From the Inside Flap
Whether you are interested in an American Bulldog as a faithful companion or want to compete against elite Bulldoggers in protection, obedience, weight pull, hog hunting or the show ring, this book will give you the detailed information you need. The history of the English Bulldog is explored from ancient times to the late 19th century. Fascinating aspects of Bulldog history are presented that appear nowhere else. The origins of the American Bulldog from the Old English dog are analyzed and chronicled. With over 300 color photos as well as dozens of historical prints, a seamless mosaic is painted that guides the reader from prehistoric times to the present, giving a profound appreciatation and understanding of this unique canine gladiator. All bloodlines are investigated: Johnson, Scott, Painter, Williamson, Tate, Bailey and others. The relative merits and drawbacks of different lines and strains are put under a microscope and ruthlessly dissected. For the first time, a large, well-researched body of text exists that tackles the breed as a whole and objectively plumbs the depths of every aspect of the American Bulldog. Grizzled old timers that have raised Bulldogs for 50 years, as well as newcomers that have never seen an American Bulldog, will gain insights that will enhance their experience as American Bulldoggers.
