American Bulldog Breed originated in England,
probably by crossing dogs, similar to Mastiff, Moloss and
Wolfhound. Name “Bulldog” (literally means bull dog) was
mentioned for the first time in the 16 century. The
functional purpose of these dogs was very cruel – dogs
were trained for bull baiting. Due to selecting only the
most courageous, intelligent, fearless representatives of
the breed could give next generation. The fate of the
weak, slow or too large dogs was predetermined during
fight. This cruel bulls’ fighting was banned only in 1835.
Dog owners began to crossbreed their pets with other
breeds, which enabled a new line of fighting dogs to
develop and have led to change in the appearance of a
bulldog. Modern American Bulldog owes his appearance to
the settlers from England to America, which took their
pets to the New World and thus protected the breed from
the changes under the influence of terriers’ blood.
