Well my opinion is the bull stop is stupid gimmicky nonsense, and I think mike hodgens is a puppy peddler. It's just too obvious reading his spiels about the bullstop and bull enduro. He did create the bull arab, but serious boardoggers were duped by him, bought the dogs and turned them into seriously great boardogs. The same could happen with his bull stop and bull enduro, although I doubt it because people aren't as naive as they used to be. Basically I don't think bull arabs should be judged by their creator. It just so happens to be smart ingredients for a boardog. and then all the serious boardoggers who have worked and bred them for the last 30+ years (mike hodgens not being one of them, he was banned from owning dogs over the last 30 plus years) have made the bull arab into a great dog. Hodgens hasn't had anything to do with them for a long time and they're all the better for it. You asked my opinion, now I risk being sued (he's always trying to sue everyone), but I can only call it as I see it.
