Quiet by nature, he can under some circumstances be courageous and brave. He is at ease with people, faithful and devoted to his master. As a watch and guard dog, he is unsurpassed. In quiet situations, he is trusting and self assured. When roused, his expression is piercing. Were one to find a purebred Mallorquin Bulldog one would possess a guard dog of unsurpassable ability- a dog that would require discipline and attention. This breed is strong-minded but obedient if properly reared from puppy hood. They adore children. Although it remains formidably powerful and alert, and retains the tenacity of its bull-baiting past. This breed is not for the causal pet owner. Makes a good watch and guard dog. Needs an owner who understands a dogs natural "pack order".
> The dog in the pic is neither an Am Staff nor an American Pit Bull Terrier, but the resemblence is very close. The dog pictured is a Ca De Bou.
Never heard of that dog — it’s a new one on me. I just did a lookup for New Zealand-based breeders and there do not appear to be any. None in Oz, either. That tells me that it is unlikely that there are any Ca de Boux here in NZ at all.
It would be interesting to see if it could be imported: I’m guessing Customs might take one look at the funny name and conclude that you were trying to pull a fast one on them, and try to ban it anyway.
If you could get them in, might be a business opportunity.
