The American Bulldog.

​Origin:
As their name gives away, the American Bulldog was created in America and is believed to have existed as early at the 17th century.
The breed become almost totally extinct until a solider by the name of John D. Johnson returned to American from World War 2. His disappointment at the dwindling numbers of the breed lead him to collect specimens from all across the rural South and begin breeding. He is recorded as breeding the most American Bulldogs out of anyone else in the world and today is credited as saving the breed as it would likely be extinct had it not been for his and his families breeding efforts.
 
Purpose:
Sadly, the American Bulldogs were used in the sport of Bull Baiting but were also used as working dogs for farmers, serving as guard and protection dogs and hunting. They have also been used for weight pulling.

Coat care:
The short, firm coat of the American Bulldog is very easy to groom and maintain. It can be brushed with a bristle style brush every so often and they should only be bathed as needed. The natural oils in their skin will help to keep their coat clean and free of odours.

Health & Temperament:
Of all the Bulldogs, the American Bulldog is the largest, with long legs and built to be fast and more agile than any other Bulldog. They are a very confident, brave and determined breed of dog who are incredibly loyal to their family. They are naturally protective and have a love for children, so are popular with families. A well socialised pup will grow into a well rounded Bulldog. They enjoy daily walks and being with their family.
The breed can be prone to hip dysplasia and can drool/slobber a lot. They can live up to 16 years and are considered a sturdy breed of dog.
