It has been said by some that the American Bulldog is merely an offshoot from the American Pit Bull Terrier. This could not be farther from the truth. In actuality, the American Pit Bull Terrier was created from the dog, which is now known as the American Bulldog. The American Pit Bull Terrier is one of the greatest breeds of dog around today. However, the American Bulldog is the truest descendant of the Old English Bulldog from centuries ago. Prior to the 1970's, the American Bulldog was very rare, not well known, and could only be found in the rural parts of Alabama, Georgia and the Florida panhandle. This may be why some people assume that American Bulldogs were recently created. The American Bulldog is a pure bred dog which is a direct descendant from the powerful Alaunt Mastiffs, which evolved into the old working English bulldogs and eventually came to be called the American Bulldog. In fact, the American Bulldog has been a pure bred dog longer than many AKC breeds, who wish they could claim the same level of tradition and pureness that the American Bulldog has.
The American Bulldog has given rise to many breeds over the years including the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, the English Bulldog, the Bullmastiff, the Boxer, the Dogo Argentino, and the Olde English Bulldogge to name a few. The American Bulldog is the foundation breed for many of the different dog breeds out there today.
