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. :-)
Seen the puppy and its a bit cute Strangely, the parents are white (bulldog) and tan (****erpaniel) but the pup is black, not sure how that works? Has the face of a spaniel, but the stocky build of a bulldog (i assume). Seems pretty calm so am not as stressed about it as i was before.
I assume the white would be rescessive (as it is is cats) and therefore the dog is most likely to get whatever colouring is on the spaniel side rather than the bulldog side. Black is always a dominant over anything apparently (if I remember high school biology correctly), so it would get the black over the tan, even though the tan is visible in the mother.
Golden ****er Spaniels can often throw a black pup. I had a black ****er and she was just beautiful. She died last July, 2 days before her 15th birthday.
