People ask me if Roxy is a PitBull all the time. I don’t have anything against PitBulls but American Bulldogs and PitBulls are no kin at all.

NKC American Bulldog Information

The National Kennel Club will not register an American Bulldog that is not 100% AB. The 7/8 rule is not allowed for single registering a dog. The American Bulldog has been an estabilisted breed and any breeding trying to add new blood into the breed will not be registerable. We will single register an Amercian bulldog that was not registered from a litter with the NKC, however the pedigree/bloodline must be submitted with proper documentation.
Clubs that host American Bulldog Shows now have the option of hosting a Junior Champion Class.
A win will be awarded for this class and dog of the year points will be awarded.

Effective immediately any American Bulldog that is being single registered must have either been previously registered by another registry or it must be inspected. Any dog that does not meet the requirements for registration can petition the NKC office for registration by submitting a completed application along with several pictures front, back and both sides. Those applications will be forwarded to the American Bulldog Board for verification of breed and possible registration.

If as as puppy you show your American Bulldog in either the bully or standard class then before the dog is a year old you realize that the dog should have been shown in the other classas a puppy Once an Amercian Bulldog has been shown in either the Standard or Bully Show ring at a show it has to stay in that class.

American Bulldog vs English Bulldog

American Bulldogs are much larger than their British cousins, which is in large part due to the fact that they had to be big enough to take down wild hogs. These pups can weigh as much as 130 pounds, and they’re incredibly strong.

American Bulldogs have stubby noses relative to many other breeds, but theirs aren’t so pushed-in that it causes respiratory problems. These dogs are still capable of putting in a full day’s work.

English Bulldogs, on the other hand, have largely been bred to be adorable. They’re no longer even remotely capable of bringing down a bull (or anything bigger than a large pizza, really). Their noses are so short that they often have trouble breathing, and they have precious little stamina.

American Bulldogs are much more active, however, so if you don’t give them the exercise they need, they might take their frustrations out on your house. They love to play, and they take to training well (although they will try to test you, so it’s important to be firm and consistent).

On the other hand, the English Bulldog is a born couch potato. They can still be disruptive if not given enough exercise, but for them, “enough exercise” could be a walk around the block. They’re also easily trained, although they’re generally not quite as intelligent as their American cousins.

However, both tend to be friendly and eager to spend time with their masters, and both have stubborn streaks a mile wide. Both also need plenty of training and socialization, beginning when they’re puppies.

Both do well with kids, provided they’ve been sufficiently trained and socialized. English Bulldogs do well with other dogs and pets; American Bulldogs aren’t bad with them, per se, but they do require plenty of training and socialization.

Health

This is one area where their divergent breeding practices are readily apparent. American Bulldogs were bred to be hard workers, whereas modern British Bulldogs were largely bred to be cute. This emphasis on adorability has cost them in terms of their health, however.

Simply put, English Bulldogs have horrific health issues — so much so, in fact, that an entirely new breed, the Olde English Bulldogge, was developed to address their problems.

While their stubby noses are adorable, they make it harder for them to breathe, and the breed is prone to respiratory problems. Similarly, their little round bodies have joint and skeletal issues, and they’re likely to suffer from obesity and cancer.

Their heads are so gigantic, meanwhile, that most English Bulldogs can’t be born naturally and have to be delivered via C-section. They’re prone to overheating and their lifespan is only about eight years.

American Bulldogs are much healthier (and live about twice as long), but they’re not without their issues. They often suffer from hip dysplasia and other joint ailments, and they can get fat if not properly exercised. Overall, though, American Bulldogs are much healthier dogs.
