As for dogs being "recognised" in Australia, go to the Australian National Kennel Council site, you will find many of these breeds arn't recognised for various reasons, American Bulldogs being one of them.
Have a read of that site. They are a registered breed, i know what the history of them is and the only known pit type they have in them is bully and the majority of the rest (apart from bulldog) is boxer and mastiff.
Just because you don't like them or there history doesn't mean they aren't there. With that logic an ambull is nothing more than a mutt.
I think with any bulldog you have a risk of somthing. they were bread to fight back centuries ago, and inbetween been used for other things too. its in the breed and i strongly agree on it. ive seen to many phsyco bulldogs, not enough placid, easy going family dogs to be satisfied its a good breed. unless anyone wants to prove wrong?agreed jasonL with your point too
british bulldogs are *****s. sister in law bought one from a "highly sought breeder" for 2 and a half thousand, its killed a ****su,a sheep, chickens, and the only thing left is the boxer dog thats been attacked from it heaps . they are mungrels, every one ive known are mungrels.(sorry if you know diff) but you want opinions. they are poorly bread anyway with the bracecephalic face that makes it hard for them to breathe. they cant run for long, well not "meant" too. they are just like a fat ***** on the ground that weighs about 40 kg.
wow, are you stupid enough to believe that a dog as massive and capable of dismemberment as a mastiff has never been used in a fighting pit??..correct. An ambull is a mutt.
they are illegal in australia.want a dog that'll take down a bull?? Presa Canario........... The bulls will run away.......
How stupid are you? You don't know what ur talking about. I never said they couldn't be used for fighting I said the only significant pit dog blood they have in them is bully, pit meaning a dog bred for pit fighting which bulldogs weren't bred for. Bulldogs were bred for hunting/holding down large animals so they can be easily killed.
Point IS almost all breeders of british bulldogs are still going to tell you they are a high maintenance breed, it is a cruel breed due to the fact that most of them have c-sections when giving birth.
Yes they have many flaws, like other breeds but to add to the demand is pretty cruel in its self.
Get a mutt from the pound, nicest thing you can do and they often have staffys and tough little dogs like that because they are a harder dog to train and when a breed like that isn't well behaved people suffer more than they would if it were say a maltese.
As for the american and aussie bulldog discussion; I didn't say they hadn't been around for a long time, there are ALOT of breeds that are not recognized that are bred locally i.e tenterfield terrier and yes you can buy a well bred aussie bulldog from certain breeders in nsw that do get almost the same results in multiple dogs.
Oh and it won't be cheap.
Point is why pay so much money for something you could get from the pound and for something that would not qualify as a proper breed.
When you pay over one thousand dollars for a breed you should know exactly what kind of dog you are getting, roughly what temperament they have and grooming requirements.
GO TO THE POUND if you want a mixed breed.
Buying a mixed breed from a breeder increases the demand and then you get backyard breeders and for a backyard breeder to fool around with bulldogs genetics has the potential to do so much damage.
Again, pound.
. People will pay a lot of money for a dog that they want which i think is a good thing. It's a commitment for the life of the dog, 15-18 years, you are far more likely to look after something you have invested a lot of money into

Your right there, convert it to snakes, why get a free rescued carpet if all you want is a woma? would you be as keen to look after something you really didn't want? or would it just be passed on a little further down the track. ABD's are great dogs, though still need some refining to get a secure type animal, they are great natured animal, with fewer health problems than the English, really, the true forms are nothing like an English. All breeds start somewhere, and I'm sure with their growing popularity they will be a recognised breed.
I cant be bothered dredging back through the thread.... whoever the dog washer is, stick to scrubbing them and quit dealing history of American Bulldogs.... honestly your miles off. Many dogs were registered in the kennels in the US, with the prefix "American", fair enough in time they have bred them for different purpose lending to physical changes, which in the US tends to be for larger size. Anyone who is confused enough to think that Brittish Bulldogs (their current form) in any way resembles the old propper bulldogs who could physically go nose to nose with anything bovine, really needs to get off the good stuff. The real bull baiters were a much larger, more agile and physical beast all together. The Brits have bred a few breeds down to un-natural standards, the bulldogs now are riddled with problems, Korgi's cant even breed unless placed on pillows as their legs are too short.
