keepdiggin 9,133 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 My friend has one crossed with a rottweiler its a good guard but soft as a brush at the same time. Ugly looking things though like but can be useful for the odd job like greyhounds lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C556 351 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Having seen some old pictures of working Shar Peis, they looked more like pitbulls. Maybe talk her into a healthier bull terrier breed if they interest you's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seeing as though they are an ancient breed they could be the ancestors of the Bulldog and the APBT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C556 351 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I think it'll be more like what happened with the Japanese dogs. They found the European dogs were far more effective than thier own dogs so started adding a lot of bull blood to their spitz types. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Few round by me shapei x American bull, lovely dogs from what I've seen no issues. Just tip up with a lurcher pup and tell her it's an Italian greyhound lol, that's what I would do 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bulldogs are still added into Tosa lines to this day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
