When my children reached the age of being too old
for daycare, but too young to be home alone, I
started my research on which breed of dog would be
the perfect dog for my family. My research sent me
straight to American Bulldogs. Not only are they
protective of my children, they are not aggressively
protective as in some other breeds. The one item
that really stood out to me was that most home
owners insurance companies have black listed
many breeds. As per my research, the
American Bulldog was not on any of those lists.
We purchased our first American Bulldog November
2002. Her parents were Champion Boyd's Air Jordan
B701-460 and Tory Hesta Hendrix B611-939.
We just loved her and decided to let her have
a litter so we bred her with Champion Wigg's
Brewser Delight B604-731D. From that litter we
kept the two best males and we have Cole
Younger B270-249 and General Patton B270-251,
born August 4,2004. We have added three females,
also bred from champions, to our kennel
and thus we created "Absolute All American Bulldogs."
We are breeding American Bulldogs for the love
of the breed. I honestly cannot think of a
better
family pet. They are a wonderful and
loving
breed that will protect their families if necessary.
The American Bulldog is a powerful, athletic
short-coated dog, strongly muscled, and well boned. American Bulldogs generates the impression of great strength, endurance and exhibits a well-knit, sturdy compact frame. The American Bulldog should be
evaluated as a working dog, and exaggerations or
faults should be penalized in proportion to how
much they interfere with the dog’s ability to work.
Height: Males: 22 - 27 inches; Females: 20 - 25 inches.
Weight: Male: 75 - 125 lbs.; Female: 60 - 100 lbs.
Colors: All white, pied, or up to 90% color; brindle or
red patches (red is defined as any shade of tan)
Coat: The coat is short, close, and stiff to the touch.
Temperament:
The essential characteristics of the American Bulldog
are those which enable it to work as a hog and cattle catching dog, and a protector of personal property.
These tasks require a powerful, agile, confident dog
with a large head and powerful jaws. The American
Bulldog is a gentle, loving family companion who is
fearless enough to face an angry bull or a human
intruder; Good with children; Good with pets
Care and Exercise:
Brush coat with a firm bristle brush or rubber
mitt
and bathe only when necessary. Puppies
should
have early socialization.
