The Answer is sometimes

American Bulldogs can make excellent pets, but it is important to carefully consider whether they are the right fit for you and your household. Here are some key considerations when it comes to determining whether an American Bulldog is a good fit for you

To ensure that your American Bulldog puppy is healthy, it is crucial to buy from a reputable breeder who has health-tested the parents of the puppy and avoid buying from puppy brokers or pet stores, as the puppies from these sources may not come from health-tested parents.

Buy An American Bulldog Puppy From a Good Breeder

There are too many unknowns when you buy a puppy from a pet store or get a dog from a rescue.  Unless you are prepared to rehabilitate a dog or puppy that has not been properly prepared for life with a family, BUY FROM A GOOD BREEDER!


Socializing your Puppy

  • It is critical for American Bulldog puppies to be socialized during their early stages, which is from birth to 16 weeks of age, When a puppy is carefully exposed to regular family life, friends & strangers, sounds, smells and other animals during the first formative 16 weeks, they are prepared mentally to encounter these things in a relaxed and confident manner for the rest of their lives.  A Good Breeder will expose your puppy to Family life, strangers, other animals and sounds.

  •  Puppies that are raised in a kennel or barn away from these experiences may develop issues such as fear of new people and experiences, excessive barking, difficulty being handled, and difficulty bonding with humans. As the new owner of an American Bulldog puppy, it is important to continue your puppy’s socialization from 8 days to 16 weeks of age, potentially with the help of a professional dog trainer.

Training your American Bulldog

Training your American Bulldog is crucial to ensure that they are well-behaved and a joy to live with. A good breeder should provide resources and support to help you train your puppy, such as enrolling you in an online training program or providing a training manual.  The online training program we enroll you in will teach you exactly how to train your puppy so it is an absolute joy to live with, all you have to do is watch, learn and practice.


American Bulldogs can make great family pets when they are bred from health-tested parents, socialized and trained properly, and placed in a suitable home. It is important to carefully research and choose a reputable breeder, and to be prepared to invest time and effort into socializing and training your American Bulldog.
