American Bulldogs, with their robust build and distinct appearance, have captured the hearts of many dog enthusiasts. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the world of American Bulldogs, shedding light on their defining traits, various types, and how they are classified within the canine kingdom.
1. Jason bloodline
Characteristics of the Jason bloodline:
The American Bulldog of the Jason bloodline has strong athletic power, a solid, compact body structure, and is called: “White Mastiff”. Compared with the Scott Bulldog, the American Bulldog of the Jason bloodline has a larger body, broad shoulder structure, strong, thick bones, drooping fur, and overwhelming tooth structure ( underbite), the facial skin is loose, and the mouth structure is very short.
History of the Jason bloodline:
In the 1970s, breeder Jason D used his two American Standard Bulldog bitches (Queen Grace and Sugar Doll) to mate with a then-named (extremely ideal) American West Champion British Bull. In the next two months, Queen Grace’s puppies were all a combination of English pit bulls and American pit bulls, with a genetic match of 50% and 50% respectively. However, among the puppies born by Tang Wawa, 3 puppies only contained 30% of the British Bulldog gene, and the other 70% basically completed the mutation. thereby forming new variants. Jason named the bloodlines of these 3 dogs after him. Thus laying a solid foundation for today’s Jason bloodline American Bulldog.
In the following years, Jason continued to make serious and scientific improvements to the Jason bloodline. He found that the three dogs of Tangwa all had strong and full heads, but their athletic abilities were generally reduced. Because their weight is much heavier than the previous American Bulldogs, their weight of no less than 55 kilograms reduces their athletic ability. So Mr. Jason conducted many cross-matchings with the standard American Bulldog, and finally formed a perfect new stable mutant. They are tall, with uniform body structure, agility, endurance, and long-lasting movement cells. Their heads are wider and their faces more compact. It has completely broken away from the shadow of the standard American Bulldog. Finally named Jason the American Bulldog and successfully registered it in 1998! A new chapter for the American Bulldog!
2. Scott bloodline (standard American Bulldog)
Characteristics of the Jason bloodline:
The American Bulldog of the Scott bloodline is larger in size, has a slightly rough overall structure, and has long legs, and is known as the “white pit bull”. They are slightly lighter and more agile than the Jason bloodline American Bulldog. But they have more powerful muscles and athletic ability than the Jason bloodline American Bulldog. Their dental structure is orthognathic. Weight is about 45 kg.
History of the Jason bloodline:
The American Bulldog of the Scott bloodline is said to be the ancestor of the American Bulldog. They were formed 300 years ago to protect livestock on farms across the American continent. The character of the Scott bloodline American Bulldog is more wild and rough. They are incredibly predatory and aggressive. In the early days, they were used for hunting and bullfighting. Many years ago, a small number were also used in illegal dog fighting competitions.
3. American Bulldog of Patel bloodline
In 1970, the Argentinian Petel bred a new American Bulldog bloodline and named it the Petel Argentinian American Bulldog. They only weigh around 35kg and were bred for the sole purpose of being used in the illegal dog fighting business.
4. Old Southern “White” bloodline American Bulldog
History of the Old South “White” bloodline:
The history dates back 100 years ago. With the vigorous rise of American bulldogs in the American continent, the British finally couldn’t sit still. The British believed that only Britain was the birthplace of all bulldogs, and only they had ownership of bulldogs. The right to explain, so a “war” of American bulldogs started.
Fellow Britons organized a group called “White England” who did not recognize the bloodline breeds of Scott and Jason and vowed to create a new bulldog to be named the Old South White. But in fact, the British Southern White is basically derived from the Scottish Bulldog of the United States. But they don’t admit it. The British established their own foundation for the breeding of Old South White bulldogs, and have always claimed that they had never heard of American Scott bulldogs.
Since the members of the Old Southern White organization did not have much scientific basis in the breeding process, but blindly imitated the Scott bloodline, the result was that the Old Southern White bloodline was extremely close to the American Scott bloodline. It doesn’t have many characteristics of its own. The Concord Fund has now disbanded, but some local home breeders in the UK are still breeding Old Southern White Bulldogs using the Scott bloodline. But it is obvious that in this war between the United States and Britain in the American Bulldog, the final victor belongs to the Americans.

Currently used for family companion dogs, competitive play, and ornamental display competition. Since the Kennedy bloodline is a mutated adult bred in modern times, it has more scientific basis, theoretical practice, and more stable genetic genes in the breeding process, so he came from behind and surpassed all other bloodlines except the Jason bloodline. At present, together with the Jason bloodline, it is the target of American Bulldog lovers all over the world.
History of the Haberd bloodline:
The Highball bloodline family is a large, luxurious, scientific, and new American bullfighting bloodline family. They have a strong Kennedy bloodline and the famous Mufasa bloodline.
20 years ago, the American breeder Mr. Kennedy used the Jason bloodline as the main line, the Scott bloodline as a supplement, and slightly matched the Patel bloodline. Repeated cross-matching breeding finally formed the current strong and stable bloodline- —Kennedy bloodline American Bulldog.
