Hi i work in a boarding kennels a few days ago a lovely american bulldog came in. This is the first time i have seen one (only ever seen them in books before) He looks like a giant staffie but with a longer muzzle he is from a rescue centre in america but they have bought him back to england.The ones i saw on sites and in books had more of a bull dog face i just wondered if the ones in america are different to the ones over here? He has the most loving temprement loves other dogs a gentle giant i want to take him home!

Hello, I don't own american bulldogs and I am no expert in dogs(only mine!) but I am sure they came in 2 types, one short and stocky and the other like the one you described, taller and slender...am I right anyone?

It sounds like a scot AB you can have Johnson AB which are bully heavier scots and hinds are longer in muzzle more pit bull type and shorter on the leg, i had all this explained me at one of the rallies by the lady her self her and her hubby started the scot lines in America ofcourse.

i watched a breeding program on animal planet all about bulldogs on thursday, and yes they are taller with a longer muzzle, lovely dogs :) apparently the british bred ours with pugs to make them shorter and stockier with a flat face, this program is on every tea time starting at 5pm and a different breed is shown everynight, its interesting, tells you where the breeds originated from and all that :)

Jacki is it called breed all about it? my mum was telling me about it she also saw the one on bull dogs.

Yes madstaff it is called breed all about it :)

I would say he is about as tall as a bull mastiff maybe a bit taller but as i said has the face of a giant staffie with a longer muzzle he is lovely though!

does he look like this? here
