2 1/2 years ago I went out to buy 3 gold fish, one for each of my kids. I came home with an English Pointer 8O I love her to bits :roll:

whatever breed you end up with, make sure you get it a +1 (breed doesn't matter - but small is probably easier to cope with)
Dogs thrive with four legged company.

Definitely!!! I recommend this to every one. The one petco pushes is a very good one, just check your local vets to see if they will accept it.

i am a major bulldog lover
i have had two american bulldogs
i would not get a frenchy though or an english
they have way too many health problems
i would get an olde english bulldog though

they aren't too, too big either
they are much healthier, very athletic and can be protective if the need arises
the greatest thing about all the bully breeds are their affection and loyalty
americans are my favorite because of their excellent protective instincts
