AMERICAN BULL DOG

[Tiny 7 1,694]

That's all Strong Stuff gear mate.

 

Hedz If only you knew I could ahow you a few pics that would change your mind pretty quick lol He's chewed many a tyre and is devastating on traffic cones. But for the majority of them in the UK that don't really represent the real working AB then I'd agree with you that they are good for mostly nothing.

Your's to be fair is 1 very tidy animal mate and a credit to you he is in great condition i saw a few tried when they first became popular and they were all jacker's and since then i think they have become worse as they have became more popular

 

 

Most if not all iv seen werent worth a carrot...

 

 

But J1985 Thats looks a nice type a nice sort

never seen abd working in this country-but have seen a few good presa dogs doing abit-impressed me-but my view is you are limited to what you can do with them,you could do alot more with a bull/wheaton x.not slating anyman that does work em-good on you-i like any dog that will work wether its bushing,lamping,digging,watching holes,guarding .atb mate

Back in the mid 90,s i was tempted to bring a few of those over as i had some decent contacts over there back then......couldnt justify doing it and so never did if i remember right those Alan Scott ones were like the Rolls Royce of the breed workwise and the Johnson ones were big useless man scarers......never liked the dogs myself and cant see what use they would be over here but like anything else fashion tends to dictate how popular dog breeds get....

Must admit thats a good looking dog j1985 they certainly look a better all round animal the smaller ones like that i know them Scott ones tended to be smaller anyway....not my cuppa tea but always nice to see a good representative of its breed regardless what it is.

j1985 -take my hat of to you mate that dog is in amazing condition-not like most of the shite i see being walked by the hoodie crews around by me.credit to you.

[j1985 1,984]

Cheers lads, he's a good dog!

 

Gnasher - Scott was ok but if your after tried and tests hogdogs old school Hines/Stout/Dorsey/Joshua is the direction I'd go. Alan Scott is a peddler who makes a living from his name early on with the AB's. I wouldn't own a Johnson if you payed me, English bulldog x st Bernard x mastiff x boxer x American bulldog if your lucky is what they are lol make ok guard/deterrents though.

mate of mine has 11 abd , he used to do site security with them , he has both scott and jhonston breeds , he has too many i think but he wont have it , he does breed them but strugles to get what he wants for them , i think his last litter went for around the £250 a pup mark , he keeps them in great condition , but like has been said not much call for one unless your doing security , nice looking dogs that have been shown by the way

Like any big bull breed your limited to what you can do but there is still plenty you can do if you get a normal sized one from healthy/tested stock. I can take mine out on the lamp, granted he's bonkers and has no off switch and drags me everywhere even trying to eat the beam but believe he's quick, obviously never a lurcher but has surprised a few lads who've seen him go.

ive just spent hour looking for some teenagers who went up to missus an said a bird like you shouldnt be walking a dog like that give it here,an when she told them to f**k off,they spent half hour following her talking about the bulldog,

they didnt even know what it was and was guessing what cross it was wankers.

i told her to come straight home next time ,

she went round the houses so they didnt know where we live bless her.

im sure we will come across them again

[j1985 1,984]

Had a fair bit of unwanted interest in mine mate!! Luckily the misses cant walk mine as she can't hold him if he see's a cat or something.

[j1985 1,984]

Like I said bud, mine batters traffic cones for fun and as seen is devesatating on a tyre!

This was a half bred, out of a Scott/Hines dog to a greyhound bitch, 'sports performance' I think the bulldogs line was called by some.... That'd be just about the last thing I'd have called this big shithouse and so it went to 'live on a farm'..!

[j1985 1,984]

Even though Hines and Scott are known for hogdogs all the early hines/Scott dogs imported here were big oversized dogs 100lbs or so...not many real working (hunting) types or even properly tested dogs were sent over so the Hines/Scott in that half x is probably a big heavy set dog that was out of dogs that had never been tested on anything either. Iv seen dogs weighing as much as 150lbs or so from the stuff here, I wouldn't even class them as the same breed as my boy.
