Well, my wife and I have been trying to adopt for a little while now and we heard for the first time from one of the adoption attorneys that we chose. They wanted to show our profile to a birth mother. Needless to say I was somewhat excited. Not so much excited because we have a real chance to add a baby to our family, but simply that they have someone that they feel might be a good match and they wanted to show the profile.
I will admit that I am wondering how they will digest the fact that we have 4 rottweilers (and now a pit bull that we are trying to find a forever home). Many people tell us that we should not have added the dogs to our profile. I understand completely why they suggest this (I probably would say the same thing). What we want however, is for people to see us for who we are. We want them to know that we love animals and that the baby they would entrust to us would be completely protected. I was thinking of this the other day. Yes, there are 5 "bully breed" dogs in this house that are of the natural temperament to protect home and owner to the death, but not even that. I can see Sandra "going postal" on someone trying to harm our baby. And don't even get me started on my protective nature.
Anyway, I would love to hear from anyone that has a "bully breed" in their home and they were successful in adopting. I know that it is possible and I would love to hear your story.

I saw this special on TV the other day about breeds that tend to have a bad rap. The trainer was explaining just what you always say... it's not the breed, it's how the owner handles it. Anyway, just thought of you when I saw it.
