Country of Origin:
The American Bulldog originated as a catchdog (mostly cattle) and property protection dog, in America's Southeast. He was not bred to put
on threat displays or to look a certain way. But, he did need the right equipment to take care of his real bulldog duties which were confrontational
personal and property protection and as a catch dog. He needed to be strong enough to put unruly bulls on the ground and athletic enough to catch hogs that were allowed to free range in a semi-wild state. Known originally as the Old Country Bulldog or Old English White. Quite similar to the old 17th century bull-baiter.
