Temperament |
The White English Bulldog is a family and livestock protection dog. Controller and retriever of the roughest livestock, even in wetlands. Suffices as an all around hunter from treeing squirrels to bears. A very old and extremely rare breed in it's true form, the WEB is a medium to large dog bred as an all around farm and stock dog, specifically protection of such. Loyal and fiercely protective of its master, the master's family, property, livestock and especially the children. As in all dogs, be sure you are this dog's true pack leader, and he will be submissive to its handlers. The WEB is not bred to be a hunting dog, though it suffices adequately. |

"Jack, the White English Bulldog and his little buddy, Nicholas. Jack is a working farm dog whose duties include guarding the property, the family, the livestock; seperating and moving both cattle and swine, and holding them when needed. When not working the stock, he is full time guard dog and playmate. Jack works alongside his dam in his duties."
"Lane's Otis, Mary, and Diamond watching over the goats. The WEB works as a team to perform it's tasks, yet is quite capable of working alone."
"Adult male and two adult female WEBs, one of which is a nursing mother, stand back to allow their master to enter the puppy pen. They have simply been told to stay back and do not require being held back by force. Notice the mother dog is watching her master for further instruction."
"Lane's Patchee checking on the hog. Notice she is not showing aggression or any sign of prey drive towards the hog. She is greeting it."
"Two adult males and one adult female WEB working together making the rounds around the property in their guarding duties."
