i think i have the most rare bully. he is extremely laidback. i had issue when he was a pup, tore into an arm of a couch. a good whack on the butt when i caught him, that was the end of it. smart, loyal, kid friendly, and not really vocal at all. i know for a fact i will live with this breed for the rest of my life! if you get one, you will not be let down.
