American Bulldog Breeders

they arent a recognized breed in the UK. there are many disreputable breeders of this breed. there are also too many of this breed in rescue, so i would opt for a rescue dog, so as not to add to the unwanted numbers of this breed and discourage the willy nilly breeding of them. |

My advice to any potential new owner would be to certainly not rush into this but get along to as many shows as possible and see as many dogs first hand as posible and speak to as many breeders as possible.There are good dogs out there but many many bad examples of the breed.The breed does have its problems namely health and temperament issues.The pedigree needs to be looked at thoroughly to eliminate any dogs that could be carrying genetic health problems.It would also be a good idea to join one of the online american bulldog forums as this would be a good place to get relevant info.This breed is nothing like your typical british bulldog and needs to be shown a very firm hand fron puppy stage as eventually you will be owning a dog weighing anywhere around the 100lb mark with the power to match hence the reason so many are ending up in rescue centres. All this said they can be very loyal loving companions but as with all dogs you get out what you put in. So to some up i would say do as much research as possible and take your time and don't rush into anything as these dogs are certainly not for everyone...Cheers..Ian. |

I own 7 American Bulldogs. 2 Johnson's, an old fashioned Stover from Hine's line, 2 standard Scott types, an OSW, and a Painter/Hines. I prefer the standard performance types, but some people prefer the classic bully type. I have bred a few litters using my own stud dog, and also used new studs to create new bloodlines and further the breed. I agree they are not a breed that is everyone's cup of tea, and some people certainly cannot handle a fully grown A.B To look for a reputable breeder, you need to know what type you are after as there are many different types of A.B and they can all look so different. Once you know what you are looking for, you will be able to find a breeder with what you are after. Good luck in your search. |
