Alright, let’s talk about them bulldogs, you know, 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 see?
First off, the American Bulldog, now that’s a big fella. I seen some of ’em, they’re huge! Muscles all over the place, like they been workin’ in the fields all their lives. They say these dogs stand tall, maybe up to your knees or higher, and heavy too, like a sack of potatoes, sometimes even two! They’re workers, these dogs, always busy doin’ somethin’. Not like them fancy city dogs, always sittin’ around doin’ nothin’.
Then you got the British Bulldog, or some folks call ’em English Bulldogs. Now these fellas are shorter, more… compact, you know? Like a little barrel rollin’ around. They got those funny wrinkled faces, like they’re always frownin’ or somethin’. But don’t let that fool ya, they’re sweet as pie, most of ‘em. Good for keepin’ you company on the porch, not much for workin’ though.
- Size and Build: Like I said, American ones are big and strong, British ones are short and… stout. That’s the first thing you notice, plain as day.
- Work or Play: American fellas are workers, strong and energetic, always ready to go, always running around. British ones are more laid-back, good for sittin’ around and bein’ your buddy.
- Looks: American ones look tough, like they ain’t afraid of nothin’. British ones, well, they look… unique. All them wrinkles!
Some folks say American Bulldogs come in different types, classic and standard, whatever that means. Sounds like somethin’ them city folks made up to me. All I know is they’re big and strong, no matter what you call ’em.
And that other kind of bulldog, the French one? They call ‘em Frenchies. Now, they’re tiny little things, like toys. Good with kids though, so I hear. Not real bulldogs in my book, not like the American and British ones anyway.
So, which one’s better? Well, it depends on what you want, I reckon. If you need a dog to work, to guard the place, to keep ya safe, the American Bulldog is your best bet. If you want a friend, a companion to sit on the porch with, the British Bulldog is the way to go. It’s like choosin’ between a tractor and a comfy chair, both good for somethin’, just depends on what you need.
And let me tell you somethin’ else, it ain’t just about the breed. It’s how you raise ’em, you know? A good dog is a good dog, no matter what kind it is. You gotta treat ’em right, feed ’em good, and give ’em lots of love. That’s the secret, ain’t no fancy science to it.
I’ve seen some mean American Bulldogs and some lazy British Bulldogs, so it ain’t always cut and dry. You gotta look at the dog itself, see its personality, how it acts. Don’t just go by the breed, that ain’t the whole story.
And one more thing, don’t go gettin’ one of these dogs if you ain’t ready for it. They need attention, they need exercise, they need to be trained. It’s like having another kid, almost. You gotta be responsible, you know? It ain’t fair to the dog if you just get it and then ignore it.
So there you have it, my two cents on them bulldogs. American, British, they both got their good points and their bad points. It’s all about what you’re looking for in a dog. Just do your homework, find a good breeder, and treat the dog right, and you’ll be just fine, no matter which one you choose.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed my own dogs. They ain’t bulldogs, just good old mutts, but they’re the best dogs in the world, far as I’m concerned.
And that thing about “American Bullies” having a different “bully look”, that’s just a bunch of hogwash to me. A bulldog is a bulldog, and a bully is a bully. Don’t need no fancy names for it. And the color? Who cares about the color? A good dog is a good dog, black, white, brown, or whatever.
Remember, a dog is a friend, not just an animal. Treat it good, and it’ll treat you good. That’s all that matters, no matter what kind of bulldog it is, American, British, or whatever else they come up with next.
