I say hounds from time to time. I've heard it from a man who I believe has over 40yrs in this sport. I believe from time to time he calls them curs and mutts also. Anyone know of a guy who has Shannon River Terriers? Some of us who posted probably do....hint.

We all have different opinions and ways of going about things. Some do it to not deal with the negative attention received when saying bulldog or Pitbull or whatever. Others are more intense about bulldogging than others I agree, nothing wrong with that either. If you don't like it when referring to your dogs let them know. Hopefully the convo continues and bulldogging is the topic. Honestly I know what I'm working with & have got too much going on to worry about what somebody else calls my dogs, words ain't never proved shit.

But then again......... I was taught it ain't a BULLDOG until it proves it is. Kind of along the same lines as just cause you have dogs it doesn't make you a dogman. Certain things have to be deemed so. But like I said we all have our different ways, maybe good for finding who's on your side and who's across from you. LOL

Not intended for anyone in particular just a broad post on the matter.

Lol!!! Yup, calls the yard a "bunch of scruffy tailed curs" on a daily basis. 42 years in January. I think it's strictly Ina joking fashion though. I know it makes him squint when he sees others call them hounds. Any time he's being serious they are called bulldogs.

I've called these dogs many things, some can't be repeated in polite company. I think what makes me cringe the most is the context some folks use it in, makes it pretty obvious how serious they are about what they do and all in all that's what really rubs me the wrong way. the fair weather, half assed, fly by night types. I don't really care if you call them puffalmups or woozles as long as ur heart is where it's supposed to be.
