Exactly
I wouldn't even dignify such a question with a response.
I guess I will quote another dogman, Bobby Hall, when he said, "If you want something soft, put some shit in your hands, but if you want a bulldog let me know."
Every single oldtimer I have ever met in my life calls their dogs bulldogs. (Not "pit bulls," not "pits," and most definitely not "hounds.") They call them bulldogs.
The term "hounds" is a fairly-recent internet term that, like I said, is being used by many part-time, wanna-be dogmen.
As far as I am concerned, they're bulldogs.
Now I may shorten it when I ask, "How many 'dogs' you feeding?", but I would never ask how many 'hounds' ... although I am sure many people have that shit mixed into what they have, judging by their records
