American Bulldog Dogs breed or breeds

A Bulldog, also known as British Bulldog or English Bulldog, is a breed of dog which traces its ancestry to England. It should not be confused with other varieties such as the American Bulldog or the French Bulldog, which have a similar appearance. The muscular American Bulldog possesses great strength, tenacity, determination, and confidence. The American Bulldog lives for his family and may become destructive if left alone too much.

There are two types of American Bulldog, the Johnson version is larger in size and has a shorter muzzle compared to the Scott version. Both versions have strong jaws and a short coat that comes in a range of colors: Combination's of solid color and/or some parts white - All shades or tan, brown, red, or brindle. Their eyes come in any color although if the dog is white it should have black rims.

He is best owned by active people who are interested in developing his athletic abilities in weight pulling, obedience, agility, hunting, farm work, or Schutzhund. Though usually calm and self-possessed, he must have vigorous exercise to stay fit and happy.

They are known for confidence, intelligence, and loyal temperament. In addition, they have an extremely high pain threshold. As athletic and energetic dogs, "pit bulls" need to be exercised frequently. They shed and their skin can be extremely sensitive.

"Pit bulls" were historically bred to display dominance and aggression toward other dogs—a relic of the breed's dog fighting past. Even today, some pit bulls still retain the predisposition towards dog aggression. However, a "pit bull" displaying the correct breed temperament is friendly towards humans, and is generally a poor choice as a guard dog.
