Oh yes...if I get another dog, it would have to be an EB...especially knowing what I know now! I did a lot of research before I got Dudley, but doing research is no substitute for EXPERIENCE! I had desperately wanted to rescue a bully, but there are few opportunities here -- the waiting list seems to be huge. In a way, I'm glad I got Dudley as a puppy though -- he was just 8 weeks when I got him. Yes...the puppy thing is a bit of a nightmare, but...truly worth the pain and grief. I've been so lucky with the Dudster...he's really been healthy except for one nasty allergic reaction to parvo and a couple of ear infections. LOVE my boy!
