Here are 2 pictures of my dogs, My name is Jennifer
and I am a bulldog lover. The all white dog is a male, and his name
is Ozzie. He is 2 years old, and is a NKC champion, he weighs 84
pounds and has soo much drive. He also has a few titles. The other
dog, white with brown spots is our female Jenny. She is almost 3
years old and weighs 82 pounds. We have no papers on her, she is
just a pet. Thanks!

History:
Early bulldogs were used in the bloody sport of bullbaiting. Some
of these dogs emigrated with their masters from England to America.
Eventually the English Bulldog was bred down in size and his personality
was softened, but the American version remained a larger, fiercer
dog. The American version has longer legs and more speed and agility
than the English show dog. Today's American Bulldog breed was established
about 25 years ago from working bulldogs in the Sand Valley area
of Alabama where farmers used these dogs to help handle unruly livestock.
The American Bulldog has also been used as a guard and in hunting
bear, wild boar, squirrel and raccoon. They have even been trained
to drive cattle and guard stock from predators. Farmers prize these
dogs for their stamina, protectiveness, intelligence and working
abilities.
Personality:
Brave and determined, but not hostile. Alert and self-confident.
May be assertive with other dogs and aloof with strangers. Because
of his strong protective instincts, the American Bulldog should
be well-socialized and obedience trained at an early age.
Talents:
hunting, tracking, watchdog, guarding, and weight pulling.
