About American Bulldog

History of the Breed

In England during the 17th and 18th centuries, bulldogs were used on farms to catch bitches and hold livestock; as butchers' dogs; as guardians and in bloodsports. n 1835, the sport of bull-baiting was outlawed in the United Kingdom and, over time, the Bulldog there became a common pet, being bred into today's more compact and complacent version.

Description of the Dog

The American Bulldog is a very muscular, sturdy dog with a large, powerful head and jaws. He is very strong, but agile and light on his feet.

.

The chest is wide and the muscular neck tapers from shoulders to head. The neck may have a slight dewlap. The head is square and broad with muscular cheeks and a furrow between the rounded eyes. The strong muzzle is shaped like a box. Any eye color is permitted. The nose is black or grizzle. The lips should be loose and generally black. The heavy-boned front legs should be strong and very straight. The hindquarters should be very broad and muscular. The low-set tail begins thick at the base and then tapers to a point.

Personality

Temperament of the Dog

An American Bulldog is typically a happy, friendly, brave, determined, alert, self confident and assertive dog that is at ease with its family, specially children, and fine with strangers as they get to know the stranger in question. It is known for its acts of heroism towards its master, displaying its strong protective instincts. These dogs have fought wild dogs, bulls and even fire. They are said to have "true grit, true devotion and true love." Some may be aggressive with other dogs and reserved with strangers. They need to be around people to be truly happy. This breed tends to drool and slobber.

Training

Because of strong guarding instincts and a somewhat dominant attitude, they need a firm but fair hand; they should be socialized and obedience trained early to expose them to other dogs and people and to ensure that they can be controlled around company as they get older and larger, they can be stubborn and mischievous if not exercised enough. They can be stubborn with training though once they are trained they tend to obey their masters faithfully.

American bulldog puppies can be relatively difficult to housebreak, thus it is important to be persistent.

 

Activity Level

How active is the breed?

They are working dogs with high energy drives. They need room to expend their energy, and so American Bulldogs do best in a home with a backyard and preferably a "job" to do. A tired well worked bulldog is a happy bulldog.

Living Conditions

The American Bulldog will do okay in an apartment if it is sufficiently exercised. They are relatively inactive indoors and will do best with at least an average-sized yard.
