[quote1322292674=Pauly] And about the good ones coming from straight hunting stock...I guess that'd be dependant on what you consider good. Some of my favorite ab's in the breed didn't come from a hunting dog for 40 years. Most standard/scott american bulldogs don't even come from a strictly hunting background. [/quote1322292674] Oh I agree. That's why I said: [quote1322292635=Wolf] IF the breed is a boardog, then every single AB should be of such heritage. [/quote1322292635] The "if" part is there for that. Just classify them as multipurpose working dogs and be done with it, ya know? Good post, btw. Missed it on the first glance-over.
