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. :-)

The American was known for a long time as just a plain ol "bulldog" and may
still be so in some circles. The AKC doesn't recognize the AmBull. If the
dog you saw was short, stocky and probably wrinkly then it was an English
Bulldog. Its not that uncommon for people to leave off the identifier when
referring to bulldogs, just lumping them all together under one breed name.
