Isn't that a face that NOT just a mama can love. 
This is my sweet American Bulldog, Takara. She is due to have her first litter of puppies in just 6 days, although I don't think she's going to hold them for that long.
If you go to my pics, I've added a photo album just for her. As you can see, she is normally a very lean, strong dog.
Her belly is getting a bit out of control. LOL 
Honestly before I got Takara, I wasn't one for a large breed dog. I've always had little one's like shitzu's, silky terriers, that kind of breed. Takara has changed my mind. She is the sweetest, most loyal dog I've ever had. Very smart too.
I house trained her very easily when she was still a pup. My small breed dogs never did get completely house trained and have ruined many a carpet. I've learned that it's more to do with the breed. Training is important with large breed dogs, but once they have been trained, all they want to do is please their master.
Anyway... just wanted to let you know to keep an eye out for some very sweet pictures of puppies coming soon.
I wonder how many she will have. American's generally throw 7 - 13 in a litter. This is her first litter, so I have no history to go on, but she is really big.
Anyone want to take a guess??
