About the American Bulldog
The American Bulldog is a breed of working dog that was developed for catching livestock and for protecting property. Normally considered to be two types of American Bulldog, the Johnson type and the Scott type, named after the breeders who were influential in developing them, John D. Johnson and Allen Scott. This breed is a stocky strong looking dog.The Johnson type is larger with a shorter muzzle than the Scott type. The Johnson, Bully type is called the Classic and the Scott, Performance is the Standard. The American Bulldog is known to be a happy, friendly, and assertive dog that is at ease with family and fine with strangers. They love children, but because they sometimes don't know their own strength are needed to be supervised with small children. They need a firm hand and should be socialized and obedience trained early so they can be controlled around company as they get older and larger.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, in Spain and England, the now-extinct Old English Bulldogs were used on farms to catch and hold escaped livestock and also as butchers' dogs; it was believed then that sending a dog out to chase the bull home, would tenderize the meat.

The breed is safe from extenction and has begun a healthy increase in popularity.
