Keeping and caring for an American Bulldog
American Bulldogs are unpretentious, but they also need your care and attention. Their diet must be selected especially carefully, since the development of dogs of this breed ends only at 2.5-3 years. Not all bulldogs have enough of the food that their owners give them from their table. In addition to cereals, vegetables, fish, dairy products and meat, your pet's diet should include solid foods and dry food; it is a good idea to include plant foods and vitamins in the diet.
Accustom your puppy to walks gradually: start with short walks for half an hour, but 3-4 times a day. If you have free time for a run, your pet can accompany you. It is also worth teaching your American Bulldog to swim from an early age - then he will grow up stronger and healthier. At an early age, you should not put weights or harnesses on your pet.
If the fur gets slightly dirty after a walk, it doesn’t matter, you can wipe it with a damp cloth and wash the dog’s paws. Bulldogs do not need to be washed frequently, but during the shedding period it is worth brushing them thoroughly. Nails should be trimmed at least once every two weeks, and your dog's eyes and ears should be cleaned regularly. Representatives of this breed are easy to train, but bulldogs must be taught to communicate with other dogs and strangers from an early age. With proper care, American Bulldogs can live 16-17 years.
It’s easy to buy an American Bulldog; just go to a specialized kennel. The price of American Bulldog puppies can be found on the bulletin board.

American Bulldog Personality
in order to avoid antagonism between the dog and the owner, before you get an ambulant, you need to think about whether you have enough endurance and character to make him respect you
The dog is characterized by self-confidence, sometimes taking the form of superiority over others. This comes from his strength and independence; she feels in charge with the surrounding animals and even people.
In everyday life, the ambul is not hostile; he treats those who are smaller and weaker with condescension. He is not capable of offending a child or a puppy. He is extremely patient with children, even strangers, and allows them to do literally everything with him, while being extremely careful.
He has a special attitude towards children - the dog will even stand up for a child whom his father is trying to punish in front of his eyes. He will never pass by a crying baby without trying to calm him down. But leaving them alone with babies is risky due to their genetically inherent unpredictability of behavior.

They are sanguine by nature, friendly towards people, but at the same time always on the alert. Analyzing the environment and drawing conclusions, they are capable of lightning-fast reactions, not for nothing that they are considered perfect bodyguards. They act pragmatically and logically. For example, when pacifying a pack of wild dogs, the ambul will first calmly and carefully examine the enemies, and then, silently, unmistakably grab the strong leader and hold him until the owner intervenes.
Ambul is suitable only for experienced, emotionally and physically stable and hardy dog breeders. This dominant, strong and determined fighting dog is fearless and stubborn, she has a high pain threshold, and not everyone can make her respect herself. But if this is achieved, then harmony and mutual understanding between the owner and the pet are ensured for the rest of the time.
Dogs show the same unobtrusive devotion and goodwill towards all family members. With sufficient daily walking in a home environment, they mostly doze peacefully in their place, without fidgeting under their feet.
American bulldogs are famous hard workers, they are easy to train, try to be useful to their owner, and are good guards. When detained, they think well, showing prudence and cunning.
They express clear superiority towards their own kind, they simply do not notice the weak, but they will fight with those of equal size to the bitter end. Therefore, the puppy needs to communicate more with dogs so that in adulthood they remain his friends for life. Those with whom he is unfamiliar will always be considered competitors and strangers, constantly rushing at them with unexpected agility. This is inherent in the character of the dog, which always protects “its own” and “its own”.
These dogs need to be walked for long periods of time at least a couple of times a day.
With a lack of physical activity, there may be a surge in accumulated energy, leading to damage to surrounding furnishings, and sometimes even aggression. Walks and games are useful for expanding your circle of acquaintances and horizons.

Bulldog nicknames
Now many have forgotten where the name of the beautiful bulldog breed came from. These cute and calm dogs are completely different from bloodthirsty and wild monsters. But once upon a time they were bred purely for bull baiting, and the very phrase “bull dog” means nothing more than “bull dog”. But after a couple of centuries, morals have changed a lot, and such stupid fun is perceived as something completely unusual for a civilized person. Therefore, these funny and intelligent pets are considered by their owners exclusively as an excellent companion and sensitive bodyguard. Therefore, nicknames for American, French or English bulldogs should be chosen that are suitable - noble and respectful.
Tips for choosing a name for bulldogs
There are several varieties of this breed, so its origin can be distinguished using “national” characteristics. For example, nicknames for boys of French bulldogs can be called Francois, Fabien, Louis, Etienne. For an English bulldog, the nicknames Charles, Lord, Flint are good. American bulldogs should choose something cowboy-like, typical of true Yankees - Brooks, Brighton, Cowboy, Sheriff or Pentagon.
A similar approach can easily be applied to female names. Nicknames for girls of the French Bulldog breed should be gentle and cheerful - Babet, Margot, Parisian, Fifi, Eiffel. But the “British lady” should have a more noble name - Colin, Duchess, Macbeth, Cecil or Chelsea.
Many amateurs often imitate celebrities that can be found in literature. Here are some similar examples:
- Fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent did not change his habit, and he was always accompanied by bulldog dogs, which he invariably called, extremely simple for such a sophisticated person, with the name Mujik.
- Singer Julian even praised his handsome Willie in some interviews.
- Alena Apina at one time had a French bulldog with the long name Delicatessen De La France.
- TV presenter Marianna Maksimovskaya is an ardent fan of bulldogs; it is not surprising that she has a dog with the funny nickname Truffle.
- Photos of actor Malcolm McDowell with his French bulldog Agness are often found on the Internet.
There are other methods of choosing a name that are suitable for animals of any breed - use its distinctive character traits, external characteristics, habits of the puppy, and finally, you can simply take the nickname of your previous pet for the bulldog. We hope that this note will help you choose a cool name for your pet.

It is not necessary to give your pet a nickname right away. Before choosing a suitable nickname for your puppy, you should watch him for a couple of days. During this time, you can notice the dog’s habits, basic character traits or behavioral features. Sometimes this becomes a clear sign that helps subsequently decide on a name.
You shouldn’t delay choosing a nickname either. It is important that your pet develops a reflex to its own name in childhood. Usually 7-10 days are enough to think about a pet's nickname. During this time, the owners manage to sort through hundreds of options and come to a single decision.
If desired, you can give the American Bulldog a standard American nickname. Dogs are often given the following names:
