American Bulldog is one of the closest remaining in almost untouched condition relatives old English bulldog . After appearing on American soil breed used for its intended purpose and has not undergone any changes such as in Europe.

American Bulldog - truly a unique breed . This has arisen because of the uniqueness of the changing trends in the breeding of these dogs. Due to the difference that existed in the requirements as for physical or structural features and mental characteristics or by peculiarities of temperament . American Bulldog was bred for a long time , going from one form to another . He was called " bulldog ", " staroangliysy white ", " American Pit Bulldog " today - an American bulldog . Throughout this time the breed ispolzavat for various applications , and its structure and temperament accordingly reflect such differences .

American Bulldogs are usually friendly and cheerful, and loving your family dog. They restrained and good-natured with strangers whom they know , gentle with children.
Have close ties with the owner and his family , but at the same time they have developed a strong guard of quality , as well as the instinct of superiority , especially in relation to dogs . Therefore , at an early age , they should be trained to obedience and to give the opportunity to play and communicate with other dogs and breed lyudmi.Istoriya

In medieval England , wherever developed animal husbandry , cultivated breeding dogs , which if necessary to cope with the bull. Besides baiting bulls was very popular in those days entertainment. Value dog was directly related to its ability to fight like bulls and lions , bears and even monkeys. A good fighting dog was worth a lot of money .
Organization "sport" baiting bulls in 1204 led to the removal of a bulldog who is in charge of the event goals than dogs accidental origin. Once started organizing baiting bulls have become a popular spectacle , pickling dog got a special value. Passion for baiting bulls dogs and dog fighting was accompanied by growth rates for the winners. Bulldogs evaluated very high, especially for pups from the Bulldogs winning .Thus, when breeding bulldogs guided so as to get as much profit from the future offspring . Dilution theory is not very scientific approach , but at least there was a view that the offspring should be better than their parents, and much attention was paid to pick up for the same type of breeding pairs of dogs.
Bulldog value was directly related to its ability to fight with bulls and other large animals - lions and bears, as well as - with his willingness to endure pain . For this Bulldogs brutalize to demonstrate their ability to voluntarily suffer. Often such " shows " ended in the death of the dog , but they are , nevertheless , fueled by increasing price of puppies.
We should not forget that while compassion was not up to par . Indifference considered a rule , care is often not provided even to people and animals is not appreciated. Wounded or sick dog recovered itself or die . Surviving the Bulldogs were the most hardy dogs. For several centuries, the Bulldogs give dogs that have an iron constitution, which rightly became legendary .
So Bulldogs existed before the 1800s . The world has become a little more civilized , a little kinder and more attentive towards smaller brothers . Bull baiting and dog fights were banned by law.
Prohibition of dog fighting in 1835 led to the oblivion of the bulldog and its complete disappearance at home .
Movement against the bloody entertainment was accompanied by increase in the average standard of living that allows the output of human interests beyond mere survival. Became very popular dog show , which began to grow primarily in order to participate in such events .
Bulldog at that time did not have too remarkable appearance to attract attention. Some breeds , such as the Irish Wolfhound and Scottish deer hound ( Deerhound ) , were the darlings of the nobility had a long and storied history . Other breeds like the Irish and English Setter , long famous as a hunting dog from landowners who used to rest on the hunt for a bird.
At the same bulldog was not as influential supporters . It was a dog - working commoners - an animal that is adapted to the sweaty and bloody work herdsmen who supplied meat to the table. But it was quite pugnacious dog , and when the ring was going to a few bulldogs , then there is much more excitement than expected this exhibition organizers .As soon as the dog shows began to be held , it was necessary to divide into separate breed dogs . For each breed breeding clean organized clubs that were recorded genealogy and dogs. In order to show the breed at shows , breed and register its representatives, it was necessary to come up with a name for it. As Bulldog exhibition type directly descended from the then existing working bulldog who turned into a separate breed , the name " Bulldog " was perfect. Thus , the name " Bulldog " was given krossbridnym dogs who received a special order to show at exhibitions, and breed , which we call the " British Bulldog " since then and is the name.
Bulldog type exhibition gathered an army of fans, and even the breed became a national symbol of England. Although these Bulldogs were never used for work and totally incapable of bloody battles , however , this breed has been synonymous with British intransigence . The initial form of the bulldog has been forgotten at home . But this did not happen with the Bulldogs , who are in the British colonies along with immigrants . History bulldog , so not over.
In the early 1700s, the economic situation in England was quite severe. The prisons were full of people unable to pay their debts. They were delivered to the condition they will be released from prison if settle in the new colony in Georgia. The idea of ​​settling had a dual purpose . First, she had to serve as a link between the British possessions in Virginia and the Carolinas, French possessions in New Orleans and the Spanish in Florida. Secondly , the Kingdom filmed with responsibilities feeding debtors prisons.
Although no debtors never reached Georgia , new colonies were settled by many enthusiastic representatives of the working class, who eked out a miserable existence in England and gladly seized the opportunity to start a new life in America. Many of these immigrants brought with them all their belongings , including dogs . Much of this work was presented dogs bulldogs the time when dog shows were not yet organized , and baiting bulls have not been banned.
Over time, the dogs began to organize exhibitions in America, was created by the American Kennel Club ( AKC ) . America was going through then the Civil War . New York, Boston and Philadelphia became the centers of commerce and culture , Chicago and represented himself strong brother at the border. South looked much poorer, less educated , and was considered a " country bumpkin ."
No attempt to include different breeds of dogs in the list of South American Kennel Club has been taken . Foreign breed imported from other lands were considered "chic" ; South dogs were considered normal . Since the game has already been registered breed called " bulldog ", then for a bulldog from the South had to come up with another name , in the event of vigorous interest in this breed people do not confuse it with the English Bulldog . But interest in the breed spread from the South was not evidenced . This led to the fact that it was called differently : Exhibition bulldog , old bulldog , working bulldog pit bulldog , bulldog fighting - these names are used at different times, were also among them such as the southern white, white old style big dzhordzhinsky - all this belongs to the American Bulldog .Canine boom of the second half of 80th and the emergence of numerous books on dog breeding have not added awareness of the working American Bulldog . So in 1990-1991 . virtually no one , at least in Moscow, not even heard of such a breed. Meanwhile, the 70 -80s were marked by the rapid growth of the popularity of " Giants of Georgia " in their homeland. A growing number of professional nurseries , the number of registered litters , the Bulldogs are finding new fans in almost all states. And most importantly, in the 90s , American Bulldogs are starting to lead the competition in training , which puts them in a row on the ability to obey such recognized " campaigners ", as the German and Belgian Shepherds .
However , winning the " tempering " championships - a phenomenon in itself significant and very rare for a dog of the Molosser group , - for American Bulldog - a "demonstration ", the finishing touch in their career versatile working breed . All these long history in his own unique dogs , closely related to the practical application for various purposes, passed away from exhibitions and show business , being as it were, in deep shadow from the official , " Kennel Club ."
Bulldogs helped hunt and impound , however, by the end of the century there was one area of ​​their application : bred flocks of wild dogs destroyed all life around and sometimes cause significant damage to local residents , attacking domestic animals and birds . Dr. Karl Simensik calling American bulldogs including fighting breeds , believes that in this century extermination of stray dogs is the main specialty of " pit bulldogs " (the former name of the breed ) . Here is how he describes the hunting of wild dogs with bulldogs in his book "The World of fighting dogs » (The World of Fighting Dogs. By Dr. Carl Semencic, 1984) : " Pete Bulldog performs at this very important task - rushes into the interior of the pack and attacking the leader, either by killing him or hold long enough to come on time and his human partners completed deal with weapons .
Job dog is much more complicated than it might seem , because she has to fight not only the leader , but also against the other members of the pack , which usually protect their leader. For dogfights requires such a large and powerful dog , for the first shot on to the leader must be so devastating that it would be impossible to escape . American pit bull dog quite effective to quickly cope not only with the leaders , but often with other members of the pack of wild dogs .... in fact , for this purpose it is most often bred . "
Until the end of the 50s , American Bulldogs have not been registered in a national canine organization had no official pedigrees and "single stud book " did not participate in exhibitions and competitions . Cultivation was conducted in the "old ", according to the traditions and the advice of experienced breeders , selection of manufacturers - almost exclusively on working qualities . Billy B. Haynes in his "Notes on the history and early breeding American bulldogs " tells of his search for the Bulldogs of blood : " I ​​myself have to work hard to find , at last, the great females of the old workers' boar lines Alan Scott - they include many famous dogs of the past.The trick is to " unearth " line , not spoiled dogs from kennels. I had to look very much to find very little . All were in godforsaken places in the forest wilderness , where I did not have found if not for the advice of my friends from the old-timers and do not guarantee them for me. " As you can see from this quote , the old breeders rarely gave puppies and dogs " outsiders " , and this is another reason more recently, local distribution and unfamiliarity with the breed am . Bulldog in most parts of the United States.
In the 50s and 60s rock called "American Pit Bulldog " registered fund research animals (Animal Research Foundation) has approved the first standard and presented by John D. Johnson ( of Sammervilya , Ga. ) . In the future, American Bulldogs recorded NKC (National Kennel Club) and specially created ABA (American Bulldog Association). Modern name of the breed - american bulldog , and it has not deterred potential fans of his involvement in dogfights .
As mentioned earlier in this article , the number of fans of American bulldogs in the U.S. and in other countries is growing rapidly , and this is when the variety of dog breeds that are well known in the world ! Apparently, we can recognize that s . Bulldog found his "ecological niche, " their " voters " - people who value not winning at the shows, and is a reliable friend nearby, capable, as was said in the first standard Johnson in the " character ", " to protect the owner from any dangerous entity regardless of the size of the latter, even at the cost of his life . " It is appropriate to the beautiful words of a professional trainer Mike Harlow : "American bulldogs are experiencing an innate distrust of strangers .
They have a highly developed ability to grasp the situation , " something is wrong here ! . " With them it is impossible to bluff . They smell the fool and ignore it , even if it is the most decisive of fools ... Over 16 years of police service and communication with a variety of dogs I have not seen any of them , which would exceed the Reliability of the American bulldog. I had English bulldogs, rottweilers, pit bulls , German Shepherds and American Bulldogs . All of whom I Trained , plus Bullmastiff , Malinois , Bouvier , Giant Schnauzers , Dobermans and one Mastiffs. And above all , I put American Bulldog - both for personal protection and for police work .
Such a high rank I attribute them not because of their breed . On the contrary, I breed them because so appreciate . " Many other experienced trainers who had experience training dogs of various breeds , also recognize the inherent am . bulldogs reliability, passionate desire to work , " they are so easy and enjoyable to train ! " These qualities , combined with tremendous physical strength bulldog owner give a sense of confidence , so necessary in these troubled times .
