The American Bulldog is a breed of dog. The breed was developed as a working dog for catching livestock and protecting property. The American Bulldog is a stocky, strong-looking dog. Its coat is short and either white or white with patches.

There are generally considered to be two types of American Bulldog, the Johnson type and the Scott type. These are named after the breeders who were influential in developing them, John D. Johnson and Allen Scott. The Johnson type is a larger dog with a shorter muzzle than the Scott type. However, many modern American Bulldogs are a combination of the two types.
