Fun Facts:

The American Bulldog was almost extinct by the end of World War II, but thanks to two impassioned fellows; John Johnson and Alan Scott brought the breed back to life, and basically every American Bulldog today can be traced back to both of their lines.

When feral pigs were introduced to the States, they had no natural predators so local bulldogs, which eventually became known as American Bulldogs, were used to help farms control them. To this day, the breed still hunts feral pigs and catches escaped pigs

American Bulldogs have large litters (up to 11 puppies) and as such usually deliver by C-section.
