Yea things are good and I seem to always keep one or two dogs around. Been doing Bullhead, Kinghaven ABs x Chinaman APBTs for more than 10 years. I like the 3/4 AB 1/4 APBT, They got the athletic ability and wind but have a better handle than those APBT sisters I had. I try to get out hunting but the guys I used to go with down in Florida don't get out anymore. Looking for a new spot.

I'm a bulldog (APBT) man 100% till I die but doesn't mean I don't appreciate other breeds or good dogs when I see them. If I couldn't have bulldogs I would go with an AB hands down. In fact I recommend AB's to people when they are starting out.
There are pro's and cons to everything, and people will always have their preferences but I have hunted behind some really good AB's and APBT's. What I like about AB's are their size, intelligence, easier to control on and off switch, and they are usually easier to control dog aggression with. With that being said I still love the superior air, athleticism, and heart of a good bulldog. To each their own.
the most athletic ab that i had was my old same dog who was a cowboy son bred by lem miller. sams color, size and build would have fit right into orbie coplins yard. orbie was a game dog guy with a yard of tightly inbred and linebred howard hienzel apbts. i actually remember art lee had a male from coplin named audie murphy and he was a little bigger than my sam dog. so with sam i got the best of both worlds for my needs in an ab. sam was about 75 pounds so i would have liked him to be 80 to 85 and preportionally the same just a bit bigger and still retain the wind, etc. he was a real good dog as he was i just feel a bit bigger would have been better.
