I could say no thanks to the french bulldog, my advice would be to get a terrier. Just do not get a Jack Russell, the jack russell is a crazy type of dog.

I think that bulldogs have squashed faces, a terrier such as a scottie has a much more graceful face.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

I prefer the push faces, personally. Ugly == cute. There is nothing that makes me melt like a bulldog. I have also always felt like the dog's facial expressions are more obvious in a dog with a push face.

I'm also not a fan of terrier breeds as they tend to me more active and high strung and I prefer laid back relaxed dogs.

This is why people create breeds. There is a huge difference of opinion from one person to the next on what they prefer in a pet. A lot of people prefer small dogs. My parents prefer having 2 140 pound bullmastiffs in their house.

I am getting a dog from my sister in a couple months (she is having a baby so needs to give him away). He's part welsh corgi and part beagle. So he kind of behaves like a terrier sometimes. I helped raise him as a puppy though so I went ahead and volunteered to take care of him in the last leg of his life :P

I hope i didn't give people the impression that i'm Anti-dog or something...lol...I DO love dogs...and although i don't technically have one of my own my dad has one and my mom has another that i still consider to be mine. A Golden-doodle and a half malimute (<-spelled wrong i think) half border collie. I'm not a big fan of small breeds for the most part. I like big dogs :P
