Temperament

The White English Bulldog is a family and livestock protection dog. Controller and retriever of the roughest livestock, even in wetlands. Suffices as an all around hunter from treeing squirrels to bears. A very old and extremely rare breed in it's true form, the WEB is a medium to large dog bred as an all around farm and stock dog, specifically protection of such. Loyal and fiercely protective of its master, the master's family, property, livestock and especially the children. As in all dogs, be sure you are this dog's true pack leader, and he will be submissive to its handlers. The WEB is not bred to be a hunting dog, though it suffices adequately.

Living Conditions

Living conditions are described as a farm dog. Large open areas with free run. Most do not do well in kennels or indoors. These dogs need to work and perform their duties.
