New AB pup

I feel the same way Gary.

I have been around many ABs over the years, from all dif lines. Which I'm this breed can be worlds apart.
Enough to know that 1yr old can be a funky stage. Esp with the more protective lines and males.

This dog, being bred on a good sized yard of dominate type dogs and being in the adolescent stage. And being comfortable on that Mountain in PA with very little socialization besides his human 'family' and not yet mature,
Well, that's a big step for a young pup to be shipped for days in a crate. Plopped in a strange yard in the hot south with a strange guy (me) in a yard of strange dogs barking and some giving him the stink eye.... you all know how male curdogs and Bulldogs can be on the chain in their yard when a new male that isn't introduced And then, sent to another yard to start the process again in a week...

That's a lot....

I have no doubt as a 8-12 wk old pup things would be easier or as a fully grown dog things could be dif (worse or better lol)

But I give the dog benefit of the doubt on this one.

I know Jeff breeds dogs with protective dominate type dogs. I have seen and owned dogs if this nature. They tend to think and try and figure out people and situations moreso than farm bred livestock type dogs and mature at a dif rate because of that but also can make fine animals once they know their position in the pack and life.

Fact is the dog ain't bit nobody and that's a plus like Gary said....let's face it I have had to put down dogs that before a year old to 18mos were showing to be uncontrollable in my life.

I know the health and tools this line has to offer and jeff want to see his dogs excell at something we both consider 'bulldog work' and we gonna try it out and see if the dog takes to it. I think he will, and will be hell on wheels when we flip that switch on and learn what is expected and when and where the switch is to be on off.

Sorry for the long post
