    Is a Bully Breed right for us?

    Don't think I don't know what you are doing, Sizzle...;) Love that last pic of the crew. Are they all yours? Thanks again to those who have offered up more insight into Bullies and the dog park. I have also done some reading on a Bully site that someone from here directed me to which...

    What breed for me?

    I personally have always liked Brian Kilcommon's response to people stating they want a guard dog. When people say "I want my dog trained to be a guard dog", he responds by saying something like "well, you would need to train your dog to sit" and they excitedly say "my dog can sit!".....And...

    Is a Bully Breed right for us?

    Is a Bully Breed right for us?

    Thanks to both of you for your thoughtful responses...! Admittedly, my only experience with the actual breed is with my friend's pit mix. She looks more APBT than the probable lab she was crossed with and she also has the bull body type (which is one of the things I love about her) but...

    Is a Bully Breed right for us?

    Hi all, I am starting the long task of researching what rescue dog (preferably) would work for us and our small family. We moved last year from a province with a pitbull ban in place to a city that is over-run by these friendly, seemingly sweet dogs :) So, I have placed them on the list...
