I understand. Getting bulldogs 'not' to play isn't much of an accomplishment. In my honest opinion, "fight crazy dogs" are a dime-a-dozen.

Talented dogs that can discriminate friend from foe are the almost invariably the best dogs IMO. For example, I remember Indian Sonny mentioning that the baddest bitch he ever had in his 50-years (Bloomers) could be let loose in the yard. I remember Fat Bill saying the same thing about his all-time-best bitch too, Ch Bolero, namely that she too could be turned loose and get along with other dogs. Gambler's prize dog Gr Ch Virgil's favorite buddy was a cat, so I am told.

So, again, it has always seemed to me that, almost invariably, the very best dogs (not common, ordinary dogs) always know the difference between when to go to work and when to have fun, and I have observed this same truth on my yard also. All of my "fight crazy" dogs have never been my very best, most intelligent, most talented dogs.

Sorry, but that is not impressive to me. I have plenty of "early-starting" pups, you can "believe that" too ( ), but most of even these can learn when to be "on" and when to be "off."

Well, we all have our own ways of doing things, which is fine. But I have always believed that the BEST bulldogs are the ones who can do it all, while (by definition) common dogs are the ones who are limited as to their usefulness and adaptability to different situations.
