i have one pure bred American Bulldog(Kaydee) and co-own another American Bulldog(Bo) and i have an American Bulldog/American Mastiff mix aka Rock Dog (Ben) and then there is Cindi the pit or pit mix.
The two pure breds are stable and predictable, they are spot on for the breed standard when it comes to personality and looks, Ben LOOKS like an AB but he is aloof and shy and unsure of himself. but he's a good boy. part of it is because he was a kennel dog and part of it is his breedings. from what i have read about "Rock Dogs" is they were created by drug dealers to look and act vicious but still allow "trafficking"
Ben was not used for that, but that is the history on that breed. If i had only known that before i got him i probably wouldnt have brought him home. my other two dogs i can rely on to be protective in any situation, but Ben would probably turn tail and run if he was ever challenged by a wild animal or an intruder. i hope i am wrong, but.... i have a feeling that i'm not.
