The American and English bulldog both come from the same line, but differ greatly in appearance. While the English bulldog is short, stubby and wrinkly; the American bulldog is slimmer and has a face that reminds me somewhat of a pit-bull. Did you know there are a few others factors that make the English and the American bulldog each unique from one another?

The American bulldog doesn’t have as much of a breathing problem as the English bulldog because of their different face shapes. While the English bulldog is typically used as only a family pet, the American bulldog is often used as a drug dog and gang busting. The slimmer body figure of the American bulldog makes them able to run quicker, jump higher and have a much higher overall energy than the American bulldog.

The English bulldog is typically a better pet for children because of their loving temperate. The American bulldog is a sweet dog as well, but the English is more likely to bond and protect a child. Both English and American bulldogs make good house watch dogs, but the American may have the advantage in this area because of their ability to move at a faster rate.

Both American and English bulldogs are loving animals and are equally found as members of the family. My favorite would have to be the English bulldog because I adore their stumpy bodies and adorable faces, but worry about the breathing problems that could exist with this type of bulldog.
