Rose’s Big Brown Boo "Boo"

The original English Bulldog was used by butchers to catch and hold bulls. They were courageous and tenacious, and were brought to the southern US States by English colonists. There, their descendents found a new calling as cattle wranglers. With the strength to catch and hold hogs and cattle and the agility to dodge flying hoofs and sharp horns, the American Bulldog soon became a favourite on the ranch.  As a born working dog, the American Bulldog is happiest when he's got a job, whether it's weight pulling, Schutzhund, protection, tracking, or hog catching.

Considered a rare breed, the American Bulldog stands between 19 and 27 inches at the shoulder. His coat is short and smooth, and comes in solid white, or white with tan, brown, or brindle patches. Since he has no undercoat, the American Bulldog is sensitive to extremes of heat and cold and should be protected accordingly. The American Bulldog is an excellent family pet as he displays a friendly, confident, and loving manner. He loves children and is eager to please his master. However, this breed has a high prey drive and can display aggression towards other dogs. The Amercian Bulldog should always be leashed when out in public. Fearless and loyal, this dog is a superb watch dog and guardian of the home as he will face down anything from a wild animal to a human intruder! Such large, strong dogs need equally strong, confident owners and are not the best dogs for the inexperienced handler. Early obedience training and socialization are imperative for this breed. Intelligent, willing, powerful and athletic, these dogs are happiest when they have a job to do. They are easy to train but are independent thinkers so start early! Regular exercise will keep the American Bulldog compact, muscular, and well-toned.
