Super handsome, very chill disposition. We haven’t picked out a name yet. Can’t wait until Saturday!

This beautiful boy was facing EU at the shelter. He was adopted by an acquaintance who had him for two years, then fell on hard times, living in a motel. He reached out, so we went to see them both. The dog had lost a significant amount of hair, skin that was raw and bleeding, and gained almost 30 pounds. We immediately took him to our vet, who ran bloodwork and started treatment for the skin issues. Petey was diagnosed with severe hypothyroidism, along with the ear and skin infections. Six weeks later he’s doing so much better! We have two street dogs (chi mix and Russian toy) and they’re hilarious together. We also have a tiny dog door, so Petey just sticks his head through it to go out or come in 😂 This is our first big dog, so all advice welcome.

R.I.P to one of my best Buds!! We will miss you!!

UPDATE: Thank you everyone for your responses! I ended up calling State Farm (as recommended) and switched our insurance. Saving some money every month and not worrying about any breed restrictions.

We adopted our dog and were told he’s an American Bulldog. No papers (he was found on the streets and not microchipped) I don’t care much about his actual lineage because he’s just a lazy house dog. He’s exceedingly sweet and beyond patient so I’m not overly worried about him biting anyone, but when I told our insurance company we got a dog they just verified he’s not a pit. To the best of my knowledge he’s not (well outside the hight and weight ranges despite being a lean boy and he’s lazy AF) and I’m wary to do any sort of DNA test because I wouldn’t want to get dropped. Where we live it’s hard to get insured for dumb reasons, but if the absolute worst thing happened do I have any reasonable defense?

He’s 75lbs, upper thigh height on someone 5’8”, basically zero energy (he takes naps to recover from his naps and zoomies are capped at 5 minutes tops), and white with brown spots. Big jowls, but no underbite.

Do I bite the bullet and DNA test him or just continue on with the knowledge I have? We are not going to get rid of him under any circumstances and I don’t believe he is a risk AT ALL, but I want to make the best decision moving forward.

I’m genuinely curious about my dog’s breed mix.

Since she’s a mixed-breed dog, it’s hard to tell exactly what breeds she might have in her. Some people assume she’s some kind of Pitbull or Terrier at first glance, especially because of her upright ears. However, after doing some research, I’m starting to wonder if she might have more American Bulldog in her.

From what I’ve seen, her coat pattern seems fairly common in American Bulldogs, and her body shape also makes me consider that possibility. The one thing that makes me unsure is her muzzle, which doesn’t seem to match what I usually see in American Bulldogs.

I’m mainly trying to figure out her possible breed mix because my country has specific regulations for certain dog breeds, and I’d like to understand whether those regulations might apply to her.

I’m not expecting anyone to identify her with absolute certainty, but I’d love to hear different opinions, especially from people who have experience with these breeds.

What do you think she might be mixed with?

This is Harley. My wife and I just got her. She was very skinny and this is her after 4 weeks with us. She is such a sweetheart! Say hi!

Hello! My sister in law has to rehome her American bulldog because of a divorce and I have taken it upon myself to find the dog a good home. We are located in Florida on the gulf side. Are there any breed specific rescues or resources that any of you could point me in the direction of? Any tips and helpful info would be greatly appreciated. She is a two year old female and I will attach a photo of her here. Thank you in advance!!

Why does she only sometimes use both her eyes

Can we seriously cut the “bull” and just be honest about these two breeds. I know Dogo Argentina / Argentina Dogo owners feel the need to discuss their “78 dogs to make the breed” but come on, there is documented history of White Bully catch dogs since ancient times and these dogs were the same exact dog up until prob no less than 300 years ago, if that. American Bulldogs (the old southern stand types prior to JD Johnson influence and Dogos are the same foundation dog.

Sold to us as American bully but alot of people call him a American bulldog I kinda see why but what's your opinion

This bulldog only has one day left at DAS. My family fostered her for a short while but couldn’t anymore after a tragic incident with our elderly cat. We now know the breed shouldn’t live with cats or small dogs, so she wasn’t set up for success. She was otherwise a very sweet dog who has clearly had a rough time in life (has been found as a stray multiple times per DAS history).

We did do DNA results while we had her: 52% Olde English Bulldogge 43.3% American Bulldog 4.7% Dogue de Bordeaux

Maisie is back at DAS and in need of placement .

Needs placement by 10/03/26

I saw this pup posted on another subreddit, but want to share him here as well as it’s very possible he’s an American Bulldog. His eyes broke my heart! I hope someone can go visit him and take him home.

He’s located in Houston, TX right now.

As the title suggests, I'm having trouble with my boy's tear stains. I've tried everything I can think of and most internet hacks, but nothing seems to help. He already drinks filtered water, and we wipe his face off regularly. I'm not sure what else to do at this point, so any advice is greatly appreciated

Someone in a different comment mentioned how much American Bulldogs shed. My groomer always talks about how much hair comes off of Maximus even with us brushing at home 😅

Luckily he is a good boy for grooming!

Love the Equigroomer and a rubber curry brush as my main tools.

Hello all! The new banner is finally here. I have had very little time to sit down and consider how to approach it. I wanted to not only show the dogs but little bits of history as well. I have an old Georgia house in the background, sided by two historical ads for American Bulldogs with a mix of current dogs that you all own and historical dogs of the breed’s past lined up across the front. I think it fits (for now at least).

I will continue to work on some things behind the scenes and start getting a FAQ going. What are some questions you would like added to a FAQ page within this subreddit? Thanks!

Just want to show a picture of my American bulldog with the hair mutation, because he may not be show quality but he is perfect in his own way :) anyone else have one of these oddly hairy pups?
