Ain’t that the truth. Those who know... know. Absolutely unstoppable drive when they flip that switch... but the most sensitive, intuitive and loving family companions. The best friend you could ever have. However they do require physical exertion and daily physical activity. This is a working breed dog that does require a lot from the owner. Do not buy a bulldog and stick him in a condo all day
Totally agree I actually had the opportunity to get a dogo argentino and there so similar especially to the Scott type there’s so much more information on AmBD and since it so similar to my friends I watch em for hints and info.
We adopted a dog 3 weeks ago from a shelter in Newark, NJ, it was advertised as a pit bull terrier. She was big, 75lbs, white with brindle markings on front and hind quarters and small patches of faint black on her enormous head. I knew she was a Standard American bull dog and yanked her out of there for $200. 3 years old and very gentile, I truly lucked out.
They are very good with kids our dog had to deal with three little kids and she never left they side I think she thought it was her job to protect them. I miss her
U can tell straight away if the dog is a Bully if he has an over shot bottom jaw an flaps in between hind legs over shot jaw means the dogs bottom jaw is over the top jaw by a centremeter or so an short snout 3inches max Pittys have over bite same as us an all other breeds anPittys have longer Snout an the bulldog would be more thicker then putty . But best way is check the bottom jaw if it is longer an over shot the top jaw u have a bully breed ;)--
Good bargain, I got a America bulldog two months ago now in Ireland for 50€ as owner couldn’t look after him,he is 9 months old 23.kgs super with other dogs, loves kids and ppl,I’m on to a winner, I get stopped in the street as the dogs is so good looking fawn wit 4 white socks and a white runway going through the middle of his head and around his neck with some brown freckles specks in the whitest parts,such a great dog,Best of luck to you and your dogs folks as you won’t get any better love then that of a dog,weather your broke our rich they don’t care unconditional love always!! ✌️
The American Bulldog is the best breed I have ever owned or worked with. I had a shelter dog , American Bulldog, who was a five year dog considered unadoptable . He looked like a perfect American Pit Bull and he was white with grey patches. Over the years he protected my wife twice from attacks by dogs (both times by German Shepard mix). He also stopped a burglar cold who was in our house when we came home. He held the guy and suffered a beating until I got to him. He lived until age 15. I now have two American Bulldogs and an Alapaha Blue Bulldog ( smaller American Bulldog, very smart and easy to train) and two pit bulls. We have no aggression problems and all live in my house with my family. The American Bulldog is the best family dog I know of. Yours look beautiful.
My American Bulldog crossed the Rainbow Bridge almost three years ago at the age of 10 & not a day goes by that I don't miss him. He was gentle w/everyone we loved but was all business when he sensed something was wrong. Maybe once my heartache subsides, I'll get another one❤❤❤😥😥😥
Sorry for your loss. We've lost one too. Its wrenching. Don't wait too long to get another baby. They need good owners who care for and properly raise them. There's an ab fur baby who needs you. Puppies help focus your grief and work out the heartache. They're ok loving you till you can love them back. And if you call them by your old dogs name by accident, and sit down for a little cry, they lick up your tears.
Just had to put mine down after 12.5 years rip Lincoln ... the best breed in the world !! This was the best description of the breed ever !! Thank you!
We had to put one of ours down. Her sister almost didn't make the transition. It was tough for me, too. Our little frenchie stepped in. Love these dogs. Sweet as can be from the start. Great hikers, ocean wave lovers, cuddle pros. Ready to play or nap on my exercise mat while I attempt exercise. Mine don't like hats. Too funny. We miss our Caddie girl. She's waiting in heaven, no doubt being a goofball.
Cowboy's father was a Johnson his mother was a Scot tea with my service dog for 7 years I'm 57 years old and I'll never find a better friend than him the most amazing breed in the whole world
@DECIMUS MAXIMUS I have a 7 month standard American Bulldog pup and he's smallest male of his litter at 63 lbs and it's the same thing. He has a deep growl and bark and death stare, however people just think he's a big pitbull puppy 🤦🏽
My best buddy was an American Bulldog, he passed away 21 September 2019. He can never be replaced, but he earned another AmBull a cushy home like he had. Just have to find the right one.
I just lost my American Bulldog, Bogey. He was great with kids and loved kittens and puppies. I have no doubt he would have given his life for me. I thought I got lucky when I rescued him, but I hear over and over that this breed is a great family dog and protector.
We by chance rescued a dog from someone I worked with, man it turned out to be an American Bulldog, man you couldn't ask for a better dog, astonishingly smart, intuitive, loving, loyal, and the best damn guard dog I've ever had or encountered. I just can't say or brag enough on this dog, she's our Miss Bella Snoop Dog !! She's Loved Deeply !! I am a devout American Bulldog owner for life, Best Breed Ever !!
Grace Hurd same here! There’s a picture of my boy here, unfortunately I lost him about a month ago. I was DEVASTATED, still am which is why I had to get another AB companion.
Grace Hurd I agree COMPLETELY! I have to honestly admit that I was boo hooing like a BABY, he was only 7 and it was unexpected, started throwing up and 5 days later he was gone!
Also saved one he was very malnurished, now he is a healthy weight and very happy to be in a loving home. Wanting to do more with him though obedience and exercise wise.
I don't think this guy got lucky; he knows what he's doing with these dogs. Need more breeders and trainers like him... Most versatile dogs I've come across
I have a 9 month old American bulldog , 72lbs. She is very protective of our home. She has never ever hurt anyone. But she definitely let's people know she is checking you out before you step foot past the porch area.
I had two, o' southern white, American bulldogs. Two brothers and they are/ were amazing. When my wife was pregnant, they followed her around. They would sleep, with their head on her belly, until I came home from work. They could run 15 miles and jump over the bed of my truck. Someone tried to break into my house, he was met by a 115 pound bulldog, who jump through the open window to stop him. Born to protect, work and love. They are true, tender warriors, and adore being in a family.
Amazing animals! My wife and I rescued a American Bulldog. was severely abused. Terrified of people! progress is slow but she is progressing. She's a beautiful dog inside and out. wonderful animals. Thank you for the history.
I adopted my boy from the shelter. They had marked him down to $5, because nobody had looked at him because of his size. I love him so much. He was definitely abused, but trusted me from the start.
I adopted a girl from a shelter. They said boxer but I knew better. Didnthe doggy DNA amd she's an American bulldog. Such a good girl. She loves evwryine in my hoise, including 4 cats and 2 rats. She is my girl. She's go the short muzzle. She was found living on thenstreet and was incredibly thin. She is now about a 100# girl. She's getting old and slow, bit that's ok, so am I! Would definitely have another! One of the best dogs I have ever had!
Kraig, great video and information and thanks for posting. Until 10 years ago I had never heard of an American Bulldog, but an abandoned one showed up at our house on December 31, 2008. We named her Athena and she was the best dog I ever had. Our Vet. estimated Athena to be about 10 months old and she weighted 88 LBS at the time. She grew to a beautiful 130 LBS bulldog and was a great family pet. Athena was loved by all. Unfortunately, she got cancer in her left hind leg and we had to euthanize her on Nov. 12, 2018. Broke my heart. For anyone interested in seeing photos of her and a read about her story, internet search Athena - American Bulldog Tribute. I did her tribute to shed light on this great breed and to possibly reach anyone thinking about a rescue American Bulldog. They are GREAT dogs and I'll be getting another one soon. David G.
Sorry for your loss. Great Tribute video. It looks like she had a loving life/home/companion. Hope you are able to get another companion like her soon!
Sorry for your loss. They pass away and leave us wishing for a little more time. We lost one too. Her sister is with us and she's loved like mad. Jeep rides and hikes around the neighborhood are her happiness. I want another one. Problem is short nosed dogs, bullies in particular, don't fly. Airlines won't transport them in their holds. I stayed here during 2 cat 5 hurricanes because my dog couldn't fly off island. It was a long 2 months before we could evacuate. Delta airlines waived the health certificate, so she went no problem. And came back when the power came up. Very understanding airline, Delta.
SO TRUE. I never knew until I met Stella. She is a 10 yo hybrid Johnson (90%) and Scott. I realize how lucky we were when my sister-in-law was when she found such loving bully breeders. She hasn't had any joint or breathing issues. Still jumps off 4 ft deck and high-speed run pouncing to protect property line all day in between sun bathing and naps if you let her. She is the sweetest, stubborn, protective, intelligent, and most confident unphased dog I have ever met in my life. Very much needs her people around and to cuddle. No fucks given but will kill for her family. She is so chill. Her and cat are best friends, bully each other, and he is only animal she listens too lol. She broke her leg at one (rebuilt), is allergic to everything, ear infections, skin cancer, and kidney failure year and half ago. Given two months to live and continues to thrive. If she is dying, she sure as hell doesn't look or act like it. Her parents lived to 15-16 (crazy!) and her brother whom is like 40lbs heavier than her (she is 110lbs on average) is also still thriving. She is definitely expensive but worth it.
Love our miley mae, she is definitely the dominant one over her and our pitbull. She is the protector of our home expecially after our kids were born and raised in her home. she let's us know if someone is lingering outside the home she also let's us know some just pulled in! 10 years old and still a pup at heart loves our family
Ms. Priss was my ab. She was small too. Johnson type but only about 75lbs. I would put her up against any dog anywhere when it came to sweet loving or tough. She was a gift from a lady who bred show dogs but she had black on her muzzle & wasnt qualified to show. Best dogone dog in the world!!!
Awesome video. I have a Scott his father was from the southern white line. I made a mistake and didn't do socializing as much as I should have when he was a pup. The biggest problem I have is he is a very independent thinker. It takes a lot of effort to get him to take his attention off something and focus on something else. Extremely protective of the children especially my daughter.
They are strong willed, but they can also be unbelievably gentle at the same time. My girl, Rosie the Riveter, can go from growling, aggressive tug of war with an adult to kisses, hugs, and sliding down a playground slide with a little girl. The ability of Am Bulls to shift from hunter to soldier to nanny is one of the many things about American bulldogs that make them the most awesome breeds ever!
My Bully was rescued from being chained to a trailer…rib cage skinny & a tummy full of round worms…also had to treat him for heart worms…he was with us 3 months before he barked…ptsd was severe first 6 months…about month 7 he had a CRUCIATE ligament rupture in hind leg…$3000 surgery…I was told these dogs are prone to CLR’s…he is my beautiful boy all white w black markings…he’s a lover so I call him Bogie…can’t believe anyone would neglect & abuse such a wonderful boy…I’ve had him 9 months & he’s about 3 yrs old 😊
Yes I'm in Australia W. A an own an American Bulldog (Scott line ) magnificent dogs working an family pet our boy is exactly wat they say . Will run an hunt all day long he is at 55kg in weight very powerful not type of dog an average person with no experience in walking this breed they are always loving an very powerful an always friendly with the family an some friends but at home alone become very protective of there home an surrounding's all round great inside outside dog dominant but so great with children our boy is great with kids he loves to run an play chasey as long as the kids want his size tends to scare people an is only to i introduction to people with him do they realize how friendly an loving they really are they are very protective of his master but r an all round great breed of dog but must have stimulation an or they will become obese walking an running a minimum of hour a day. They just love to sit with family an be very happy doing this must integrate with other dogs when puppy or in older age u will have problems letting them of there leads in dog park they are alpha male meaning they want to show any breed that they r the boss thus must intergreate as a pup with all other breeds but if u r looking for a good all round dog my suggestion is get an American Bulldog preferable (Scott line) but choice is yor own ;)- thank u all for taking time out to read a little about the breed. If ud like to get a better idea Google history of the American Bulldog (scottline )
Someone I know, has a male 12 week old American bull dog pup in foster at the moment, and he was rescued by a woman whose boyfriend was training him in dog fighting, he has already shown signs of dog aggression, but he’s a beauty. White and gray. I want him so bad, but I know I wouldn’t be able to handle him. But the American bulldog is definitely one of my dream dogs later on in life.
Great video. I trained my first AB in Schutzhund, weight pulling, hog catching, and iron dog. Same experience. Worked all out hard when I needed him to, and when we were done he went home and played with the cats.
Mine would love to have a cat to play with. None of them are that stupid, to play with her, but she'd love it. Live squeaky toys rule. We have mongoose and 4-5 ft. Iguana here. They don't hang around.
My bulldog that I got from Alan Scott os friendly with cats and just wants to play. That’s until the cat decides to bow up on her and slap. Then all bets are off.
Another fine video here. Some folks may look at a bulldog such as an American bulldog or a American pit bulldog and see a dog that cannot do well in, or perform at all in, things like French Ring and other fields outside of what they were designed to do. Like this video shows us, that belief is definitely not the case as we hear about some very accomplished bulldogs. It is true that bulldogs such as these and others are catch dogs at their core, and most would agree that catch work is the work that best suits them (understandable seeing how that is what they were designed for), but they show their promise in different areas as well. American bulldogs are some mighty fine dogs, much respect to them. Not only should their power, drive, and grit be respected, but their well-roundedness and overall concept. They have quite a bit of range. Not only that, but they can love just as well as they work as a family companion.
I assume that by "American pit bull dog" you mean APBT. If is is that the case then the mental difference between them and an american bulldog is big. American bulldogs are overall more mastiff like.The terriers used to create APBTs, english bull terrier, Staffordshire bull terrier and Amstaffs is what separate them from the american bulldog, mainly. It is quite easy to notice when it comes to their mindset to anyone who has owned them, especially at the same time. An american bulldog is A LOT more trustable in public environments in most cases in the sense that you are ( even though they are bigger animals) more capable of controlling them. In the other cases, once the full terrier mode kicks in, good luck with stopping them. My point is that an american bulldog is more suitable for the human peace of mind when it comes to the unexpected ( cats, other dogs, etc), being the APBT more complicated due to the many crossings of different mastiff breeds and terriers and reason why you have so many cases of senseless attacks on human beings that so many seem no to understand.The topic is more extensive but I will leave it at that.
I miss my American Bulldog, Brandon. The thing with him was I would do bite work with him, than take him to the lake to go swimming, he was good with people and other dog's. Than I could take him to the hospital to go visit children who were sick, they loved Brandon, than I could take him to Petco, Home Depot or wherever with no problems. I could leave him in my house, he wouldn't chew up anything. Yet at night, don't even think about trespassing at my place, he wouldn't let anybody come on the property. I was thinking about getting another AB.
best dog i have ever had the pleasure of owning.proud,gentle,protective,sweet natured,fun loving,loves to be around his human friendswill play nicely with other dogs unless provoked.great dog,very emotional,get the shits when ignored loves food,just a really great mate,one of the best friends I have ever had.Like him more than a lot of humans,and tends to think that he is human.Weighs 60 kilo,and a real big sook,love the breed,very misunderstood regards their aggressiveness.great natured until threatened,then the power of these animals stands out.love him.
Yanked my boy out of the shelter as a malnourished 1 year old. I’d never seen a dog quite like him- tall, long legs, huge head, all white with spotting and Dalmatian ears, and a black patch over his eye. To me he looked like an overgrown pit bull. Did my research and he’s definitely a hybrid/standard. Filled out to be over 80 ibs but he looks 90 and runs like the wind. Pretty sweet, quiet, calm but super athletic and goofy, loves to play with most other dogs. Bulldogs are known to be impish and he is an absolute killer and fierce guard dog. They are incredibly loyal to their owner. I will be adopting a female soon. I recommend everybody who is thinking about getting a dog if you are an active and confident person go to your local shelter and check out any ‘bull’ breed. They are a lot of work and headstrong/need a strong leader. I grew up owning an Australian Shepard and golden retrievers, 90 % of the people I knew had these breeds or Bernese, gsds, poodles etc. Bulldogs specifically are my favorite breed at this point fit my lifestyle perfectly.
You can tell those dogs totally trust him, and therefore will do anything he asks of them. The tight bond is formed early and re-enforced often. So sweet to see it in action. I am a disabled veteran and am looking for a new service dog. I was thinking maybe a Doberman or an American Bullie.
I recommend either an American Bulldog or a South African Boerboel. I like the Bulldog because they can be so docile that they literally don't back down to any threat its magnificent to have around you they literally fight for your life. As for the Boerboel Same similar deal only this breed has been bred strictly Killer to Killer for 400 years and the very survival of the Afrikaner relied on this breeding practice they had no use for color or looks the Boerboel was a Tool used to defend the Homes and Farm against all of the wild animals of South Africa be them man or other. Hope that helps your decision.
I got a american bulldog x old English bulldogge and he was the best thing I have ever done . Hes my life now 💯💯 such an amazing dog that give so much love .
I think I had a scott.. she was the love of my life. Sadly she had hip dysplasia and only made it 7 and a half before I had to lef her go due to pain. This was a while back. Maybe 10 years ago.. and there wasn't any type of hip surgery, or at least not where I lived. But anyway. Amazing dog. Sweet, calm, and obedient.
Man, you rock , very nice articulated video..very down to earth and no hypes that is what is killing our breed. This is the type of bulldog that people should be breeding,not the type that sell more. Good luck man. Keep up the good work.
Good vid, just lost my 140lb guy I had 10 years and immediately rescued another. The popularity explosion of the breed has made it easy to find real 1s at the county kennel that need experienced AB owners. Wish I had your land, Id have a pack!
My husband bought our family a white johnson line american bulldog 6 years ago. Sugar is her name , she is the best thing that ever happened to us. My partner who sugar loved dearly suddenly passed away on the 02/12/2022, and she is actually emotionally greiving. Sugar has her own youtube channel and you see her emotions. AMERICAN BULLDOGS FOR LIFE......💖💖💖💙💙💙
After growing up with Rotties I decided to get a American Bulldog and I now own two and will never own another breed. Ones a Johnson she’s 80lbs and one is a Scott who is a pup but should be around 125lbs. They are stubborn but are so loyal and hard workers for those who are loyal to them.
I had an American Bulldog hybrid, Scott with the fill of a Johnson, massive shoulders but tapered down to smaller Scott type hind quarters. Head was like a Scott but with brindle Johnson markings, one patch over half of head and brindle back, white legs. Beautiful markings. Definitely a lot of fun but very demanding and messy with the drool. Great companions and temperament.
I have a frenchie and I love him above everything but.. Now I know what dog ppl mean when they say its not a healthy dog breed. My little Guy has issues with breathing (operation scheduled) but perfect in everything else, but still it is a huge problem during summer.. so American bulldog with longer muzzles is what im looking for now :) love these dogos!
i have a scots american bulldog i rescued he has health problems but i have no problems hes so loyal and he gets on with my cats they all sleep together and get on fantastic dogs
We got our 3 years ago From petco We went to the store for our other dogs and we saw him there in a pen several times . We ask the worker what the deal with him ? She said someone dropped him off to get groomed and they never came back for him So we arranged to adopt him And we got him a week later He is great dog!
I have both types Johnson and Scott; they are extremely smart and obedient. They have pit bull type drive but a little more laid back and can easily be trained to be less animal aggressive. I use them to guard my chickens from stray dogs that like nothing more than to sneak in and kill chickens. The video describes the difference between the two types, the Johnson is more laid back and a better guard dog and have that hilarious Bulldog personality. The Scott type are hot and dog aggressive , they live to catch hogs or whatever you throw in front of them. Great Dogs , I have many breeds and have had many more.
I adopted a Scott-type and he is my 1st all Scott Bully (my previous boy who passed last year was Johnson/English bully mix). I have him on a effective exercise regime but he is still fussy at night and constantly wanting to play. Any tips to help him chill?
pittbull amer. bulldog cross, so protective. color was White with brown brindle patches. Looked like slightly taller amer, bull with straight muzzle > He was so protective of house and who ever fed him. Died from acute heart attack at 9 yoa, sorely missed
We adopted a 1 year old American Bulldog, she's predominantly white with a black eye patch on her right side and she's the best dog we've had, the only problem is she jumps the fence and sprints around the neighborhood
Joe Painter created great American Bulldogs. Seems people try to write him out of history cuz he was more of an outlaw but he and a couple others laid out the "bullprint" for hybrids They all out crossed in order resurrect the breed. Joe Painter had some amazing dogs. Look them up.
When he said they have a hard time coming out of the red zone back to green i just nodded. My wife and i talk about bella and her switch flipping lol. Once her switch is flipped it takes a bit of calm talking to turn it back off. Yelling at a bulldog in that state doesnt work. They need to see you are calm so they k ow they can be calm
Thank you, thank you, thank you Kraig Guay for promoting the Bulldog that can work and has good health. I am with you on the Hybrid to performance. Although the hybrids that posses that undershot face are not desirable for my purposes. Undershot is the beginning of the
My guy is a Scott/Johnson mix, but takes after his mamma, so he looks Scott. He is a goofball that loves people. He also plays hard and is very protective of me. He is such a big baby too! I love him to bits.
, my name is Sandra and I recently went to a shelter to adopt an American Bulldog he was one-year-old he's such a sweet personality his personality matches mine he I just love this little guy checking out for a run walked in around and went back with him and told the manager I definitely want to adopt him while she screwed me out of getting him she despitefully and so rudely treated me with such disrespect and provoke me into anger she lied to me and told me that because she couldn't get ahold of my landlord I couldn't have the dog I applied and I was there first I gave them everything that they wanted the persons that they look like they leave feces in the pan so the poor little dogs have to sit in the garbage and I reported them to the Attorney General's office that was looking at the dog was tapping his teeth that told me dog fighting something is not right
They were probably looking out for the good of society. It's not a good situation when the potential adopter isn't as intelligent of such an intelligent as well as strong of mind and body strong dog.
American bulldogs are some fine dogs indeed. Basically everything folks want in a working bulldog. They also have a mighty interesting history/origin that probably plays a part in that. As one well-known author, historian, and bulldog fancier, Diane Jessup, writes on the breed in one of her books: "A breed that, until the late 1980s, was virtually unheard of, this breed was made from existing lines of large pit bulldogs during the eighties to attract the novice Pit bulldog owner who thought 'bigger is better.' Pit bulldogs which survived and developed along unique lines in secluded Southern states. Some lines of American bulldog are pit bulls crossed with any of a half dozen large mastiff-type breeds." Very sturdy, and well-rounded dogs. Not to step on anyone's toes, but I would fancy the Scott type American bulldog over the Johnson. The Scott type, at least to me, embodies the true spirit and ability of working/purpose bulldogs a bit more than the Johnson and have greater agility and higher levels of drive. They are closer to pit bulldogs in their build and work ethic and really do show that bigger is not necessarily better.
I disagree. Although the breed of course has a few pitbulls in it's history, I believe it predominantly descends from the old Boxer bulldog. Dick the Bruiser didn't look like any pitbull I've ever seen and clearly predates the 1980s.
Yes. IMO Dick the Bruiser was exemplary of this type in shape if not in size. Not a coincidence that six million Germans migrated to the US in the century up to WWI.
Swell Character, ''"A breed that, until the late 1980s, was virtually unheard of, this breed was made from existing lines of large pit bulldogs during the eighties to attract the novice Pit bulldog owner who thought 'bigger is better.' Pit bulldogs which survived and developed along unique lines in secluded Southern states. Some lines of American bulldog are pit bulls crossed with any of a half dozen large mastiff-type breeds." That's not true. They were almost extinct until Johnson & Scott made them popular again. They went through most of Southern USA to find & repopulate the dogs. That was their mission because the dog almost went extinct. To say they were bred to make them more appealing to the novice Pit Bulldog owner is waay of the mark. There's a lot of things that lady has got wrong regarding dogs & this is another one. They were NOT bred to appeal to Pit Bulldog owners. That's very WRONG! Just read about the history of Johnson & Scott American Bulldogs. It's very different to what that lady says...... They actually come from Old English Bulldogs. Whether they've been mixed with Mastiffs I'm unsure as they have a different look to Old English Bulldogs. But it was OEB's that the people took over from England when emigrating to America. They wouldn't have been strictly mixed with Pit Bulldogs because that would've made them smaller, & AmBulldogs are generally bigger than the OEB's..... Nah dude, that lady has been wrong on a number of occasions, especially on game APBT's.
Swell Character pitbull dogs are not a brees "pit" is merely a category type of dog that reffered to several breeds that were fought in the pits..... Bull dogs, terriers(certain ones),staffies, all are pitbull dogs. I'll say this once. The american pitbull is the only dog with pitbull officially in its name. No other dog has pit bull. The staffordshire is not the same as a american pit bull and the only reason these dogs favor american pitbulls in the slightest is because all the pit breeds come from the same categories of dog by either mixing a bull dog with certain terrior or mixing certain terriers wit staff. Or mixing bull dog with staff. All the dogs will have similar tell tell characteristics of the crossing thus why only certain breeds are deemed pitdogs. If you have no staffy,terrier, or bulldog(bull dog is the original line to all the pit type dogs) you don't have a pitbull type and if its not a american pitbull you do not have the official "pit"
3:28 “He!” Is what an American Bulldog Perfection looks like! I couldn’t care less about making my AB fo French ring work, or any other of that HorseShit.. just give me a 125-135lb Make Jonson Line AB & I’m happy
The bulldog's skin at special points has therapeutic effects and treats tumors. Hair has a special kind of electricity that cures many diseases.Bulldog is a unique breed in the world.

Love the scott type
The only way you can really understand, is having one. Best thing that ever happened to me. 🤘
Same here
Exactly.
@DECIMUS MAXIMUS is she hybrid, standard, sport or johnson?
Ain’t that the truth. Those who know... know. Absolutely unstoppable drive when they flip that switch... but the most sensitive, intuitive and loving family companions. The best friend you could ever have. However they do require physical exertion and daily physical activity. This is a working breed dog that does require a lot from the owner. Do not buy a bulldog and stick him in a condo all day
Totally agree I actually had the opportunity to get a dogo argentino and there so similar especially to the Scott type there’s so much more information on AmBD and since it so similar to my friends I watch em for hints and info.
We adopted a dog 3 weeks ago from a shelter in Newark, NJ, it was advertised as a pit bull terrier. She was big, 75lbs, white with brindle markings on front and hind quarters and small patches of faint black on her enormous head. I knew she was a Standard American bull dog and yanked her out of there for $200. 3 years old and very gentile, I truly lucked out.
They are very good with kids our dog had to deal with three little kids and she never left they side I think she thought it was her job to protect them. I miss her
U can tell straight away if the dog is a Bully if he has an over shot bottom jaw an flaps in between hind legs over shot jaw means the dogs bottom jaw is over the top jaw by a centremeter or so an short snout 3inches max Pittys have over bite same as us an all other breeds anPittys have longer Snout an the bulldog would be more thicker then putty . But best way is check the bottom jaw if it is longer an over shot the top jaw u have a bully breed ;)--

Hell ya you did
The American Bulldog is the best breed I have ever owned or worked with. I had a shelter dog , American Bulldog, who was a five year dog considered unadoptable . He looked like a perfect American Pit Bull and he was white with grey patches. Over the years he protected my wife twice from attacks by dogs (both times by German Shepard mix). He also stopped a burglar cold who was in our house when we came home. He held the guy and suffered a beating until I got to him. He lived until age 15. I now have two American Bulldogs and an Alapaha Blue Bulldog ( smaller American Bulldog, very smart and easy to train) and two pit bulls. We have no aggression problems and all live in my house with my family. The American Bulldog is the best family dog I know of. Yours look beautiful.
My American Bulldog crossed the Rainbow Bridge almost three years ago at the age of 10 & not a day goes by that I don't miss him. He was gentle w/everyone we loved but was all business when he sensed something was wrong. Maybe once my heartache subsides, I'll get another one❤❤❤😥😥😥
Sorry for your loss. We've lost one too. Its wrenching. Don't wait too long to get another baby. They need good owners who care for and properly raise them. There's an ab fur baby who needs you. Puppies help focus your grief and work out the heartache. They're ok loving you till you can love them back. And if you call them by your old dogs name by accident, and sit down for a little cry, they lick up your tears.
Just had to put mine down after 12.5 years rip Lincoln ... the best breed in the world !! This was the best description of the breed ever !! Thank you!
Sorry for your loss😢 lost my first baby 4 months ago. She also was 12.5 years.R.i.p Noira ♡ Love the breed♡
We had to put one of ours down. Her sister almost didn't make the transition. It was tough for me, too. Our little frenchie stepped in. Love these dogs. Sweet as can be from the start. Great hikers, ocean wave lovers, cuddle pros. Ready to play or nap on my exercise mat while I attempt exercise. Mine don't like hats. Too funny. We miss our Caddie girl. She's waiting in heaven, no doubt being a goofball.
These dogs are so amazing.. I miss my American bulldog so much.
Cowboy's father was a Johnson his mother was a Scot tea with my service dog for 7 years I'm 57 years old and I'll never find a better friend than him the most amazing breed in the whole world
@DECIMUS MAXIMUS I have a 7 month standard American Bulldog pup and he's smallest male of his litter at 63 lbs and it's the same thing. He has a deep growl and bark and death stare, however people just think he's a big pitbull puppy 🤦🏽
Love mine with all my heart! He is a Johnson and Scott (dad/mom). Very smart , and a huge lover.
My best buddy was an American Bulldog, he passed away 21 September 2019. He can never be replaced, but he earned another AmBull a cushy home like he had. Just have to find the right one.
I just lost my American Bulldog, Bogey. He was great with kids and loved kittens and puppies. I have no doubt he would have given his life for me. I thought I got lucky when I rescued him, but I hear over and over that this breed is a great family dog and protector.
We by chance rescued a dog from someone I worked with, man it turned out to be an American Bulldog, man you couldn't ask for a better dog, astonishingly smart, intuitive, loving, loyal, and the best damn guard dog I've ever had or encountered. I just can't say or brag enough on this dog, she's our Miss Bella Snoop Dog !! She's Loved Deeply !! I am a devout American Bulldog owner for life, Best Breed Ever !!
Grace Hurd we rescued an American Bulldog female last September. They are amazing dogs. Love her to death!
Grace Hurd same here! There’s a picture of my boy here, unfortunately I lost him about a month ago. I was DEVASTATED, still am which is why I had to get another AB companion.
Sorry to hear you lost your beloved dog, glad you got another one, they are genuinely the best Breed Ever !!
Grace Hurd I agree COMPLETELY! I have to honestly admit that I was boo hooing like a BABY, he was only 7 and it was unexpected, started throwing up and 5 days later he was gone!
Also saved one he was very malnurished, now he is a healthy weight and very happy to be in a loving home. Wanting to do more with him though obedience and exercise wise.
We have 3 AB. Two are Scott and one is Johnson/Scott hybrid. We love our babies!! They are definitely protective over us.
Awesome!!!
I don't think this guy got lucky; he knows what he's doing with these dogs.
Need more breeders and trainers like him... Most versatile dogs I've come across
Americana Bulldog2 Yep
he's not breeding american bulldogs
Then what is he breeding sharts, you watch the video?
Please do a show specifically for the Scott type American bulldog! And how they compare to other working breeds such as Rottweiler/Shepard’s!
We have an American bulldog and she is amazing! Amazing with our kids too!
Had mine for 13 years, Johnson female. Best dog for me ever. Well behaved, loyal, goofy. Naps a lot
I have a 9 month old American bulldog , 72lbs. She is very protective of our home. She has never ever hurt anyone. But she definitely let's people know she is checking you out before you step foot past the porch area.
I had two, o' southern white, American bulldogs. Two brothers and they are/ were amazing. When my wife was pregnant, they followed her around. They would sleep, with their head on her belly, until I came home from work. They could run 15 miles and jump over the bed of my truck. Someone tried to break into my house, he was met by a 115 pound bulldog, who jump through the open window to stop him. Born to protect, work and love. They are true, tender warriors, and adore being in a family.
Amazing animals! My wife and I rescued a American Bulldog. was severely abused. Terrified of people!
progress is slow but she is progressing. She's a beautiful dog inside and out. wonderful animals.
Thank you for the history.
I adopted my boy from the shelter. They had marked him down to $5, because nobody had looked at him because of his size. I love him so much. He was definitely abused, but trusted me from the start.
I Really like these dogs Great breed 😎
We have a Johnson aggressive but also very loving and loyal. We love him to pieces
I adopted a girl from a shelter. They said boxer but I knew better. Didnthe doggy DNA amd she's an American bulldog. Such a good girl. She loves evwryine in my hoise, including 4 cats and 2 rats. She is my girl. She's go the short muzzle. She was found living on thenstreet and was incredibly thin. She is now about a 100# girl. She's getting old and slow, bit that's ok, so am I! Would definitely have another! One of the best dogs I have ever had!
Keep doing videos on American bulldogs! I love these dogs
My American bulldog had just turned 9weeks I love him so much
Kraig, great video and information and thanks for posting. Until 10 years ago I had never heard of an American Bulldog, but an abandoned one showed up at our house on December 31, 2008. We named her Athena and she was the best dog I ever had. Our Vet. estimated Athena to be about 10 months old and she weighted 88 LBS at the time. She grew to a beautiful 130 LBS bulldog and was a great family pet. Athena was loved by all. Unfortunately, she got cancer in her left hind leg and we had to euthanize her on Nov. 12, 2018. Broke my heart. For anyone interested in seeing photos of her and a read about her story, internet search Athena - American Bulldog Tribute. I did her tribute to shed light on this great breed and to possibly reach anyone thinking about a rescue American Bulldog. They are GREAT dogs and I'll be getting another one soon. David G.
Sorry for your loss. Great Tribute video. It looks like she had a loving life/home/companion. Hope you are able to get another companion like her soon!
Sorry for your loss. They pass away and leave us wishing for a little more time. We lost one too. Her sister is with us and she's loved like mad. Jeep rides and hikes around the neighborhood are her happiness. I want another one. Problem is short nosed dogs, bullies in particular, don't fly. Airlines won't transport them in their holds. I stayed here during 2 cat 5 hurricanes because my dog couldn't fly off island. It was a long 2 months before we could evacuate. Delta airlines waived the health certificate, so she went no problem. And came back when the power came up. Very understanding airline, Delta.
SO TRUE. I never knew until I met Stella. She is a 10 yo hybrid Johnson (90%) and Scott. I realize how lucky we were when my sister-in-law was when she found such loving bully breeders. She hasn't had any joint or breathing issues. Still jumps off 4 ft deck and high-speed run pouncing to protect property line all day in between sun bathing and naps if you let her. She is the sweetest, stubborn, protective, intelligent, and most confident unphased dog I have ever met in my life. Very much needs her people around and to cuddle. No fucks given but will kill for her family. She is so chill. Her and cat are best friends, bully each other, and he is only animal she listens too lol. She broke her leg at one (rebuilt), is allergic to everything, ear infections, skin cancer, and kidney failure year and half ago. Given two months to live and continues to thrive. If she is dying, she sure as hell doesn't look or act like it. Her parents lived to 15-16 (crazy!) and her brother whom is like 40lbs heavier than her (she is 110lbs on average) is also still thriving. She is definitely expensive but worth it.
Love our miley mae, she is definitely the dominant one over her and our pitbull. She is the protector of our home expecially after our kids were born and raised in her home. she let's us know if someone is lingering outside the home she also let's us know some just pulled in! 10 years old and still a pup at heart loves our family
i miss my 2 american bulldogs 1male johnson 1female scott such smart dogs and loyal as hell
Ms. Priss was my ab. She was small too. Johnson type but only about 75lbs. I would put her up against any dog anywhere when it came to sweet loving or tough. She was a gift from a lady who bred show dogs but she had black on her muzzle & wasnt qualified to show. Best dogone dog in the world!!!
75 lb Johnson is real small never seen or heard of em that small
Awesome video. I have a Scott his father was from the southern white line. I made a mistake and didn't do socializing as much as I should have when he was a pup. The biggest problem I have is he is a very independent thinker. It takes a lot of effort to get him to take his attention off something and focus on something else. Extremely protective of the children especially my daughter.
They are strong willed, but they can also be unbelievably gentle at the same time. My girl, Rosie the Riveter, can go from growling, aggressive tug of war with an adult to kisses, hugs, and sliding down a playground slide with a little girl. The ability of Am Bulls to shift from hunter to soldier to nanny is one of the many things about American bulldogs that make them the most awesome breeds ever!
My Bully was rescued from being chained to a trailer…rib cage skinny & a tummy full of round worms…also had to treat him for heart worms…he was with us 3 months before he barked…ptsd was severe first 6 months…about month 7 he had a CRUCIATE ligament rupture in hind leg…$3000 surgery…I was told these dogs are prone to CLR’s…he is my beautiful boy all white w black markings…he’s a lover so I call him Bogie…can’t believe anyone would neglect & abuse such a wonderful boy…I’ve had him 9 months & he’s about 3 yrs old 😊
Yes I'm in Australia W. A an own an American Bulldog (Scott line ) magnificent dogs working an family pet our boy is exactly wat they say . Will run an hunt all day long he is at 55kg in weight very powerful not type of dog an average person with no experience in walking this breed they are always loving an very powerful an always friendly with the family an some friends but at home alone become very protective of there home an surrounding's all round great inside outside dog dominant but so great with children our boy is great with kids he loves to run an play chasey as long as the kids want his size tends to scare people an is only to i introduction to people with him do they realize how friendly an loving they really are they are very protective of his master but r an all round great breed of dog but must have stimulation an or they will become obese walking an running a minimum of hour a day. They just love to sit with family an be very happy doing this must integrate with other dogs when puppy or in older age u will have problems letting them of there leads in dog park they are alpha male meaning they want to show any breed that they r the boss thus must intergreate as a pup with all other breeds but if u r looking for a good all round dog my suggestion is get an American Bulldog preferable (Scott line) but choice is yor own ;)- thank u all for taking time out to read a little about the breed. If ud like to get a better idea Google history of the American Bulldog (scottline )
Someone I know, has a male 12 week old American bull dog pup in foster at the moment, and he was rescued by a woman whose boyfriend was training him in dog fighting, he has already shown signs of dog aggression, but he’s a beauty. White and gray. I want him so bad, but I know I wouldn’t be able to handle him. But the American bulldog is definitely one of my dream dogs later on in life.
Great video. I trained my first AB in Schutzhund, weight pulling, hog catching, and iron dog. Same experience. Worked all out hard when I needed him to, and when we were done he went home and played with the cats.
Mine would love to have a cat to play with. None of them are that stupid, to play with her, but she'd love it. Live squeaky toys rule. We have mongoose and 4-5 ft. Iguana here. They don't hang around.
My bulldog that I got from Alan Scott os friendly with cats and just wants to play. That’s until the cat decides to bow up on her and slap. Then all bets are off.
That red light green light with these guys is so true lol.
Spectacular dogs, we've had two pure bred and a half pit/half AB. Big sweethearts, big goofballs, velcro dogs.
such sweet and hard working dogs
You Can't Stop The Scout team
Another fine video here. Some folks may look at a bulldog such as an American bulldog or a American pit bulldog and see a dog that cannot do well in, or perform at all in, things like French Ring and other fields outside of what they were designed to do. Like this video shows us, that belief is definitely not the case as we hear about some very accomplished bulldogs. It is true that bulldogs such as these and others are catch dogs at their core, and most would agree that catch work is the work that best suits them (understandable seeing how that is what they were designed for), but they show their promise in different areas as well. American bulldogs are some mighty fine dogs, much respect to them. Not only should their power, drive, and grit be respected, but their well-roundedness and overall concept. They have quite a bit of range. Not only that, but they can love just as well as they work as a family companion.
I assume that by "American pit bull dog" you mean APBT. If is is that the case then the mental difference between them and an american bulldog is big. American bulldogs are overall more mastiff like.The terriers used to create APBTs, english bull terrier, Staffordshire bull terrier and Amstaffs is what separate them from the american bulldog, mainly. It is quite easy to notice when it comes to their mindset to anyone who has owned them, especially at the same time. An american bulldog is A LOT more trustable in public environments in most cases in the sense that you are ( even though they are bigger animals) more capable of controlling them. In the other cases, once the full terrier mode kicks in, good luck with stopping them. My point is that an american bulldog is more suitable for the human peace of mind when it comes to the unexpected ( cats, other dogs, etc), being the APBT more complicated due to the many crossings of different mastiff breeds and terriers and reason why you have so many cases of senseless attacks on human beings that so many seem no to understand.The topic is more extensive but I will leave it at that.
Scott actually is almost like a apbt just bigger and better
I miss my American Bulldog, Brandon. The thing with him was I would do bite work with him, than take him to the lake to go swimming, he was good with people and other dog's. Than I could take him to the hospital to go visit children who were sick, they loved Brandon, than I could take him to Petco, Home Depot or wherever with no problems. I could leave him in my house, he wouldn't chew up anything.
Yet at night, don't even think about trespassing at my place, he wouldn't let anybody come on the property. I was thinking about getting another AB.
Best breed ever :)
best dog i have ever had the pleasure of owning.proud,gentle,protective,sweet natured,fun loving,loves to be around his human friendswill play nicely with other dogs unless provoked.great dog,very emotional,get the shits when ignored loves food,just a really great mate,one of the best friends I have ever had.Like him more than a lot of humans,and tends to think that he is human.Weighs 60 kilo,and a real big sook,love the breed,very misunderstood regards their aggressiveness.great natured until threatened,then the power of these animals stands out.love him.
I’ve just bought one 6mths old pure white with a small mark on his ear but they are gorgeous
davy carr What do u have a girl? And what kind, Johnson or Scott, or Old Southern White?
Aaron A. Dubz Person you trying to breed ?
Yanked my boy out of the shelter as a malnourished 1 year old. I’d never seen a dog quite like him- tall, long legs, huge head, all white with spotting and Dalmatian ears, and a black patch over his eye. To me he looked like an overgrown pit bull. Did my research and he’s definitely a hybrid/standard. Filled out to be over 80 ibs but he looks 90 and runs like the wind. Pretty sweet, quiet, calm but super athletic and goofy, loves to play with most other dogs. Bulldogs are known to be impish and he is an absolute killer and fierce guard dog. They are incredibly loyal to their owner. I will be adopting a female soon. I recommend everybody who is thinking about getting a dog if you are an active and confident person go to your local shelter and check out any ‘bull’ breed. They are a lot of work and headstrong/need a strong leader. I grew up owning an Australian Shepard and golden retrievers, 90 % of the people I knew had these breeds or Bernese, gsds, poodles etc. Bulldogs specifically are my favorite breed at this point fit my lifestyle perfectly.
If your dog doesn’t have paperwork it’s automatically a mutt.
That’s a perfect American bulldog
You can tell those dogs totally trust him, and therefore will do anything he asks of them. The tight bond is formed early and re-enforced often. So sweet to see it in action.
I am a disabled veteran and am looking for a new service dog. I was thinking maybe a Doberman or an American Bullie.
I recommend either an American Bulldog or a South African Boerboel.
I like the Bulldog because they can be so docile that they literally don't back down to any threat its magnificent to have around you they literally fight for your life.
As for the Boerboel Same similar deal only this breed has been bred strictly Killer to Killer for 400 years and the very survival of the Afrikaner relied on this breeding practice they had no use for color or looks the Boerboel was a Tool used to defend the Homes and Farm against all of the wild animals of South Africa be them man or other.
Hope that helps your decision.
Absolutely love your videos and the information you provide in them, I'm a new subscriber and a owner of the Working American Bulldog !
I love my bulldog 👊🏻 simply my best friend.
Plus, that bulldog smile. Nothing like it.
Hermosa raza, protectores, bravos, fuertes, pero a la vez amorosos, equilibrados y leales
Spot On , Truly a Magnificent Breed .
No hesitation , No fear , there tenacity is legendary , a jester
I just got to meet mr scott and picked up a pup.hes amazing.
I got a american bulldog x old English bulldogge and he was the best thing I have ever done . Hes my life now 💯💯 such an amazing dog that give so much love .
I love my American Bulldog Rusty 🐶❤️
American Bulldogs are the most versatile dog in my opinion. . . Thanks for sharing ! ! !
I am a really! Very big dog lover and puppy lover forever and ever ❤❣️💌💟💝💖💗💓🩷💜💚🧡💛🩵💙💕💞
I think I had a scott.. she was the love of my life. Sadly she had hip dysplasia and only made it 7 and a half before I had to lef her go due to pain. This was a while back. Maybe 10 years ago.. and there wasn't any type of hip surgery, or at least not where I lived. But anyway. Amazing dog. Sweet, calm, and obedient.
Man, you rock , very nice articulated video..very down to earth and no hypes that is what is killing our breed. This is the type of bulldog that people should be breeding,not the type that sell more. Good luck man. Keep up the good work.
Good vid, just lost my 140lb guy I had 10 years and immediately rescued another. The popularity explosion of the breed has made it easy to find real 1s at the county kennel that need experienced AB owners. Wish I had your land, Id have a pack!
My favorite the Scott type
Best dog on world... All in one ❤
My husband bought our family a white johnson line american bulldog 6 years ago. Sugar is her name , she is the best thing that ever happened to us. My partner who sugar loved dearly suddenly passed away on the 02/12/2022, and she is actually emotionally greiving. Sugar has her own youtube channel and you see her emotions.
AMERICAN BULLDOGS FOR LIFE......💖💖💖💙💙💙
After growing up with Rotties I decided to get a American Bulldog and I now own two and will never own another breed. Ones a Johnson she’s 80lbs and one is a Scott who is a pup but should be around 125lbs. They are stubborn but are so loyal and hard workers for those who are loyal to them.
American bulldogs are amazing i love my bulldog
Beautiful dogs and a great caring breeder.. Very nice.!
Keep them lean keep them alive. Love these dogs. Sweet dogs.
Some day I want a lady America bull dog to baby.
I had an American Bulldog hybrid, Scott with the fill of a Johnson, massive shoulders but tapered down to smaller Scott type hind quarters. Head was like a Scott but with brindle Johnson markings, one patch over half of head and brindle back, white legs. Beautiful markings. Definitely a lot of fun but very demanding and messy with the drool. Great companions and temperament.
Thank you for showing all these dog breeds so I definitely know what kind a dog I want now.
True American Bulldogs are better than this
more personality. almost human like. most these dogs shown are pits
Sharphet P. Hornblower no pits are a lot leaner these are too stocky
I have a frenchie and I love him above everything but.. Now I know what dog ppl mean when they say its not a healthy dog breed. My little Guy has issues with breathing (operation scheduled) but perfect in everything else, but still it is a huge problem during summer.. so American bulldog with longer muzzles is what im looking for now :) love these dogos!
Great vid. Love my AB
i have a scots american bulldog i rescued he has health problems but i have no problems hes so loyal and he gets on with my cats they all sleep together and get on fantastic dogs
We got our 3 years ago
From petco
We went to the store for our other dogs and we saw him there in a pen several times .
We ask the worker what the deal with him ?
She said someone dropped him off to get groomed and they never came back for him
So we arranged to adopt him
And we got him a week later
He is great dog!
Beautiful dogs!!
When is Animal planet gonna give you a ☎ call 👍 2 do a show ✌
hopefully he doesn't need Animal Planet. I'd like to see the man get paid real well but the fact this isn't on network TV makes it better for me.
dogumentary would make more money on netflix....

Best dogs in the world
Awesome Dog breed !!
My Johnson bulldog is a straight up killer but she also is the most lovable dog. She's a protector above anything else and my daughter's love her.
The video so nice, it was uploaded twice.
Actually there was a typo in the title, so I wanted to correct it. :)
Bulldogs are Awesome
Perfect closing statement!! great video 👏👏👏
would not trade my American Bulldog for the world. Best dog i have ever owned Period. You didn't get lucky with your dogs sir. They are all heart.
Thank you for this video ☺️
I have a 5month old Amercian bully x pit and he looks just like him just more brindle patches
Another excellent video.
I have both types Johnson and Scott; they are extremely smart and obedient. They have pit bull type drive but a little more laid back and can easily be trained to be less animal aggressive. I use them to guard my chickens from stray dogs that like nothing more than to sneak in and kill chickens. The video describes the difference between the two types, the Johnson is more laid back and a better guard dog and have that hilarious Bulldog personality. The Scott type are hot and dog aggressive , they live to catch hogs or whatever you throw in front of them. Great Dogs , I have many breeds and have had many more.
I adopted a Scott-type and he is my 1st all Scott Bully (my previous boy who passed last year was Johnson/English bully mix). I have him on a effective exercise regime but he is still fussy at night and constantly wanting to play. Any tips to help him chill?
pittbull amer. bulldog cross, so protective. color was White with brown brindle patches. Looked like slightly taller amer, bull with straight muzzle > He was so protective of house and who ever fed him. Died from acute heart attack at 9 yoa, sorely missed
We adopted a 1 year old American Bulldog, she's predominantly white with a black eye patch on her right side and she's the best dog we've had, the only problem is she jumps the fence and sprints around the neighborhood
I love mine
Joe Painter created great American Bulldogs. Seems people try to write him out of history cuz he was more of an outlaw but he and a couple others laid out the "bullprint" for hybrids They all out crossed in order resurrect the breed. Joe Painter had some amazing dogs. Look them up.
When he said they have a hard time coming out of the red zone back to green i just nodded. My wife and i talk about bella and her switch flipping lol. Once her switch is flipped it takes a bit of calm talking to turn it back off. Yelling at a bulldog in that state doesnt work. They need to see you are calm so they k ow they can be calm
Thank you, thank you, thank you Kraig Guay for promoting the Bulldog that can work and has good health. I am with you on the Hybrid to performance. Although the hybrids that posses that undershot face are not desirable for my purposes. Undershot is the beginning of the
My guy is a Scott/Johnson mix, but takes after his mamma, so he looks Scott. He is a goofball that loves people. He also plays hard and is very protective of me. He is such a big baby too! I love him to bits.
ab's all the way !
locdabtv FACTS!!!
Factuals
, my name is Sandra and I recently went to a shelter to adopt an American Bulldog he was one-year-old he's such a sweet personality his personality matches mine he I just love this little guy checking out for a run walked in around and went back with him and told the manager I definitely want to adopt him while she screwed me out of getting him she despitefully and so rudely treated me with such disrespect and provoke me into anger she lied to me and told me that because she couldn't get ahold of my landlord I couldn't have the dog I applied and I was there first I gave them everything that they wanted the persons that they look like they leave feces in the pan so the poor little dogs have to sit in the garbage and I reported them to the Attorney General's office that was looking at the dog was tapping his teeth that told me dog fighting something is not right
They were probably looking out for the good of society. It's not a good situation when the potential adopter isn't as intelligent of such an intelligent as well as strong of mind and body strong dog.
American bulldogs are some fine dogs indeed. Basically everything folks want in a working bulldog. They also have a mighty interesting history/origin that probably plays a part in that. As one well-known author, historian, and bulldog fancier, Diane Jessup, writes on the breed in one of her books:
"A breed that, until the late 1980s, was virtually unheard of, this breed was made from existing lines of large pit bulldogs during the eighties to attract the novice Pit bulldog owner who thought 'bigger is better.' Pit bulldogs which survived and developed along unique lines in secluded Southern states. Some lines of American bulldog are pit bulls crossed with any of a half dozen large mastiff-type breeds."
Very sturdy, and well-rounded dogs. Not to step on anyone's toes, but I would fancy the Scott type American bulldog over the Johnson. The Scott type, at least to me, embodies the true spirit and ability of working/purpose bulldogs a bit more than the Johnson and have greater agility and higher levels of drive. They are closer to pit bulldogs in their build and work ethic and really do show that bigger is not necessarily better.
I disagree. Although the breed of course has a few pitbulls in it's history, I believe it predominantly descends from the old Boxer bulldog. Dick the Bruiser didn't look like any pitbull I've ever seen and clearly predates the 1980s.
Yes. IMO Dick the Bruiser was exemplary of this type in shape if not in size.
Not a coincidence that six million Germans migrated to the US in the century up to WWI.
Your not correct about it's history.
Swell Character, ''"A breed that, until the late 1980s, was virtually unheard of, this breed was made from existing lines of large pit bulldogs during the eighties to attract the novice Pit bulldog owner who thought 'bigger is better.' Pit bulldogs which survived and developed along unique lines in secluded Southern states. Some lines of American bulldog are pit bulls crossed with any of a half dozen large mastiff-type breeds."
That's not true. They were almost extinct until Johnson & Scott made them popular again. They went through most of Southern USA to find & repopulate the dogs. That was their mission because the dog almost went extinct.
To say they were bred to make them more appealing to the novice Pit Bulldog owner is waay of the mark. There's a lot of things that lady has got wrong regarding dogs & this is another one. They were NOT bred to appeal to Pit Bulldog owners. That's very WRONG!
Just read about the history of Johnson & Scott American Bulldogs. It's very different to what that lady says......
They actually come from Old English Bulldogs. Whether they've been mixed with Mastiffs I'm unsure as they have a different look to Old English Bulldogs. But it was OEB's that the people took over from England when emigrating to America. They wouldn't have been strictly mixed with Pit Bulldogs because that would've made them smaller, & AmBulldogs are generally bigger than the OEB's.....
Nah dude, that lady has been wrong on a number of occasions, especially on game APBT's.
Swell Character pitbull dogs are not a brees "pit" is merely a category type of dog that reffered to several breeds that were fought in the pits..... Bull dogs, terriers(certain ones),staffies, all are pitbull dogs. I'll say this once. The american pitbull is the only dog with pitbull officially in its name. No other dog has pit bull. The staffordshire is not the same as a american pit bull and the only reason these dogs favor american pitbulls in the slightest is because all the pit breeds come from the same categories of dog by either mixing a bull dog with certain terrior or mixing certain terriers wit staff. Or mixing bull dog with staff. All the dogs will have similar tell tell characteristics of the crossing thus why only certain breeds are deemed pitdogs. If you have no staffy,terrier, or bulldog(bull dog is the original line to all the pit type dogs) you don't have a pitbull type and if its not a american pitbull you do not have the official "pit"
3:28 “He!” Is what an American Bulldog Perfection looks like! I couldn’t care less about making my AB fo French ring work, or any other of that HorseShit.. just give me a 125-135lb Make Jonson Line AB & I’m happy
This dog looks like the prototype...perfect bulldog.
The bulldog's skin at special points has therapeutic effects and treats tumors. Hair has a special kind of electricity that cures many diseases.Bulldog is a unique breed in the world.
I just got one yesterday she is 6months old
Bulldogs are really nice dogs . all go , no quit .
