Ok, originally these dogs The Bulldog and most Bully breeds were bred for bull-baiting, which was done away with but re-introduced on a wide scale in the form of boar-baiting. I am neither a proponent or opponent of the sport, I feel fairly neutral about the whole ordeal. I've read and heard a lot of people who are just totally upset with the idea that people still go hog-hunting with these dogs.
I like the idea of weight pulling and personal protection/a lesser form of schutzhund, growing up with rotties and ABs I like the idea of a dog that is protective of it's home and it's people... and in return the people should be protective of their dog/family member. What are your thoughts on this? Why are so many people wanting to take the tenacity out of the bully breeds? ( I am NOT talking about having a ferocious, lunge at everyone it sees kind of dog, I am speaking about a dog with a solid temperament, that obeys its master, but knows how to protect/guard its home and property)
