Breed Discrimination?

Who has run into it, where and what breeds? Looking for a new buddyI like the German Shepherd but have to look at a mix with "they say" lab and american bull dog. More turmoil.

    What do you mean "bully breed" like bull dog or demeanor?
  • Mostly sheps, dobies, pitties, and rotties. Some have size limitations. Best bet is to check with the cg you plan on going to. You can tell them it's a mutt or a mixed breed if they ask-only concern would be if it strongly resembles one of their banned breeds it could be an issue.

    Have to agree with xteacher on the American bulldog. They also get confused with boxers. Our neighbor has one and she's a good dog but our other neighbor refuses to go near her out of fear.
