      As man's best friend the American Bulldog sometimes referred to as the Old Country Bulldog truly lives up to this. The American Bulldog symbolizes true love, devotion and grit. Often they are describes as athletic, all purpose, hardy working dogs. They have been widely known to conduct great heroic acts to protect its owner. The American Bulldog is strong, stocky dog that has a short coat that is stiff to touch. This breeds coat is white or white with patches that are either red (i.e. any shade of tan) or brindle. In addition, the American Bulldogs ears are usually uncropped. There are two different types of the American Bulldog. They are the Classic or the Johnson, Bully and the Standard or the Scott, Performance. The Scott, Performance is often times confused with its second cousin the American Pit Bull Terrier. The current American Bulldog is a combination of the Scott type and Johnson type dog which has a shorter muzzle, but is a larger dog. In comparison to the Johnson and the Scott breeds, the American Bulldog has a much more massive build. Pit Bulls are not a specific breed. Many use the term "pit bull" to refer to the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and Staffordshire Bull Terrier,or any dog with significant mixes of these breeds. Many states (Colorado and Florida to name just a few) have laws barring ownership of any Pit Bull type dog, others (like California) makes spaying/neutering any Pit Bull manadatory.Many homeowners' insurance companies in the United States are reluctant to insure owners of dogs that are considered to be a dangerous breed.

    • an An america Bulldog is the one with the chubby face and the bigger body, and has alot more heatlh problems. While the APBT is very medium sized dog with a more athletic body type, also has a very fine coat

    • Most all the bully breeds look a like.Very small differences.Check the standards & see if you can tell the differences.http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=bully%20breed%20standardsBully breedshttp://search.yahoo.com/search?p=bully%20breeds

    • The difference is that they are two completely different breeds of dog. I'm not sure though that I agree with your say on a pitbulls "problems". Sure if you get a shelter pitbull who has been fighting all it's life, yeah it might have some problems, but wouldn't any abused dog?!? Pitbulls are known as being a fighting dog, but if they are raised right, they are kind, friendly, and loyal dogs! Same as bulldogs, or any other dogs for that matter. One similarity though, is that they are both considered "bully dogs", as they have both been used for fighting. Raised right though, they are perfectly fine.

    • there's no problem with pitbulls, the problem lies within the bad owners who treat their dogs badly and train their dogs to be aggressive. a pitbull can be just as aggressive as an other dog. I own 2 pitts and they are the sweetest dogs and i trust them around anyone, any age.http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/americanpitbull.htmhttp://www.dogbreedinfo.com/americanbulldog.htm

    • American Bull dogs are gorgeous, my brother in law used to have one. They are much larger and stockier-when Hannibal was a 9 month old puppy this guy let his pit bull run at him and hannibal grabbed his head in his jaw and threw the pit bull. I like pit bulls too though, but they seem to be much smaller. I also like the coat of the American bull dog better, they tend to have a reddish color or black with white fur, while pit bulls tend to be brindle colored.

    • Both are very similar in shape, size, and appearence. The difference is that the American Pitbull Terrierwas originally bred back in the 1800's with terrier mixes, hence the American Pitbull Terrier. The American bulldog (aka Alpaha Bulldog which was it's original name,) never had that small mix. However, nowadays, there are many owners, puppy mills, and even some "breeders" who don't know the difference, and so sometimes you will see an American Bulldog that actually has Pitbull Terrier blood.They have similar qualities with behavior, but most of the time that aggrasiveness can be over looked if properly trained in any dog.Best of luck!

    • NEITHER are real/recognized breeds!!!The so-called Am.Bulldiog is a MUTT/MONGREL -made by crooks from pit types,boxers & bulldogs & lord knows whar other junk.There *IS* a real breed called Am.Pit Bull TERRIER-UKC& an Am.Staffordshire Terrier =AKC& a Staffordshire Bull Terrier=AKCThere 's NO Am.Pitbull-that's ignorance or CROOKS talking.
