American Bulldog Kennels

Not all American Bulldog kennels adhere to the strict breed standards. There are many breeders that don’t care about preserving the working qualities of the American Bulldog that make it stand apart from all other modern Bulldogs. The appearance of a typical American Bulldog has much in common with the American Pit Bull Terrier and the Staffordshire Terrier. It’s often difficult to register purebred American Bulldogs. Some registries are ready to register every dog that looks like the American Bulldog; and only some of them carefully check the phenotype and pedigrees of the dogs.

When contacting American Bulldog kennels, ask the breeders about the organization that registers their dogs and find the rules and regulations of these registries on the Internet. If you are a real breed fancier, buying a purebred American Bulldog, but not the American Pit Bull Terrier is surely important for you. There are many reputable breeders whose major interest is the improvement of the breed. They breed their dogs for temperament and working qualities and offer guarantee it for every puppy. Backyard or hobby American Bulldogs breeders often represent dogs of dubious lineage and sell them to unknowledgeable and impulsive buyers never thinking about the future life of their dogs.

It may be difficult to find reputable American Bulldog kennels. You can contact a local breed club for references. If there are no American Bulldog clubs in your area, it’s easy to find official websites of breed organizations. Beware of Rare Breed Registries, which register any breed that someone wants to make up. Registration with such a registry means nothing for real breed fanciers. Many backyard breeders who want to make money on the growing popularity of the breed sell their dogs with registration from various rare breed registries or with no registration at all.

American Bulldogs are strong and independent dogs requiring a strong hand. If the owner cannot provide proper training and socialization for an American Bulldog, it’s likely to become neurotic, hyperactive and potentially dangerous. Reputable American Bulldog kennels are ready to deal with educated buyers only and are unlikely to sell pups to ignorant people.
