Where are American Bulldogs from?

British immigrants brought their English Bulldogs to the American South and used them on their farms as guardians and catch dogs. After World War II, John Johnson and Alan Scott revitalized the breed and created two specific genetic lines: the Bully type and the Classic type. While American Bulldogs have their roots in the southern United States, they have since gained popularity across the country and even internationally as loyal companions, guardians, and working dogs. Today, American Bulldogs are recognized as a distinct breed, with breed standards set by kennel clubs such as the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the United Kennel Club (UKC).
