The breed for those who want a "Miniature American Bulldog".
I guess French Bulldogs, Olde English Bulldogges, Pugs, etc, aren't enough for some people.

Can you believe that these dogs are actually being used in bite work?

There are even some that are "short and wide" like those hippo Pit Bull Terriers that have become so popular. BLEH!

I saw those... the heads really look like they do not fit on their bodies =/
I can't imagine how much they probably struggle to walk... I don't understand the point in making dogs so wide.

Ummm...what's wrong with just getting a French Bulldog? They look a lot prettier than that, are already a 'mini bulldog' and have been breeding true for many MANY years. And you don't need to chop half their ears off to get them to stand up. :rolleyes:
The lack of brain power and amount of greed in some people just makes my head spin.

I think Obie is stuffed and they just move him to different spots to take a picture.

I believe they are Frenchie, EB, and Olde English Bulldogge. But I'll have to look further into that a little bit later to find what I read on that.

The American Bulldog Association apparently supports this breeder a lot.

A shorty bull - also known as a 'gomer' is a stunted, undersized bull that's used to keep around cows that have been separated from the breeding bulls to let the farmer/rancher know when the cows are ready to be bred. Poor little shorty bull . . . . all he ever gets is teased. He's safe to have around because he's not tall enough to do the deed. When the deal goes down, he just gets to watch from a safe distance.
Funny label to stick on a designer dog :D

I wonder if they know this.
Considering there's no way this breed has problem-free breeding/whelping, perhaps it's a pun intended.
Oh, and the breeders insist this breed is HEALTH ISSUE FREE, despite the numerous problems that all the breeds used have in common.

How funny, since there is no breed that is health problem free. Who do they think they are to make such a claim?!

They're mutt breeders. Which means they're allowed to make that claim, I guess.
They all seem to have that as number one excuse in their big book of excuses.

Almost every "designer dog" breeder makes the claim that their dogs do not have the health problems that are found in "those horrible, sickly purebreds!"
It's pretty sad when they need to resort to scare tactics to get customers. I came across a BYB who would give a 1 year health guarantee to their purebreds, but a 3 year guarantee to their mixed breeds. They warned against buying a purebred, saying that they are all prone to genetic defects and have shorter lifespans =/
