Having descended from the bull baiting breeds of England, the American Bulldog remained to be the closest look-alike of the now extinct Old English Bulldog. Other bulldogs in Europe were highly altered but not the American Bulldog whose appearance remained as is even for many decades.<br /> <br /> This breed has two types: the Johnson type and the Scott type. The developers of these types were famous breeders John D. Johnson and Allen Scott. Moreover, the other names for the types are Classic or Bully type and the Standard or Performance type.<br /> <br /> The American Bulldog is often mistaken for a white Boxer because both hold a striking resemblance with each other. But describing an American Bulldog alone, its body is stocky, powerful-looking, well built and with jaws that possesses exceeding strength. It weighs from 60 to 125 pounds and stands 20 to 28 inches at the withers.<br /> <br /> The coat of this breed is generally smooth and short and sheds lightly or moderately. The coat colors often appear solid white, solid white with black markings, red, brown, brindle and fawn. Standard eye color is brown, and the mouth drools and this most especially with dogs that have looser lips.<br /> <br /> Description for the Johnson type is bigger and heavier body, and shorter muzzle than the Scott type. The Scott type, however, is described as a leggy and bigger Pit Bull. Comparing with its European counterparts, this breed has longer legs, is more flexible and quicker.<br /> <br /> The American Bulldog possesses a cheerful and sociable behavior, is comfortable being with the family and does not mind befriending other humans so long as they don't pose a threat. This dog has a strong bond with its master and is sociable to other animals given that he is trained in obedience and socialization at an early age. This dog also needs a constant share of attention because if not, it may develop destructive behaviors. <br /> <br /> This breed is developed as a highly energetic working dog that's why it needs constant activities in order to utilize its excess energy. A house with a big and unconfined yard is best for this dog's daily activities. This dog also needs regular exercise such as walking or running as this will help him remain healthy mentally and physically.<br /> <br /> The ancestors of this breed came from England and were ultimate fighters in bull baiting. When the bloody sport was banned, breeders developed the breeds in to gentler and smaller dogs. Some of these new breeds came to the US and were further developed and the American Bulldog is one of the products.</div><div style="font-style: italic"><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><div>Troy Richardson is an expert breeder of the <a href="http://american-bulldog-secrets.com/" target="_blank">American Bulldog</a>.
