Alright, let’s gab about these bulldogs, the American one and the British one. Folks keep askin’ me, which one’s better? Well, hold your horses, it ain’t that simple. It’s like apples and oranges, both good, just different, you know?
First off, let’s talk about how they look. Them British Bulldogs, they got that squished-in face, kinda like they ran into a wall, bless their hearts. And they waddle when they walk, cute as a button, but not exactly built for chasin’ squirrels. They got short legs and a wide body, like a little tank. They are kinda short, you know? Not very tall.

Now, the American Bulldogs, they’re somethin’ else. Taller, leaner, and they got a snout that sticks out, not all pushed in. They look more like, you know, a regular dog, but beefier. They got longer legs and they can really move. They’re strong, like them fellas who work down at the construction site.
- British Bulldog Look: Squished face, short legs, waddles when they walk.
- American Bulldog Look: Longer snout, taller, leaner, and moves good.
Okay, now let’s get to the important stuff – how they act. Them British fellas, they’re like big ol’ couch potatoes. They love to lay around, snore louder than my old man, and just be petted. They’re gentle, good with kids, and don’t need a whole lot of exercise. Perfect if you ain’t got much time for walkin’ and such.
The American ones, though, they got more energy than a hummingbird on a sugar rush. They need to run around, play fetch, and generally cause a ruckus. They’re smart, too, gotta keep ’em busy or they’ll start chewin’ on your furniture, and trust me, you don’t want that. They’re loyal, protective, and make good watchdogs, always keepin’ an eye out for trouble. But you gotta train ’em good, or they’ll be runnin’ the show. And they are strong, mind you. If they don’t listen, you can have some problems.
So, which one’s better? Well, it depends on what you’re lookin’ for. If you want a calm, cuddly buddy who’ll watch TV with you, the British Bulldog is your guy. If you want an active, playful pal who’ll go on adventures with you, then the American Bulldog is the way to go. Just remember, both of ’em need love, attention, and good food. Don’t skimp on the treats, ya hear?
Now, let’s talk about how long they live. This here is important, ‘cause nobody wants to say goodbye to their furry friend too soon. Them American Bulldogs, they’re tougher, you know? They can live a good long time, maybe even 16 years, if you take care of ‘em right. That’s a lot of dog years! They do get sick sometimes, like all of us do, but mostly they’re strong as an ox. But, if you don’t let them run and play, they get bored. And you dont’ want a bored bulldog. They start barking and chewing everything up. They will turn your house into a mess, so be careful.
The British fellas, well, they ain’t so lucky. They got more health problems, what with that squished-in face and all. They don’t live as long, maybe 8 or 10 years if you’re lucky. It’s sad, but it’s just the way it is. You gotta be prepared for that. You need to take them to the vet more often too.
And another thing, them French Bulldogs, they’re little fellas, cute as can be. They’re great with kids, always happy to play and cuddle. But this article is not about them. But they are good dogs.

So, there you have it. The lowdown on American Bulldogs and British Bulldogs. Both good dogs, just different. Do your research, think about what kind of dog fits your lifestyle, and then go find yourself a furry friend. And remember, a dog ain’t just a pet, it’s family. Treat ’em right, and they’ll give you more love than you ever thought possible.
And make sure they got plenty of food and water and a warm place to sleep. And love them. That’s it.
