They are robust, well muscled dogs that appeal to those who want a powerful companions. They need experienced handling and broad socialization while young. American Bulldogs weigh between 65 and 130 lbs. and stand from 19 to 28" at the shoulder.

The working class that immigrated to the U.S. from England took the original Bulldogs to the South They were mainly used on ranches and by small farmers. It seemed that the bulldogs survived because the settlers used them to deal with the vermin that was attracted by feral pigs. With the change in American tastes and lifestyles after World War II, bulldogs became almost extinct, but some breeders, including Mr. John D. Johnson and Alan Scott, got together to resurrect the breed. What is currently known as the Standard American Bulldog is the result of the infusion from the Scott and Johnson lines. Thanks to their efforts, the breed was brought back to what is now appreciated by many owners and breeders alike. In 1999, the United Kennel Club recognized the American Bulldog.

American Bulldogs have very distinct features starting with the sturdy, powerful and muscular body and a strong looking face highlighted by a powerful jaw. Those with looser lips or jaws are sometimes found to be droolers. Colors are varied: they can be solid white or they can have spot color patterns that may include red, black, fawn, and brown. On the nose and around the eye rims, pigmentation of black is common, but sometimes pink is evident. Medium sized ears are set up high and can be semi-pricked, rose shaped or dropped with the natural ears being preferred. The coat is close and short, but it is usually stiff to touch. The American Bulldog’s back is muscular and broad and their topline declines downwards. The dog’s broad loin is short and arched into a sloping croup with the flank tucked up firmly.
