Information
	American Bulldog ""Working dog" is an apt description of the American Bulldog.  Originally brought to the American South by English working-class immigrants, this breed helped farmers and ranchers with many everday tasks, such as driving, catching hogs/cattle, and guarding property.  Today's American Bulldog is still an all-purpose working partner, guard dog and family companion. It is loyal and confident with a large head, thick muscular neck, wide nose, powerful jaws and agile body.  American Bulldogs vary considerably with males ideally 22 to 27 inches tall at the withers and weigh 75 to 125 pounds; females 20 to 25 inches tall, weighing 60 to 100 pounds.  It has a short, stiff coat which may come in any color, color pattern, or combination of colors except solid black, blue or tricolor (white with brown and black).  This brave determined breed benefits from plenty of socialization and training from an early age.  Although its strong protective instincts may cause it to be reserved with strangers and possibly aggressive toward other dogs, the devoted American Bulldog demands to be with its family and adores children."

	Bullmastiff "Developed in England as the gamekeeper's night dog, the Bullmastiff represents a cross between the Mastiff and the Bulldog.  The breed's job was to warn the gamekeeper of poachers and, if necessary, throw and hold the intruder but not harm it.  The breed is powerful and compact; males stand up to 27 inches at the shoulder and may weigh up to 130 pounds.  The coat is short and dense in red, fawn or brindle, all with a black mask.  The coat sheds little, and a good weekly rubdown keeps it gleaming and free of dead hair.  The Bullmastiff makes a loyal family pet and a superb guard dog.  These dogs have been known to do well as apartment dwellers but are really house and garden types."  DOGS USA 2005
