Not everyone wants a dog in a familiy environment with huge territorial aggression that blacks out at the sight of people, they want a pet who also provides a deterrent value in protection of their property, my opinion is a crap GSD has more deterrent value than a crap Bulldog and in relation to this thread, I have shared my reasons for believing that.

Let's agree to disagree. I've owned old line working rott a hybrid working line bulldog now I have Johnson bulldog and a von forell gsd.. I know the difference in Wat the dogs r made of.. My bulldog is a pet kids ride him pull him punch kick he loves it gsd way to boisterous for them but he loves them just to drivey at 14 months ... But I've said my peice on the deterrent factor I know as I own both breeds... U r on this gsd power thing so hard I'm looking into another breed that I and many others like and i would like them to excell as the gsd does..unlikely but I like to see it.. Everyone knows the pros and cons on both breeds shep is better but a good dod is a good at the end of the day.. I get u love gsd and fax to intense level but look outside the realm of your possibility.. I know my gsd is better but I'm sure a bulldog can get there also.. gsd and fax r great but there r better out there.. My dog is from natan v busecker great dog I am told but I'll never know as I never seen him just as u never seen fax.. It's a personal thing many ppl don't like big
Bully breeds just like many don't like shepherds!!

Billy, you asked the question and I gave my opinion and reason why I support the GSD and why I like them, it's called discussion. I also like the Malinois and Dutch Shepherd and no, I am not into Bulldogs, I don't see anything in a Bulldog in working versatility where an advantage lies over the traditional breeds, in most working factors from what I can establish the Bulldog appears to lack, so for me, there is no point considering a breed lesser than what I have or taking a punt on a Bulldog in hope of getting what I need? If you personally like them great, I have no problem with that.

As far as Fax goes, he was a good dog who in my opinion had the lot and that isn't from unqualified opinion, he was the highest credientialled dog ever to be imported so to me, the Fax bloodline is worth working at. Why work at bloodlines that have achieved nothing. There are too many dogs tucked away virtually untrained said to be of awesome quality by the people who own them, maybe they are maybe not, I am more interested in GSD's who meet the proper standards across the board, not just in particular traits that people personally favour, but that's just me?

Happy new year!!!
