I notice that you can get "American" versions of dogs,American BulldogAmerican Cocker SpanielAmerican fox houndAmerican MastiffAmerican StaffyHow are they different to the normal ones? Why recreate a breed that already existed and put "American" in the title? What's the point? What was the matter with the usual Staffy or Bulldog?

You forgot about the American Brittany.Anywho, at least in the case of the Brittany, there's not much of a difference. I have a French Brittany, and she is of smaller stature, has a shorter snout and a slightly different hunting style than a french brittany. I am assuming it is just small differences for all the breeds you mentioned. Something that was fine, that someone decided to "Americanize"

Its more of a type than a breed really. Basically people in one country liked one look over another and breed their dogs to achieve that look while still retaining the general breed characteristics.

The same reason there are LABRADOR retrievers and GOLDEN retrievers- I notice you didn't mention the FRENCH bull dog?In some cases, there are lots of differences, in the case of the American Bulldog and the American Cocker- these breeds were developed many moons ago- and bred for a purpose.
