The American Bulldog, also known as the Country Bulldog, is a dog breed that is known for its superb strength and fine character. This breed of dog is usually classified with other breeds of dogs into the working class. While it was recognized by the United Kennel Club in 1999 it has not yet been included in the American Kennel Club’s recognized list of dog breeds. Although the American Bulldog is a sturdy and extremely strong dog, this breed can also be a gentle giant.
The American Bulldog is a stocky and well built, strong-looking dog. Its coat is short and either white, white with patches, black and white brindle, fawn and white, fawn and white brindle or a combination of all of these. Some American Bulldogs may even have what is called a blue patch. The color conformation is quite varied, but white must be somewhere in the coat for the dog to be confirmed in most ABD clubs.
An American Bulldog is typically a happy, friendly, and assertive dog breed that is at ease with its family and fine with outsiders with whom the dog is acquainted. They are quite fond of children too. They bond strongly with their master and family but they should be socialized and obedience trained early to expose them to other dogs and people.
