I personally wouldn't get a bulldog, I believe one of the worse breeds for physical and genetic problems.
A mongrel would seem best for health, temperament and individuality, since breed is irrelevant to me, to a degree. Small dogs tend to be more aggressive and annoying (Jack Russels being prime examples), while larger dogs tend to be calmer.
A whippet will be heavily dependant on space available and time, since they require much more excercise than many other dogs for obvious reasons. Other large or sporting dogs are similar in this respect.
Pit bulls don't deserve the bad press, other breeds are just as likely to be aggressive in similar ways, just the media has centered on them and given them an unfair image.
Thinking about ducks and thus birds, have you considered a parrot?
