But if they're two separate breeds, why didn't they specify "English
Bulldog" on the show I was watching? The announcer on the overhead speaker
said "Bulldog" and didn't specify English or American. Is the American not
recognized by the AKC, therefore no reason to specify? Personally, I don't
care for the look of the American. Just too tall and Pitbullish for my
taste. I like the short stocky wrinkly faced ones. :-)

I was watching the dog show on Animal Planet last night and noticed the
"Bulldog" looked like what I know as the English Bulldog. Isn't there
an
American Bulldog also, that doesn't have the smushed up face and
wrinkles
that the English Bulldog has? I had to leave the TV before the show was
over, so I didn't get to see if there were different kinds of bulldogs.
I'm
confused about the dog I saw on the show being called just plain
"Bulldog."
We're starting to look into what I know as the English Bulldog as a
possible
future pet, so I'd like to learn more about this.

The American Bulldog is an entirely different breed. Heck for that
matter,
line up 10 random AmBulls and few of them will look like the same breed as
the others because there's that much variation in them. They can look
like
Pit Bulls, overgrown English Bulldogs, byb Boxers and any mix thereof and
still be called an AmBull.
