Id have to say as far as the look Id like to strive for would be that dog Amos rebel 28 that Mark posted down the board.That is what I always pictured a bulldog looking like.Theres a lot of variations of bulldog that people like but to me that is the best looking bulldog Ive seen in my opinion.

: there are no garontee,s,but being brothers with good hip scores. pick the stud from
: what the rest of the dog is...like if you want bigger heads pick the one with the
: biggest head. you cant pick wrong. that is thing about having great qaulity dogs to
: start with. you wont know which will throw the tightest hip,s for years and if you
: breed to same female....no garontee,s on anything. use hip scoes as main tool if you
: want...as long as you keep in mind the total dog and the look YOU want to produce.
: you have done the most important thing allready....start with qaulity dogs. my

: when breeding for hip scores is it best to just go for the highest scored male or
: female?For instance Stomper and Rosco are brothers with the same ped but Stomper has
: the higher score.But does that mean that Stomper will throw tighter hips.Or similar
: results being that they have the same dogs in their background.I was curious what
: you thought about this because I know that in some instances the huge dog can throw
: smaller dogs were as the smaller brother might throw the big ones.Plus Stomper seems
: to have the bigger head than Rosco and Im wanting to do a Gracie male breeding to
: Sassy sometime in the future.So I guess my question is does higher hip scores in a
: sibling guaranty that the sibling will throw better?I know that there are also other
: things to consider overall but the scores are at the top of my priorities.
