I've had a mix-breed or two and many rescues and they were just as healthy, fun and easily trained as my purebreed dogs. Just know that anything part bulldog might tend to have some hardheaded type issues as bully breeds can be quite wilful little tykes. I once had a bulldog who was such a charmer but oh, my, was Lovey ever given to her way or the highway, moreso than any other dog I have ever had. Now my son, a sort of dog whisperer himself in dogs with behavior problems, has an American Bulldog who is a Canine Good Citizen and so well-trained you would think he was a Border Collie. But I know Dan did have early problems with him pulling on the leash despite the excellent training he got several times daily. I would also be worried to some extent about the small dog living around one that could be considerably larger and more powerful. Even with the best behaved of larger dogs, accidents do happen. Just a friendly swat with a powerful paw can send a small dog to the vet.
