Shortly before my elderly mother died, one of her very few pleasures was to take her little dog for short walks. She encountered a very similar experience, a load of un leashed dogs of similar stature to the ones in the above picture. The dogs made a bee line straight to her and her dog. This frightened her so much she was too scared to walk her dog ever again. She died six weeks later. Not a problem where the public can not be subjected to this kind of intimidating experience, hence my coment about it being ok on private land.

But seeing as we own virtually the same type of dog you will know bull breed dogs are famed for ignoring things around them and not responding. Dogs in the pic were waiting on a dog returning to pack.
Plus all dogs owners from the pack are experienced dogs men and breeders, id like to think we know when is right and wrong to unleash the dogs.

The thread title is a little misleading imo that's all and doesn't come across as a 'here are my dogs, aren't they beautfiul' kind of thread, hence why i asked what would happen if i bumped into them!
Nice looking dogs all the same

Hats off to you if they're all that well behaved, i can 'appreciate' dogs too but can see why some people might be slightly intimidated coming across so many dogs of that stature.

Check my site out and you can see the same dogs on there.

I also run numerous bulldog shows with various people across the uk each year attracting people from all over europe. As mentioned before would do me no good.

As John has already said, if needs be they can be called back and returned to their leads. Just seeing a pack of dogs off their leads does not automatically mean that they are about rip the next living thing apart that they encounter.
Two nights ago i was walking my dog and a couple walking a Jack Russell stopped me as their dog wanted to say hello (in doggy terms) to my dog and they told me about a Rottweiler that was off its lead and had attacked a Staffordshire Bull Terrier not far from where we were standing and she turned her nose up and implied that all Rottys are dangerous, when she said that i told her she was being unfair towards the breed as i am in a similar position with my breed regarding the fact that people think they are dangerous (which they are not) and are never prepared to give them a chance. I went on to tell her that the problem lies with the owner not the dog. If an owner knows his dog is likely to attack other dogs then obviously it should not be off its lead but i can honestly say that i don't think John is the sort of owner that would endanger other dogs (or his own) in public, he obviously knows his dogs characters better than anyone. On all of the dog related posts that he has contributed to he only ever comes across as the type of guy that other owners could take a leaf from, he most certainly doesn't seem like the sort of person that would do anything to harm other peoples dogs or the reputation of the bulldog breed.

Very nice looking Bulldogs, they don't look too exaggerated and have nice conformation, no bowed front legs there.
John - Ade, this is my bull Terrier, bred back to resemble some of the early dogs...
Bred by Lyndon Ingles, his website...

Quite a lot of people on here have met my current bully Barney, he's as daft as a brush, he's a big old boy, but a lot of people have been scared shitless by him also...

All the dogs in this thread are lovely looking, credit to their owners!
I have always wanted an English Bull Terrier because I think they have such a unique face and I have heard and read lots of very good things about the breed.

Good looking Bulldogs John. Good to see a bit of muzzle and a not too undershot jaw. Your Alfie is actually quite similar in type to my Staffy bitch, that says alot (in a good way). What's best is their weight and condition (partiularly Alfie), too many fat Bulldogs around.
Thanks John and Ade for the comments about my BT.

The point i'm trying to get across, and it's not aimed specifically at you Ade, is the fact that it's not fair for people to judge dogs purely on their appearance. Yes, if a dog comes at you baring its teeth and growling then you have a right to form an opinion that it's potentially a dangerous dog but if your opinion is just based on the fact that it looks like it goes to doggy gym for 6 hours a day then the chances are your opinion is wrong.
As said before Ade this is not directed at you but it gets on my tits when people jump to conclusions based on breed and build alone whether it be Staffords, Bull Terriers, Bulldogs, Rottweilers, Dobermans etc.
