It would depend on the dog, and his parents...there are many "bull dog" types out there...often people mix up the individual breeds and just mash them together as bull dog/bull terrier, so viewing the dog and its parents if possible would be the best option. Or just make sure dogs are kept separate to kids.
Lulu I'm sure that mix isn't quite as bad as a kelpie x cavalier...although the resulting puppy was quite cute! Has cavvy ears with slightly crimped fur, and a cavvy looking face but long legs of a kelpie! Definitely an *oops* litter... and then there was the litter of pups my brothers dog had, which were kelpie x sausage dog (sausage dog was the dad...imagine that..he sure wasn't going to give up lol.)
Ah okay, i might be thinking of pit bulls, are these the ones that have been made illegal? or at least i've seen lots of attacks in the news.
I personally wouldn't buy a dog unless from a breeder, and of course would view the parents temperament, but i know my MIL won't care about those things and is going to just view the puppy and go by how it is.
So i guess i just have to take the huge risk and hope they train it better than their cavalier (who still jumps on my toddler and is 5 years old).
Actual Bulldogs are the fat, short, drooly and snorty ones. Can have breeding/genetic problems with their breathing, noses, mouths and teeth (overbites and underbites). However, they are pretty placid! I've never seen one try too hard to do anything, except maybe eat. :-)
