American Bullador

The American Bullador is a cross between two favorites in America: the American Bulldog and the Labrador Retriever. The intentional hybrid breeding of these two favorites was to produce a new line that was healthier and stronger than its parents but possessed some of the best qualities of both sides. The Bulldog genes of this hybrid are sometimes reported as American Bulldog and other times as English Bulldogs or as both. The English and the American are both closely related through the Mastiff (Bull) lineage, but the American Bulldog stands taller than the English Bulldog and has a close resemblance to the Staffordshire Bull Terrier breeds; another close relative. Breeders have been crossing and breeding multi generational American Bulladors in the United States since the 1900s and hope to establish a recognizable breed in time but currently, there are no set standards for appearance, and the American Bullador can range in looks from a striking American Bulldog to an unquestionable Labrador. Weight can also vary widely in this hybrid from 55 pounds up to a reported weight of 100 pounds, though the average range is between 55 and 85 pounds among the sexes. The American Bullador is recognized by the Dog Registry of America and the American Canine Hybrid Club as a working-class hybrid. The American Bullador is a dutiful watchdog, and family protector who doubles as a fantastic family companion but will vary in temperament depending which parent breed the hybrid leans towards. If your American Bullador is more Bulldog, he will likely be a little more stubborn and have more energy to burn, but if the Labrador is stronger, he will be easier to train and slightly less active.
