble on whether or not they can swim (luckily mabel is a swimmer), and you have daily chores that involve wiping butt and folds to prevent any sort of dermatitis, entropion as a result for breeding for those plush faces which will over time cause premature blindness (Mabel is almost completely blind and listens to our foot steps as a guide around the house). The more and more I spend time with my mabel the more i think the breed itself is cruel to put so much heart and independence into a body which is so limited it's crippling.
