The American Bulldog is a medium-sized Molossoid type dog. Powerful, compact and athletic, he has a well-developed bone structure and musculature. There are 2 types of American Bulldogs. The first, called Bully, is stockier, has a shorter muzzle and a well-marked stop. The second, called Standard, is taller and more slender, while remaining massive. Its muzzle is also longer. The majority of dogs these days are hybrids. In other words, crosses of the 2 types Bully and Standard.

History of the breed

John D. Johnson developed the Bully type , while Allan Scott originated the Standard type . The first dogs of the American Bulldog breed were registered by the National Kennel Club in 1970. At the time, they were called American Pit Bulldog. They were then given the name of American Bulldog so as not to confuse them with the Pitbull. The breed of the American Bulldog has not yet been recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale. In France, the French American Bulldog Club was created in 1999.

Cohabitation with children

Love strangers

The American Bulldog   is a dog cut out for work with his intelligence , his power and his activity, but which also proves to be an excellent companion for the whole family , even for the children. More docile than many other Molossoids, he is unfailingly loyal and devoted to his master. The American Bulldog is much more reserved, even wary of strangers . Vigilant and courageous, he therefore takes care of the house perfectly, without being unnecessarily aggressive. In family, he is jovial, playful and expressive . It is, moreover, characterized by a tendency to want to dominate the congeners , in particular in males.
