American Bulldogs

[maxxy5]

Does anybody have any experience with American Bulldogs? I'm interested. Obviously they require special attention in training but I don't want something like an Akita which you're not even supposed to let off the lead. I would like to let the dog free in certain areas. Feel free to disagree with Akita thing, just what I've heard. I have experience with 'wilful' (read: grab your arm and won't let go) large terriers so don't mind a bit of attitude.
