No disrespect, but this also shows a lack of understanding of absolutely everything also.

For starters, Great Pyrenees are NOT fighting dogs, and secondly they have an assload of hair compared to bulldogs.

And finally, even if we go with this exaggeration and use the 4x standard, it still doesn't mean shit.

The weight range of the Great Pyrenees breed spans 85 to 160 lb.
If we use the 4x standard, that would be equivalent to comparing massive human sumo wrestlers, ranging between 340 lb to 640 lb (which is 4x 85 and 160 lb, respectively).
At this proportionally-enormous size, 40 lb still doesn't mean shit.

Are you trying to keep a straight face and say a 500 lb guy has an "advantage" over a 460 lb guy?

And, again, this ratio involves the hair-shavings of a breed which has hair MUCH longer & thicker than that of the pit bull breed.
(If we were using an 85-160 lb pit bull, the difference would be maybe 1-2 lb of hair, which would translate to a 4-8 lb difference in a 340-640 lb massive sumo wrestler.)

So not only is the comparison invalid, 10 lb of hair from a massive Great Pyrenees is at least double/triple what pit bull hair would yield from that big of a bulldog. So, again, when we perform these reality checks, at the end of the day, when the PROVEN proportions are used, it still doesn't mean shit.

Well, her documentation of "bulldog hair" should also mention the weight of the dog being shaved.

It will be interesting, anecdotally, but I guarantee the results will still spell NEGLIGIBLE when all is said and done.
