My English Bull Terrier, he has alot more muscle already in the 3 weeks or so we have had him.

He's as brilliant as our old English Bull, real good fun, absolutely nuts racing around the house, manages to stand exactly where I am just about to put my feet and he is a star with other dogs big and small.

Obviously to you my post is useless as you haven't even mentioned English Bull's, but if your looking for loyalty I haven't experienced a better breed, they suit my temperament anyways.

Sorry to hear about your loss also mate.
