American Bulldog

History of the American Bulldog breed

One of the names of the four-legged was the Old English Bulldog. Many breeders believe that it was from him that the history of the American Bulldog originated. It is known that he came to the lands of America together with immigrants, from where he began to be divided into several branches of his appearance due to the fact that it was impossible to track his pure development. He was a kind of "workhorse" for the development of new territories.

What to feed the American Bulldog with?

Feed your American Bulldog in moderation, do not overfeed. Forget about giving him anything from your table, sweet, smoked, etc. These are all prohibited foods. Give preference to premium or super premium dry food, as well as natural food that suits him. It can include cereals without spices, lean meat, vegetables, and sour milk.

American Bulldog Training

When buying an ambulance, it is important to evaluate whether you can educate him correctly. The dog is large, and therefore, without education, it can cause trouble. To avoid this, start socializing at a very early age. Immediately bring the puppy to people, introduce it to other animals. This will reduce the risk of developing aggressive behavior.

It will be very important to teach him to walk correctly, namely to walk next to you, but not in front, dragging you wherever he pleases. If you allow this, you will constantly run after him, because it is not easy to keep a strong dog.

And most importantly, be firm. Do not allow any indulgences in the process of training the American Bulldog, no matter how cute your pet looks at you. Once you give slack, you will have to retrain, or put up with the tailed beasts' misdeeds.
