| Our Mission Welcome to Britten's American Bulldogs. At our house we continue Mr John D Johnson's (RIP) American Bulldog legacy, producing 100% Johnson and Johnson type American Bulldogs. We strive for conformation, health, working ability, tenacity, and over all temperment. Our American Bulldogs are the perfect family pet, and guardian. American Bulldogs are also my families' passion, but to support our American Bulldog addiction I have served active duty in the United States Navy as a Seabee for the past ten years while my wife is a high school history teacher. I grew up listening to my fathers stories of the American Bulldogs my grandparents raised when he was a boy on the family farm. I knew one day I would have some of my own. So when my wife and I decided to get a dog I already had the breed picked out. My wife and I bought our first American Bulldog for home protection, and after seeing how smart, trainable, and protective the American Bulldog was, we were hooked and fell into the family tradition. If your looking for a dog that the neighborhood children can play with, but will stand it's ground to protect it's family and home, an American Bulldog is what you are looking for. We only have one or two litters a year. All of our puppies are family raised, and socialized with children, other dogs, and cats from birth. So if you are interested you can call us, or stop by anytime.

| SOME OF BRITTEN'S AMERICAN BULLDOGS ACCOMPLISHMENTS EARNED AT ONE SHOW. |
| HISTORY OF THE JOHNSON AMERICAN BULLDOG Starting some where in 1930's a man named John D. Johnson of Summerville Georgia who used his bulldogs for farm work & protection of property. He begain gathering farm working bulldogs together into a breeding program to insure that they would never become extinct like their counterparts did in England. In the 1960's he was joined by Alan Scott, a farmer and breeder of Percheron draft horses from northern Alabama. Together they scoured remote swamps and mountains of the rural southern area of the United States of American and collected foundation stock of an ancient breed which was given a new name in 1984, the American Bulldog instead of the American Pit Bulldog was lead by Mr. John D. Johnson so people would not confuse it with the American Pit Bull Terrier, which is a bully breed but not a bulldog. While it is true that today's American Bulldog is a direct descendant of the Elizabethan era English Bulldog and is physically identical to its great great grandparents, they were never extensively used in baiting contests on this continent but were used instead as farm utility dogs, hunting dogs and as watch dogs, consequently their temperaments have been mellowed over the centuries but their physical abilities have been retained. The majestic American Bulldog has also proven to be a real ham, starring in many full length motion pictures and many commercials and advertisements. Showing the American bulldog's, intelligence and ability to adapt and serve their owner with trust, no matter what they are asked to do. The American Bulldog is now enjoying a great increase in popularity, not just in south east and south west,but all over America, Canada and the World. The American Bulldog can be found today World Wide working on farms catching hogs or cattle, also for hunting wild game, K9 police and protection work or just being a loving and protective family pet, just as they have done in the southern United States for hundreds of years. American Bulldogs also successfully compete in several dog sports such as Schutzhund, French Ring street protection sport, Iron Dog competition, weight pulling and in the show ring. They also are good at social work with the elderly,young children and ill patients. So no matter what story you have been told, "and there are many", or what you may believe about the beginnings of the American Bulldog, I believe due to Mr. John D. Johnson's for-site, great breeding skills and along with other men that had admiration for this breed of Bulldog, saving this great animal from extinction. |
