In a year or so I plan to get a puppy. I'm thinking either a german shepherd or a bull terrier.
I've been around shepherds all my life, understand their health issues (hip dysplasia etc) and am perfectly capable of supplying correct exercise and training.
However, since I saw 'Babe: the sheep pig' movie when I was younger, I've been enamoured of bull terriers. I love the sloping nose and goofy grins. I've done a bit of research and their health issues appear to be skin allergies and deafness mainly? I've also been reading very mixed reviews on their personalities; some thinking they are the most cuddly, lovely animal around and others thinking they are evil. I assume the evilness is rubbish and it's all down to the owner. Please tell me if I'm wrong!
So I'd love to know what you think of them? If you've met one? If you own one? Give me your experiences?
(After all my research I'll probably end up at a rescue picking up a cheeky little mongrel anyway, but just in case!)
Thanks!
