Hey guys with my family and I moving to Texas on base. We were gonna buy a pup for the kiddo. We are looking into a pug or english bulldog because I don't want to pick up giant piles of shit. Anyone have any experience with either breed?

My buddy has an English Bulldog that isn't a year old yet. He's an awesome dog and well trained and great with kids.
- sent from The Jerry Springer Show where I just found out Jared's Mom loves me and has disowned him...YAY!!!
English bulldogs can have some health issues. If u get one make sure u research it's blood line to make sure there isn't any reacuring issues. I have a dog de bordeaux (french mastiff). Got her in Belgum when I was in Germany, best dog in the world!

I dont know much about those dogs but I will say to get them from a AKC breeder, but shop around first and look at the facility that the breeder has. Ask how many times the female has been bred and make sure the male and female dont come from the same blood line. Not every AKC breeder is trustworthy so if something doesnt seem right tell them you will call them back and leave.

Pug would probably be your best bet. If you're looking for a dog that will have less health issues and keep you out the vet, than go with the Pug. The bulldog is a great pet but you'll spend a lot of money in the vet office. Like SMG said, do your research when getting a bulldog. They come with all kinds of issues due to their constant inbreeding when they first started the breed. Cancer is a huge issue when it comes to bulldogs and they have a life span of 6 to 8 years.

These Basenji hardly bark and when they do it usually means there something going on, our dog has cornered deer, ground-hog, killed a turkey vulture and had a possum act dead. Heck he is so silent we have to put bells on him at night so we can find him when its time to come in. Plus in the 5 yrs we had him, I have only seen him dump a couple of times, he drops all in the same place in the far corner of the back yard.

Old sarge roams the house at night you can hear him going up the step he sleep awhile in each kids rooms then comes down the back steps back to his bed in our room. He does his nightly patrols and if I'm playing video games he waits for me at the top of the steps to the basement, then starts his roaming.

Pugs are good dogs. But they are loud. Any dog that looks like he ran into a wall at full speed will snore horribly because of the short nasal passages. I have a boston terrier. He's snores a lot. He's a great dog, smart as hell, but loud. Usually I'll nudge him in the middle of the night to get him to stop snoring for a bit.

Our neighbors have 2 pugs. They are cute, but they complain about how loud they snore. They're also high maintenance keeping them clean, and have to be careful with their eyes. They can't have a christmas tree because they can poke their eyes out with the needles. Also one of them has under arm bo like a human, that's with a bath every two days. I don't think that's normal though.

Pugs have health issues with their bathing because of their snouts just like bulldogs. As stated already they are annoying as hell, and don't underestimate the loads of a bulldog lol. Honestly I recommend going to a pound to rescue if possible. Blue healers are good dogs and not to big for being a larger breed. Apartment pits are awesome...little but as loving, protective, and good with kids as regular pits. Just get a puppy to raise, so you are sure it's not been in the wrong hands.cocker spaniels can go either way with kids...they need to be raised around them, and if your kids are high energy and loud i don't recommend them. Honestly though most little breeds are not the best family dogs...you may have to deal with big poop lol

Id say get a French bulldog. they look like a mix between a Pug and a English bulldog. They come in 3 sizes full, mini, and toy. They generally have good health, and are well suited for all types of weather.

The worst is when their ass glands discharge uck that smell, and if you have a dog that glands get stuck you either learn how to pop them or pay 100 for the vet to do it. Had a old dog that I had to pop her glands worst part she would sit there with this happy look licking her lips through the whole thing.

True, but some dogs are more dangerous innately. That's not to say they can't make good pets, you just have to invest more time into them to make them that way.

Pits where designed to be a guard dog, not a play dog. They defend their owners and their territory. It just sucks, because of their nature, people use them for more than protection. Vets say that pits are one of the best family dogs to have and like Sam said. You have to train them to not be as aggressive as they where bred to be

Yes exactly the same goes for German Shepards, Labs, Rots, Dobermans, and any other dog that had a bad name at one point in time. My friend has a pit/great daine mix that he rescued through a charity that rescues puppies that were supposed to be fight dogs. Its the best dog ever and not any aggression what so ever.

The first part I can agree with, especially when we're discussing breeds like the Pit, Doberman, or Shepard. They're physically more dangerous if they attack you.
The second part is a pile though, in reference to the first. Naturally vicious breeds are far harder and more time intensive to train than naturally dangerous. And those naturally dangerous breeds, for the most part, aren't even in the top 10 as far as most vicious.

Well, yes, but some are more predisposed to viciousness. That doesn't mean all will be, just that many are. It's just like people-some are more predisposed to one character trait or another, e.g. alcoholism, but that doesn't mean you can't control it.
