About the American Bulldog
The American Bulldog is a large dog breed originating in United States. Adult dogs typically weigh 60 to 120 pounds and live 10 to 14 years. The breed is described as confident, family-bonded, protective, athletic.
Experienced owners with secure fencing, insurance + landlord clearance, and time for daily exercise and structured training. Rentals with breed restrictions, first-time owners, or households unwilling to commit to consistent training.
Adult American Bulldogs need about 60 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 75 minutes. The coat is short-coated with moderate shedding, and brushing every 4 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
