Aussie Bulldog

[dogz101]

Looking at either Staffy or Aussie bulldog. Only thing is staffies tend to be high energy and attached. Have a small backyard and work full time. Dont know much about aussie bulldogs and wary of new breeds. anyone got info on aussie bulldogs

Staffies DO get attached to their people and can get destructive or escapist if left alone often, but there are plenty of not so high energy staffies out there.

I know nothing much about the Aussie Bulldog as there are too many breeders producing them by quite different methods so I'm not sure that you could firmly establish a temperament. If you have met one that you really like, then find out where that dog came from and try to acquire one from the same source.
If you want the actual breed in development you could contact the Australian Bosdog Society who do ensure breed protection. They do say, however, that the breed also craves human attention so I would think that you have the same problem as with the staffy, except that the breed don 't have many high energy types among them.

If you like the look of a staffy but need a dog that is content to potter around the house and yard when you are not home, perhaps look at the Bull Terrier? Read about them here.

I've met a couple of Australian Bulldogs that were lovely but don't know anything about finding a breeder. I never had issues with my staffy with me working full time. We'd do a big walk and / or dog park in the morning plus 15 mins of frisbee when we got home. Good bone for the day and allowed him inside when I was home so he was always with me. He was extremely well socialised as a pup and was a lovely dog who loved everyone.

They are just as high energy and needy Although a lot comes down to the owner .

We have boarded a few powerful,agile and come in varying shapes and sizes but wouldn’t consider them low energy at all ,infact a Staffy is milder and we also board a lot them

 Anyone got info on mini bull terriers. I know i can just google but who owns one and how big is it. Ive had an amstaff before which was about 25kg. Prefer something the same or smaller

This confuses me. the standard Bull Terrier will be much closer in size to the Amstaff that you had than the miniature version, which are roughly the height of a Jack Russsel Terrier, though heavier.

Bull Terriers tend to be midsize between Staffys and Amstaffs.
