Their fierce devotion to family has earned them the label of "the white knight of the dog world,"
and the breed's reputation for fierce protectionism, strength, and resiliency has made it an American cultural icon.
American bulldogs may look tough on the outside, but they're actually quite kind and affectionate dogs
who would make wonderful companions for those who are prepared to shower them with lots of TLC.
Among the fifty dog breeds with American ancestry, the American Bulldog is among the most prominent.
Thankfully, the breed has been revived and refined to become a reliable worker,
a devoted family pet, and an assured performer in conformational dog shows.
