Well, a handwritten pedigree from a true dogman, I would trust. We have received two dogs with handwritten peds from our uncle(JW Truett) and those I know are real bulldogs. Our Boudreaux female, came right from Floyd with a single reg form and that I trust.

However, just because someone claims to be a dogman and has a few years into the breed...that does not make them or their dog's legit. If a person is breeding and selling to the public, even on a limited basis, they should have registration papers, IMO.

Regarding rescues and back yard bred dogs, I think you could possibly get a pure one. I know some of the dogs from rescues look better than a lot of the "breeder" dogs.
