Stupidity you say???

Google is your friend

I can just as easily google a SPOODLE and what a ridiculous 'breed' of dog that is, yes stupidity.

I am sick of these people taking one breed and another and thinking they have a whole new fantastic adorable breed.

This 'aussie bulldog' is basically a hybrid staffy/british bulldog/pitpull, so it's basically a taller british bulldog, occasionally will have less skin folds and you run the risk of having a more difficult dog to train in relation to territorial behavioural problems/aggression towards other dogs oh and bonus all the horrible genetic problems that british bulldogs have.

my friend has an American bulldog , 2.5 years old I think and doesn't have a problem, just don't want it getting over excited, or arestling whilst his dog is on the lead.

Have a read of that site. They are a registered breed, i know what the history of them is and the only known pit type they have in them is bully and the majority of the rest (apart from bulldog) is boxer and mastiff.

Just because you don't like them or there history doesn't mean they aren't there. With that logic an ambull is nothing more than a mutt.

I am not saying they arn't nice dogs, mixed breeds are just as lovable and i have two myself.
But from a breeders perspective they should'nt qualify as a registered breed due to the fact that they often get bred very differently and don't meet one physical/mental image which is what a registered breed should do.

They should be classed as a mixed breed, none of this silly making names up like i said before with the spoodle, labradoodle etc It's all to attract an ignorant buyer.

I'm a professional dog groomer and i get dogs of all shapes and sizes, you'd be suprised how many people call me up and say hi i have a purebred spoodle, there is no such thing but they have been fooled into thinking it was a purebred due to the name given to the dog.

I used to get that all the time when i was working at a vet clinic, spoodle, spanadore... the list goes on.

The things is new breeds are createdby integrating the blood of other breeds. That's how we have Staffies, bullies, pit bulls and even our current british bulldogs are a mixed breed if you look at their lineage.

thats funny a pure bred "spoodle".

know even I know that they arn't pure breds, because my cousin has 1 and it's ppodle X spaniel or something i think, but i kow it's a poodle X.

nothin' wrong with X's, as you where saying and I also have 2 crosses, and i recon that a collieXkelpie is a pretty good combo, = high jumping collie, or a big kelpie in my opinion.

and anything X bully needs a strong owner, and I don't think that they should be called "bull" dogs, but "pitt" dogs, so that if it is true, people know that it is a X with a pitty.

I'm aware of that, but to breed a standard poodle for instance they didn't just take two dogs and walla which is what backyard breeders are doing today with dogs like spoodles and aussie bulldogs.

They need to have significantly changed to become a whole new breed.

a american bulldog actualy dates back in the 18hundreds

Yep, a minitaure poodle x with an english cockerspaniel but ofcourse now people are breeding standard poodles with spaniels and toys with spaniels so ofcourse when someone goes to buy a spoodle they have NO idea what the dog will turn out like and they think they do because it's got a picture of one and it's called a spoodle not just a poodle x english cocker.

I have a cavalier kind charlie x ****zu, she was badly bred.
She's tall like a cavy but long like a ****zu and her eyes are very buldgey, she's got bad arthritis in one leg and she's only eight.

on the other hand my mother has a miniatre poodle x silky terrier

She has never had any problems, she's now sixteen.

That's what a good crossbreed is, two dogs that arn't incredibly different with maybe the exception of coat length and colouration.

They also need to start somewhere and the changes don't need to be completely visual they can be for health reasons, even though you don't agree with this the aussie bulldogs were bred to stop some of the genetic problems. And looking at a brit and an aussie bulldog they are visually a very different dog.

 

[reptile32]

this is my ambull best dogs ever loyal and great with kids and protect you to the death

 

[waruikazi]

Is he a scott or a johnson?

 

[reptile32]

johnson he is 9 years old and has cancer and he still will play with the kids like he was a pup again, i will never buy another dog again unless its a ambull i love the dog

 

[Tsubakai]

I've got two American Bulldogs. Absolutley beautiful dogs - I lean more towards the Scott lineage for that slightly smaller build with a bit more stamina.

My 11 year old boy is pictured in my avatar. He's very grey, deaf and lost a lot of muscle mass through old age but is still a physically intimidating dog.

 

[BlindSnake]

Except for the fact that they too suffer significant hip and shoulder displasia, and are dumber than the proverbial poo-carter's horse.

That's why I said get a well bred dog. x-ray checks etc.
As for being dumb. A dog can only be as smart as the owner lets it be.

Aussies arn't a recognised breed as yet, they are made up from Bullmastiff, English Bulldog, English Staff and Boxer. They are extremely popular, fetching high prices and therefore popular with the backyard breeders, which makes havoc to have a true "type" which it needs to be a "true" breed. I have no doub it will be recognised if they can keep the breed going for 20 odd more years, these things take time. Australian Cattle Dogs were produced in much the same manor, produced from Blue Merle Collie, Kelpie, Dalmation and Dingo, they took many many years to become recognised and are now a true icon of Australia.

 

[aoife]

i was going to get a ambull, they are awesome dogs but i got a rottweiler they are my ultimate fav. out of those 3 breeds i would definatly go for the ambull.

 

[Fireflyshuffle]

british bulldogs are *****s. sister in law bought one from a "highly sought breeder" for 2 and a half thousand, its killed a ****su,a sheep, chickens, and the only thing left is the boxer dog thats been attacked from it heaps . they are mungrels, every one ive known are mungrels.(sorry if you know diff) but you want opinions. they are poorly bread anyway with the bracecephalic face that makes it hard for them to breathe. they cant run for long, well not "meant" too. they are just like a fat ***** on the ground that weighs about 40 kg.
