i have to disagree with you merle, not all bullxs feet will spread as you stated. i for one own a halfx bullgreyhound witch is some lump of a dog i can asure you hes got feet like a cat, a dog thats bred well and well worked and exsersized should have good feet. heres a picture of my dogs feet, dont look wide open and spread to me? and hes a 65lb dog
