The American Bulldog has many different looks. Making them a hard breed to identify at times. The newcomer to the breed will soon find that there are a bewildering array of bloodlines and types of American Bulldog.

The American Bulldog should not be confused with other breeds such as the American Pitbull Terrier, American Stafford Terrier, Boxer, English Bulldog or any other breed. These breeds are the ones most mistaken ID for the American Bulldog.

You can see a pictorial difference in these breeds below.

The American Bulldog is a "Head Breed". Because of the distinct differances, its their head shapes / types that distinguish what "breed type" they are.

The American Bulldog is ONE breed with several different breed types. (Breed type = Pheno Type = or how the dog looks, not how the dog is bred /his/her pedigree) Depending in what part of the country you are in, you may hear the different types termed differently.

Bully Type American Bulldog A 100% Johnson American Bulldog Owned By: Louis Maldarelli

Bully / Johnson / Classic Type:
Pictured to the left.
These larger bodied, heavier dogs make excellent family companions and provide excellent protection around the house. These larger dogs also do very well in the weight pull competitions. These shorter muzzled undershot dogs are often most confused with Boxers or Mastiff Crosses, I am always asked " what kind of Bulldog is that?"
They know its a Bulldog, But are confused because the Bulldog they know.
American Pitbull Terrier, is alot smaller and has the longer muzzle. And the English Bulldog that they know is alot smaller and has alot shorter muzzle.
** Because the bullier type dogs are generally larger bodied and heavier in weight they do not excel in Schutzhund type work. Although bully dogs can do bite work. Its harder for them to get over the requirements of a 6 ft. A-Frame, and other tall objects.

Some good examples of Bully / Johnson / Classic Type American Bulldogs:

Bully Type American Bulldog Johnson's Dozer Bruno

Bully Type American Bulldog P.S.I.'s Red Machine

Bully Type American Bulldog MGK's Bam-Bam

Bully Type American Bulldog Dailey's Ulee

Standard Type American Bulldog Alan Scott's Duke

Standard / Scott / Performance Type:
Pictured to the left.
In temperament these smaller framed dogs make excellent working dogs, such as Schutzhund, Personal Protection, Hog Catching, Weight pull and other physical work. Because we have breeders specifically breeding for "certain" jobs finding one with the same interest is sugguested.
The Standard type: is often confused by the public as a APBT (American Pittbull Terrier). Because they have a longer muzzle, narrower head, smaller body. Even at shows, you hear comments like "Thats the biggest Pitbull I have ever seen", from spectators.
** But keep in mind, if you have intentions of working your Standard dog, but never get around to it, these drivey dogs can destroy your house and everything around it. They are bred for drive and stamina and if not properly worked these bred dogs can be your worst nightmare.

Some good examples of Standard / Scott / Performance Type American Bulldogs:

Hybrid Type American Bulldog Boyd's High Jumpin Mikie

Hybrid Type:
Pictured to the left.
The Hybrid type American Bulldog is the creation of the "best" of both worlds. These dogs are the result of crossing a Bully type American Bulldog to a Standard type American Bulldog. They usually are a heavier bodied, thicker headed then the Standard type American Bulldog.

The reason we have this strain of bulldog is, folks wanted a larger working dog, to do Personal Protection,
Schutzhund and other canine sport work, this meant they needed a dog large enough to hold a man down, yet had enough agility to jump well, move fast, and had plunty of drive to do the training.

Some good examples of Hybrid Type American Bulldogs:
