Picked up our bulldog today. Always had various kinds of mastiffs so a bit different for us but should suit our lifestyle and plans better.

American bulldog,
The best dog I have ever known, so clever and total respect for the owner.

Cross breeds are more healthy because there’s a lot of inbreeding with pure breeds meaning illnesses can be horrendous.
King Charles Cavaliers, for example, can have this problem with their skull being too small for their brain so they die of brain haemorrhages as the brain can’t find space in the skull.
That’s just one example, it ranges from blindness to madness to death though.
If you can get a dog that’s the offspring of two cross breads then you’ll end up with a very healthy dog.

Collie's are the best but it's a full on job.
Our Greek rescue (Zikos) has his first 'Gotcha Day' on Wednesday. He's got lots of Jack Russell in him, some people have suggested Parsons Jack Russell and, by the looks of him, some sort of hound: long body, shortish legs. We got him through a fantastic lady, originally from Greece she now lives in Didsbury, and Zikos was her 30th rescue. It's a risk I guess getting a rescue dog, but it's also a risk buying a puppy even from a registered breeder (as we know to our cost and I don't mean financially), Nancy works hard at rehoming the right dog with the right people and, for us, it's been amazing. If anyone, particularly with experience, is looking to get a dog I'd definitely recommend getting a rescue.
Jack russell for me.
Little bastards but they'll be your best mate forever, you'll spend all of it's life trying to prove who's in charge and neither will win lol but you'll have a whole lot of fun while it kids you you're the boss.
Can't understand people that want a easy maintenance dog that sleeps all day and night, you may as well buy a fcuking cushion and throw it in front of the fire.

Always loved them growing up but have never had one.
How are they with other dogs, because I’ve had mixed reactions from them in the park with my Lab.
As I said on another post I have a 10 week old cocker spaniel pup you are welcome to trial for a few months and then hand back when all trained up.
joking aside Cockers are a perfect family dog but so are plenty other breeds as cross breeds.
Mate that is one hell of a picture. I'd love a dog like that but I couldn't face the walkies in the middle of winter when its snowing a blowing a gale, We ended up taking a three legged cat from the RSPCA and he's more than a handful and we're very happy with him.
Love your dog though
