"Working dog" is an apt description of the American Bulldog. Originally brought to the American South by English working-class immigrants, this breed helped farmers and ranchers with many everyday tasks, such as driving and catching hogs and cattle, and guarding property. Today's American Bulldog is still an all-purpose working partner, guard dog and family companion. It is loyal and confident with a large head, thick muscular neck, wide nose, powerful jaws and a muscular but agile body. Due to an emphasis on ability rather than looks, the height and weight of individual American Bulldogs varies considerably. Males are ideally 22 to 27 inches tall at the withers and weigh 75 to 125 pounds; females are 20 to 25 inches tall and weigh 60 to 100 pounds. The American Bulldog's short, stiff coat may come in any color, color pattern or combination of colors except solid black, solid blue or tricolor (white with brown and black). This brave, determined breed benefits from plenty of socialization and training from an early age. Although its strong protective instincts may cause it to be reserved with strangers and possibly aggressive toward other dogs, the devoted American Bulldog demands to be with its family and adores children.
