ABs were bred for Big Game Hunting and they use a little more force to bring their (smaller) prey down. The AB (indigenous to the sourthern US) was bred as a farm guardian to protect livestock. It resembles the basic bulldog description (wide chest, big head, etc.) but a good working AB should weigh 90 lbs (according to the boar hunters, ABs much more than 100 lbs are too slow), and its muzzle should be a bit longer than the Bulldog's for hot-weather work.

The American Bulldog has a lot to offer and are very good dogs. They are the most versatile working breed. Their disposition is outgoing, friendly, and alert. They are a very loyal family companion. If your interested in getting one, it is important to research the breed and make an informative decision that's right for you.

When our male Dalmatian died suddenly in 1998 we seriously considered being dogless for the rest of our lives but as time healed our broken hearts we decided that we were definitely dog people and couldn't live without the sight, sound, smell and feel of a dog in our home. We decided to look for a breed slightly less energetic than a Dalmatian. I was always fascinated by the British Bulldog so we decided to try one of those on for size.

You can either drive here and pick it up or we can ship it via Delta Airlines. Destinations in the USA including an international health certificate and a crate will be approximately $250. Canadian destinations are less expensive and you will have to email us for a quote for European destinations.

The American Bulldog is a working breed; as such, stamina is very important. Yes, your American Bulldog should be able to keep up with you when you jog. This can be an invaluable source of both exercise and bonding time for you and your dog!! Make sure that you do not "force" exercise your dog, i.e. push him past his limits. Start with a 20 minute jog and work your way up to your final goal! Make sure you check his pads for signs of chafing and keep his nails trim.

American Bulldogs are among the most versatile of breeds! They participate in agility, weight pulling, dog-carting, and many varieties of protection work and sports. American Bulldogs love to swim, hike, jog, herd cattle and hunt boar. American Bulldogs have marched in parades, participated in obedience trials, raised money in dog-walk-a-thons and make incredible Therapy Dogs (click here to read my article on Therapy Dogs).

Remember that your American Bulldog is a working breed. As such, dominance is a major part of their temperament. I never recommend having two male or two female American Bulldogs co-habitating. I have never seen that equation work once the dogs reach sexual maturity. One of each sex usually do well together if there are strict rules and guidelines. Never feed them in the same room, never expect them to share toys. Never play with them together, always play individually.

The United States American Bulldog Club is the organization for the American Bulldogs that helps breeders screen their breeding stock to make sure that they are breeding only good specimens in working ability, structure and temperament and conformation. The USABC offers a wide variety of titles as well as the Breed Suitability Test. These titles include Schutzhund titles, ADs, Temperament Evaluations and Obedience degrees.

Yes and no. American Bulldogs have natural protective instincts and will certainly put on a big display to intimidate any intruders. However, you may not be able to rely on the dog to actually bite to protect you. Especially if you have taught it from a pup that biting people is bad! Formal protection training gives the dog guidelines in biting and teaches the dog that in which scenarios it is good to bite.

If you asked me this question five or seven years ago, I'd have most emphatically answered HIP DYSPLASIA. However, due to peer pressure and the hard work of several persuasive members of the AB community, I feel that, while still a huge problem in the breed, dysplasia is no longer the biggest problem. Over the past several years, I've had the priviledge to judge American Bulldog shows all over the country.

American Bulldog kept as a housepet will have mild shedding year round. A kennel dog will have a good deal of shedding in the springtime, but no tumbleweed or clumps of loose fur like you have in long-haired dogs. If you brush your dog daily, you won't have much of a problem at all. If your "brushing" is limited to hair removal via patting and rubbing (like my dogs) then you will have to wear white every day, a small sacrifice! :)

This is an excellent question and one we get asked all the time. Unfortunately, in a breed that has a high price-tag, a lot of backyard-breeders get involved to strike it rich! Sadly, those breeders are the only ones that really do make a lot of money from breeding. When you are dealing with a big, strong, powerful and dominant working breed, and one that suffers from some pretty serious health issues, it is imperative to find a good breeder.

A There are many differences. A simplistic look at the two breed's appearance will lead one to the conclusion that the Olde English Bulldogge is slightly taller than the English bulldog and much less extreme in terms of bulliness. The Olde English Bulldogge is also a much healthier animal in that it doesn't suffer from the numerous health problems of the English bulldog. The Olde English Bulldog males are free breeders and the females are free whelpers.

A5. WebMail and CWMail are competing products designed for the same market with virtually identicle features. But WebMail is at an earlier stage of development. Because of market demands and CWMail's large installed user base we have continued to develop CWMail and have developed both these products in parallel over the last 12mths. WebMail has had to catch up to CWMail and then keep pace with new devopment in that market and CWMail.

A5. There are only two international certificates recognised by the British Council and by employers worldwide: the Trinity Certificate in TESOL and the Cambridge Certificates in English Language Teaching (CELTA and CELTYL). The Trinity CertTESOL is equivalent to the Cambridge CELTA. Both train you to do the same job. In addition to the minimum requirements as outlined in the Trinity syllabus, the course offered by English for Asia also features:

Under the new Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness Act, all facilities that possessed an HHS select agent or toxin, or a USDA "High Consequence Livestock Pathogens and Toxins" were required to notify HHS by September 10, 2002 and/or USDA by October 11, 2002. This was a one-time notification process. The specific requirements for reporting were published in a Federal Register Notice on July 12, 2002. The notification period has passed.

What I'd like to answer is, "In Korea we're all minorities." This is true, strictly speaking. Korea is gradually becoming more diverse, but basically it's a homogenous society, so historically they haven't had to deal with anyone who looked very different from the norm. As in Japan, the word for foreigner, weiguk, means "outsider.

Well, who really knows this but I like this explanation sent to me by a visitor to this website: "Alistair Cooke stated in his 1980s television series "The Story of English" that Americans purposely pronounced every letter of every word on purpose to differentiate themselves from the English. He stated somewhere that we changed our forks to our right hands prior to the Revolution as a sign the the eater was a rebel. Also to be different from the British."
