Bred for farm and family protection, THE WAY THEY USED TO BE! Breeding the Carr White English for four generations; a family tradition...and still going strong.
"If you gotta train it, it ain't a bulldog!" We breed our WE the way they've been bred here for as long as anyone can remember. We live in a rural farming town where the Carr WE was developed almost 100 years ago for use as a farm and family protection dog. These dogs were bred to protect livestock, farm equipment, and family from four and two legged predators. They were expected to pull their weight and earn their keep or they simply were not kept. For those unfamiliar with the life of a rural farmer, they're on the go non stop, from well before sun-up until well after dark. They've no time to train a dog to protect and no use for a dog that requires it. They've been bred with an innate ability to protect what belongs to their master and to take care of a threat without instruction or assistance from anyone. They are extremely serious protection dogs that quickly and efficiently eliminate a threat, only quitting if told to by their master. The Carr WE are serious protection dogs with no quit in them unless told to. These qualities are bred in them as they've always been done, and are never trained in them. I've always been told that if you had to train it, it ain't a bulldog! It is because of these qualities that they are entirely unsuited for and inappropriate to city or suburban life. We do not believe in training a bulldog to protect, a trait that should be innate. Nor do we believe in training a bulldog in man or sleeve work. This training is redundant and unnecessary in a properly bred bulldog, that can have tragic results to people, other animals and dogs, and to the dog itself. Quite simply, training a bulldog to protect and to bite a man that has been bred with a natural ability to protect is dangerous. We do not believe that training is a way of harnessing these abilities, rather that protection training destroys these natural abilities. This was also the firm belief of the originator of the American Bulldog, J. D. Johnson, "I strongly advise against protection training these dogs because I feel that they are aggressive and protection oriented enough. The majority of dogs that I have had returned to me over the years have been returned following protection training. I feel that these dogs can be trained from a protection or Schutzhund type standpoint, but I think that the dog trainer must be very highly skilled. These dogs can be extremely ferocious towards any animal and to direct this degree of fury towards a human being is dangerous. I know of no quicker way to ruin one of these dogs than to place him in the hands of a less-than-expert dog trainer who trains him to attack human beings." Whatever happened
to the family bulldog being the babysitter whose job it was to protect
the children? We used to play outside all day with our bulldogs with our
parents actually putting the dogs in charge of us. They followed us
everywhere we went, never chasing other peoples livestock or dogs, or
other people. People knew to leave us alone because of that bulldog with
us. They were our guardians. Remember the little Rascals? Same thing.
Now we are in a day and age where 'bulldogs' are trained to attack and
cant be trusted with our children, yet their owners insist on calling
them 'guard dogs' because they've been Shc trained?!?! Sch training does
not make a guard dog, it makes attack dogs. It is the old dogs of my
youth, the dogs like Petey from the little rascals that we and the WEBPS
are preserving...a true natural guard dog whose job it is to protect his
children, not to attack them. 'Working' or 'Protection' as a prefix to 'Bulldog' is redundant. Jeff & Heather Wilkins - Hawkinsville, Georgia 478-783-2535
