Okay, so my family and I moved into an apartment, and I had to give up my two pit mixes (they allow ANY other breed, just nothing with pits). I am looking for a dog, and I will definately go to the shelter. Here in Central Florida, there are a lot of American Bulldogs in the shelters (probably second most right behind pits). So I have done some research, I think they are beautiful dogs. I also have twin boys who are 2 1/2 with tons of energy, so getting a dog with energy is perfect for us, plus i am a stay at home mom and involve my pets with our lives. I was just wondering if anyone has had any personal experiences about the breed, plus I am continuing to do some research. Any advice or stories? Thanks!
