All About the American Bulldog

The basic breed standard for the American Bulldog changed very little, there was several disqualifications in the standards that we felt should not have been disqualifications. After reviewing the standards, changes were made to the disqualifications making most of them either a cosmetic fault or serious fault. Now the only disqualifications in the American breed standards for conformation are: extreme viciousness or shyness, in the dogs bite (both types) parrot mouth or closed mouth with visible teeth, color - blue, any dog that has been spayed or neutered, male dogs that do not have 2 visible testicles, and blindness or deafness. The changes that were made was in the allow weights for both types of dogs, the size of the bite of the dog. Clarification was made for the allowable color of dogs, fault for the muzzle being full continues black mask, any eye color other than brown is a cosmetic fault, males that do not have 2 visible testicles, and females in heat are not to be shown or allowed in the proximity. We hope by eliminating most of the disqualifications and by clarifying some of the questions that have come from the standards, more dogs will be able to participate successfully in the Conformation Shows with out the question that their dog wasn't judged properly. There was a lot of time and consideration put into these changes to better the current standard we have for American Bulldogs.
Historically the American Bulldog was bred to be a “farm utility dog” that was used for farm work. They were also very much a part of the family, and were instrumental in personal and property protection as well. General Appearance:
The American Bulldog is a well balanced, short-coated, muscular and athletic animal. American Bulldogs display great strength, endurance, and agility. Males are characteristically larger, heavier boned and more masculine than the females.

Answer: All good breeders start with a “pedigree” of their animal; as an owner of an American Bulldog, you need to determine if you own a “Classic”, a “Standard”, or a “Johnson-type” American Bulldog. However, the ARF has made this determination for you, on your “ARF Certificate of Registration”, as a prefix, on your bulldog’s ARF Registration Number. For example, if there is a letter “C” in front of your dog’s registration number, your American Bulldog is considered to be a “Classic” bulldog, originating from Mr. John D. Johnson’s kennel. Further, if there is a letter “S” in front of the registration number, your American Bulldog is considered to be a “Standard” bulldog, having originated from both Mr. John D. Johnson’s and Mr. Alan Scott’s kennels. However, if the letters “JT” appear in front of your bulldog’s registration number, your bulldog is classified with the ARF as being a “Johnson-type”, a cross between the “Classic” and the “Standard” bloodlines. Therefore, depending on how you wish your puppies to turn out, by having the pronounced “Classic” [bully] appearance, or by having the “Standard” appearance [not appearing as “bully”], you therefore must read the pedigree of both your “Sire” and “Dam” to determine the future appearance of your pups.
While we are on this topic, it should be clarified as to how the Johnson “Classic” American Bulldog came into being. Some years ago, Mr. Johnson assisted Mr. David Leavitt, of Pennsylvania , and owner of Bull Meade Kennel, to help him re-create the “Olde English Bulldogge” of the 17th century. While in the developing stage, Mr. Leavitt used an extremely large AKC English Bulldog, named “Westchamp’s High Hopes”, that he owned, and, he crossed it with one of Mr. Johnson’s “Standard” American Bulldogs, named “King’s Lady Grace of JDJ”, ARF No.: AB1026, and, from that breeding, the Johnson’s “Classic ‘Machine’ and ‘Sugar Doll’ American Bulldog bloodlines” were introduced to expand the limited American Bulldog population, which is classified as a rare breed.
Again, let us pause here for a moment and discuss the “genetics” of today’s AKC English Bulldog, and the ARF American Bulldog. Did I say discuss? Unfortunately, there is nothing to discuss, in regards to the 17th century genetics, in regards to both these breeds, as that breeding information has been lost. Therefore, no one can take the existing breeds of today and re-create the “English Bulldog” or the “American Bulldog”; so, when people ask, “What canine genes comprise an American Bulldog?”, we can only answer, “We don’t honestly know.” But, we know this, the evolution of the bulldog originated in Britain , after it was made a Roman province in 50 A.D, descending from the Asiatic mastiff. In the 14th century, circa 1390, the bulldog was referred to as an English “Alaunt”, and, it was said to be a dog of great size, strength, and courage, and was used in the chase of both lions and bears. It was during the reigns of Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, King James I, and King Charles I (circa 1550/1649), and the reign of Charles II (circa 1660/1685), that bull-baiting and bear-baiting became the sport of Kings. However, bull and bear-baiting was outlawed in England , in the 19th century, and these “English Bulldogs” were bred down to look like what they are today. But, in late 17th and early 18th century, our early-American population consisted of Englishmen who came to America , and brought these original English “bulldogs” with them. Therefore, it has been assumed that both the original “English” and the “American” bulldog, come from the same roots; however, to make the English Bulldog much different from its American Bulldog cousin, its creators had to take advantage of “recessive genes” that has caused the English Bulldog to have a more bully, but wide and compact massive head, and shorter legs, and, now is esteemed as a companion dog, and not that of a working bulldog.
Therefore, when Mr. Johnson made this “one-time” out-cross, to an “English Bulldog”, with one of his original “Standard American Bulldogs”, it also toned down the temperament of his new bloodlines; and, therefore, created a very good-natured, reserved, loyal, clean and aristocratic domesticated canine. However, it should be noted here, that because of their original 19th century nature, when the bulldog was still used in combats, it was aggressive, ferocious, so-much-so, in fact, that the Romans proclaimed a decree that forbade taking a bulldog through the streets; therefore, it is the breeder’s responsibility to temperament-test each of his dogs, so that his American Bulldogs continue to remain good-natured, and not be aggressive towards man.
Therefore, in your breeding program, keep in mind, the “Classic” American Bulldog is a great-appearing bulldog; however, the dog’s size, and the short “bully” muzzle, can, and oftentimes will be, a detriment to the bulldog, provided the bulldog is being used as a working catch dog. The reason being, a 130-to-160-pound bulldog is not going to have the endurance of a 100-to-120-pound bulldog; also, the short muzzle may cause difficulties in the dog’s breathing. Therefore, it is necessary to consider what strain of American Bulldog that you wish to breed; breeding for work, for companionship, for competition, or for a “happy medium” between the “Classic” and the “Standard” bloodlines, which we refer to as being the “Johnson-type”.
BREEDING PROCEDURE
For those who have purchased “Johnson-type” [JT] American Bulldogs [a bloodline cross between the Classic” [C] and the “Standard” [S] American Bulldogs, as shown on their pedigrees, if it is your breeding goal to have your American Bulldogs obtain the “C” [Classic], or an “S” [Standard], on your dogs’ ARF Certificates of Registration, you must adhere to this breeding program. For example:
If on your ARF pedigree, your Sire [or Dam] is shown to be 100% “Classic”, and your Dam [or Sire] is shown to be 100% “Standard”, your 1st generation of American Bulldog pups will be considered to be 50% “Classic” and 50% “Standard”, making your litter “Johnson-type” American Bulldogs. However, let’s say you want to produce a more “Classic-looking” bulldog; therefore, you must take your 1st generation “Johnson-type” American Bulldog, and breed him/her back to another 100% “Classic” American Bulldog. When that litter is born, those 2nd generation pups will be 75% “Classic” and 25% “Standard”. If you continue this breeding program, by breeding back to a 100% “Classic” American Bulldog, to each successive generation of pups, the following will result …
3rd generation will be 7/8th “Classic” & 1/8th “Standard”; a/k/a a “Johnson-type”.
4th generation will be 15/16th “Classic” & 1/16th “Standard”; a/k/a a “Johnson-type”.
5th generation will be 31/32nd “Classic” & 1/32nd “Standard”; a/k/a a “Johnson-type”. However, when the 6th generation of pups are born, these pups are no longer considered as being “Johnson-type”, but being 100% Johnson “Classic” American Bulldogs.
Again, the above breeding program is the same for those who are breeding “Standard” American Bulldogs.
Note: With each breeding, you, the breeder, are increasing the genetics of one side of the family tree, while reducing the other side, or, you are breeding the two sides to maintain a balance, or a percentage between the two sides. Therefore, to assist you in your breeding program, see our “ARF’s Solution To Genetic Realignment”.
Finally, before you breed, have your dogs’ hips, elbows, & eyes evaluated, to ensure that you are breeding healthy dogs, to produce healthy pups. Afterwards, to maintain an accurate record of your breeding program, be sure to use an ARF Application for Litter Pedigrees, to ARF-register all your American Bulldogs’ offspring.

DECLARATION of FACTS
I, John D. Johnson, being of lawful age, do make the following Declaration of Facts:
1. My current residence is as follows:
140 Hinton StreetSummerville , Georgia 30747
2. By the sustaining power of our Lord Jesus Christ, and, with His help, I declare, that I, John D. Johnson, along with my beloved wife, Mildred Johnson, have dedicated our lives to the preservation of the American Bulldog, from becoming an extinct breed; the focus of our work began over 3 decades ago.
Originally, my dogs were registered with the National Kennel Club [NKC], as “American [Pit] Bulldogs”. However, I became dissatisfied with the work of NKC’s former 1964 Founder and Administrator, Mr. M. E. Hopper, and the confusion of the “American [Pit] Bulldog” name. I therefore contacted Mr. Tom D. Stodghill, the 1947 Founder of the Animal Research Foundation [ARF], in Quinlan , Texas , in regards to registering my rare breed of old-time bulldogs with the ARF.
I explained to Mr. Stodghill, that the term “Pit” in the breed’s name caused much confusion with some people, as they thought my rare breed of old-time bulldog was a type of an “American Pit Bull Terrier”, which they are not! My dogs are much larger and heavier than a “Terrier-type” dog, and their temperament is entirely different, being very social with both adults and children. It was at that time, I suggested to Mr. Stodghill that the term “Pit” be dropped from the breed’s name. Mr. Stodghill, ARF’s Genealogist, agreed that the use of the word “Pit” was a misnomer, and that the official breed name, from that time forward, would be recognized, and ARF-registered, as “American Bulldogs”.
3. At that time, Mr. Stodghill recommended that I become a member of the ARF, so I became an ARF Lifetime Certified Breeder. Prior to Mr. Stodghill’s death, in 1989, we became very good friends; between us, we shared our common interest in working dogs and various breeding techniques. As a result of my long affiliation with the ARF, on May 8th, 2005 , I was awarded an ARF plaque, commemorating my 30 years of achievement, as an ARF Certified Breeder of American Bulldogs.
4. Within the past 30 years, I have placed advertisements in Mr. Stodghill’s ARF magazine; also, Mr. Stodghill printed letters in his magazine, especially those I had written to him, as well as the ones he wrote back to me. He did this to help others, who would eventually want to have more information on the American Bulldog. One of my letters to Mr. Stodghill was printed in “Stodghill’s Animal Research Magazine”, Issue No.: 64, 1980, as follows:
“I reply to the letter you sent me, from Mr. Baker, concerning the American Bulldog and the Pit Bull Terrier. The American Bulldog is the same dog that was developed in England in the 12th century, by the meat packers, to catch large bulls, to kill for meat, as they did not have the facilities to handle them. They were called “Packers’ Dogs” for a couple of hundred of years; t then they started bull baiting with them, and they then were called “Bull Baiting Dogs”. Later, they were registered as ‘English Bulldogs’ [“The AKC Dog Book” refers to the breed as “Bulldogs”.]. They also were ‘pit’ fought over there [ England ], against each other, badgers, lions, and anything that would fight. They were brought over here [ America ] in the 17th century, as the country was full of wild cows and hogs, and we needed something that could catch them for meat; they also were used as protection dogs for the home, and owners. In the 18th century, England outlawed all types of fighting, and they were no longer needed in their present form, so they bred them down in size [smaller] to the present ‘English Bulldog’ [state]. We kept our Bulldogs in the [original] large state, and I have developed them even larger than the original. I have one young stud dog that weighs 135 lbs., all bone and muscle, and is still spreading in his shoulders. They have nothing but Bulldog in them.
“The ‘Bull Terrier’ is a cross between the ‘English Terrier’ and ‘English Bulldog’ (60 percent ‘Terrier’ and 40 percent ‘Bulldog’). The [‘American] Staffordshire Terrier’ is 50 percent ‘English Bulldog’ and 50 percent ‘English Terrier’; the ‘American [Pit] Bull Terrier’ is a cross between the two types.
[“Pete”, from “Our Gang” comedy series, of the 1930’s, achieved national attention for the breed in 1935; the American Kennel Club entered “Pete” as the first dual-registered “UKC” and “AKC” Pit Bull. The breed was AKC-registered as a “Staffordshire Terrier”; the name was revised to “American Staffordshire Terrier” on January 1, 1972 .]
“David Leavitt’s ‘Olde Bulldogge’ (or ‘Olde English Bulldogge’), that he is breeding up is crossed between ‘English Bulldogs’, ‘American Bulldogs’, ‘American Pit Bull Terriers’, and ‘Bullmastiffs’. The term ‘Giant [AKC English] Bulldog’ is used some in my dogs because of their extreme large size. Over the years, I have developed a system to breed them into giants. They are a real protective dog for the family and home; they are real smart; you can teach them anything. They love children. Some do trim ears and dock tails, but is not advisable.”
S/ John D. Johnson140 Hinton StreetSummerville , Georgia 30747
5. For over 3 decades, I have registered my American Bulldogs with the ARF; therefore, the ARF database has the most complete and most accurate records of my American Bulldogs, of any organization that now exists, either here in the United States, Canada, Europe, or Australia.
6. I have dedicated my life to the preservation, recognition, and registration of the American Bulldog; therefore, it is my recommendation that all American Bulldogs be ARF-registered first, prior to being registered in any other registry. Further, I have complete confidence in the ARF, knowing that they care about my American Bulldog as much as I do.
Also, I want to be on record, that after seeing what the “American Kennel Club [AKC]” has done to destroy so many good breeds of dogs, I do not ever want to see my American Bulldogs registered with the AKC. Also, I want to declare that the so-called “Animal Research Foundation Europe [ARFE]”, doing fraudulent business in Holland, The Netherlands, founded and owned by Mr. Jan Dirk van Ginneke, is not affiliated with the “Animal Research Foundation [ARF]”, in the United States of America . Therefore, I recommend that all true American Bulldog enthusiasts avoid the “ARFE”, and that all future American Bulldog dog buyers stay away from purchasing any so-called “ARFE-registered American Bulldogs”, as there is no qualified individual, within the ARFE, who can confirm ARFE’s pedigree as being authentic. Therefore, I publicly declare, Mr. Jan Dirk van Ginneke’s illegitimate, unauthorized registering, and use of the “Animal Research Foundation” name, on March 20, 1989 , as “Animal Research Foundation Europe [ARFE]”, and as recorded in Holland , The Netherlands, was done completely without Mr. Tom D. Stodghill’s knowledge or approval.
Further, I, John D. Johnson, being not only the oldest, but the world’s most recognized leader in the preservation of “American Bulldogs”, consider Mr. Van Ginneke’s ARFE registry, Holland , The Netherlands, as both an insult to me and to the late Mr. Tom D. Stodghill’s “Animal Research Foundation”. Mr. Van Ginneke has not only bastardized my American Bulldogs, by cross breeding them with other breeds, and, then, by ARFE-registering them, he also publicly advertises and sells his ARFE-registered dogs to the unsuspecting public as “American Bulldogs”. And, to give his registered ARFE-business name credence, he has, by constructive fraud, stolen Mr. Tom D. Stodghill’s “Animal Research Foundation’s” business trade name, which he established in 1947.
7. I highly recommend the ARF, above all other dog registries. Further, I recommend that all my American Bulldog buyers register their American Bulldog and puppies with the Animal Research Foundation [ARF], C/o 11182 highway 34 South, Quinlan , Texas TPZ 75474.
Therefore, I, John D. Johnson, do solemnly declare and attest that all the above facts are true to the best of my knowledge and belief.

One of my letters to Mr. Stodghill was reprinted in “Stodghill’s Animal Research Magazine”, Issue No. 72, 1982, as follows:
“I received the new magazine today, and read the letter Mr. Johnson [John D. Johnson] wrote to you about changing the name of the American ‘Pit’ Bulldog to American Bulldog to cause less confusion. I think this idea is wonderful now, as I did when my friend Joe Painter of Lockport, Illinois, suggested it to me about a month ago; we kicked the idea around a few times, and he said he had mentioned it to Mr. Johnson. I think this idea will keep the two breeds from becoming mixed.
“I am enclosing pictures of my American Bulldogs and a story that I wrote some time back. I also am enclosing a check for a 1/4 page ad in your Special American Bulldog edition of the ARF Magazine.
“I hope this letter finds you and Ms. Eunice in good health. Your Fellow Breeder …
