American Bulldog Puppies Supplies

American Bulldog puppies are beloved by many homeowners of yank Pit Bull Terriers. The breeds are close cousins and share similarities in size and overall appearance. Because American Pit Bulls are banned in many places, American Bulldogs became a well-liked replacement breed. Though Bulldogs were once bred to be aggressive, the breed doesn't have the bad reputation of Hell Bull.

American Bulldogs also are associated with , but completely different than, French and English Bulldogs. The Bulldog almost became extinct after Britain passed the Cruelty to Animals Act. Bulldogs were no longer allowed to bait bulls or fight other dogs and their usefulness was diminished. Fortunately, European fans of the breed mixed Bulldogs with Pugs to breed dogs down to lap dog size. French and English Bulldogs are popular family pets and often used as characters in film and television due to their expressive eyes, comical mugs and large personalities.

European immigrants brought Bulldogs to America. An American, John D. Johnson, bred these Bulldogs to retain the size and strength of original Old English Bulldogs-an extinct breed. American Bulldogs puppies are bred in many countries today.

Buyers of American Bulldog puppies have John D. Johnson to thank for the very existence of the breed, and his protégé, Alan Scott, also helped maintain the existence of the American Bulldog. These two men split and bred two separate sorts of American Bulldogs, Scott, or Standard, American Bulldogs and Johnson American Bulldogs. Scott/Johnson hybrids also are popular among American Bulldog breeders. Buyers should be experienced dog owners before purchasing a breed like the American Bulldog.
