You never know about any type of bulldogs. That's pretty much all I have ever ran. Just because its a "good nature d" dog does not mean it won't cross any line. Dogs are animals just like any other animal. They have mouths instead of hands and they can't talk to us either. I have had american bulldogs, pits, old english bulldogs, and several different mixes. For one, any bulldog breed is bred to fight, period. When you research them, they'll say bred to hunt bear, bull baiting, dog fighting etc. Like it was earlier stated, bulldogs have a higher prey drive because of this. That's also why we use them as "catch dogs". I will say I've seen some really good catch dogs that were ridgeback and cur mixed. but far and few in between. I've been bit by my own dogs 3 times and my wife got bit once.  I got bit because they were tired, another time because one didn't want me to pull him off a hog, and another time I was sewing one up. My wife got bit because she tried to separate a bulldog that was mounting a gyp. Dumb move. If you read all these cases of mine, you can understand why I had this happen a few times, hell I'd bite someone too. Pits in my experience are worse, but that's just my experience. I have a american bulldog/old english bulldog that hasn't bit me yet. He's pretty nice.
