Species group: Mixed Breeds

The basics:
RightPet does not advocate the intentional cross-breeding of purebred dogs. But the reality is that most dogs available for adoption at shelters and rescues are mixed breeds. We think it might be helpful to hear from owners of these mixes to see what traits can be found in these dogs who are desperately needing homes.

 All mixed breeds are individuals but if you have a dog that appears to be mostly American Bulldog, it's useful to take a look at the likely traits it will inherit from that emerging breed. This mix will almost certainly require consistent training and exercise, but they can be rewarding pets for active, confident owners.

Appearance / health:
All mixed-breed dogs can vary in appearance, but in general with the American Bulldog mix you can expect a stocky, muscular dog with a short, easy-care coat.

Behavior / temperament:
It's impossible to predict the exact traits inherited by a mixed-breed dog. However, as a general rule, with the American Bulldog mix, you can expect a loyal family companion who can be stubborn if not trained with respect and kindness.
