American Bulldog Shepherd

The American Bulldog Shepherd is a modern hybrid with little documentation on breeding and history. Considered a working-class hybrid, the American Bulldog Shepherd serves as a guard and watchdog as well as a family companion. The American Bulldog Shepherd was developed in the United States and is made up of two popular breeds, the America Bulldog, and the German Shepherd. The German Shepherd brings excellent guarding and watching to the breed as well as high intelligence and some aloofness with strangers. The American Bulldog parent further strengthens the loyalty of this hybrid and adds a big soft heart to the breed as well as additional strength and endurance. Currently, only the Dog Registry of America recognizes this dog, which is said to have more German Shepherd qualities than American Bulldog. One look at this beautiful dog and you can easily see the German Shepherd lineage. The American Bulldog adds a soft and loving nature that may be otherwise reserved in a German Shepherd and makes this hybrid an excellent family dog. The German Shepherd parent line has high guard instincts while the American Bulldog may show aggression towards other dogs and animals. Each American Bulldog Shepherd is unique, but all require early and proper socialization with family, people, places, and other animals to help overcome some of the instinctual behaviors. With proper exercise, socialization, and mental stimulation, this hybrid breed has great potential in the home as a protective and loving family dog.
