I suppose it's a personal thing, the mastiff X we have was adopted as an adult but little things like golf clubs and bats will set her of and luckily she was on a chain when I realized this. I do trust the dog but you never know what a dog has gone through and what may set them off. Personal preference and thanks for info

We currently have a little foxy and she doesn't like that either, so I'm thinking if we start off at pup then surely she wouldn't mind it and can see it grow and get use to dogs I knew people who thought if they got a pup their child would be fine. I told them don't do it. Pup ended up in the pound at 12 months of age. I suggest you find friends with nice quiet older dogs and visit them a lot without forcing your child to interact with the dog. I have plenty of mates with nice quite dogs and she doesn't like them, they do not bark at her or anything. She just won't give them the time

I'm not to surexceed if she is scared or what because on occasion will give dog attention, especially the ones people are walking around at the market which range from small to big dogs

Thanks for the input people, my daughter is 2 years old and has had no bad experiences with dogs to my knowledge. I currently live with my girlfriend and her parents who own the foxy and their other dog which is a mix breed mastiff x. She has the same reaction to all dogs big and small but on occasion will give them a pat or some attention, so I'm guessing she may not be scared but would rather not interact with them, but we have a local market where people walk around their dogs which are on leashes and she doesn't mind touching them. My neice was the same when she was younger so her father decided to get a rottweiler puppy and her dislike for dogs was cured. I don't think I could trust a dog that is already fully grown as i would like to start from a pup so it knows who his family is. This dog would have 3 owners My daughter, my mother and I and would not actually be living with us but would be staying at my mums where me and my daughter are every weekend and maybe have the occasional sleep over. The choice of a bully breed is mine and am starting to feel a bit selfish and may need to look a chiuawawa or something. Cheers and hope that fills in the gaps for more helpful criticism.

Cheapest British bulldogs I've found are $1800.00 but they don't have the nicest looking markings

Hey there people I am currently doing some research as I am looking to add a new member to the family and hopefully help my daughter get over her fear of dogs. I have always been a British bulldog lover but after doing a bit of research and then reading about breathing problems, heart problems, eye problem and that they can't swim to we'll has put me off (correct me if I am wrong,thanks) and that's on top of $3500.00 which are the nicest looking ones and I doubt a vet bill would be cheap. So I have been looking into alternative bully breeds and found a new breed in America called the Renascene Bulldog which is a designer Bulldog created to look like the early bulldogs I quite like the look of them as they are taller and more athletic. So I live in New Zealand and getting one sent over here would probably cost an arm and a leg which I only have 2 of each and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction to hopefully find a breed/bloodline which closely resembles the Renascene breed. I have found some on trademe which are labeled an American Bulldog and are pretty close to what I am looking for but other alternatives would be very much appreciated. Cheers and thank you
