The American Bulldog is one of the favorite pet breeds of the bulldog family not only in the US but around the world as well. Its relatives are the bull baiting breeds of England during 18th century and it holds to be the closest relative of the extinct Old English Bulldog. In Europe, bulldogs were heavily altered but the American Bulldog remained the same as when it originally appeared.

This breed has two types and these are the Johnson type and the Scott type. The developers of these types were well-known and highly regarded breeders, John D. Johnson and Allen Scott. Additionally, these types were also referred to as the Classic or Bully type and the Standard or Performance type.

The American Bulldog is often mistaken for a white Boxer because both hold a striking resemblance with each other. But describing an American Bulldog alone, its body is stocky, powerful-looking, well built and with jaws that possesses exceeding strength. It weighs from 60 to 125 pounds and stands 20 to 28 inches at the withers.

The coat of this breed is smooth, short, and sheds light to moderate. The coat colors are solid white, solid white with black markings, red, brown, brindle and fawn. The widely accepted eye color of the breed is brown and the mouth drools, especially for dogs that have looser lips.

Description for the Johnson type is bigger and heavier body, and shorter muzzle than the Scott type. The Scott type, however, is described as a leggy and bigger Pit Bull. Comparing with its European counterparts, this breed has longer legs, is more flexible and quicker.

The disposition of this breed is happy and amiable and it is comfortable with the presence of other people so long as they don't pose a threat. This breed also bonds strongly with the master and gets along well with other dog breeds and animals given that it is trained at an early age. Avoid neglecting this breed because it tends to adapt problematic behaviors if not cared for properly.

This breed is developed as a highly energetic working dog that's why it needs constant activities in order to utilize its excess energy. A house with a big and unconfined yard is best for this dog's daily activities. This dog also needs regular exercise such as walking or running as this will help him remain healthy mentally and physically.

The ancestors of this breed came from England and were ultimate fighters in bull baiting. When the bloody sport was banned, breeders developed the breeds in to gentler and smaller dogs. Some of these new breeds came to the US and were further developed and the American Bulldog is one of the products.
