American bulls are part old english bulldog. The original fighting dog. American bulls are renowed for being courageous and fearless, but also very gentle and caring towards family and kids. That is why they are used for hunting boar and protection work so much. Ab's are used for hunting, guarding and working. They are large, strong and very,very athletic. That makes them the perfect working dog for many applications. Ab's are great on farms because they can protect the farm, work, and be a great family pet. There are a bunch of types of American bulldogs. The
standard/scott type ( looks like big pitbull, longer nose 70 - 130 lbs) The
Johnson type ( short muzzle heavy bones (80 - 150lbs) The
hybrid type, standard + johnson which my dog is (70 - 130). There are a few other lines including painters and old English whites, but the ones listed above are the main lines.
Ab's love children and make wonderful companions. Extremely loyal, loving, fearless and goofy are words I would use to describe the breed. Extremely stable and sure. Best dog I have ever owned. My dog is so gentle with my nephew. He adores him.
