Does anyone know where I can get American Bulldog puppies?
Me and my brother want to get my mom an AB puppy for mother’s day. I am having a hard time finding a puppy! It needs to be on LI and NOT from a Puppy Mill!
~Thanks
Shelters and rescue organizations are great places to find dogs of any breed. But, if you want to find one on line, I have to ask what kind of money are you willing to spend? What kind of quality and temperament are you looking for. AB’s come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes as well as different temperaments. There are the Johnson type also known as the Bully type. They are shorter more heavily muscled with a more bulldog look to them. then there is the Scott’s type also known as the standard type. These are slightly taller and less bulky. AB’s can have extremely high drive and that makes them great for weight pulling, protection work etc. there are some who are mellow and laid back, but the majority are not. AB’s require a strong willed leader who is confident and able to handle them. I would do some extra research about the breed and make sure that your mom wants a dog like this before you spring it on her. I find that when giving a dog as a gift it is advisable to involve the person in the choice. This helps eliminate the problem of them not liking the dog you chose.
If you are determined that this is what you want try: WRAL.com; or Kijiji.com.
Best of Luck.

American Bulldogs are great, but what type are you looking for? A Johnson, Scott or a performance hybrid? Start with the American Bulldog Association breeders list
http://www.american-bulldog.com/ABA_breeder_directory.htm
Also The ARF Animal Research Foundation has a reputable list of breeders
http://animalresearchfoundation.com/
If you want a Bull from the breeder who basically saved the breed from extinction (he passed away earlier this year, but his kennel is still open), check out
http://www.johndjohnsonkennels.com/
There are alot of "backyard breeders" now, and if you’re looking for a pure Am. Bull take your time to research the breeders history. Look into the parents pedigree, if you’re trying to buy a purebred, this shouldn’t be hard.
