Who here knows the difference between American Bulldogs, and English Bulldogs2007-11-25 2:55:11

I have seen so many people mistake American Bulldogs, for the very common English Bulldog. And you have no idea how much that pisses me off. So, who can tell me what an English Bulldog is? And who can tell me what an American Bulldog is?

Answers:

An English Bulldog is of medium size and smooth, short coat, with heavy, thick-set, low-swung body, massive short-faced head, wide shoulders and sturdy limbs. A mature male should be around 50lbs, and a female around 40lbs. This is what the AKC calls a "Standard Bulldog," as the AKC does not even recognize American Bulldogs.

An American Bulldog is a much larger dog, weighing in at around 60-80lbs for males, and 50-75lbs for females. They are tall, and look much like large Boxers, with short faces and a sturdy body.

There is another type, the French Bulldog, which smaller than the English (or Standard) Bulldog, weighing in at under 30lbs. This breed has a large, "square" head, and upward standing, triangular ears.

Again, the whole reason for the mixup, and for people assuming that when you say "Bulldog" you are speaking of an English Bulldog, is because the English Bulldog is considered the "Standard" for Bulldogs, and many people are confused as to what an American Bulldog actually is, because they are not recognized by the AKC.

An American Bulldog is like a pitbull...but larger...they are surprisingly strong, some can be quite large and others medium built...an English Bulldog is very short and stocky...they have a distended lower jaw where the bottom fangs usually come out and over the top jaw...in my opinion the American Bulldog is the better pick as far as looks go...I would worry too much about the joints of the much much smaller english bulldog..

I am not an expert on the breeds, but the American Bulldog looks more like a pit bull. The "english" bulldog is the one with the big jowls, smushed up face, more heavily bodied, wrinled skin. Frankly I think the Old fashioned "English" bulldogs are quite ugly, more like a freak of nature. Don't know, this may p!ss uyou off too and if it does I am sorry.

I have 2 english bulldogs. Yes they are the short stocky ones. American bulldogs are similar in there facial feathures but are much taller and thinner and dont have as saggy of faces. They have totally different personality traits as well. An american bulldog is very much like your average lab or rotweiler, as where an english bulldog is very lazy, cant run fast and gets out of breath very easily.
